"I could not recommend Alpendorf summer break highly enough. Myself and my 4/almost 5 year old daughter had a great week. There was plenty of company for us both – a lovely rapport within the group. Our “leader” Daniela was simply great – she facilitated everyone and ensured all went smoothly without ever dominating the group. Meals with separate adult and children tables (which evolved quite naturally!) were very welcome – it meant both children and parents had breathing space! We were blessed with weather in Aug 2012 and it will go down as my first real holiday since my daughter was born in that I was not responsible for organisation and decisions etc. A no brainer for a single parent looking for a nice break and a change of scene. Activities suitable for all ages of children – something for everyone from lake trips to paragliding and rafting for the more adventurous. Food was very good and varied. Hotel is beautiful – family feel – small. Our room had a great view and was tastefully furnished in alpine style etc. Can say no more than that!"

"Myself and my daughter loved this holiday. All activities were great and it was so nice to get time just to chill out by the pool. The evening meals were lovely and, although at first I didn't believe the adults and children eating on separate tables was a good idea, after the first night my 4 year old daughter was very chuffed she got to just hang out with the kids.
The staff on the farm, who took care of us were amazing, they are so passionate about what they do and so accommodating to all their guests. It was very refreshing to experience staff who love their job and love having so many big and small visitors. If you are wondering which holiday to go on with this company, I would say this one is a good start. We will return, it is a magical place."

"Fred and I had a fabulous time. We enjoyed all the activities but equally enjoyed the spare time in between when we could spend time playing by the pool and around the farm. Italy was beautiful, the company was great and I was able to relax and give Fred a little bit of freedom to explore and play with his new friends in a very safe environment. Thank you."

"The perfect farm holiday for parents and young children. The activities were varied and ideal for children aged 5-10 years. A fantastic location in rural italy, and the day in the lakes in particular was amazing! Such a refreshing change from a beach holiday."

"Once again we have all enjoyed a superb holiday with SPOH (our 4th) – Sandra is the perfect host and makes everyone feel welcome and included – takes the strain (organisation wise) off the single parents and is great company. Fantastic hotel and location with a range of activities to suit all – highly recommended."

"Wow - You did it again! Great skiing holiday again with SPOH and many thanks to Sandra and Tennessee for hosting and looking after the whole group in Selva. My family had a great time and are already asking about 2017 skiing holiday with you. Many thanks."

"This was the best family holiday we've ever had. We've done regular package holidays in the past and while we've enjoyed them, I've found it lonely at times without adult company and the kids, particularly, have always been glad to get home. This time it was a huge wrench to leave for all of us. Our host, Thomas, and the hotel staff, Gelindo, Donatello and their team, could not do enough for us to make sure we had a really great time, both parents and children alike. I can't fault the service, the food, the activities or the warmth of the welcome in any way. There were so many special events put on just for our group, I can honestly say this week was the first time when being a single parent has felt a privilege. Our week was made extra special by the lovely group of like-minded people we were lucky to share our holiday with. If I had one concern before arriving, it was that I wouldn't get on with the other parents and would feel forced to have group fun! In fact the other holiday makers were fantastic company, the activities were relaxed with no obligation to join in and plenty of flexibility when we did. We also had time to relax by the pool and just enjoy our surroundings on the farm.
The hotel setting, both locally and regionally was fabulous, with a trip to magical Venice a must. I would heartily recommend this holiday and wouldn't hesitate to book with SPOH again.
