A family trip to Europe is fun, luxurious, and effortless with Classic Vacations.
Where do we start? For many families planning a European vacation, that’s a common conundrum. With a continent overflowing in rich history, exquisite food, breathtaking landscapes, and luxurious accommodations, it’s easy to get a little overwhelmed. That’s where Classic Vacations comes in. For 2024, Classic’s Family Europe Collection is a set of exceptional vacation properties that are spacious, safe, fun, luxurious, and full of amenities to make family travel a dream. The collection offers multiple European options, with Greece and Italy at the top of the list.
Greece

From toddler-friendly beaches to teenager-approved historical sites, the birthplace of democracy is the ideal destination for a family getaway. A host of luxe family-oriented properties are featured across multiple Greek destinations, including Santorini, Crete, and Mykonos. Spacious suites and expansive villas provide ample living space and memorable amenities like private pools, babysitting services, complimentary kid’s clubs, teen game rooms, divine spas, and enriching recreation.
For larger families, consider the three-story Eden Villa at the Andronis Arcadia in Santorini. The 6,500-square-foot property provides six bedrooms, two private pools, a fitness center, spa room, and a fully equipped kitchen—plenty of room for up to 12 guests.
Italy

Perhaps one of the most family-friendly destinations in Europe, Italy’s endless array of appeal has beckoned visitors of all ages and interests since the Renaissance era. From ancient ruins to contemporary cities, legendary cuisine to beeping Vespas, da Vinci to Versace, Italy is a seductive mix of historic splendor and modern sophistication.
Here, exceptionally roomy accommodations are located in the heart of two of Italy’s most cherished destinations: Florence and Sicily. In Florence, the Brunelleschi Hotel features various configurations of interconnecting rooms and suites to accommodate up to seven guests, while the Penthouse is a glorious space for 10. Situated inside the oldest tower in Florence, a stay here is full of history and enchantment.
In Sicily, the Verdura Resort is a Rocco Forte Hotel that’s designed especially for families with spacious suites, kids programs for all ages, and even bathrobes and slippers for the youngest guests. Its sister property, the Rocco Forte Private Villas, offer three- and four-bedroom private homes overlooking the Mediterranean, with fun-filled pools and peaceful courtyards.
Encounter unforgettable travel experiences, the Classic way.
