Family activities in Tuscany.
The experience
How we
arrange it.
Not every hour is a tasting. For families especially, the estates that work best are the ones with something for the children and the restless: a morning of archery, a bee experience among the estate's hives, bushcraft in the wood, a climbing wall for the teenagers. Several of our partner estates run a full menu of them.
Castelfalfi is the clearest example: alongside its cooking class and wine tour, the estate offers archery, a bee experience, bushcraft and a climbing wall on its own grounds. For the coast, the beach clubs of the Versilia. Alpemare among them, are an easy day out from the northern estates. We line up the days that keep a multi-generational group happy without anyone having to drive far.
On the Estate
The best of these need no travel at all: archery, the bee experience, bushcraft and the climbing wall at Castelfalfi all run on the estate's own grounds, which is exactly what you want on the day no one can face the car. We confirm what each partner estate offers and book the slots before you arrive.
A Day at the Coast
When the group wants the sea, the Versilia beach clubs. Alpemare among them, are an easy day from the northern and Lucca-area estates, and the Argentario has quiet coves and day boats on the southern coast. For something more Tuscan still, we arrange horse riding, including riding out with the butteri, the Maremma's working cowboys, at several of our southern farms.
Where It Happens Best
The family villas earn their keep here: Villa Agresto's annex gives teenagers a wing of their own, Villa Stabbi adds a pool house for the long afternoons, and the Castelfalfi villas come with an adventure park and e-bikes already on the grounds. When the gathering itself is the point, see the occasions we host.
Build a week that works for different ages
Start with what the group enjoys, not a full diary of activities. A shared outing, time at the villa and an optional activity for older children often leave more room for everyone than a different excursion every day. Tell us the ages, interests and any accessibility needs before an activity is suggested.
Our family villa holiday guide covers the choice of villa and daily routines. If several households are travelling together, compare large villas by room distribution and shared space as well as total sleeping capacity.
Confirm access, supervision and alternatives
Activities offered by a particular estate are not automatically available to guests at another property. Confirm booking access, age or height restrictions, supervision, transport, equipment and the cost for participants and accompanying adults. Ask whether the activity runs on your dates and what happens if the weather changes.
For a quieter shared activity, consider a cooking class adapted to the ages in the group. Keep indoor alternatives available and avoid assuming a beach club, estate programme or pool will operate throughout the year.
