Tailor-made entertainment for young and old 

To organise a family holiday you have to compromise on everyone’s wishes and needs. From the little ones, who want to have fun and enjoy age-appropriate activities, to the adults, who are looking for some relaxation and a chance to recharge their batteries. 

Then, some want to do sports, take a hike in nature, laze by the pool or explore the tourist attractions of the destination. So, it’s essential to choose the hotel best suited to the needs and tastes of the young and old by selecting a facility with various services for a perfect family holiday. Here are three different options for a fun seaside holiday, from the Adriatic to the Ionian coast via the Tyrrhenian. 

A holiday in Versilia for the whole family 

Versilia Lido | UNA Esperienze, an elegant 4-star hotel located on the Camaiore seafront welcomes summer by surprising its guests with new and exclusive services designed to meet the expectations of a family holiday.

The facility is designed for adults and children alike, providing guests with different solutions. Among this year's main additions are the outdoor playground where children can have fun in the open air, the Baby Club (indoor and outdoor) for a thoroughly engaging experience, and the bespoke babysitting service. 

That's not all, we know that catering for children also involves providing the right food. The hotel offers special snacks and dedicated menus prepared with genuine local ingredients, as well as buffet tables positioned at child height. 

The cuisine on offer also looks to adults, who can choose between a poolside lunch at the Versilia Pool Bar & Restaurant by ‘UNA cucina’ or a garden dinner at the Versilia Garden Bar & Restaurant by ‘UNA cucina’.

And then there's the crowning jewel, the terrace of the Versilia Roof Bar & Restaurant by 'UNA cucina', where you can delight your palate with freshly grilled meat or fish, surrounded by the evocative beauty of the Golfo dei Poeti. 

Another interesting new addition for the 2024 season is the brand new padel court, open daily until sunset for those who don’t want to forfeit exercise on holiday. Those wanting to relax can take a dip in the outdoor pool, treat themselves to an afternoon at the wellness centre or ride on the electric bicycles provided by the hotel. 

Family fun on the Marche coast

UNAWAY Imperial Beach Hotel Fano is the ideal hotel for families who want to spend a holiday on the Adriatic coast – fun and relaxation are guaranteed in and around Marotta.

The hotel also has a swimming pool located in a large, sheltered park of 4,000 hectares, ideal for relaxing in the shade of flowers and palm trees, and offers free bicycles for exploring the coastline with the whole family.

In addition, there is a renowned restaurant where you can enjoy regional and Italian cuisine, and two bars, ideal for children's snacks and aperitifs with a garden view. 

A family resort in Giardini Naxos

The resort - with no less than 189 hotel rooms and 448 rooms available in comfortable villas - is located directly on its own private beach, inviting guests to enjoy the beautiful Sicilian sea. Its seafront location and its natural park with plants, flowers, and olive and citrus groves make it ideal for a regenerating holiday for young and old in touch with nature.
