Tuscany is a perfect destination for families… if you choose the right place to stay. Space, safety, freedom for children, and relaxation for parents: at Borgo La Casaccia you’ll find all of this—without stress and without compromises.

Dreaming of a family vacation in Tuscany with kids? Here’s how to make it perfect (and relaxing for everyone)

Let’s be honest from the start:
Tuscany is not a theme park.
And that’s exactly why it works so well with children.

Nature, open spaces, slower rhythms, and simple, delicious food.
The secret is choosing a family-friendly base, avoiding crowded hotels, tiny rooms, and chaotic cities.

And that’s where Borgo La Casaccia comes in.

Why is Borgo La Casaccia truly family-friendly?

We’re not saying this for marketing.
We’re saying it because for years we’ve hosted families with children of all ages—from newborns to teenagers.
And we know what really matters.

Spacious Apartments: Comfort and Independence for Everyone

Forget the typical hotel room.
At Borgo La Casaccia you stay in real, independent apartments, with:

one or more bedrooms
living room
fully equipped kitchen
private bathroom
outdoor space (garden or terrace, depending on the apartment)

This means:

kids can sleep while you’re still awake
you can cook something simple if you don’t feel like going out
no stress about schedules or tight spaces

Two Pools for Every Age: Safe Fun for Little Ones

One of Borgo La Casaccia’s strengths is simple and concrete:
we have two swimming pools.

one large pool, for adults and teenagers
one smaller pool, with a shallow depth (starting from about 50 cm), ideal for children

No water slides, no loud entertainment.
Just space, safety, and freedom, with parents always within sight.

Important: the pools are not supervised by a lifeguard, so parental supervision is required (as in any serious agriturismo).

A Big Garden to Play: Space to Run and Have Fun

Here, kids do something that’s becoming increasingly rare:
they really play outdoors.

At the Borgo you’ll find:

a large garden surrounded by nature
a playground area with swings, a slide, and a playhouse
table tennis and table football
plenty of space to run around

The result?
Tired kids in the evening = relaxed parents.

A Strategic Location: Close to Everything, Far from the Chaos

Montaione is a smart choice for families. You are:

less than 1 hour from Florence, Pisa, and Siena
close to small villages that are easy to visit without stress
far from crowds and big-city traffic

This allows:

short day trips (no hours in the car with restless kids)
returning to the Borgo in the afternoon for the pool and relaxation

Practical Tips to Organize Your Family Vacation

Less planning, more flexibility.
Here’s what we truly recommend to families:

alternate sightseeing days with “empty” days
go out early in the morning, come back in the afternoon
don’t try to see “everything”
leave room for the unexpected (often the best part)

Tuscany with kids works when it doesn’t become a marathon.

What to Pack for Kids (Useful Checklist)

Here’s a practical list, based on real guest experience:

Essentials

hat/cap
sunscreen
comfortable shoes
swimsuit + flip-flops
light sweatshirt (evening)

Useful

small backpack for short trips
reusable water bottle
small games for the evening
