Renting Villas in the Mediterranean

Rent a villa or house with friends who have children the same age. Avoid remote locations and ideally find somewhere within safe walking distance of a town or large village where teenagers can wander off independently.

Beware villas in “residential areas” of towns, which can be a long way from the centre. Corfu, Crete, Ibiza and Majorca are all good bases. For large villas, try CV Travel, www.cvtravel.co.uk or Abercrombie and Kent, www.abercrombiekent.co.uk.
