The Cavallino Bianco Family Spa Grand Hotel is the first and only Grand Hotel dedicated exclusively to families with children -- meaning no kids, no entry. The majority of activities are geared towards little ones (but still enough to keep parents happy) although many programs are in Italian. The Dolomite surroundings are stunning and many rooms offer balconies with beautiful mountain views. Overall, especially with the all-inclusive plan, you'd be hard pressed to find anywhere with such a complete family-friendly package for the price.

The 120-room Adler Dolomiti Spa and Sport Resort is a high-end, family-run hotel complex set in the heart of a pretty South Tyrolean village. Boasting the largest water-based spa in the Dolomites, facilities are certainly impressive, as are the surrounding private parkland and accompanying mountain views. Rooms are peaceful and minimal, with modern bathrooms, minibars, and some with gorgeous balconies. Rates are bordering on eye-watering, though you can get plenty of extras with all-inclusive and half-board plans.
