Family Holidays in Tuscany Between Lucca and Florence | Family-Friendly Farmhouse with Pool

Over the years, I’ve learned that the perfect family holiday isn’t about ticking boxes or following tight schedules, it’s about finding your own rhythm.
At Terre di Cocomo, our farmhouse between Lucca and Florence, we welcome families every summer who arrive with one simple wish: to be together, breathe fresh air, and experience the authentic Tuscany.
If you’re looking for a family-friendly farmhouse in Tuscany, surrounded by nature, with a pool and plenty of opportunities for exploration, you might just feel at home here.

A family-friendly farmhouse in the heart of Tuscany

The first thing children notice when they arrive at Cocomo is space: wide meadows to run barefoot, cats to cuddle and our donkeys Cocomo and Chiaradadda, who curiously approach from their paddock.
The garden is filled with birdsong and the scent of freshly cut grass.
For parents, this means they can truly relax, sitting with a book or a glass of wine while the little ones play freely and safely.
The panoramic pool becomes the perfect meeting point for the whole family: morning dips, afternoon games, laughter and quiet sunsets overlooking the rolling hills.

Exploring Tuscany with kids

Our farmhouse between Lucca and Florence is perfectly located for families who love to balance relaxation and discovery.
Each day can bring a new little adventure, suitable even for younger children.

Recommended Family Excursions

Lucca – Walk or cycle (or take one of the charming carriages!) along its Renaissance walls, safe and fun for kids.
Collodi – The village of Pinocchio, with the beautiful historical gardens of Villa Garzoni.
Vinci – Leonardo da Vinci’s birthplace and museum, where children can explore his inventions and ideas.
Pisa – The Leaning Tower and Piazza dei Miracoli, perfect for a half-day trip.
Montecatini Alto – Reach it by funicular, a simple but delightful experience for little explorers.

Life on the farm: nature and small discoveries

One of the children’s favorite moments is visiting the organic vegetable garden: picking ripe tomatoes, smelling aromatic herbs, learning where food really comes from.
They often ask endless questions and I like to think that here, they learn something that stays with them long after the holiday.
Animals are part of everyday life: Woody, our calm guardian dog, the cats always seeking a sunny spot, and the donkeys who teach the art of slowness.
Every encounter is a small moment of wonder.

Peaceful and joyful family evenings

After a day of excursions or splashing in the pool, the countryside fills with voices and scents.
Many families love to dine under the pergola, often cooking with vegetables freshly picked from the garden.
Evenings at Cocomo are simple and authentic: card games, stargazing and storytelling.
There’s also ping-pong, bocce and a small playground with slide and swing for the little ones.
It’s that kind of tranquility you rarely find today and it’s what makes family holidays here truly special.

Choosing a holiday in Tuscany with kids means giving yourself the gift of time and space to simply be together.
At Terre di Cocomo every family finds its own rhythm: some love exploring, others prefer resting and some just enjoy slowing down.
From here you can reach Tuscany’s art cities or spend the whole day by the pool, no rigid schedules, just freedom and nature.
And every time a family leaves, I see that sparkle in the children’s eyes, the one that tells me they’ve found something precious: a small piece of Tuscany to take home.
We can’t wait to welcome you.
