We would also like to invite grandparents, this would mean 2 extra adults & perhaps give us an extra free child space ??
We have been away once & stayed in the Hotel Villa Romana & would love to go back. but since had another child (the 2 yr old ) so it's a little more pricey than before not sure we can do it.
