Slow Tuscany with two under six
Val d'Orcia, Italy Late June
Why this trip works
A gentle base-camp trip from a farmhouse near Pienza. Pool mornings, pasta lessons the kids can join, and only one big-drive day.
Honest tips from Maya
- Agriturismo Il Rigo — book the family suite, not the cottages
- Pasta class at La Bandita for ages 4+
- Skip Florence day trip — too much for little kids
