Time with family is celebrated in Italy, in fact almost every activity here is kid friendly. Each restaurant in the region offers a kid’s menu and none raises an eyebrow when toddlers make an entrance in a Michelin starred spot. Possible activities include hiking, cycling and wine tasting – your local concierge can help you hire bicycles, cars and meals at the nearby restaurants. Several close-by restaurants and trattorias serve organic, local cuisine. We recommend the local Le Boscarecce in the hearth of Tuscany, situated on a panoramic hill, designed for rest and enjoyment away from everyday stress, the local Torricella or the Osteria del Tempo Perso, or the very popular Focolare, all in the nearby Montespertoli.

Blessed with beauty, wine and an unparalleled artistic legacy, it is famous for its hills outlined by endless rows of cypress trees, majestic castles, thermal spa towns, tiny medieval villages surrounded by olive groves: this is an idyllic valley with gorgeous emerald green and a medieval past originating from the Via Francigena, a pilgrimage road that connected Rome to northern Italy and beyond.
