Castelfalfi, in Tuscany, Italy, is a luxury resort for adults. But the property, home to a spa, golf courses and vineyards, also welcomes parents and families. Kids and teen clubs are standard at 4- and 5-star resorts aimed at family travelers. However, Castelfalfi takes things many steps further with its integrated program that provides adventures, classes and outdoor experiences that bring extra substance to the fun.

Older and active kids (and kids at heart) can take advantage of activities like horseback riding, mountain biking, golf and nature walks, ensuring every guest can take in the sensory bounty of the Tuscan countryside as they wish. The resort’s adventure park, meanwhile, has three different adventure trails, from an easygoing and simple route to more difficult ones with a suspended treetop village with Tibetan bridges, zip lines, jumping mats and challenging activities. Challenging experiences include survival experience, archery, falconry, fishing and release. History buffs of all ages will be delighted by tours to nearby historic towns (such as walled San Gimignano and Volterra) and cultural sites with educational and enriching elements.
Spacious villas and recently refurbished signature suites provide a variety of options for large groups or families planning a custom vacation at Castelfalfi. Better still, the resort’s eco-friendly practices provide several more teachable moments to all guests, especially kids and teens, about the importance of preserving the environment for future generations.

The Kids Club is located in the nearby village and occupies what used to be the local school. Programming is built upon a Montessori method base built into wide interior spaces designed for children in the area from 3 to 6 years old (offered free of charge to traveling families), with customizable multi-game tables and modular games for fun psychomotor activities. Another area dedicated to 6- to 12-year-olds (offered for a separate charge) offers multimedia games, a brick house and a kitchen to prepare traditional Tuscan recipes during cooking classes. Parents can enjoy quality “me time” with confidence as the schoolhouse and all age-appropriate activities are overseen by experienced staff.

Outside the school, a playground inspired by earth, water, fire and air houses a vegetable garden and an exclusive mini farm where kids learn the responsibilities of caring for rabbits, chickens and other animals. As farm-to-table gourmet dining is standard for adults, younger guests get the opportunity to expand their palates and acquire new tastes with Guess them All, a special blind-tasting class with a game that introduces them to five different aromas. It provides a yummy introduction to seasonal aromatic herbs and their distinctive nature. The resort’s restaurants also offer family-friendly menus featuring authentic Tuscan cuisine, ensuring an appreciation for regional Italian cuisine.

Oct 23, 2026The Flight Less Taken: Unsung Carriers Whisk You Away to Far-Flung Destinations
The miracle of flight feels slightly less miraculous these days. Endless delays, cramped seating and shortchanged amenities feel par for the course, and one can easily forget the wondrous fact that you’re hurtling above planet Earth, soaring above the clouds and across the skies to your destination of choice. In the olden days, you were limited to the fallibility of your outrigger canoe or horse-drawn carriage. It’s not hyperbolic to invoke the invention of the wheel when reminding oneself to stay calm and carry on in coach.

Oct 21, 2026Review: Bodysgallen Hall
The National Trust owns more than 500 historic buildings across the United Kingdom, each offering a vivid sense of its particular era. In common with many visitors, I often find myself wondering what it would be like to actually live in such a place. Imagine sitting, for instance, in one of those ancient oak-paneled drawing rooms at night, with the fire roaring and the wind rattling the ancient mullioned windows. I didn’t have to imagine it. Here I was, immersed in history in 17th-century Bodysgallen Hall in North Wales.

Oct 21, 2026How Safe Are Theme Park Rollercoasters? Should We Be More Wary?
No matter your age, we’ve all ventured to an amusement park at one point or another. Whether taking a trip solely to visit a theme park and ride rollercoasters or tacking on an extra day of a trip to enjoy some thrills at a nearby park, it’s nearly impossible to not enter an amusement park. But even the most adrenaline-seeking travelers are starting to pause after the Oct. 12 incident in which 42-year-old Hassan Jihad Ibn Kariem fell to his death while riding Goliath rollercoaster at Six Flags Over Georgia, a theme park outside of Atlanta. After the tragedy, Six Flags, the country’s largest theme park operator, closed 10 rides across seven states.
