The Tuscan landscape is a changeable masterpiece; every bit as beautiful as the priceless artworks held within the galleries and museums of her ancient cities. Each season brings a new colour palette of rolling fields and hilltop towns. A camping holiday in Italy can show you the real Tuscany – a region immersed in culture and history, with a warm invitation to explore.

It is no wonder so many of our most famous artists were inspired by the stunning scenery of Tuscany. The iconic portrait of the region is of sunburnt patchwork fields, neatly rowed vineyards and groves of Cypress trees. In reality, the picture is even more breathtaking and if you are lucky enough to experience a Tuscan camping holiday, Italy will work her way into your heart. Spending an evening sharing a bottle of wine, with the steady glimmer of a thousand glowing fireflies illuminating the darkened fields around your campsite, is an experience you will never forget.

In Italy, campsites offer a perfect base to delve headfirst into this engaging country. You can explore the cities as well as the smaller towns and villages, and get an authentic feel for life past and present. A holiday to Italy is about experiencing the food and the fun as well as the history, and you will find the locals more than willing to share their proud heritage and cuisine with you!

Italy’s campsites are located close to the most iconic historical sites. In Tuscany, history-laden Etruscan towns, elaborate ancient architecture and galleries filled with priceless artworks are all within your reach.

Pisa

One of the world’s most recognisable architectural landmarks – the leaning Tower of Pisa – is also one of the most visited sites in Italy. Campsites around the city are full year-round as visitors come from all over the world to view this wonderful error in judgement. But the tower is not the only attraction. The nearby Baptistry and the Duomo – set within Il Campo dei Miracoli (the Field of Miracles) – are to some, more beautiful and interesting than the tower itself. Their smooth sculpted sandstone exteriors seem to hold the secrets of a thousand years, and within the hallowed walls you can imagine the whispers of ancient ghosts.

Florence

Truly a city of dreams – Florence is everything that you’ve dreamed of and far beyond. Surrounded by fields of golden sunflowers, within the city exists the most extensive collections of artworks in Italy. Campsites in Florence are just a short drive or bus ride away from the most famous galleries in Europe, and indeed the world. The Accademia, the Uffizi and the Palazzo Pitti are just a few familiar names that all within reach. Florence is a true Citta d’Art and her priceless treasure trove of exquisite art is awe inspiring.

The Italians know how to live, laugh and love, and their passion is contagious. By the time your camping holiday in Italy is over, both your stomach and heart will be full. Italy will find her way under your skin and into your soul and you will never be the same again.
