Family · Safety · Checklist
With children you don’t worry about stars, but about stairs, a kitchenette and whether there is somewhere to run around. Here is a list that will save you a first evening of improvising.
Which type by age
| Age | What works | Why |
|---|---|---|
| 0–3 | apartment, country cottage | a kitchenette, your own sleep routine, room for a pushchair |
| 3–8 | farm, guesthouse with a playground, country cottage | animals, outdoor space, short trips |
| 8–14 | guesthouse by the water, mountain hut | activities, bikes, water |
| teenagers | apartment in town, glamping | privacy, an experience |
Safety checklist
- Stair gates, or a ground-floor room
- Window locks, a balcony railing without gaps
- Water nearby (pond, stream, pool) – is it fenced?
- Cot, high chair, baby bath
- Mosquito screens on the windows (near water)
- A pharmacy and an emergency department within reach
- A kitchenette or a way to heat food
