AgriCampeggio Le Fontanelle

So, first stop may be the scallop-shaped Piazza del Campo, sublime artworks in the Palazzo Pubblico and the striking marble interior of the black-and-white striped Duomo at Siena (half an hour’s drive), where you can also climb up Torre del Mangia for views over the Tuscan hills. The photogenic remains of Gothic-style San Galgano Abbey (20 minutes) should also be on everyone’s bucket list. If the kids are keen for a day at the seaside, there are several sandy Tyrrhenian Sea options in the Parco Regionale della Maremma (40 minutes), which is also home to wild cattle and horses. Still in the park, the spectacular town of Grosseto (45 minutes) has well-preserved medieval walls and Massa Marittima (50 minutes) is dominated by its stunning 14th-century cathedral. When it’s time for some serious chilling after all the sightseeing, book a treatment or soak up the medicinal properties of the waters at Petriolo Thermal Baths (15 minutes).
