The best Tuscany agriturismo for families: 15 farm stays you and your kids will love (2024 edition)

A handpicked selection to help you pick the best Tuscany agriturismo for families with kids: tried and tested farm stays in Tuscany perfect for kids and grownups.

A stay in an Italian farmhouse (agriturismo) is one of the best ways to enjoy Tuscany with kids.

An agriturismo is a traditional farmhouse repurposed to welcome guests.

They do so in many guises: some operate as a B&B, some have self-catering apartments, some have a restaurant on-site, some offer activities and some allow you to just sit back and relax.

The hosts are sometimes very present and sometimes very discreet and the facilities can be anything from rustic and simple to very luxurious.

A little bit like hotels, agriturismo covers all parts of the spectrum for style and price. However, they all tend to have something in common: the rural location and a strong link with the territory.

Agriturismo or agriturismi (plural) are typical of central Italy and they are the perfect place if you want the freedom and space of a villa and the comforts of having your host on-site.

Finding a family-friendly agriturismo in Tuscany is easy if all you want is a beautiful setting.

However, the choice is so vast that it becomes quickly overwhelming and it is not always easy to identify which structures are welcoming to kids.

I know this from my own experience but also from that of the lovely members of my Facebook Group ‘Travel Italy with kids’ (which you are welcome to join – see below)!

In the group, the request for recommended agriturismo in Tuscany for families with kids comes up often and the advice also is plentiful!

Before I wrote about what to look for when choosing an agriturismo.

In this guide, you find the selection of the best ones recommended so far.

This list is based on first-hand experience of each Agriturismo by real families who stayed there with their kids, including my own family travels of course!

For each, I have included a link to booking.com so you can check prices/facilities/book on a well laid out, English language site, something smaller agriturismo do not always have.

If you want even more help or you have any questions, please in my FREE Facebook group about traveling to Italy with kids: I will be happy to have you there and the tips from me and the other members are FREE!
