For example, I would suggest you go to places in July where a lot of European’s may vacation in August.

- Renting a villa along, the Tuscan coast would be good and centrally located.
- or try Begur in Spain; drive to Andorra; then France (fly out of Montpelier)
- SW French coast through Provence (villa st Ange in Aix has avail; or château les Merles in Dordogne or La Signoria's Family Suites/Villas in Corsica)

- no to Greece/Sicily/Amalfi/puglia etc.

If you are not wed to staying in only one place, you will have a lot more options. And also suggest flying into one city & out of the other.

We are all travel arm chair quarterbacks, and probably would love the opportunity to find you lodging for your family of five if you give us an idea of locations! And the types of accommodations, you typically travel in.

Btw

Just got this email from a villa company I regularly use for rentals along the Tuscan coast (we typically fly into Rome, pick up rental car, drive up coast for 1.5 to 2 hours):

We still have some availability this summer in a small cottage sleeping up to 6 people in three bedrooms, three bathrooms near Porto Santo Stefano and in one or two larger villas with cooks sleeping 10 to 12 guests near Porto Ercole.

Gorgeous rentals. Saving for a group trip next year. Thank you

OP here-thanks for the great suggestions and also affirming that certain popular destinations will be booked, crowded, etc. We completely recognize we are late to the party, so we don’t have any super specific locales in mind.

We are now thinking Scandinavian countries first two weeks of August. A beach area would be nice for a few days, but really open to anything. We are physically active. No real budget constraints. Ideas?

see if you can find a villa for rent either in the the South of France or somewhere like Croatia and then find out how you might get there - a combination of flights and trains is most likely scenario

Denmark has some good farm holiday locations. Run a search to see if they have any space. You might get lucky.
