The hilly country-side of Umbria and Tuscany is the ideal place for staying in shape. Walks in the bosco (forest), mountain biking, esploring the lake in the forest, doing yoga session guided by Marta or the yoga teacher if available, bird watching, mushroom and truffle hunting, cooking Italian meals, and survival lessons in the Italian language.

We know from first hand experience that it is stressful to travel with kids because they have drastically different agendas than we adults do. This can make it hard to fit in enough of the adult activities: After all, it is your vacation too isn't it! At “Il Cucciolo” we support parents who bring their kids on vacation in many ways.

We have a playground with swing and slide and sandbox; we have Friday night Pizza night; and Saturday Party Night with dancing and costumes, confetti and ballons.

We organize activities for the children if requested, such as treasure hunts, board games (Chess, Monopoli, Tombola...), card games (Uno, Uomo Nero among the others), guided walks in the forest to pick seasonal berries or fruits. We have books to read for every age in English and Italian as well as videos appropriate for children only or for the entire family.

SPORT ACTIVITIES:

• Walks in the forest.
• Riding the bicicles available in the farm.
• Yoga lessons or massages if the teacher is available (inquire in advance).
• Dog training.
• Horse riding in the close by facilities of San Pietro a Monte
• Fishing in the close by lakes or in the river (if the season is appropriate).
