Better an hotel or an apartment for the kids?

Some families prefer the apartment because it gives you more freedom and space especially if you stay more than a couple of days in a location and visit the surroundings

If you travel with your family in the winter you have the chance to participate to one of the famous Carnival parades that take place in many towns around the country.

With small kids indeed, it is difficult to set specific times, in particular for meals or bedtime. Furthermore, on holiday, habits change.

Often in an apartment children have a room all to themselves, where they can play peacefully. while mum and dad plan the itinerary and places to explore! And if you have the misfortune of rain... there is never enough space in the house for games!

The apartment can be felt more homy and create a more habitual atmosphere for the kids with mum cooking food while dad takes care of playing and keeping the little ones entertained.

Finally, if you don't want to create a mess in the apartment and have the problem of dish setting and washing you can change restaurants every day and savor typical specialties meeting the locals in family-run trattoria.
