Festive family getaways in Italy and France

Still not sure what to do for Christmas this year? Family-friendly travel company totstotravel.co.uk suggests trying something different by celebrating the festive season in France or Italy. The company has several properties available with lots of little extras to make Christmas special for parents and kids.

Properties will be tastefully decorated, with most providing a Christmas tree. Several will do a food shop for their guests’ Christmas dinner, welcome packs will be adapted to include seasonal treats like mince pies and handmade chocolates and some will even invite their guests for festive drinks or free Christmas dinner or hold treasure hunts for the children.

“Christmas is a wonderful time in France and Italy, with plenty of markets selling gifts, handcrafted ornaments and food. Towns and villages are decorated prettily with many larger towns featuring outdoor ice rinks. It’s a great way to celebrate Christmas slightly differently and our property owners will be on hand to make it magical,” says Wendy Shand, founder of Tots to Travel.
