It goes without saying that a big family holiday is the ultimate bonding experience. You’ll wake up to breakfast together, quality time by the pool and, if you’re in Tuscany or Umbria, a whole host of immersive experiences.

That said, a holiday with very young children requires a meticulous plan. If you’re on a multigenerational adventure – sometimes spanning as many as four generations – there’s the question of accessibility and other practicalities.

Our handpicked selection of family villas keeps these practicalities in mind. For one, they’re equipped with child-friendly swimming pools and other baby-proof amenities. With our complimentary concierge on hand at all hours, parents can organise a babysitter alongside tailored family activities.

Find the perfect family villa

If you want a family villa within walking distance of a village, or a private tennis court villa, there’s plenty to choose from. Our portfolio of large villas in Tuscany includes villas for rent with in-villa chefs, cinema rooms or hot tubs, with golf courses nearby and much more.

Sartomare

One for big family gatherings, Sartomare is exceptionally family-friendly, offering rooms with bunk beds and plenty of space for all generations to relax and reconnect. Children will love the dedicated playroom, complete with table tennis and table football.

The villa’s pizza-making parties are always a hit with younger guests, while the private tennis court and soccer field keep everyone active. Active families can make the most of e-mountain biking, horse riding and hiking in the stunning Maremma and Monte Argentario countryside.

Venture outside to find a child-friendly swimming pool with a shallow beach entry for toddlers, and enjoy convivial family gatherings in the sun-kissed courtyard.
