We had a wonderful time at #VillaggioDegliGnomi! First and foremost, I need to mention the trail. The most comfortable and beautifully manicured trail I've had privilege to set foot upon! I had no concerns letting my kids run full speed downhill, because I knew their footing was sure and the fall would be into soft golf course type grass! As well I would gladly pay to run this loop 10 times! |The playground was wonderful, and though there were plenty of other guests, we had no problem finding a table where we ate the picnic we had brought(you can also get food at the bar). There were slides and swings a volleyball ball court and basketball hoop, as well as 2 giant inflatable bouncy houses. There is also a 5 year old friendly race track that costs a 1 Euro token, but it is way more generous than the rides at the mall!||The gnome village was wonderful! It is small, but as you would expect... after all, they are gnomes. Not to spoil the fun, but the gnome houses are interactive for the kids, and your kid can talk with them, see them, and maybe even get a sweet straight from the gnomes house should they say the magic word! |The loop has a nice fitness circuit with various exercise equipment at stops through out the trail.|Last but not least, the park is integrating a Pokemon go type app to benefit the park experience. Very cool from what I've seen, but it wasn't 100%...
