Kids
Best Suited For: All AgesVilla I Grilli is a wonderful, spacious and rambling home which provides an enchanting environment for children of all ages. The magnificent gardens, games room, and many mysterious pockets of this spacious home and grounds will provide ample opportunity for small imaginations to roam and play.
The pool will provide hours of splashy fun, whilst an al fresco meal will be a glamorous novelty. With so many bedrooms to choose from, and playful touches like jacuzzi baths, children will be delighted at this characterful home. Dining is easy, with an array of choices, including a relaxed breakfast table and a well-equipped eat-in kitchen.
For day trips, among the highlights for children in Tuscany, Pinocchio Park Collodi is a great day out - Collodi is home to a theme park dedicated to Pinocchio and his adventures, with activities like literary itineraries, buildings and sculptures set amidst the greenery, art exhibitions and illustrations, puppet making workshops and more. Rather than being a Disney style park, it is more a cultural and natural environment, very Italian in style.
Pistoia zoo is located on the hills near Pistoia and is one of the most popular zoos in Italy; covering a space of seven hectares and an array of species for a fun and educational day out.
The water park, Aqua Village is located in Follonica, near Grosseto, and offers a range of slides and rides from gentle toddler splash pools to more thrill-seeker level for older children.
From hiking, to horse riding, to watersports, to cultural heritage, children of all ages will learn so much from a visit to Tuscany: what could be more enchanting than a day of dolphin watching in the reserve known as Pelagos Sanctuary in Viareggio, followed by a meal in a local hilltop restaurant - offering sublime, flavoursome local specialities followed by wonderful gelato and cream filled pastry treats that the region is known for.
