Where to stay with kids in Italy

We loved the heated family pool which was a nice temperature and the kids splash park was great for our toddler! Be aware the big slides are for ages 5-10

We stayed for a week in October in a two bedroom family room which was perfect for our stay with two young children

The beach was a short walk through the forest with playground and hammocks on the way. The sunsets were incredible and so nice to enjoy a cocktail at the beach bar all inclusive

Imagine Centre Parcs in the sun, with a beautiful beach accessed through a wooded area, well tended grounds , numerous pools and activities galore. The air conditioning is noisy and ineffective

We thought the food was delicious at the main restaurant and the other restaurants and our daughter loved sitting at the kids table and buffet area which made it a lot more relaxed for us! We enjoyed a morning excursion to pizzo organised by the hotel

Excellent hotel, friendly staff. Excellent food and great choice. One suggestion, allocate a table for the duration of the holiday as we found it very busy at times with limited available tables

Superb daily breakfast followed by a trip to the very impressive spa for an hour or two of relaxation rounded off with a swim in the incredible pool (Olympic swimmers would be impressed at the length of it !) A special thank you to all the reception staff - Roberto, Leonardo, Francesco & Liliana

You were all very professional dealing with all our questions and queries. @ Liliana, you handled our small dental emergency extremely well, many thanks! In conclusion, we are already looking forward to our next visit

The buffet style breakfast with freshly squeezed juices to order and eggs as you want is such a treat for the start of the day, with a selection of every style of breakfast choice available

My wife and I stayed here for a total of 10 nights in October 25 (our stay was so amazing that we extended our initial 6 day stay for another 4 days)

What can I say, everything was absolutely fantastic from the location right on the beautiful beach to the opulent rooms and facilities

Larissa, Adrian, Sante were friendly and funny ( sorry don’t remember all the names ) but all staff at reception was great too. If you need nice relaxing time, I do recommend this hotel Mrs and Mr Pike Grazie Mille !

Fabulous holiday at this hotel Amazing location with spectacular views. Clean, basic room cleaned daily. Wonderful pools. Food was fine and value for money. We would definitely recommend this hotel.

Snacks avaliable in the lobby all day (cakes, crisp etc) Ice cream avaliable all day and ice lollys when the pool area was open. Food - overall it wasnt great, pizza and chips were avaliable every lunchtime

Hotel was is a great location, lots of parking avaliable. Rooms were dated but it was clean. Pools were good, never any issues getting a sun lounger, life guards at pools and lake

They were quite strict with no jumping into the pool allowed. Lots of sun loungers at the lake. Drinks although only a small selection of spirits were all self service

Fabulous stay very welcoming and great good and facilities .

We got a free upgrade to the villas on the beach ( there is 8 of these) which was a lovely surprise, as it was my daughters/son in laws 30 th birthdays and this also gave us access to the vip restaurant for breakfast (which costs €30 each ) We found that the staff were Friendly BUT couldn’t speak basic English so trying to ask questions were very difficult and frustrating

The resort is very close to the sea, about a 3-4 minute walk away. Unfortunately, the food leaves a bit to be desired in terms of quality and staff efficiency (perhaps because it's understaffed for the busy season)

The location is lovely, has great potential, and could be top-notch with some updates to the various accommodations, such as the wooden villas, which are very cute but in need of renovation due to their age

She's chosen excellent people who are meticulous in ensuring a top-notch holiday full of fun for the little ones with the mini club, where Elena and her group ensure maximum enjoyment for the kids

Angelo and all the other staff (Davide, Edoardo, etc. ) are super efficient in organizing games and events for young and old, leaving nothing to chance

We'll definitely be back because the best thing they offer is the entertainment provided by the SAMARCANDA staff, managed by Federica

We stayed at the resort the first two weeks of August

Very nice modernized hotel with beach access across. Wonderful to spend time with family and kids as they have kids entertainment

Apparently there was an animation for the kids but at the time we were there it was rarher poorely organized, safe for one evening with the Magic Show. Otherwise my kid was disapointed

Family rooms quite small and have no balcony which is a bit anoying when you come back from the beach and there is no place to hang a wet towel or swimming suit

The best in this hotel is surely the location. Directly at the beach with the sun beds included. They also have a nice garden with the pool

I would like to express our endless gratitude to Yuliya who was extremely helpful from the moment I emailed the hotel with booking request till the last day of our stay

Popped in today for nostalgic drink. We stayed at the hotel 43 years ago and just wanted to see if it had changed much. Surprisingly no one recognised us.🤣

Swimming pool is great although a bit cold when you first get in. Outside areas are very pleasant and there was never any shortage of sunbeds. Everywhere was nice and clean and rooms well serviced each day

Lovely hotel, great beach, lovely pools, great seating outside all very comfortable, lovely views over Torre Canne lighthouse

We happy to chose this place. We had a car and travelled from hotel to different places. Very good relax close to the beach and pool area.

