Where you’ll discover your fondest memories
In Tuscany, where every day begins with a discovery.
And ends with a memory.
There are holidays that change the way you experience time. Because every detail is designed to help you discover your most beautiful memories. We are convinced that those special moments are already here, hidden amongst the sand dunes and the pine forest, waiting only for your arrival to be experienced.
Our mission is to create spaces and services that allow you to share authentic experiences, without rushing, but leaving room for wonder and the simplicity of being together. So the days follow a more natural rhythm, made up of small gestures, smiles and the freedom to indulge your desires. This is how a ‘moment’ becomes a ‘memory’.
The Canado Family Hotel is a place designed for families, where every detail is designed to make both adults and children feel at ease. Sincere care and years of experience create an atmosphere where any holiday becomes something more: an opportunity to reconnect, slow down and take home memories to cherish for years to come.

It’s spelled “Canado”.
It’s read as “Family”.
By now, our slogan has become a recurring theme in the countless positive reviews we receive every year. We have put children at the heart of our project, organising every detail with a simple goal in mind: to build the place we would want for our own children. As parents, we know this well: if they are happy, so are we. Fun, inclusivity, the great outdoors, contact with nature, socialising: all tailored to every age.
Baby Club (1–3 years):
A true family experience
The Canado Family Hotel is proud to be one of the very few establishments in Italy to offer professional childcare services for children from 1 year old. The Baby Club operates like a small nursery, located in a cool area specially designed for little ones. Our guests can leave their children in the care of our nursery staff, who will provide age-appropriate play-based learning activities every day. This ensures that your holiday is truly a relaxing and enjoyable experience for the whole family.

How does the entertainment programme work? Is it guaranteed even in the low season?
Entertainment is at the heart of the Canado experience: for this reason, the service runs from the hotel’s opening to closing time. The number of entertainers varies according to the number of guests, with the aim of constantly ensuring the highest quality of service.
Children are organised into groups divided by age, and the entertainers offer a variety of activities, always tailored to the specific needs of each stage of psychomotor development: creative workshops, fun and educational sessions, sports tournaments and much more.
As a guide, the timings are:
- morning: 10am–12.30pm
