Tuscan Dreams Family Holidays

Rejuvenation, relaxation and recreation – a formula guaranteed to work for anyone in these recession-ridden times. In these cold and stressful days it’s more important than ever to have something to look forward to and what better than a holiday with family and friends?

Tuscany, with its beautiful countryside and children-friendly culture, is the perfect destination for 2009.

A Tuscan farmhouse or villa offers the perfect opportunity to explore the area, truly relax and soak up some sunshine. Here are some ideas from Tuscan Dreams on the perfect family holiday in Tuscany.

Gambassi Apartments:

A family-friendly farmhouse with 16 different sized apartments, capable of accommodating groups from two to three people up to eight. Situated in a private estate, all the apartments have their own dedicated outside area with a table and chairs so everyone can enjoy the view with their meals.

A children's pool and dedicated play area keep the little ones amused, while a fishing lake (rods can be hired) provides some more contemplative recreation. A barbecue area by the lake also provides an alternative dinner venue.

Nature lovers will enjoy the birds and animals that live in the surrounding grounds, including deer and goats.

A day trip to the beach is just 45 minutes away and the town of San Gimignano, with its unusual attraction of a torture museum which never fails to enthral bloody thirsty children... http://www.tuscan-dreams.com/photos.asp?id=22

More Di Cuna Farmhouse

Despite being just ten minutes from the historic city of Siena, these farmhouse apartments boast fantastic views of the Tuscan countrywide.

A dedicated children’s play area and pool , a games room and tennis court means there is always plenty to do. http://www.tuscan-dreams.com/photos.asp?id=32

Villa Napoleone

For a holiday for the whole family this villa sleeps 22! Situated in private farmland, the Villa Napoleone is close to Siena but set in perfect picture postcard countryside. The villa has its own pool but there is plenty to do in and around the farm as well. There’s a petting farm for the children with donkeys, sheep, horses, goats, and the unique Siennese pigs - black pigs with a white stripe across their backs. Foodies will also appreciate the home produced olive oil and salami and ham.

Anyone wishing to venture further afield can catch the nearby 'Nature train' -an old steam engine that runs through the breathtaking countryside of the Val d'Orcia stopping along the way in picturesque Tuscan villages. Lunch is served on board and the trip, which must be booked in advance, makes for a perfect family outing. http://www.tuscan-dreams.com/photos.asp?id=58
