Pini Family Camping Village

If you’ve even a teeny interest in history and/or art, you’d do well to make the 15-minute drive up to Ravenna (or take the bus for 25 minutes). The town (once the seat of the Roman empire) has a mighty eight UNESCO-listed historic sites, including well-preserved chapels and gorgeous colourful mosaics. Just outside Ravenna is the Mirabilandia amusement park, a fab family park with all sorts of shows and rides ranging from pulse-quickening freefall rides to soft play areas for the small sorts. On hot days, head to neighbouring Mirabeach for hours of splashing fun with the waterslides and water play areas. A 10-minute drive down the coast takes you to the Po Delta Park, a fab place for walks, bike rides, canoe trips and birdwatching. Wander freely under your own steam or have a chat with site staff for details of the trips they organise regularly.
