Has anybody been to Italy with Thomason Al Fresco holidays? If so can you recomend a park that is suitable for an 8 and 11 year old boy for next summer.

Thomson Al Fresco have 7 parcs to choose from in Italy, in the regions of Lake Garda, Lazio, Tuscany and the Ventian Riviera. To travel with boys of 8 and 11 years old, we would suggest parcs with the widest range of activities, as well as amenities or attractions nearby. We are also suggesting resorts with a wider choice of eateries and restaurants. **Bella Italia, Lake Garda, could be fun as during the summer they run football tournaments, have both a pool complex with waterslides, whilst also with direct access to Lake Garda which provides opportunities for canoeing and other water sports. Also, nearby are some great attractions including Peschiera, Gardaland - Italy's favourite attraction park (3 miles), as well as waterparks, Medieval Times and a movie studio! Or on the Venetian Riviera, choose from **Marina di Venezia or **Pra delle Torri. Both of these parcs have direct access to sandy beaches, with loads to see and do. Pra delle Torri has it's own spectacular Olympic pool complex with waterslides, which look like great fun or explore the nearby harbour in Porto Santa Margherita. Marina di Venezia is tantalisingly close to Venice, which you can visit by waterbus (trip 1 mile), or Lido de Jesolo is 9 miles away, with a huge range of resort attractions including the Aqualandia waterpark or stay for the parcs windsurfing school and lots of other activities. We very much hope this helps with your holiday choice. Regards - The Take the Family Team

We are travelling to Pra dell Torri with Thomson Al Fresco next year. How far away is Gardaland? Can you get a train there?

We went to Pra Delle Torri 2 years ago and hope to return next year. It is a fantastic site. It is a long way from Gardaland I would not reccomend a day trip by train. Check out the Trenitalia website for details.

Great for you antiquebiker.... Nice place to be..
