[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We love to do this once every few years and we'll get a big house somewhere in Europe. It's always so fun. We went to Spain in 2019 and stayed at this house (https://www.elmolinospain.com/). Was wonderful - huge grounds with a pool and tennis and animals and fresh eggs from the chickens. And close to a lot of really great places. I think we went to Ronda, Granada to see the Alhambra, Malaga, and Seville.

We've also done this in Provence and Italy and it always works out well.

Any recs for specific houses in Provence or Italy?[/quote]

I've been digging through all of my travel stuff and just cannot find the name of the Italy house, sorry! But here's the one we stayed in in Provence a few years ago: http://www.onlyprovence.com/villas/hirondelles/?search=true&sort=&dateArriving=&dateDeparting=&sleeps=8&beds=&baths=&price=&pl=IP&collection=&v=IP&weeks=4&am1=&am2=&am3=&am7=&am9=&am10=&am12=&am5=&am6=#prop-village[/quote]

DP. Have traveled internationally with extended family (including young kids), first to Provence and then Tuscany. 3 families max though. It obviously gets more complicated the more families you add. These houses would be small for your group I think, but helpful starting points for rental companies. Both times, we had chefs come in a couple of nights during the week. Also key is being right outside a town so we had market/restaurant/pastries/dessert/walking around options. For the second trip (Italy), we had arranged tour guides with transportation - this enabled us to really enjoy the scenery. Finally, definitely resist the temptation to pack in too much sightseeing.

Provence link (same rental company as above poster, it seems) - http://www.onlyprovence.com/villas/vendanges/. Flew into Marseilles and did day trips to Avignon, Aix en Provence, Gordes (and nearby lavender fields), and Cassis.  
Tuscany link - https://www.emmavillas.com/en/tuscany/il-molinaccio-14+2#details. Spent 48 hours in Rome before driving to house. Stayed right outside Montepulciano and did daytrips to Pienza and Sienna, and Montalcino; and then explored Orvieto on the way back to Rome.
