Visiting Hill Towns in Tuscany and Umbria
Visiting medieval hill towns in these beautiful regions can be a dream vacation with kids; and there are ways to economize.
Orvieto - photos and tips
Orvieto is a medieval hill town in Umbria (and near Tuscany), that's delightful to visit: wander the lanes, and (surprise, in this small town) visit a giant cathedral that's one of Italy's finest.
Cortona, Tuscany, Italy
A wonderful "hill town" to visit in Tuscany.
Eurocamp
Stay in holiday homes, or canvas tents with real beds: enjoy swimming pools, kids programs, and a great opportunity to meet European families. Eurocamp's "holiday parcs" are a whole different concept in family vacation.
Italy Discovery Journal
A nice companion to a family trip to Italy: games, story-telling, treasure hunts for landmarks, and other activities encourage kids to learn about Italy from a kids-eye view. Order as an e-book to print out.
