We took our son when he was 10 months - he's nearly 27 now! I would recommend a villa or apartment so that you can have a bit of space in the evenings.

We are supposed to be flying on 1st May. We had it all booked and paid for last year and, when it was cancelled, put it back by a year. Fingers are still crossed but hope is starting to fade.
