Traveling with kids is an adventure—until it’s not
We’ve always loved to travel as a family. My partner and I made a promise early on that having children wouldn’t mean giving up on discovering the world.
We’ve stuck to that promise. Over the last few years, we’ve explored Spain, Croatia, and parts of Southern Italy with our two kids—ages six and nine—always with backpacks, snacks, and a mix of excitement and chaos in tow.
But if you’ve ever traveled with children, you know there’s a thin line between adventure and disaster. Especially when you need to book accommodation fast.

The trip that nearly fell apart
Our most recent trip started in Naples. We had booked three nights in advance and figured we’d take it from there. No pressure, we said. Let’s see where we feel like going next.
And for a while, it worked. Until we decided to head to Matera last-minute and realized it was a holiday weekend. Everything seemed either full or absurdly expensive.
We tried the usual platforms. Most of the listings either didn’t have enough beds, weren’t family-friendly, or turned out to be unavailable the moment we clicked.
The kids were starting to get tired, and we were close to giving up and settling for a tiny hotel room just to get it over with.
That’s when my partner remembered Bluepillow.com.
A simple platform that made room for real needs
We hadn’t used it before, but the interface felt immediately different. It didn’t push experiences or inspiration—it just asked us what we needed, and showed us places that actually matched.
No guessing games, no clickbait pricing, no last-minute “surprise” fees.
What we appreciated most was how easy it was to filter places that were genuinely suitable for a family. We needed at least two beds, a kitchen, and—this is crucial—a bit of space. Not easy to find last-minute in a popular tourist town.
But Bluepillow found us an apartment right outside the Sassi, with a small patio and enough room for the kids to run in circles without knocking over lamps. We booked it in under ten minutes, and it was exactly as described.
When reliability matters more than aesthetics
The truth is, when you’re traveling as a couple, you can afford a certain level of spontaneity—even a bit of discomfort. But with kids? Comfort becomes non-negotiable.
You don’t just need a place to sleep. You need to know there’s a working stove for breakfast, a door that locks properly, enough towels, and Wi-Fi that actually works when you need to send work emails at night.
Bluepillow didn’t just show us options—it helped us feel in control again. After a few frustrating hours jumping between apps, it was the one platform that let us solve the problem without creating new ones.
Now it’s part of our travel routine
Since that trip, we’ve used Bluepillow.com two more times: once in France during a road trip through Provence, and once just last month for a weekend getaway near Lake Garda.
Each time, the experience was the same: quick searches, accurate availability, and a real sense of trust in what we were booking.
We still love to leave parts of our journey unplanned—it’s what keeps travel exciting for us. But knowing we have a tool like Bluepillow ready to help when plans shift? That’s made all the difference.
If you’re a parent planning family trips—whether weeks in advance or on the fly—I can honestly say this: Bluepillow.com has saved us more than once. And when you’re traveling with kids, that’s exactly the kind of backup you want.