He could have done so much better with the ingredients - no imagination - lots of glutinous, flavourless sauces on pasta dishes could have been so easily improved with seasoning and herbs and some imagination

What a fabulous hotel, stayed on a Newmarket holiday tour, extremely well maintained in every way, pool excellent, bars excellent, outside pizza restaurant excellent, inside restaurant excellent, the staff are so friendly nothing is to much trouble , the cleanliness is brilliant, we had a sea view room with balcony which we could see the sun rise and set from, beach just a stones throw away is very...

The hotel snack bar serves the most amazing pizzas overlooking the sea. Drink prices were very reasonable and the pool and beach area were kept immaculate. You can walk along the beach to the small village of Torre Canne

• If you’re looking for entertainment, you might want to consider a different hotel. There are no events, shows, or animations during the day or evening. • The buffet has a very limited selection for children

Be sure to double-check during booking if drinks are truly included. • The pool bar is also not included in the price — everything there is charged additionally

On the rare occasion when chicken nuggets were available, they ran out quickly and were not restocked. • We didn’t receive the room we originally booked and paid extra for

Front desk staff amazing very accommodating and helpful. Thank you

Title: Disappointed Compared to My First Visit This was my second stay at this hotel, and unfortunately, a lot has changed since my previous visit

On the negative side, check-in was slow with no additional information, like where breakfast would be, or discounted pricing for the beaches, or information about the facilities (we realized only after a few days that the hotel has a big swimming pool area at the back)

Flawless experience as always - great food for both lunch and dinner, very friendly service at the restaurant and at the hotel in general, and great facilities: the large pool and the optimally positioned beach umbrellas make for a very relaxing vacation spot

A wonderful place with great, tasty food, clean and comfortable rooms, and a big pool. The friendly and caring staff create a positive atmosphere that make you feel like you are the only one.

I came during rainy days but will definitely come back with my family in the summer as the beach is close by and very tempting. Food is outstanding and every night they have a new menu with a great atmosphere

5 stars for 4 nice stuff nice pool rooms … they could have been nicer breakfast ok very friendly

Elegant hotel with romantic ambience situated in a beautiful pine tree park. Great food with modern touch, comfortable rooms, wonderful swimming pool area, green and quiet. Friendly and helpful hotel staff

Very friendly receptionist, beautiful surroundings with swimming pool. A really good place to relax in the off-season.

The staff is very friendly and helpful. Everything was so clean and the apartment are very equipped. The views are amazing and the beach is very nice to stay at

The beach bar is very nice and we also used their free kayak services

Rooms Ok, but would need an upgrade, staff helpfull, breakfast nothing extra. Good 3 star hotel close to beach.

We came here for dinner expecting a decent amount of food options, especially since this restaurant is attached to a hotel. A sign at the entrance advised that after 07 September no Pizza is available

Great location, great service, excellent rooms, loved the whole experience and would definitely recommend it to anyone!

With no other options in the area we had a rather pricey meal and mediocre service

Very lovely spot, away from the center and beach hotel strip/umbrella land. Excellent staff, great breakfast. Never used the pool or spa, but I'm sure they are nice too

La nostra vakanza nel vostro Hotel era meraviliosa! Specialmente grazie mille Ramona e Michele per il vostro perfetto lavoro! 👏🏼👏🏼 Sehr gute Service 👌🏼 Ich habe auch professionelle Massage versucht👍🏻 Meine Tochter hatte viel Spaß mit der Gruppe von Animatoren! The restaurant deserves special compliments - Italians are real gourmets, every day there was a menu waiting for us where we could choose 1...

It was a nice stay, but the room was small, and I had to walk through a dark hallway inside the building to get there. I believe they should keep the lights on in those areas at all times. Good breakfast.

Spent the morning supervising our high school students at the school assembly. Clean bathroom facilities, has elevator and cloak room too. Unfortunately no food or drinks are available on the site

It's a wonderfull hotel, I've been there for some meeting and everything was more than perfect.

I had a really nice stay here. The spa is great and the ocean is right outside. Loved it!

We received the most heartwarming hand-written thank you note from the entire hotel staff. Such gestures make you realize what true hospitality looks like, and we couldn't be more grateful for their kind words

This hotel really exceeded my expectations, thank you again to the whole team ! The Room: we had a double bedroom with a small garden, it was excellent

And it's this small charming bay where children feel good and parents don't have to worry because it's not a huge long beach. Perfect holiday, looking forward to coming back !

