Planning a family trip to Italy? You're in for an adventure! Italians truly adore children, and this love extends beyond their own families. When it comes to accommodating families on vacation, Italy's services reflect this adoration for kids.
In bustling cities like Rome, Florence, and Milan, as well as serene countryside locations in Tuscany or along the Amalfi Coast, finding reliable and trustworthy babysitters can be a game-changer for your itinerary.

Seven Things to Consider Before Choosing Your Vacation Family Photographer in Italy
Planning your dream vacation to Italy with your family? A professional photoshoot will capture all the wonderful memories that you will make together.
In this article, I’m sharing seven things you should consider before choosing your vacation photographer.
Italy's best hiking trails (from a photographers eye)
What do you picture when you first think of a vacation in Italy? Exploring the Colosseum? Walking the streets of Florence with Gelato in hand? Eating too much pizza in Naples? Maybe laying under an umbrella on the Amalfi coast?
Italy is all of that, but it’s also an amazing hiking destination. And I’m not just talking about Tuscany’s rolling hills or the spectacular Dolomites. Just 20% of the country is flat terrain. The rest is a hiker’s paradise with rolling hills and spectacular mountains. No matter your experience or fitness level, there truly is a hike for everyone here in Italy!
Family-Friendly Cooking Class and photoshoot in Tuscany
A passion for good food is really the centre of Italian culture and what better way to immerse yourself than a local cooking class? There are plenty of options to choose from in any city you may visit, but what can be hard is finding a class that is suitable for the youngest family members.
I recently photographed this family as they made fresh pasta in the family-friendly Tuscan Agriturismo, Al Gelso Bianco (which I also recommend for accommodation too). As you can see, the entire family got involved thanks to the wonderful teacher.
Why Invest in Family Portrait Photography in Italy while on Vacation?
If you’re planning to experience Italy with your family this year or next, it’s certainly worth considering hiring a professional family photographer, especially one with knowledge of the country and whose style of family portrait photography you love.
