7 Reasons To Choose Us This Season.
Planning a family holiday that keeps both children and parents happy isn’t always easy. At Umbria With Kids, we’ve created something a little different — a place where children can play freely, make friends, and have adventures, while parents truly relax and unwind. Here are 7 key reasons why families return to us year after year:
1. Designed Just For Families With Children.
Everything at www.UmbriaWithKids.net / Pian di Cascina has been carefully thought through with families in mind. Pian di Cascina is a lovingly converted 17th century farmstead set in 20 acres of private land, where children have the freedom to explore safely while enjoying a large swimming pool, toddler splash pool, playground, zip wire, ride-on toys, and many more on-site activities and plenty of space to run around. It’s a rare kind of freedom that’s hard to find elsewhere.
2. A Beautiful, Unspoilt Setting.
Nestled in the rolling Umbrian countryside, our villas offer breathtaking views and a peaceful, natural environment. Children quickly make friends and spend their days outdoors, while parents can sit back, soak up the scenery, and enjoy a slower pace of life.
3. All the Charm of Tuscany, Without the Crowds.
Umbria is often described as Tuscany’s quieter neighbour — and with good reason. You’ll find stunning landscapes, historic hilltop towns, and incredible food, but without the crowds, queues, and high prices. It’s a more authentic Italian experience, where you can explore at your own pace rather than feeling the pressure to rush around and “tick off” tourist hotspots.
4. Far From The Madding Crowd.
Forget high-rise hotels, busy roads, and packed tourist attractions. Here, you’re surrounded by nature: the sounds of birdsong, the scent of wild herbs, and panoramic countryside views. It’s a place to truly switch off, recharge, and enjoy quality family time away from the hustle and bustle.
5. Flexible Arrival & Departures
We know family life doesn’t always fit neatly into Saturday-to-Saturday schedules. That’s why we offer flexible arrival and departure days throughout the week (subject to a 4-night minimum stay for most villas), giving you more choice and often access to better flight options.
6. Easier Travel Than You Might Think
Getting here is surprisingly simple. While several of the larger Italian airports such as Rome, Bologna and Florence are within striking distance, direct flights operate from several UK and European airports — including London Heathrow, Gatwick & Stansted, Manchester, Amsterdam, Brussels, Cologne/Bonn, Munich, Düsseldorf, Kraków, Warsaw, Katowice, Wroclaw, Budapest. Prague, Vienna, — into nearby airports such as Perugia (30 mins drive), Ancona (60 mins) and Rimini (c. 100 mins). From there, it’s just a 30–60 minute drive to Pian di Cascina.
Smaller regional airports also mean quicker security, shorter queues, and a much smoother travel experience overall.
Check Skyscanner or your preferred flight booking platform for the best and most convenient deals for you and your family.
7. A Reassuring Choice for Family Travel
Given the ongoing troubles in parts of the world, many families are currently choosing to holiday rather closer to home, favouring destinations like Italy, Spain, and southern France, over more far-flung trips. With reliable summer sunshine, shorter travel times, and fewer uncertainties than long-haul trips, it’s an option that offers both enjoyment and peace of mind — especially when travelling with younger children.
