The very best thing about the holiday was Ivano. He was absolutely brilliant!!! He is intelligent, informed, interesting, capable, good fun, funny, kind and generally wonderful. He was fantastic with my children and we all became very attached to him. We genuinely got on well. He is a well-travelled and worldly-wise Sicilian which meant we could have great chats about everything. He was organised,…
Read more prompt and very good at communicating with us about arrangements. He was extremely kind and generous and made the extra personal effort to make our holiday extra special. We all miss him and are so grateful to him for making our holiday just perfect. I would thoroughly recommend him as a fantastic holiday guide and I wish him the very best of luck with all his ventures.

Swimming with dolphins was amazing and extremely well managed by the skipper on our boat. An experience we will never forget.

We could not fault the arrangements and planning of activities. The lagoon day was very special and we felt privileged to be able to have such a fabulous time in this secret place.

The holiday was excellent. The activity hosts were professional and the organisation and execution of the activities were outstanding. All activities were enjoyed by one or more members of the family. There was not an activity that was not enjoyable. There were some that were more difficult than others to master. Surfing, for example, is very enjoyable but will take significant practice to master.

Don't change anything. A very good balance of activities. It was great to see my son enjoying activities he hadn't tried before & becoming more confident on his bike though the mountain biking day. Dago, the local rep, was superb throughout. He was a big part of making the holiday very enjoyable. Sort was great. It did not feel like a typical tourist resort. Food prices were very reasonable.…
Read more Very few other English voices around. I think I could count the number of times I heard other Brits through the week on the fingers of 1 hand. We were a group of 10 in total. Everyone got on well, which added to the experience.

This was our third holiday away with AA and it didn't disappoint! We spent the first week and a half travelling around Sicily before starting our week of adventure. The locations for the activities were beautiful, the accommodation very comfortable, and the food was delicious. The boys especially enjoyed the body rafting whilst my favourite was the snorkelling in the beautiful warm clear blue sea.…
Read more We all thoroughly enjoyed hiking to the summit of Mt Etna and this really made the holiday for us. We were a little apprehensive about being the only family booked for our week but we needn't have been. Ivano and Vera were so welcoming and helpful and allowed us some flexibility in tailoring our activities to suit us. The boys were fortunate enough to meet some AA families who had stayed/arrived a few days extra/before so they had some time to chat and hang out around the pool with kids their own age. Thoroughly recommend it. 5 stars from us!

The activity team were the nicest guys you can wish to meet. Their pride and knowledge of the local area were excellent and inspiring. Their encouragement during the activities was also what made the holiday.

Fantastic holiday - kids had a blast and it felt so much longer than a week. Guides were excellent.

Whale watching, swimming with dolphins, snorkelling - great fun, amazing experiences to enjoy and share. Tour guides were absolutely fantastic, particularly Maria, nothing was too much trouble.

A family of 5 (kids aged 15, 13 & 10) stayed in the new apartment blocks at the Feel Free Resort Oetz for one week in August on DB&B. Spectacular location with sensational views of the mountains and valley; very high spec and modern spacious apartment with well-equipped kitchen and well-designed bathrooms/wet rooms. Very friendly and helpful front desk and restaurant staff who couldn't do…
Read more enough for us. The food was plentiful, varied and of good quality. The local bike shop was well stocked with great bikes and could provide a host of other extras for all your hiking and cycling needs. The resort put on its own programme of hiking, cycling, volleyball and archery which we enjoyed as well as the additional activities paid for by the points system. We tried white water rafting (power rafting) which we all loved - even the 10-year-old; sporty explorer canyoning which was great for the teenagers; and also Area 47 Water Park which was a haven for adrenaline fuelled teenagers. Additionally, the resort has a spa, (very) small gym, provides a trampoline, table tennis tables (x3) a mini bike track; volleyball court, table football, tight ropes and several activities for smaller ones. We highly recommend this holiday for active families, although it is a beautiful area just to relax if you so choose.
