Tuscan cities around glamping

Florence is the biggest city around the glamping, but in Tuscany, you will find many other historic cities. Head toward San Gimignano, whose hilltop location gives you a good view of the rolling countryside. An hour's drive and you'll be in the town full of restaurants and atmospheric streets. Siena is another option just over an hour away. The central square is sometimes used for horse races, and the streets around it offer restaurants, stores, and delicious Italian ice cream. Looking for a small town? Then drive to Lucca. Lucca is a 1-hour and 15-minute drive away. Eat the tastiest tiramisu in the historic center and take a stroll along the city wall.

A day trip to Florence

Take the bus that stops in front of the glamping or drive yourself towards beautiful Florence. After a half-hour drive through the green countryside, you will reach the historic city. In Florence, you will find several famous museums. Dive into history at the Uffizi Gallery or go to the Accademia Gallery to see Michelangelo's famous David statue. Stroll along the Ponte Vecchio where you'll pass the finest jewelers, enjoy an Italian ice cream around the cathedral, and browse the quaint stores. End your day with a fresh plate of pasta or delicious pizza, and then head back to the luxury safari tents at the glamping in Tuscany to rest after a day full of impressions.


Wines from the Chianti region

The area between Florence and Siena is known as the Chianti region. Bursting with vineyards, the hilly landscape is the place to go as a wine lover. Visit Castello Da Verrazzano where they will lovingly tell you all about their wines during a guided tour. Take a look in the wine cellars and taste the local flavors. Castello Da Verrazzano is a 45-minute drive away.

Relax in Parco di Pratolino

Just outside the city of Florence lies the green Parco di Pratolino. On this estate, you will find a grand villa, several works of art and walk past beautiful fountains. Highlighted by the 14-meter-tall statue "Colossus of the Apennines," there is much to admire here. 45 minutes in the car, and you reach the park that today is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Walk among the greenery and enjoy the tranquility.

The park is beautifully situated in the Tuscan hills and offers an excellent base for visiting Florence, easily accessible by bus stopping nearby. Guests praise the friendly and helpful staff, the spacious swimming pool, and the restaurant with spectacular views over the landscape. The campsite has generous, shaded pitches and facilities including a small supermarket and bar. Areas for improvement include sanitary facilities that some find outdated and not always optimally clean, prices in the shop and restaurant considered high, and limited wifi quality.

    We had booked a house for 2 weeks! 2 adults and 2 children; the rooms were fine, with private toilets and showers!

    Cons:
    - There isn't really any entertainment for the kids
    - At the restaurant, they charge 10€ for cutlery or setting the table.
    -The cottage door is hard to open and close.
    -You’re required to wear a swim cap to swim, which isn’t mentioned anywhere on the website!
    -There’s no sense of community or atmosphere at this campground, unlike at Spanish campgrounds.

    It’s a fine campground for a one-night stay, but not for an entire vacation.

    We hadden een huis geboekt voor 2 weken! 2 volwassenen en 2 kinderen,kamers waren prima met eigen wc en douche's!

    Minpunten:
    -Er is niet echt animatie voor de kinderen
    -Bij restaurant rekenen ze 10€ voor het bestek of dekken van tafel.
    -Deur van het huisje moeilijk open en dicht te krijgen.
    -Om te mogen zwemmen moet je ook een zwem muts dragen,wat ook nergens vermeld staat op de site!
    - gezelligheid en sfeer op dit camping is er niet,zoals op de Spaanse campings.

    En prima camping om 1 nachtje te overnachten, maar niet voor hele vakantie.

    Our stay at this campsite was unfortunately overshadowed by a very disappointing experience with a member of the staff.

    When we arrived, my family and I were shown to our mobile home by a staff member who introduced herself as the contact person for our area. She told us that if we had any questions or problems during our stay, we should contact her.

    For three consecutive nights during our stay, the guests staying next to us—who were friends of this staff member—made a lot of noise late into the night. During the first two nights, they were outside talking loudly for hours, making it difficult to sleep. On the third night, it turned into a party with loud music until around 1:00 a.m.

    When we politely asked them to lower the music and respect the campsite’s quiet hours (11:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m., as stated on the campsite), we discovered that our designated contact person was part of the group. Rather than ensuring the campsite rules were followed, she had spent all three evenings socializing with her friends while they disturbed nearby guests.

    Instead of handling the situation professionally, she was heavily intoxicated, became angry, and told us that if we caused her problems, she would make sure we had problems as well. We understood this as a threat, which is completely unacceptable from a member of staff whose role is to look after guests and help resolve issues.

    She also justified her behavior by saying that she deserved to relax because she had worked there for two years.

    I understand that staff have free time, but when they are staying on the campsite and are responsible for guests in the area, I expect them to respect and uphold the campsite’s own rules—not ignore them, contribute to the disturbance, and intimidate guests who simply ask for the rules to be followed.

    Because of this experience, I cannot recommend this campsite.

    Several additional fees for guests traveling with dogs that aren’t listed on the website.
    But the real downside is that once I politely pointed this out to the front desk staff, they wouldn’t just accept my feedback—instead, they started an argument in a very rude manner.
    I always travel with my dog; paying the surcharge isn’t a problem, but it’s standard practice that when I mention my dog is with me, I should be given the additional pricing information listed here:
    .
    The interaction with the staff was truly beyond words.
    Definitely not a place I’d return to.

    Diversi prezzi aggiuntivi per chi viaggia con il cane non segnalati da sito.
    Ma la vera nota negativa è che una volta fatto notare gentilmente al personale in reception, non è stato possibile fermarsi a un semplice feedback ma hanno aperto una polemica con modi molto scortesi.
    Viaggio sempre con il cane, non è un problema pagare il sovrapprezzo, ma è buon uso quando segnalo la presenza del cane, che mi vegano date le
    informazioni aggiuntive dei prezzi.
    Davvero incommentabile il confronto con il personale.
    Sicuramente da non tornarci.
