Frequently asked questions about our family-friendly villas

How can I verify if a villa pool is gated or fenced?

The villa description on our website should make it clear if the pool is gated or fenced. But if a fenced or gated pool is a non-negotiable for your family holiday, then do contact us to triple check. We certainly don’t want there to be any nasty surprises on arrival.

Can you supply extra baby and child equipment?

We can provide a cot and highchair at any of our family-friendly villas. Shutters often provide the perfect blackout blinds whilst many of our villas are also equipped with toys, games and child-friendly dinnerware. Most villas offer this equipment free of charge but there can be an additional fee so do check with us. Our free concierge service can also help provide any additional equipment you may require.

Can we arrange family-friendly activities like a private pizza chef?

We work with some fantastic local chefs who can run pizza and pasta making classes at your family-friendly villa rental. We also recommend gelato-making, pony trekking, truffle hunting, farm visits, boat trips, watersports lessons and much more.

Which region in Italy is best for travelling with very young children?

Each region of Italy offers something unique for families to enjoy. The Italian Lakes is perfect for waterbabies, whilst Tuscany and Umbria is ideal for nature lovers. We recommend beach lovers head to Puglia whilst Abruzzo is ideal for outdoor-loving families. And, of course, every Italian region is perfect for food-loving families.
