Best Family Package Holiday on Med

BoardsMember

Hi. We're just back from a great family holiday. Not a package, flew with Ryanair to south of France, stayed on the Med coast in campsite, rented a car. The usual stuff. It was brilliant I have to say, but with anticipated reductions in income over the next years, I was wondering if people had any recommendations for package holidays, i.e. charter flight, transfer, accommodation all in single price. I imagine it would work out a good bit cheaper.

Kids are 4 & 7. Ideally we'd have walking access to beach, but onsite pool too, and kids club.

This year's trip cost us about 2800 for 11 nights before spending money:
flights 1000
car 400
accommodation 1400

How does this compare with other people? We have pretty luxurious accommodation in a chalet on a beautiful beach in a really good campsite. I'd be happy to go to anywhere in the Med and try something different if there was significant gains to be made though.

Did stay at the viva sunrise in Majorca for the 5 of us in late September it was 1500. Sc. I've never come across another holiday that cheap for the 5 of us.


Went to lanzarote in august last year it was 1700 for one week all inclusive for 2 adults and 1 free child.

For a holiday in July or august for the 5 of us would work out at over 3.5k for 1 week sc.

We love Italy so plan on going back there for the next few years.

Hi, what were the sites you went to in the Languedoc, St Raphael, and the one in Italy? You got some great prices there!
Thanks

The campsite we stayed in languedoc was le sirene, fantastic place, water slides in the pools and good entertainment, the acts were in french but they were brilliant, they did cats and greece, in any language it was brilliant.

The place we stayed i st rapheal was Esterel was good but not a good as le sirene, i think la baum has better facilities. We took a trek over the mountains as there is a riding centre next door, we were on a small track with a sheer drop the other side, not for the faint hearted...

The Italian campsite near venice is called marina di venizia (trip advisor reviews are very good) it was perfect for us, going back next year but plan to take a day trip to the lakes. It was so clean and safe, its the best spot we have been to. The beach was massive and clean with plenty of cafes ( there was a storm after we came back home and washed sea weed on to the beach but the campsite takes care of the beach and got rid of it all took a couple of days though). Not much evening entertainment until July/August same with most campsite, but to sit out with a glass of wine in the fine weather with the kids out playing is very relaxing.
