You may just have got used to some sort of routine at home and the prospect of abandoning that framework is rather alarming. <strong>And if it\u2019s your first attempt to holiday with a baby <u>and<\/u> a pre-schooler, then you\u2019re forgiven for panicking!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In fact, if you\u2019ve done your homework and planned well, <strong>there\u2019s no reason why your holiday shouldn\u2019t be just as lovely as your now long-forgotten holidays <em>\u00e0 deux<\/em>. Lovely, but different.<\/strong> But if you\u2019re not sure where to start, here are some tips on how to make that first <a title=\"villas in sicily\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wishsicily.com\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">villa holiday in Sicily<\/a> with your baby go swimmingly.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>When\u2019s the best time for a holiday in Sicily?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019re planning a pool or beach-based holiday, you need to make sure it\u2019s not going to be too hot. In July and August in Sicily, the thermometer regularly creeps up into the high 30\u2019s, and even if you\u2019re staying in an air-conditioned villa, you\u2019ll find it too hot to be outside.<\/p>\n<p>Consider instead a September or October break, when days are still generally warm and sunny, but the heat is considerably less fierce than during the peak summer months. Beaches, and the main tourist spots, are also much less crowded. On top of that, prices are considerably lower in the autumn so it\u2019s worth taking advantage of them before the kids start primary school.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Choosing your villa location <\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Make your baby\u2019s first trip a happy one by keeping life simple. Our best advice is firstly, to choose a villa that\u2019s not too far from the airport. If you\u2019re flying into Catania, choose a villa around the lovely town of Acireale, or between the slopes of Mount Etna and the coast. <a title=\"large villa in sicily\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wishsicily.com\/en\/sant-alfio\/villas-in-sicily\/le-case-dell-etna\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Le Case dell\u2019Etna<\/a> is a complex of 3 villas, 2 with pools set amongst leafy lawns, less than an hour from Catania.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2472\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2472\" style=\"width: 966px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wishsicily.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/le-case-dell-etna.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2472\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2472\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wishsicily.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/le-case-dell-etna.jpg\" alt=\"Villa Cocuzzolo at Le Case dell'Etna, Mt Etna\" width=\"966\" height=\"644\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wishsicily.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/le-case-dell-etna.jpg 966w, https:\/\/www.wishsicily.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/le-case-dell-etna-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.wishsicily.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/le-case-dell-etna-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 966px) 100vw, 966px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2472\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Villa Cocuzzolo at Le Case dell&#8217;Etna, Mt Etna<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Secondly, staying in a villa that\u2019s within walking distance of shops, restaurants and the beach will limit the number of times you all have to pile into the car to get anywhere. \u00a0<a title=\"pool villa in sicily\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wishsicily.com\/en\/acquedolci\/villas-in-sicily\/casa-franchina\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Casa Franchina<\/a> is situated just a short walk from the beach and shops at Acquedolci, and is guaranteed to be a toddler-pleaser thanks to its pool, children\u2019s slide, and swing.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3628\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3628\" style=\"width: 966px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wishsicily.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/DJI_0024-1.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-3628\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3628\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wishsicily.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/DJI_0024-1.jpg\" alt=\"Casa Franchina\" width=\"966\" height=\"644\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wishsicily.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/DJI_0024-1.jpg 966w, https:\/\/www.wishsicily.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/DJI_0024-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.wishsicily.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/DJI_0024-1-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 966px) 100vw, 966px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3628\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Casa Franchina<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><strong>Step on to a sandy beach <\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Better still, why not stay in a villa with a garden gate on to the beach?

By sharing child-minding duties, cooking and shopping, you\u2019re more likely to get some child-free time and perhaps even get to go out for a dinner for two. It\u2019s also fun for any toddlers in the group who will have started to interact with other children. And once the kids are in bed, you can relax over delicious dinners and enjoy adult conversation.<\/p>\n<p>In September and October, you may find a larger villa with reduced prices for smaller groups.
