Choosing your location and hotel, or holiday complex in Italy is a difficult decision, and our Italy travel experts are on hand to give you free advice. In the meantime we would like to make a few suggestions. These first three suggestions below are perfect for families looking for places with many facilities for the children, and where the children's needs are very high on the list of priorities. You'll often find a children's pool, plenty of space to roam and many options for sports, entertainment and activities. There is also a restaurant on site, making it convenient to eat together without having to leave the site to find restaurants when the children are hungry and tired. We recommend the following places to stay:
1] Ghiacci Vecchi, Campiglia Marittima, Tuscany
2] Residence Porto Letizia Lake Lugano, Lombardy
3] Residence Messapia, Santa Maria di Leuca, Apulia
Alternatively you can choose a "parent-friendly" holiday where the focus is on stylish and beautiful accommodation in a cosy setting with the possibility of some cultural stimulus and maybe even a bit of romance. You'll also find a restaurant, so that you can enjoy delicious culinary delights along with a good bottle of wine while the kids are safe and quietly asleep in their beds. The following suggestions have all that, but also can satisfy the needs of the children as you will find a pool, a playground, natural surroundings and sometimes even animals for the children to pet.
1] Camin Hotel, Colmegna, Lake Maggiore, Lombardy
2] Agriturismo Poggio Corbello, Massa Marittima, Tuscany
3] Azienda Agricola Barone Antonio Negri Gaiano di Fisciano, Campania
There are plenty of opportunities for fun excursions and eventful days in Italy. Among other things, you can find zoos, large aquariums, theme parks and nature's version of a playground in underground caves, botanical gardens and beaches. Here are a few of our recommendations:
1] The water park Cupolelido and Parco Safari delle Langhe, Piedmont
2] Aquarium in Genoa, Liguria
3] Equi Terme and Wind Cave, Tuscany
4] Gardaland, Lake Garda
5] Zoosafari and Fasanolandia, Apulia
