We’ve just got back from holiday in Spain (Valencia) and really loved it, first time abroad since Covid and can’t wait for the next one! We want to go to Italy next. We have a 4 year old and a 5 month old, looking for somewhere with a nice sandy family friendly beach, but also a bit of culture and some ‘sights’ maybe near an interesting town or city, not averse to hiring a car and normally book an air B and B rather than all inclusive. Valencia was perfect as beach in our doorstep, but also the old town was really interesting and lots to do. Any recommendations for Italy for a similar type place?

Not the seaside, but Lake Garda, eg Bardolina or Peschiera del Garda. Pretty towns, lakeside beaches, amusement parks. It's all very lovely and easy. You can take ferries and dot about to different towns on the lake too.

Definitely Lake Garda, it's beautiful! It is very busy in the summer though.
Sardinia is also stunning, we had a wonderful family holiday there before Covid. Lots of very beautiful sandy beaches and pretty towns to explore. We all loved it there and my kids are desperate to go back!
