Top 10 essential items to pack for a countryside getaway

Spending a weekend in a country house needs an important prior preparation: finding a date that will work well for the whole group, finding the ideal house and... packing! Today we give you a hand with the 10 essential things that you need to carry inside your suitcase to go for a countryside getaway. Because we put the best cottages from here with all the comfort, but there are details that depend only on you!

1. Raincoat

In our houses you will find gardens and terraces ideal for enjoying the outdoors in winter and in summer. That is why, so that the inclement weather does not stop you, we recommend wearing a waterproof jacket or raincoat. With it, you will be available to enjoy the calçots, barbecues and outdoor games with the family, whatever the weather is.

2. Swimsuit and pool towels

Our swimming season lasts from Easter until the last weekend of October, which is when they are in good condition for a swim. Anyway, there is always a daring one that when seeing a ray fo sunshine, jumps directly to the water! So, don't forget the bathing suit and towels for the pool. Dare!

3. Small medicine cabinet

Many of the country houses are isolated from urban areas or small towns. If you want to stay calm, bring a small first aid kit with the most basic things like strips, alcohol, anti-thermal agents, etc. We hope you don't have to use it, but as the saying goes: "One good forewit is worth two afterwits."

4. More than a pair of shoes

Around our houses you will find forests, rivers, beaches, fields... Ideal places for walking, disconnecting and where you will most likely return with dirty shoes. Be predictors and bring at least two pairs!

5. Oil, salt, pepper and vinegar

And all the rest of the food you need for every meal. You may think that oil and salt are basic things that would not cost much to leave in the houses, but we do not do this since we consider it more hygienic for each group to have all their food. Get organised so you don't miss out on anything! We leave you all the necessary utensils so that you can prepare an exquisite dish, but you have the ingredients and the love.

6. Balls and paddles

In the vast majority of our homes we have football goals, volleyball nets, table tennis, etc. We always leave the corresponding paddles and balls, but if you enjoy playing with new paddles or your lucky ball, we recommend that you bring them, so you will not have the excuse to have lost because of "the ball. "

7. His favorite teddy

Boys and girls are welcome in our country houses. We make it easy for you and we have a free cot (on request), high chair and bath lifts. However, do not forget about its favorite teddy bear so that the nights are calm and you can enjoy a good gin tonic during sleep!

8. Mosquito repellent

No matter how hard we try, mosquito bites are a topic that we find difficult to control. If you have sweet blood, remember to bring a good mosquito repellent and mosquito repellent to the room so you can avoid biting because, especially in summer, some mosquitoes can snoop around the garden.

9. Flashlight

It will be dark at night, and then it will be the ideal time to go out and explore. Little ones and adults, take your flashlight and blend into the woods, without fear!

10. Board games

A rainy or extremely hot weekend can always be a great opportunity to get board games out of the closet. Grab them and you're sure not to get bored! You will find some board games at many of our houses, but keep in mind that state may not be optimal because some kids are used to playing games without rules and they tend to be one for the destroyed!
