A holiday is not always synonymous with absolute relaxation when it comes to children and that is why today we will talk about how to organize a holiday in Maremma that is suitable for children; after all, it must be a holiday for them too, as well as for you.
Why can Maremma be an ideal destination for a family holiday?
The Maremma offers a healthy environment, rich in nature and adventures, with good genuine and nutritious food and attractions within everyone’s reach, young and old .
Starting from the place where you decide to stay, the best choice could fall on an estate surrounded by nature, where children can spend time running around the greenery, discovering animals, taking a nice dip in the pool or taking advantage of the dedicated areas equipped; an excellent alternative to technology without a doubt.
Where to go in Maremma with children?
What could be better during the summer than a nice dip in the sea or in the pool? if your children are water lovers, an interesting idea could be to let them spend a nice day in one of the water parks in the areas of Cecina and Follonica.
An excellent opportunity to have fun together with your children and your 4-legged friends!
The water parks allow access and use of the attractions to children of all ages: from 1 to 3 years, from 4 to 12 years, from 13 to 18 years.
Children and Nature
As an alternative to the swimming pool or the sea, there is the possibility of visiting splendid natural parks such as the WWF Oasis and the Uccellina Park.
The WWF Oasis, located in the Argentario area, more precisely in Orbetello, offers various itineraries: the first, the Bosco di Patanella path, is a path of about 1km surrounded by pine trees and lagoon.
During this route it is possible to observe animals such as egrets, herons, cormorants and flamingos but they are not … also curlews or fisherman marlin. Children will especially enjoy the observation huts that will make them feel like real explorers.
Continuing, we pass to the second path from where it will be possible to observe the pink flamingos, currently protected by the WWF.
A third path from Casale di Giannella, also home to the WWF, leads via another small path to visit the “butterfly garden” which shows the natural environments on the wetlands.
The Parco dell’Uccellina, also known as “Parco della Maremma”, overlooks the Tuscan Archipelago Park and the Tyrrhenian Sea with a completely hilly 25 km route up to the splendid sandy beaches.
The Park is surrounded by pine forests, marshes and fields full of crops, where Maremma horses are bred, hares and hedgehogs, foxes and badgers, porcupines and wild boars live as well as many varieties of birds.
In addition to a vast nature, the park also has numerous historical-artistic testimonies from various eras such as the Abbey of San Rabano, a Romanesque monastery founded in the 11th century by the Benedictines.
