Kids
Best Suited For: All AgesChildren of all ages will delight in this charming, cosy home with its enchanting grounds.
The interiors are fully executed for relaxed family living, with open plan lounges and dining spaces, a a state of the art kitchen and all the modern conveniences, whilst the fairy tale glamour of the bedrooms will appeal to small imaginations!
The gardens and grounds will provide a safe and enclosed magical world of discovery and freedom to roam, to enjoy the novelty of meals outside and spend hours splashing in the pool.
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 Pinocchi and his adventures, with activities like literary itineraries, buildings and sculptures set amidst the greenery, art exhibitions and illustrations, puppet making work shops 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 in 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.
