Booking a family villa in Tuscany is a great treat for your kids, as they can spend the break taking long walks in the countryside with you, dining out on pasta and pizza and splashing in the swimming pool. However, there are ways to spoil them even more. If you're planning to hire a Tuscany villa for your next family holiday, there are three adventures that are certain to stick in the minds of your little ones for many years to come. Read on to find out more. Take a balloon ride Tuscany is well known for its breathtaking countryside, endless olive groves, rolling green hills and meadows bursting with wildflowers. Perhaps the best way to admire this is with a hot air balloon ride. You can book a trip that will carry you over Chianti, the famous wine-growing region of Tuscany where vineyards stretch out for as far as the eye can see. This is a real adventure for children, as they will be able to look out for exciting sights in the distance, like medieval villages and ancient castes. Climb the Leaning Tower of Pisa Even if your little ones have never heard of Tuscany, they will most likely be familiar with one of its most famous attractions - the Leaning Tower of Pisa. Although the bell tower slants at an incredibly eye-catching angle, you can climb right to the top for unbeatable views across the city. There's plenty more to see here too, with the Torre Pendente, as it's known in Italy, just one-third of the Piazza dei Miracoli - or Square of Miracles - that is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and also includes the beautiful Duomo di Pisa and Battistero. Round off your day here in style by treating your family to a delicious traditional Italian pizza. See a medieval town Tuscany is peppered with more than its fair share of medieval towns and villages, including Lucca, San Gimingnano and Perugia. At these destinations, you can expect to explore ancient walls, tall towers and beautiful cathedrals. Campiglia Marittima is one that is certainly worth visiting for the day. The Palazzo Pretorio is the most famous site, and the torture chamber where prisoners were taken to be punished is certain to spark interest in your kids. Today, it is an archaeological centre where you can find out more about the history of the town and the surrounding area.
