For families, the best-fitting Holiday Homes Maridu accommodations are Family Wellness (Hattemerbroek, near Zwolle), Family L-Cube (Resort De Hooge Veluwe, Arnhem), and the three larger Czech villas Celine, Elizabeth and Marianne, which each sleep 8. Family Wellness sleeps 5 in 2 bedrooms and is the most accessible choice: it is fully single-level and step-free, has a high chair and a travel cot, and is the only home with contactless self check-in. Family L-Cube sleeps 6 in 3 bedrooms with an extensive private garden. Almost every home provides a high chair, so the right pick mainly comes down to group size, location and whether you want a resort pool, a hot tub or a sauna.
