Travel Advice & Information
With its child friendly cuisine (pizza, pasta, gelato – we could go on…), short flight times, and beach studded coast, Italy is a great spot for a luxury family holiday. Not only does the country have a rich mix of historical and cultural sights and an endless variety of outdoor activities, but the resident Italians are known to love children, so you can expect a warm welcome. You'll be spoilt for choice when it comes to picking where to visit in this beautiful country. For natural highs, the Dolomite mountains are the place to go for a family hike, or head to Tuscany, renowned for its diverse natural landscape. If you're after beaches, Puglia delivers, with miles upon miles of Mediterranean coastline where you can easily entertain the kids with swimming and sandcastles. Inject some culture into your holiday with a scenic Sicilian road trip and a visit to Rome, the country's vibrant, cosmopolitan capital with incomparable ancient ruins and art galore. And if you're really looking to wow the kids, take them to Venice, a city that has swapped roads for canals and cars for gondolas.
For hotels, take your pick from one of our top family-friendly spots across this beautiful country, from cosy villas to luxe resorts. Thrill the youngsters with kids clubs, family pools and children's restaurants, and for the parents (yes, you're allowed to have fun too) there are a number of hotels that deliver. One, an elegant resort in a quaint fishing village, comes with a nine-hole golf course, private beach club and luxurious spa. Another, in Sicily, boasts an impressive six tennis courts, swimming pool, relaxing spa, and one of the Mediterranean's best kids clubs.
