We rounded up some of our favorite budget-friendly hotels we’ve personally stayed at, focusing on places that offer great value for families without sacrificing comfort or location. These are hotels where we felt our money went further — with reasonable nightly rates, family-friendly setups, and locations that made sightseeing easy. They’re the kinds of stays that help keep a trip affordable without feeling like a compromise.

This island may not be a secret but it truly is an hidden gem. Our week on this beautiful Italian island turned into one of our all-time favorite family trips.

In my full trip recap, I’m sharing everything we learned, loved, and would 100% do again. If you’re dreaming of a family beach vacation that feels both peaceful and special, you’re going to LOVE this place.
