Heading to Rome, Italy?

This is one of our favorite Rome rental apartments, we LOVE!!!

Super relaxing to sit outside on the rooftop terrace, drinking a glass of wine and listening to the iconic bells chime as they have for thousands of years.

No matter if you are a friend’s group, family with young children or teenagers, having some space makes every trip more relaxing!

And here’s a personal as well as travel client favorite on France’s famous French Riviera – top photo of wine & Mediterranean. Heaven!

Yup, this photo at top is of us relaxing, glass of wine & some jazz music playing, overlooking the beautiful French Riviera!

On arrival, take inventory of all food items in vacation rental & put away all problematic foods.

Always have fresh sponge and disinfecting wipes to clean counters, handles, etc… almost always, we wash silverware, pots and dishes we will be using.

Vacation rental Food Ideas

Since we’ve been renting thru top VRBO & AirBnB for many years, a few suggestions:

• Was this a car trip? Can you bring some make ahead meals or frozen dishes?
• Fast, safe breakfasts like yoghurt (#dairyfree), fresh fruit, (#glutenfree) bread & jams, eggs & safe cereal
• Lunch for at apartment or on the go in our backpack cooler are wraps or sandwiches, leftovers from dinner
• Snacks & Dessert – brought from home #allergyfriendly cookies, crackers, candy as well as fresh fruit, veggies & dip, food allergy-friendly local foods
• Dinners: slow cooker BBQ chicken/beef/veggies, Nicoise or Greek salads with your choice of protein like salmon, chicken, grilled veggies or steak & 1 pan or sheet pan meals
• Travel day foods like omelets, jam sandwiches & leftovers

Helpful Items to Make Vacation Meals NOT A Lot of Work

As we are just back from the Caribbean, have fresh thoughts on how to make a vacation rental fun & NOT a lot of work!

Bring or buy paper plates, napkins/paper towels, and disinfecting wipes.

Pack or purchase: precut veggies, dips, pasta, olive oil/dairy free butter, salad salsa, tortilla chips, proteins.

A great packable item: collapsible bowls! These are super nice to bring on picnics.

Have pre-teens/teens/kids of any age, chose a day to cook dinner (with supervision if needed) and another day to cleanup.

You may be surprised that they feel more grownup & independent.

Fun, Family Tradition

On vacation, we let our kids pick what they want to make and only use allergy safe ingredients.

To tell you the truth, in Europe, our kids LOVE to head to the local markets and pick out their ingredients. It’s now become a family tradition!

😅 All around the market, you could hear my son Brandon, practicing his Italian:

“MOZZ-ARR-ELLA de buffalo!!”

Because of our frequent trips, Brandon learned to cook A LOT of food in a vacation rental including:

Biscotti, tortellini stuffed with ricotta, eggplant parmesan, apple crumble…which he made great use of in his college apartment.
