The perks of apartment renting in Europe
Posted: July, 14 2014
When planning for a family vacation, finding hotel accommodations that can fit everyone can be a challenge. This can especially be the case when traveling abroad to Europe where hotel rooms are typically much smaller than the hotels you’d find in the States. However, there’s a way to keep your family together in one unit without everyone piling into one bed—apartment rentals.
Many people don’t think to look into renting an apartment on vacation, but it can be a great way to accommodate a large family or group of friends traveling together. It’s also great for long trips and provides you with a much more cozy and home-like setting that often includes wonderful amenities like separate living areas and full kitchens.
Even if you don’t have a large group to travel with, apartments are also wonderful for small groups or traveling couples. They provide a tranquil and peaceful retreat after a day of sightseeing and exploring. A luxurious apartment would make for a fantastic honeymoon suite or place to stay for a romantic getaway. For example, Rome vacationers can go to the market, purchase fresh-made pasta, ingredients for sauce, and a bottle of wine to take back to the apartment to prepare a romantic meal together to enjoy in the privacy of your own kitchen and dining room. Perhaps you may even have a private balcony to enjoy a decadent dessert you picked up at a Roman bakery.
No matter how you’re traveling, an apartment is certainly a luxurious way to spend your nights while exploring Europe.
Small and Elegant Hotels works with apartment rentals all over Europe and we love recommending them to guests who need a little more room than the standard hotel room or would like the extra comfort of being able to have a full kitchen to prep breakfast for children or eat-in on occasion during a trip.
When searching the Small & Elegant Hotels website for apartments, first select your destination city. From there, you’ll see all of the accommodations in that city broken up into categories, one of which is apartments. Nearly every destination in our portfolio includes apartment selections, so no matter where you’re headed on your next trip, there will likely be an apartment to fit your needs.
