Villatent at Camping Pian di Boccio

If you can drag your kids away from the poolside, there’s masses to do close by. Ask at reception for cycling routes through the quiet Umbrian countryside, or treat the kids to thrill rides and animal encounters at Città della Domenica theme park (45 minutes' drive). For cities packed with great art and architecture, head for Assisi (35 minutes) for its mighty basilicas and hilltop Rocca Maggiore castle, or elegant Perugia (45 minutes), where big names in Italian painting are exhibited in galleries. Closer to home, explore Bevagna’s (10 minutes) medieval streets before tucking into a mound of pasta in a cosy trattoria. If you're into your food and drink, you may like to sign up for a pizza-making class on site. Alternatively, you could take a cycling tour of Umbria’s vineyards or go tasting at olive mills.
