in Menorca

in Crete
Elounda Residence Resort & Waterpark
A big spread of rooms and apartments, most with a private balcony or terrace, plus premium rooms and private-pool villas. Apartments with kitchenettes make self-catering possible, useful given the hilltop setting where nipping out to a shop or taverna means a walk or a drive.

in Lake Garda

Apartments and studios rather than hotel rooms, most with a kitchenette (fridge, kettle, tea and coffee), a balcony or terrace and air conditioning through the summer months. That kitchenette is the reason to come: bottles, purees and 6am toddler breakfasts without a restaurant timetable. Be clear-eyed about condition, though, because the cheapest rooms are dated and reviews flag maintenance.
in Rhodes
Sala Historical Suites
Contemporary self-catering apartments in the heart of Rhodes Town, a short walk from the medieval Old Town and Elli Beach. A one-bedroom apartment comfortably sleeps four, with a kitchenette so you can do breakfasts and toddler meals in.

in Corfu
Kassiopi Bay
An apartment hotel at the north-western tip of Kassiopi harbour, a stone's throw from the main beach. Family apartments are spacious and clean with comfortable beds, and each has its own kitchen space, so bottles, purees and early breakfasts are on your schedule rather than a buffet's. This is accommodation, not a resort: there is no animation team, no slides and no evening show.
in Lisbon
Hello Lisbon Castelo Apartments
