Fun for the kids on a family villa holiday in Italy
We have equipped the villa with a variety of elements that make it an ideal spot for Italy holidays with children; there is volleyball / badminton, swings, climbing frame and a slide, there are hammocks amongst the Vines and and shady areas for alfresco eating or playing, the big pool is large enough for the guests from each of the 4 apartments and its fantastic to see kids from different families making friends. Beyond the vines is the vegetable plot and we encourage families to pick their own organic fruit, nuts and vegetables.
Childrens indoor entertainment at our Italian farmhouse
There is a library of childrens DVDs, boxes full of games at the Italian villa, shelves full of books and wifi if they can't resist going online.

The local town of Sarnano is fully equipped for Italian family holidays and has a good childrens playground and crazy golf, plus football pitches and a tennis court, this page has some great ideas for other fun family days out in the local part of Marche region. If you can drag the children away from the villa and the pool, the local town of Sarnano has a good childrens playground and crazy golf, plus football pitches and a tennis court.
