Think beyond the guest count
Check where each person will sleep and whether the living room becomes a bedroom at night. Ask about curtains, air conditioning, kitchen equipment and access with a pushchair. A cot, high chair, lift or child-safe balcony should never be assumed from a general description: request confirmation for the named apartment.
Make arrival simple
Keep the first evening flexible. Confirm keys, food options and your transfer meeting point before travelling. Tell the transport provider the children’s ages and required seats. Our partner page links to Di Transfers, while the free holiday planner lets you save the essential details without an account.
Plan around the youngest traveller and the evening routine
Think through an ordinary evening before choosing the apartment. If a child sleeps in the living room, where will the adults sit afterwards? If children share a room, are the beds suitable for their ages? A separate bedroom can make a difference, but the actual arrangement matters more than the label family apartment. Tell us what your group needs so that the layout can be checked before confirmation.
Make a similar plan for arrival. Keep a change of clothes and the things needed for the first evening accessible rather than at the bottom of a large suitcase. Arrange any requested child seat directly with the transfer provider and ask about apartment equipment separately. A transport child seat and an apartment cot are different requests. Avoid planning a tightly timed activity immediately after arrival; getting everyone settled may be a better first priority.
