A farmhouse trip with a swimming pool, lush gardens, village charm, and a kids’ play area
calls for smart packing to ensure comfort, fun, and convenience. Whether you’re planning a
weekend escape or a longer stay, this ultimate packing guide covers everything you’ll
need.

1. Clothing & Footwear
   For Adults:
    Swimwear (for pool time)
    Light, breathable clothes (cotton shirts, shorts, sundresses)
    Comfy loungewear (for cool evenings)
    Sun hat & sunglasses (farmhouses can get sunny!)
    Sturdy sandals (for walking in gardens)
    Water shoes (if the pool area is rocky)
   For Kids:
    Extra swimsuits (kids love splashing around!)
    Play clothes (that can get dirty)
    Light jacket (for breezy evenings)
    Closed-toe shoes (for the play area)
2. Pool & Outdoor Essentials
    Sunscreen (SPF 30+) (reef-safe if swimming in natural pools)
    Beach towels & pool floats (check if the farmhouse provides them)
    Waterproof phone pouch (for poolside pics)

3. Kids’ Must-Haves
    Inflatable arm floats / life jackets (safety first!)
    Sand toys / outdoor games (for the play area)
    Baby wipes & hand sanitizer (messy play = quick cleanup)

4. Personal Care & Health
    Basic first-aid kit (band-aids, antiseptic, pain relievers)
    Motion sickness tablets (if the village roads are bumpy)

    Eco-friendly toiletries (many farmhouses prefer biodegradable products)
7. Food & Snacks

    Tea/coffee sachets (some farmhouses provide basics, but bring favorites)
    Wine or drinks (if you want to enjoy a sunset toast)
