I would like to know if anyone have been going to the horseback riding, cooking lesson and pool in one place when we all visit in Tuscany or somewhere else from Florence where we stay there for 3 nights. I am trying to see if any information to provide, hopefully it is for one day. I would like to make my kids are enjoyable instead of going to museums.
Any possible to give me some ideas.
A suggestion? At 19 and 24 your young people are hardly 'kids': many young people this age are traveling Europe all by themselves. As they're old enough to do their own research, it's good training for them to do so; it's part of learning how to travel. Additionally, they can't complain if they've done the work and chosen the activities/places themselves? Give them the task so that THEY contribute effort to this holiday and pick up some valuable skills as well.
I am giving them an idea. We are the parent. We are going with them but I just want to give them an ideas an option. I am looking for not sleeping overnight but we prefer to go for pool, horseback riding and cooking lesson at once place for the day. We could not find it.
Thanks for understanding. Hope someone can give a feedback.
Yes, I know you're the parents and are going with them. My point is that they're old enough not to need Dad and Mom to plan their entertainment. Your itinerary, with the exception of a day trip to Cinque Terre, is all cities, and you're unlikely to find horseback riding within reach of Florence without renting a car. Are you willing to do that?
Also, facilities in the countryside with all of the desired amenities are likely to reserve them just for overnight guests but a suggestion was made here:
Did you try and contact them?
We always turned over part of the planning to our teenagers and young adult kids when traveling. As a result I saw the Specolo in Florence, the British Library and the John Soanes Museum in London, the Cluny and climbed the Notre Dame Tower and saw St. Denis in Paris and saw the Aqueduct Park in Rome -- all ideas my kids came up with. I'd carve out some time to turn over to them to plan and see what they come up with.
You can swim in a pool and ride a horse and take a cooking lesson at home -- what can you do in Tuscany that you can't do at home -- then do some of that. One suggestion -- Take a look at Saturnia's free public park hot springs waterfall.
