A holiday in Versilia with the kids

Where to go on holiday in summer 2025? Versilia is one of Italy's most popular coastal spots thanks to its unique blend of nature, culture, tourism, and beautiful beaches. It's perfect for any type of break – including family holidays. Here, you'll find everything you need for fun and relaxation with the little ones.

If you're travelling with children, there's no shortage of options for a fun-filled stay for the little ones:

• Visit the beaches of this area of Tuscany. There are lots to choose from, and many are particularly suitable for family trips: we recommend the Riviera di Ponente beach, in the heart of an unspoilt oasis managed by the WWF. 

• Discover the Pineta di Viareggio, a large park to visit on foot or by bike and featuring playgrounds and mini trains for children. It is located in the centre of the Tuscan city, so it is very convenient to reach.

• Walk along the picturesque Versilia promenade, which is especially lovely at sunset. There are some very well-known strategic points to admire the spectacle of sundown over the sea, such as the pier of Forte dei Marmi.

Stintino, a stay in the heart of nature

Stintino offers one of the most beautiful views of the entire Mediterranean, with white beaches and crystal clear waters. This small town in north-west Sardinia attracts visitors from far and wide thanks to the enchanting natural setting that surrounds it – wild landscapes and untouched environments make it the ideal place for a holiday immersed in greenery, just a few steps from the sea.

There's no shortage of spectacular beaches in Stintino, but the most famous is La Pelosa. With its clear white sands and calm, turquoise water, it offers a truly relaxing atmosphere and is considered one of the most beautiful beaches in both Italy and Europe.

Other seaside spots worth discovering include Ezzi Mannu Beach, Cala Grande and Le Saline Beach – the latter particularly loved by surfing and kiteboarding enthusiasts. 

UNA Hotels Club Hotel Ancora Stintino, a dreamlike view of the sea

UNA Hotels Club Hotel Ancora Stintino is a true corner of paradise, thoughtfully designed to blend into its surroundings. The hotel is set within a 10,000-square-metre park, with buildings surrounded by oleanders and bougainvillaea. There's also a private beach that opens directly onto the Gulf of Asinara. 

And that's not all: the hotel provides a convenient shuttle service to reach some of the most beautiful beaches in Stintino – including La Pelosa – quickly and in total comfort

Fano 2025, for lovers of slow living and the Adriatic coast

If you enjoy taking things slow on holiday, UNA Hotels Imperial Beach Hotel Fano is the perfect place for you. This hotel is right in the heart of Fano's pedestrianised town centre, in a peaceful area just a stone's throw from the Adriatic coastline. 

Among the guest favourites are the private beach – perfect for a few hours of complete relaxation – the outdoor pool set within a 4,000-square-metre garden, and the entertainment and kids' club designed to keep little ones happy.

If you'd like to explore Fano and its seafront, the hotel also offers complimentary bicycle hire to follow the cycle path linking the hotel to the nearby town of Marotta.

What to do and see in Fano?

Fano is the third-largest city in the Marche region and is ideal for a peaceful stay full of interesting experiences. Here you'll find history, culture, great food, warm hospitality and a beautiful seafront. 

Fano was an important centre in Roman times, and you can still see traces of its ancient past in landmarks like the Arch of Augustus, the Pincio Gardens and the Augustan walls. History lovers should visit the Via Flaminia Museum – although there are no physical artefacts, you can rediscover the Roman past of the area through augmented reality headsets, tablets and screens in an immersive digital experience. 

The harbour area brings together the old and new sides of Fano. One of the best ways to explore it is with a stroll along the Lisippo promenade, where colourful murals celebrate the town's maritime identity and the views at sunset are simply unforgettable.

Just a few kilometres from the city centre is the Hermitage of Monte Giove – a peaceful retreat in the Marche hills where time seems to stand still and daily life follows the rhythm of the Camaldolese monks who live there.

Giardini Naxos: sea, culture and entertainment

Few destinations balance lively tourism with authentic charm quite like Giardini Naxos. Despite being a much-loved spot on Sicily's eastern coast, this town near Taormina still preserves the spirit of the ancient Greek colony founded here in the 8th century BC. The town's symbol is the Nike statue, built in 1965. 

There are several attractions to explore, including Schisò Castle – now part of the archaeological site – the Nike statue itself, commemorating the town's Greek roots, and the Chiesa Madre di Santa Maria Raccomandata church. Giardini Naxos is also famous for its vibrant nightlife, with bars, clubs and restaurants open late into the evening. 

Summer holiday hotels in Giardini Naxos

There's no better way to experience this part of Sicily than a 4-star resort at the foot of Mounbt Etna. In the summer months, the lush citrus garden at UNA Hotels Naxos Beach Sicilia comes into full bloom with the region's characteristic scents of oranges, mandarins and lemons.

From 1 May to 21 September 2025, guests can enjoy exclusive access to the hotel's private beach – a direct window onto the Mediterranean. That's not all: the resort also offers padel, tennis and football courts, four large swimming pools each with its own distinct atmosphere, seven bars and restaurants, and a wellness centre for personalised beauty treatments and massages.
