This summer we went to Emilia-Romagna in the North of Italy for our family holiday. Before we went to the region I hadn’t realised that it’s home to a wide range of family attractions. While we were there we went to three different water parks: Aquafan, Atlantica and Mirabilandia Beach. Mirabilandia and Mirabilandia Beach Mirabilandia Beach […]
Great places to stay in Emilia-Romagna
I loved our summer trip to Emilia-Romagna in the North of Italy. I was with my husband and our two kids (16 and 12 years old at the time) and we were there for a family holiday. We love Italy and have travelled there widely but we’d never been to this region before. Emilia-Romagna lies between […]
Aquafan water park, Italy
This summer we went to Emilia-Romagna in northern Italy for our family holiday. It was very hot and we were pleased to have the chance to check out three water parks while we were staying on the Adriatic coast. The first water park which we visited was Atlantica, the second was Mirabilandia Beach and the […]
How to visit Parma
How ever many times that I go to Italy there are always wonderful places to be visited for the first time. One such place is Parma, where we spent the first couple of days of our family summer holiday. Parma is in Emilia-Romagna in the North of Italy and is one of the country’s wealthiest cities. […]
Atlantica water park, Cesenatico
This summer we went to the Emilia-Romagna region of Northern Italy for our family holiday. We (me, my husband and our daughter,17 and son,12) stayed in a few different places and we spent a week at Hotel Tiffany in the seaside town of Cesenatico. It was exceedingly hot while we were there (the temperature was […]
Room report: Hotel Tiffany, Cesenatico
Hotel Tiffany must be one of the most family-friendly hotels that I’ve ever stayed in. The family-run hotel is on the Adriatic coast of Emilia-Romagna in the North of Italy and I spent a week there with my husband and children (17 and 12 years old) while we were in the region this summer. While […]
Next trip: Emilia-Romagna, Italy
This summer we (my husband, 16 year-old daughter, 12 year-old son and I) are heading to Italy for our family trip – again. We’ve been to Italy for our family holidays more times than we’ve been to any other country. There are many reasons why we go there so often – I’ve written about them […]
Villa Pia, Umbria, Italy
Villa Pia looks wonderful. It’s a 15th century manor house in the Umbrian village of Lippiano, Italy, where you can stay with your children. Villa Pia offers all-inclusive luxury family holidays in child-friendly accommodation. I’ve been asked to write about Villa Pia and the more that I research and read about it the more I wish […]
What to eat in Sicily
One of the best things about Sicily is the amazing and diverse food on offer there. Sicily has been occupied by many different powers over the centuries and the influence of these various cultures can still be seen in kitchens, food markets and restaurants today. Here are some of the things which my family enjoyed trying when we went to […]
How to drive in Sicily
It’s possible that I’m not fully qualified to write this post because I’ve never actually driven in Sicily. I’ve been driven in Sicily a lot though, most recently by my husband on our family holiday there this summer. We stayed in four different places, explored the Baroque towns in the south of Sicily and had a […]
