What Makes a Villa Family-Friendly?
A family-friendly villa is designed with families' needs in mind. The living areas are safe, comfortable and enjoyable for everyone. Key features of a family-friendly villa include a safe swimming pool to prevent children from wandering off, enclosed gardens and plenty of outdoor spaces as the backdrop for running and playing.
Location is also key. A family-friendly villa should be situated in a safe and quiet area, ideally within walking distance of local amenities and attractions. Families that have visited Crete greatly appreciate easy access to supermarkets, restaurants, and entertainment options without the hassle of long drives.
Our family-friendly villas include child-friendly amenities such as highchairs and cots. Additionally, some villas also offer a range of activities and games, like pool tables, table tennis, and board games to keep children of all ages entertained.
A Perfect Space for Families
Open-plan living areas bring the outdoors and the indoors close together. They are perfect for keeping an eye on the little ones from the comfort of the kitchen or the living room. All villas have been carefully designed to give families areas where they can unwind, play, or have fun together, but with private areas as well for parents to relax on their own. The villas have spacious bedrooms and children’s bedrooms, some with bunk beds. You can even request a cot if you have babies traveling with you.
We have chosen our family-friendly villas for the services and amenities they offer to parents and families, including child-friendly features like game rooms, safe gardens, and child-proofing elements.
Child-Friendly Pool Paradise in Family-Friendly Villas
Family-friendly villas feature private swimming pools, often with shallow areas for children to play safely. These areas offer endless entertainment for young swimmers, although we have seen plenty of parents enjoy these parts of the swimming pool above anything else! Some villas also offer a heated swimming pool which means you get to enjoy the pool even when the weather turns cooler.
Wide pool terraces include shaded sections, perfect for outdoor family meals and poolside relaxation. Children can splash and play while adults supervise from comfortable loungers nearby.
