  • Swimming in Sicily – Perfect for an off-season holiday with family, Sicily has a long swimming season with warm waters from May to October.

Outdoor adventure

For active families, Italy’s dramatic landscapes are ready to explore in every season, from Alpine peaks to rolling countryside.

  • Family ski holidays – Head to the Dolomites for long ski runs, guided ski safaris between mountain refugios, and excellent ski schools for children.
  • Cycling – Enjoy family-friendly routes for flat cycling and e-biking at Lake Garda or guided tours through Puglia’s country lanes.

Bring Italy’s legendary past to life with private tours and interactive experiences that make history exciting for children.

FAQs About Family Holidays to Italy

  • When's the best time to book a luxury family holiday to Italy?

    Our luxury family holiday resorts and experiences in Italy can get booked up quickly, so we recommend starting the process well in advance – a few months or even a year before you travel. The school holidays tend to be our busiest periods, so get in touch with plenty of notice if that's when you're looking to go.

  • When's the best time to visit Italy for a family holiday?

    Italy is well worth a visit in any season, but certain times may be more suitable for family holidays. For example, the temperatures can get extremely hot in summer, while the cities also tend to be at their busiest during this period. With that in mind, spring or autumn typically offer more comfortable conditions for both you and the little ones!
