Arezzo
The genius of Il Borro, a 2,000-acre country estate just a few miles from Arezzo, is that you can physically contain your kids without containing their enthusiasm. Owned by the famous Ferragamos, who redeveloped this vast Arno Valley lot to use as a family retreat, Il Borro includes farm land, complete with orchards, olive groves, sunflower fields, and vineyards; wilderness areas for mountain biking, horseback riding, and fishing; and an entire medieval village of shops, rentable apartments, and holiday homes.
While you're sipping the latest vintage from the Borro's cantina, your kids can play in the swimming pool or on the full-size soccer pitch. Resident artisans provide a full roster of courses, such as ceramic making, wood-turning, painting, and cooking, so your family has plenty of opportunities to spend some quality time together. But, should you wish to venture out to Arezzo's antique market or to the Prada outlet in Montevarchi senza bambini , you can call in one of Il Borro's team of babysitters.
Il Borro — 3 bedroom apartments start at €350 (or $475)
