The Best Family-Friendly Hotels in Tuscany
Arriving in Tuscany can feel like walking into a watercolor—the sun-dappled hills are so dense with hue, and the medieval architecture so in harmony with the natural surroundings. Add to this the fact that it harbors one of the world's most celebrated wine regions, as well as 43 Michelin-starred restaurants (the third-most in Italy in 2024), and it's not surprising it's considered a sensory playground for adults. Thankfully, it's also home to increasingly cutting-edge hotel kids clubs and a hugely family-centric culture in general, so the prestigious location can be enjoyed with babies, children, teens, and their less refined palates in tow, too.
From family campsites (such as hu Norcenni Girasole village), to smart villas (including the newly renovated Villa Il Santo), and even private islands (perhaps Forte San Giorgio and its 11 bedrooms and 10 bathrooms?)—there are plenty of accommodation options to choose from, however big your brood. Plus, tour companies such as Black Tomato are on hand to come up with multiple places and a broader Tuscan adventure. But for canny parents who like to make the most of room service, fully-staffed kitchens, and increasingly creative (free) childcare to maximize everyone's eating and exploring time while travelling as a pack, here's our pick of the best hotels in Tuscany for families.
