There is a sound that every parent learns to recognise during a holiday at Canado: it is the children’s cry of joy when they discover that today’s destination is Cavallino Matto. Located in Marina di Castagneto, it is the largest amusement park in Tuscany, a place where fairy tales come to life and adrenaline meets the scent of our coastline.
Having it so close by is a privilege our guests love to make the most of: a day spent amongst rides and shows is the perfect finishing touch to a holiday filled with sea and nature.
A park surrounded by greenery: fun in the cool pine forest
Just like our hotel, Cavallino Matto also shares a precious treasure: a centuries-old pine forest that surrounds every attraction. This is no small detail for those travelling with families. It means that, even on the hottest days of July or August, you can stroll from one area to another sheltered by the lush shade of the pine trees.
While the children run from one ride to another, you can enjoy the natural coolness of the woods, making the whole day pleasant and far less tiring than at traditional amusement parks under the blazing sun.
Thrills for all: from little explorers to the bravest
The beauty of Cavallino Matto is that no one is left on the sidelines. The park evolves from season to season, renewing its themed areas and attractions to surprise even those who visit every year. The park is designed to accompany your children’s growth, offering experiences tailored to every age group:
- For the little ones: You’ll find areas dedicated to children taking their first steps into the world of fun, such as gentle rides, colourful trains and fairy-tale villages where magic is made of colours and sounds, all designed to ensure maximum safety and wonder.
- For teenagers and parents: For those seeking an extra thrill, the park offers roller coasters and dynamic attractions that challenge you with height and speed. Whether it’s a breathtaking descent or an adrenaline-fuelled journey through themed settings, fun is guaranteed even for the older visitors.
- Shows for everyone: Don’t miss the live shows during your breaks. With magicians, mascots and acrobatic performances, the park’s theatre offers moments of wonder that will enchant the whole family.
The convenience of being home in just a few minutes
One of the benefits most appreciated by our guests is time management. There’s no need to plan early starts or face long journeys laden with bags. Being just minutes from the park means you can enjoy the day with complete flexibility: you can enjoy the park right up to the last minute and, shortly afterwards, be already immersed in our pool for a relaxing swim before dinner.