Also, the rumor is true, Italians love children. I was actually looking forward to seeing the team for every meal

The food was excellent, prepared according to italian traditions (as far as I know ;-) and most of all: prepared with love and passion. That's something I can feel when I eat

The beds are comfortable and you get a set of 2 pillows (one thicker, the other one thinner) for all your needs. I had my own pillow with me, I ended up not using it

We went as a family of 4 and got 2 rooms. The breakfast was really good and the staff were very friendly and welcoming.we would definitely come back.

The hotel is absolutely fabulous. Right on the beach but it also has a beautiful swimming pool. The room is refreshed every day

The pool isn't regulated and a few days has been marred by ball throwing, shouting, kids left unattended (were talking toddlers!!) Luckily a few of the dads stepped in to sort that out but it's not their responsibility

Very well positioned hotel,on the beach,very clean,good drinks ,good breakfast but the lunch is not an option,very poor quality for the money!You have to pay for the sunbeds at the pool.

Our last day has been negative due to one of the elderly reception staff. I had been asking for late check out all week. She just told me no without checking, very rude and unhelpful. Im here with a child until 17

30 and have been told to use the communal shower where there is no air con by the pool! She also charged us to use the towels despite them being included in our stay

Nicely located, cozy hotel, not too big, on a beautiful resort. Sun lovers can choose between the beach 50 meters away and a large swimming pool, see photos. I stayed for a week on a bed and breakfast basis

The breakfast was very poorish, only basic things, the area where the hotel served the breakfast could have been nice with a but messy. Only old-fashioned jazz was played all day in the pool area

Location of single rooms right next to lifts, therefore guest movement, children screaming, running along corridor made for a very restless stay

You can rent a bicycle and car through the hotel, Miss Frederica next to the reception knows all about this! You can also book many excursions there. Staff was very friendly and hospitable

The hotel is located about 5 km from the center, which you can walk if you wish - first 500m along a road, the rest along the beach boulevard with many beach bars

Really nice staff at reception. Beach beautiful, and hotel in beautiful spot. No restaurants, bars or options within walking distance, so you have to eat at the hotel if your not wanting to drive 10 minutes to Gallipoli

Sadly we weren't there long enough to enjoy all the facilities, like the patio and pool area, or make use of the huge beach just over the road, but we would not hesitate to go back for a longer stay

Excellent hotel, superb food for a hotel, lovely warm people, nice bedrooms with large beds, and good English spoken. Close to the beach, 3 golf courses and some excellent restaurants in the old town

The dining room and food offering for both dinner and breakfast was excellent, so much choice including fresh pasta dishes made to order

The hotel was absolutely fantastic, incredibly welcoming to cyclists, great bike storage/garage support, superb food catering for many hours of cycling over the week

We had a one night stay here before a cruise. The hotel staff were excellent, friendly and couldn't do enough to help

A lovely hotel, room was great, one minor downside was that there weren't many power outlets for devices and electricals. The bathroom was huge with a fantastic shower and toiletries

Adlon hotel is excelent for families with children

Well worth purchasing the breakfast and dinners, food was very nice, lots of choice and fresh fruit, salad, vegetables, bread, cheese and meats included. Staff went out of their way to make us feel welcome

Excelent location, the services are first class and the food is wonderful, really wonderful. The staff is really professional, especially Anna Maria. We have been here three times and we plan to return

A really friendly and accommodating team! Everyone was super friendly, at reception, at the bar and also the cleaning team. The cleaning team cleaned extremely quickly and cleanly

The breakfast was fine, it was the same every day. The only thing to complain about was that you only get one pillow, which was quite thin and flat

The rooms are also a bit thin and you can hear people talking on the balcony. Otherwise a really great hotel with a perfect location!

Das Frühstück kann bei schönem Wetter auf der Terrasse vor dem Pool eingenommen werden: das Angebot an Speisen und Getränke lässt keinen Wunsch offen. Das Bedienungspersonal ist äußerst freundlich, aufmerksam und flink

They were super child friendly and our daughter had a great time. Sadly Spa was super expensive - but we made good use of the pools

HOTEL GARTENSEA CAORLE Wir haben dieses Jahr unseren Familienurlaub in Caorle verbracht. Die Hotelwahl fiel auf das GARDENSEA, wie sich herausstellte: eine ausgezeichnete Wahl

