Al Gelso Bianco – Alloro

Al Gelso Bianco, with its stylish family-friendly apartments, is a real find for parents hoping to combine some impressive Italian sightseeing with a relaxing holiday with kids.

This child-friendly rural estate and winery is nestled amongst rolling Tuscan countryside overlooking the ancient and super picturesque village of San Gimiganano, which is famed for its 13th and 14th-century architecture. Families can flit between lazy days, unwinding by the pool, and culture-filled day trips, since the beautiful cities of Florence (35km) and Siena (40km) are an easy drive away.

But what really drew Baby-Friendly Boltholes to Al Gelso Bianco was its genuinely family-friendly approach. Despite being a vineyard and home to some seriously delicious wine, it puts mini guests at the forefront with an array of inclusive baby gear, toddler equipment, play facilities, and more. Little ones will love dipping in and out of the swimming pool, meeting the friendly onsite animals, and burning off some energy at the brand-new playground. They could even pick up a new skill, as there’s a choice of cookery classes available, including the chance to make homemade pasta which is always a big hit with kids.

Parents are equally well catered for. The warm welcome is just as effective as the estate’s Chianti in putting stressed-out adults instantly at ease, whilst the combined scenery, gym, optional breakfasts, visiting spa therapist, cookery classes, and babysitting service all help ensure parents have a relaxing and memorable holiday in the Tuscan hills. And did we mention the Chianti?
