Once upon a time, there was a curious turtle named Tarty, who dreamed of bringing to the Gitavillages a hint of the magic of the enchanted worlds she had explored.
Today that dream è reality: in the Gitavillages you can discover Tartyland, the 2025 novelty that transforms every village into a realm of fantasy, play and wonder.
Tartyland: a world of excitement for the whole family
Each Tartyland è a unique place, inspired by different fairy tales and universes. Fairy tale scenery, colorful murals, hanging paths and creative workshops transform children's days into experiential adventures, while mom and dadà relax surrounded by nature or get involved in the spirit of the village.
And when the sun goes down, the magic continues: theaters and amphitheaters become stages under the stars, including musicals, shows and dance nights for the whole family.
Every night a new story, every day a different journey.
Tarty, the mascot that unites young and old
Symbol of the Gitavillage and beloved by all children, Tarty è a cuddly Caretta Caretta turtle who plays, dances and accompanies the little guests in a sea of fun.
With her, the children can participate in workshops, celebrate birthdays, take photos and parade in the evening baby dance.
A fun way to also learn the value of respect for the sea and nature, sinceé Tarty was created to remind us of the’importance of protecting the coasts on which this species has actually nested (in 2015 on Giannella beach and in 2018 on Montalto beach).
Gitavillage Argentario – All’arrembaggio verso la fantasia!
At Gitavillage Argentario, the imagination takes off and the vacation becomes a great adventure among wind, sea and pirate dreams. Here was born the Tartyland of the Corsairs, where mascot Tarty accompanies young and old on a journey through secret ports, hidden paths and colorful murals that tell sea stories. Every child becomes a little pirate, every family a crew united in the discovery of authentic emotions. The themed kids' club è a true paradise for young captains, with creative workshops, challenges and adventure trails suspended in the “Nests”, special nets among the trees where they can have fun in total safety.
When night falls, the amphitheater lights up like a lighthouse over the sea to host shows, musicals and dancing under the stars. At’Argentario, the vacation è a journey that makes the eyes sparkle — becauseé the real treasure è a booty of shared emotions.
Gitavillage California – Discovering the Jungle!
Immersed in nature, between sea and pine forest, Gitavillage California is transformed into a lively Tartyland of the Jungle, where adventure is intertwined with relaxation and the smiles of the little ones become the rhythm of the days. Here Tarty has invited a group of cute zoo animals, ready to experience the summer together with their new human friends. Between creative workshops, games in nature and activities designed to stimulate curiosity and friendship, the mini-club becomes a secret hideaway where every child can feel free to explore and dream. For those who enjoy vertical challenges, there are the “Nidi” nets suspended between trees for exciting experiences in total safety.
When the sun sets, the jungle comes alive with lights and music: the theater is transformed into a wild stage where the spectacle of nature and imagination is staged. At the California, every day è a plunge into freedom — — becauseé the real discovery è all there’è behind the fence.
Gitavillage Il Gabbiano– In the ocean depths
At Gitavillage Il Gabbiano, the imagination dives into the deep blue and every family è invited to explore an underwater world full of color, light and magic. Welcome to the Tartyland depth of the abyss, where children, guided by Tarty, become little divers discovering sea creatures, corals and hidden treasures. The village is transformed into an open-air aquarium, with spectacular murals recreating the depths of the ocean and activities that combine fun, discovery and respect for the sea. The kids club è an underwater corner where every day è an adventure among games, workshops and creative challenges, while the evening amphitheater lights up with light and music, giving shows for the whole family. Here the’enchantment of the sea meets the warmth of the’hospitality’for a vacation that leaves its mark on the heart and memory. Becauseé the real enchantment… è gliding through the waves of emotions.

The Tartyland of Wonderland is inspired by Alice in Wonderland: a colorful, surreal and surprising universe where Tarty takes families and children on a journey into fantasy. Vivid murals, eccentric details and thematic corners transport guests to a fairy-tale world where anything è possible. The TartyClub welcomes young guests with games and creative activities, while the TartyPark offers suspended trails for those who want to test their mettle and lightness. And for four-legged friends, there’è the TartyPet, an exclusive space dedicated to four-legged friends, with play areas and agility trails.