Das Salatbüffet ist reichlich ausgestattet. Die Poollandschaft ist sehr schön, mit einem großen Pool, Kinderbecken und Whirlpool (siehe Bilder) in eine grüne Umgebung eingebettet und täglich sorgfältig gepflegt

Abends wird das Abendessen im Restaurant eingenommen. Die Weinkarte ist sehr umfangreich, eine Reise durch alle guten Weingegenden Italiens. Die Küche als sehr gut zu bezeichnen wäre nicht angemessen, sie ist vorzüglich

Interessant für E-PKW Fahrer, eine Ladesäule ist vorhanden und wir konnten bei der Ankunft und vor der Abfahrt die Batterie vollladen. Fazit: wir sind zum ersten Mal dort gewesen, aber sicherlich nicht zum letzten Mal

Staff very kind and professional they let us park our bikes in their garage. The hotel very close to the beach and few minutes from the old town. It was really nice stay we can recommend it!

We had a 5 night stay in March. Great 1st floor room with terrace. Self service breakfast buffet with a wide choice of sweet and savoury dishes. Only negative point was the toaster

We had lovely experience to stay in this hotel during our trip along the Adriatic coast. The room was super clean and modern with comfortable bed which important for us

The room was very comfortable and clean. They have a nice elegant room fridge Vitrifrigo Italian made locally and room service was clean and organized

Very charming vintage hotel with modern updates. Staff was very friendly and helpful. This will be my preferred hotel in Pesaro from now on

Almost beachfront in Italy Nice and clean, close to beach and service, walkingdistance to railwaystation. Nice breakfast,

The pools were clean and warm, never crowded and despite the hotel being apparently nearly full there was never any difficulty getting sunbeds

Lots of greenery, 2 swimming pools, free barking, good service, good size room, comfortable bed, good toilet and shower. Nice balcony, efficient A/C and refrigerator. Staff are wonderful and helpful

Swimming pools were too cold, no good dining options but many good restaurants around. No expresso machine in room, no ironing in room. In room Safe box charged 2 euros per day!!!

Agata our maid was fantastic! The nicest lady I've ever met, cleaned our room daily, changing towels, fresh toiletries, helped me get mozzi spray when local supermarket sold out! Dario on reception was also wonderful, so helpful giving us map to tour area, very professional, friendly, always welcoming

Lovely room overlooking beautiful gardens, friendly helpful staff, excellent breakfast, we were only bed and breakfast, as there are lots of restaurants, within walking distance of the hotel, convenient supermarket just 200 yards from the hotel, plenty of sunbeds conveniently spaced, buffet type dinner, very good, but we only ate there a couple of times

We stayed 10 nights in this magnificent 4-star hotel. But what made our stay 5-star was the kindness, helpfulness and fantastic smile of Dario, who was always ready to make us feel at home

In addition, there are a few little repairs that are required too (swimming pool toilet door lock is totally broken) However, these things didnt affect out total enjoyment and hopefully, we will make it six years in a row in 2025!!

What a great family owned hotel. Beach is immaculate with silky sand. Rooms are small but spotless. Most rooms in Italian hotels are small though. Staff in the restaurant are so hard working and so efficient

Friendly family type hotel Helpful staff Wonderful Buffet breakfast Only criticism is having to pay for beach towels … minimal amount but would rather be on the bill and given to you when needed

Swimming pool is heated too. One area for improvement are the uncomfortable sunbeds on the beach. Thanks for a great stay Aurelia

The personal touches offered by all the staff makes any stay at the Aurelia very special and Mrs Batani and her staff are brilliant Hoteliers. The beach is spotless and it’s a very accommodating experience all round

The hotel is terrific and the staff are excellent. The food is fabulous, and the restaurant staff are incredibly attentive. The beach is spotless and cleaned every evening. Great venue for families or couples.

In hotel Feldber was everything excelent. We had here extended weekend with children - i was first week of April. Hot pool with 35 degrees makes our holiday really great

My family and I had a wonderful stay at hotel feldberg. The hotel was the most child friendly we've ever stayed it by far

Staff was so friendly and good with our kids at meal times, restaurant tables had pencils and paper with kids characters set up every meal for our young kids, we had a travel cot in the room set up for us on arrival and a single bed for my older child with a bed rail provided by the hotel

The evening menue was divers, we loved every dish, very tasty. Breakfast also great, eggs, bacon, fruits , yogurts, good coffee. The pool was very clean, heated to 30 degrees

My children and I stayed a week at this wonderful Hotel

A special thanks to Flavio for the beautiful Italian songs he sang during dinner — it made the evening truly special. We felt so at home and can’t wait to come back. Arrivederci! – Rita from Australia
