Holiday on the Island of Elba with children

The Island of Elba is one of the most fascinating destinations in Tuscany, appreciated for the variety of its beaches, the richness of the natural landscape, the goodness of the food and wine tradition and the historical and cultural heritage.

The Island of Elba and the campsites on the Island of Elba by the sea such as Camping Tallinucci in Lacona are the ideal destination for families, thanks to the numerous activities that allow you to alternate moments of relaxation by the sea with cultural and discovery experiences, making every day different and engaging even for the little ones.

The Island of Elba boasts more than 100 beaches, all different from each other and therefore all unique: pebble beaches, white sandy beaches, pebble beaches, very wild beaches and for those who love adventure. Camping Tallinucci, which is located along the southern coast of the Island of Elba, is right on the Gulf of Lacona. Here, a kilometer-long stretch of golden sand has been welcoming our guests for 65 years: thanks to its gently sloping seabed, it is the ideal place where the little ones can play and swim in total safety.

For families with children on holiday on the Island of Elba, the campsite with direct access to the sea wins over any hotel in the small municipalities of the island.

Compared to stays in built-up areas, Camping on the Island of Elba in Lacona offers a more complete stay:

• The awakening of the senses: open your eyes with the sea breeze that comes in through the window and let the children run free in nature, in a safe and protected environment;
• Getting together every summer: the joy of embracing those friends who, year after year, become one’s “holiday family”, creating bonds that last a lifetime;
• Sharing and joy: organize a spontaneous barbecue with the neighbors on the pitch, thus making a dinner a party with friends;
• Discoveries and relaxation: carve out a quiet moment in our library to put together a puzzle or read a book together, or discover the rhythms of the earth by meeting in our garden.

At Camping & Apartments Tallinucci, the watchwords are freedom, flexibility, nature and family. In addition to the classic pitches, we offer sea view apartments, directly on the beach of Lacona and shaded with pines and eucalyptus, the perfect solution for those looking for the comfort of a home without sacrificing the atmosphere and adventure that only life en plein air can give.

Directly on Lacona Beach, Camping & Apartments Tallinucci offers access to one of the safest and best-served areas on the Island of Elba: Lacona Beach is ideal for small children thanks to a shallow and sloping seabed, which allows you to play on the shore in total safety.

However, families can also count on complete services, from catering to outdoor activities, such as excursions in the Mediterranean scrub. Another plus is the possibility of alternating the sun of the crystal clear sea with the regenerating shade of the pine forest, thus giving even the little ones an experience in contact with unspoiled nature and rich in underwater life visible from the shore.

In the 65 years of activity of Camping Tallinucci, we have seen generations of families pack their bags and, year after year, we have collected the secrets to make a simple stay a stress-free experience.

Leaving prepared means understanding how to harmonize children’s times with the rhythms of the Island of Elba and Camping on the Island of Elba by the sea. From managing the Elba sun to choosing the essential items for life en plein air, here are the practical tips of the Tallinucci family to ensure that the only concern is to enjoy the sea of Lacona.

When traveling with children, the temptation is to take the whole house with you. But camping life teaches that true freedom lies in having the right things, even if they are few. Here is our list of ‘must-haves’ to ensure comfort for the little ones and serenity for mum, dad and maybe even grandparents:

• air mattress,
• torch, for night walks and to read fairy tales in a tent / bungalow;
• Organic mosquitoes and repellents: the vegetation is beautiful, but there are always some “courtesy” mosquitoes;
• portable drying rack or rope with clothespins, so you have dry costumes and towels!
• entrance mat to leave the sand outside the sleeping area;
• baby carrier or backpack: there are many families who love trekking on the island of Elba, which is why it is always good to have a baby carrier backpack as well;
• bicycles or scooters: Camping is the kingdom of freedom; moving on two wheels is the best for children, to be at the playground, on the playgrounds or to run between the pitches;
• thermal water bottle, to have fresh water during trips under the Elban sun;
• post-puncture stick, For small accidents on the path during games;
• rock shoes, important for exploring the coves without worries;
• Sun protection to protect the skin of the little ones and the delicate marine ecosystem of the Tuscan Archipelago;
• Snorkeling kit: even just a mask to see the fish on the shore; on Elba the water is crystal clear!

To enjoy the atmosphere of Camping Tallinucci and Lacona beach at 360°, we suggest families follow the natural rhythm of the island. Although each family has its own “ideal day”, here is an idea of how to organize it in Lacona with children:

• The morning: The secret to a clear day is to reach the beach before 9:30 am. In these hours the air is crisp, the sun is still sweet and the water of Lacona is crystal clear. It’s the ideal time for games that require space and tranquility: marble challenges, racket tournaments along the shore or castle building with our fine white sand.
• To respect the quiet hours (from 13:00 to 16:00 and from 22:30 to 08:30) and to protect children from the heat peak, we recommend leaving the beach around 12:30. Returning to the pitch or bungalow for a quick shower and a light lunch helps the body to regenerate. These central hours become an opportunity to rediscover the pleasure of slowness and devote yourself to coloring books, create bracelets with beads, challenge each other in a game of cards or put together a puzzle together. It is the perfect time to “unplug” in the shade of our vegetation, lulled by the silence of the campsite.
• As the night silence approaches (which starts at 10:30 pm), we suggest a walk on the beach of Lacona. Admiring the stars with your feet on the sand is the ideal way to release the last energies of the day and prepare children for a deep and restful sleep, surrounded by the quiet of the Island of Elba.

If you are looking for a family-friendly solution for a holiday on the Island of Elba with children, Camping Tallinucci is the campsite on the Island of Elba that every year, for 65 years, has been chosen by families with children.

Camping & Apartments Tallinucci enjoys an enviable position, with two direct accesses that lead from the heart of the campsite directly onto the golden sand. For those staying on beachfront pitches, the boundary between their accommodation and the crystal clear water almost disappears!

This proximity radically transforms the holiday experience, making it more spontaneous, safe and extraordinarily comfortable.

How nice is it, on vacation, to be able to follow the rhythms of the little ones without having to run here and there all the time? The proximity between the pitch and the apartments of Camping Tallinucci and the beach allows you to alternate between beach, rest and breaks from the sun with extreme ease.

From the dedicated play areas to the toilets tailored to the youngest guests, every detail at Camping Tallinucci has been designed to make life easier for parents for 65 years; For this reason, we left the playground in the center of the campsite, very close to the children’s toilet department. While the children play safely in a protected and welcoming environment, mom and dad can finally enjoy the well-deserved relaxation, knowing that they have every comfort available just a few meters away.

In over 65 years in business, we’ve learned that a family vacation isn’t complete without your four-legged friends. At Camping Tallinucci, the well-being of your dogs is a priority that we feel deeply ours.

To make their stay unforgettable and comfortable, we have designed spaces designed exclusively for them:

• Pet Area: a safe space where dogs can run and play freely;
• Dog Shower: an area equipped with specific showers to refresh them after a day of sand and salt.

To ensure a harmonious coexistence and maximum cleanliness in all our facilities, we ask you to observe some small restrictions regarding accommodation:

• Pitches: dogs are always welcome in the campsite;
• Apartments and Mobile Homes: four-legged friends are not allowed inside the Mobile Homes and apartments of the “Gerbera” complex.
• Sunflower Complex: Dogs are not allowed in July and August.
