"My sons and I thoroughly enjoyed our first SPOH holiday in Spoleto. I had half-feared beforehand that it would be one big therapy session for bitter divorced people, but the truth could not be further from that - it is a chance to have fun and share a wonderful part of Italy with a group of like-minded adults with children of a similar age.
The organised activities took my sons out of their normal comfort zone (for example there was quite a lot of walking) but to my pleasant surprise they embraced the challenge, partly because it was fun and partly because they were inspired by the older children. The food at the hotel was really excellent (and I don't say that often), and the staff were happy to serve drinks outside when asked. Claudia did a wonderful job of herding the parents and keeping everyone happy. "

"James had a wonderful time, as did I safe in the knowledge he was entertained and having fun every day with his new friends. The guide was excellent and I was able to properly relax. We both had a great time. Thank you."

"My son and I have just returned from a trip to Marrakesh and wanted to let you know what a wonderful time we had. It goes without saying the weather was fantastic; so lovely to leave a cold and wet Britain and travel to warmth and sunshine. The hotel was all inclusive so, as expected, we got the usual bounteous buffet for breakfasts and three course lunches and dinners, but, what I hadn’t anticipated was that the hotel snack bar would continue to provide food and drinks throughout the day without additional charge. “Snacks” ranged from freshly made pizzas, burgers, chips and pancakes and both alcoholic and soft drinks were served. The pizzas and pancakes made my son particularly happy! The hotel also had a wide range of facilities, including crazy golf, tennis, table tennis, boules, indoor and outdoor pools, football and volley ball! Enough to keep us entertained for the whole week even if we didn’t feel inclined to do any of the day trips. That said our guided adventures to the souks, the mountains and a very memorable dromedary ride were colourful and informative. Some of the families got into the real spirit of bartering. The two guides, Mustafa and Kamel, were wonderfully friendly and attentive. They kept an eye on the children, even whilst at the hotel, and joined in in playing crazy golf and table tennis. My son now wants a table tennis set after the tuition they gave him! The guides were also very flexible in changing trips or dates for trips to suit the families. As usual, with a SPoH holiday, I also got the chance to meet and make friends with the other families and we all got on so well we hope to meet on another holiday soon. So thanks again SPoH."

"The Magredi holiday is extremely relaxing. The staff are very friendly and helpful. There aren’t many places I would revisit a second time. But this is definitely a holiday you would enjoy time and time again."

"I asked my daughter how she would describe our holiday in Lanzarote and she said ‘fabulous’. I totally agree. Sandra is a wonderful host and, alongside the super clean and comfortable hotel, the all-inclusive deal with great food and drinks, the lovely swimming pools and, of course, the good company of other families, this proved to be a really great holiday. We loved our camel ride, the trip to Rancho Texas zoo, the beach with pedalos and banana boats, walking along the seafront to the marina, visiting Teguise market and cruising in the glass bottomed boat – all great fun. Many thanks once again."

"The SPOH skiing holidays are always such fun with the right mix of organisation and free time, they just make the holiday go without a hitch."

"It was our first time with SPoH and both myself and my son thoroughly enjoyed the holiday. Well organised and good attention to detail by our host ensured a successful holiday."

"The Magredi farm holiday exceeded my expectations. Andrea, our host, went above and beyond for the group. There was a range of activities from horse riding to cooking to wine tasting, and the owners of the farm were very accommodating. My son and I both came away with amazing memories and wonderful new friends. "

"My daughter (12) and I had a fantastic time – this was an amazing place and we loved all the activities. Apart from the weather which was not too good the rest of the trip was excellent. The food was fantastic – the family who ran the farm were very helpful and were very good hosts. The whole trip however was made perfect by our fantastic guide and host- Tennessee who was so good and he could not have been more helpful especially when our taxi broke down on the way back to the airport- after many telephone calls we got to the airport 10 minutes after the flight should have gone but thankfully the plane was being held for us so we made it!"

"Had a fabulous time in Morocco, the hotel was very comfortable, food excellent, staff were very friendly and helpful. We did a mixture of pool and sea and beach. Plenty of activities for the teenagers including table tennis, water and beach volley ball and my son used the football pitch. We did 3 trips on offer, the camel ride, Agadir and the boat trip, all were good fun. I met the other parents at the airport and dined with them every night, 9 adults and 10 kids and we all got on really well together. Esther and Abdelaziz were wonderful hosts. Abdelaziz was available every day and accompanied us on all the trips, he also took us on a walk along the promenade one evening. Thanks SPOH, another fabulous experience."
