I read this fab article
ciaobambino.com/umbria-italy-vacation-with-kids/
and am really keen on Umbria now.
Seems Umbria is cheaper than Tuscany, my kids eat pasta and ice cream. They are 5 and 3 and all they want is a swimming pool to splash in. Thinking of a farmhouse type accomodation maybe near Perugia. Any tips very welcome
