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.

Unfortunately, it was a disappointing experience, especially when it came to the restaurant.
We stayed here for a short weekend, and as far as the campground goes, no complaints: overall, it was a positive experience. The restaurant, on the other hand, was a real disaster, both in terms of the quality of the food and, above all, the way … customers are treated.
I ordered a fillet with green pepper sauce, which tasted terrible and decidedly off from the very first bite. I took a second bite, cut it open, and smelled it: the foul odor was even more obvious. I then asked the waitress, in a very polite manner, if it would be possible to replace the dish. The waitress apologized and told us that these things can happen.
So far, all understandable.
The real problem arose at the cash register. When it came time to pay, a man—presumably the owner—was called over. Instead of handling the situation professionally, he adopted an extremely arrogant and unpleasant attitude toward me.
He told me that there was absolutely nothing wrong with the filet, that they had sold seven of them that evening, and that I was the one who didn’t understand meat. He even insinuated that I probably didn’t know there was mustard on the plate. Finally, he informed me that he would charge me 50% of the dish’s price.
A truly baffling approach to customer service.
I didn’t want to argue and simply paid my 89 euros for dinner, including 50% of a fillet steak that, personally, I consider one of the worst I’ve ever eaten.
The issue isn’t the 89 euros; it’s the principle—and above all, the way a customer who politely points out a problem is treated. If a customer sends a dish back because they don’t like it, I don’t expect to be mocked, much less told that I don’t know anything about meat.
The campground may be pleasant, but a positive experience is completely ruined by a restaurant that, at least in my opinion, demonstrated poor quality and, above all, a severe lack of respect for the customer.
I strongly advise against eating at this establishment.
I was extremely disappointed—not so much by the fillet as by the arrogance and total lack of professionalism shown in handling the situation.this is a translation, click here for the original
Esperienza purtroppo deludente, soprattutto per quanto riguarda il ristorante.
Siamo stati qui per un breve weekend e, per quanto riguarda il camping, nulla da dire: esperienza nel complesso positiva. Il ristorante, invece, è stato un vero disastro, sia per la qualità del cibo sia, soprattutto, per il modo in cui viene trattato il cliente.
Ho ordinato un filetto al pepe verde che già dal primo assaggio aveva un sapore pessimo e decisamente anomalo. Ne ho assaggiato un secondo boccone, l’ho tagliato e annusato: il cattivo odore era ancora più evidente. Ho quindi chiesto alla cameriera, in modo assolutamente educato, se fosse possibile sostituire la portata. La cameriera si è scusata e ci ha detto che può capitare.
Fin qui, tutto comprensibile.
Il vero problema è arrivato alla cassa. Al momento del pagamento è stato chiamato un signore, presumo il titolare, che invece di gestire la situazione con professionalità ha avuto nei miei confronti un atteggiamento estremamente arrogante e sgradevole.
Mi ha detto che il filetto non aveva assolutamente nulla, che quella sera ne avevano venduti sette e che ero io a non capire la carne. Ha addirittura insinuato che probabilmente non sapessi che nel piatto ci fosse la senape. Come conclusione, mi ha comunicato che mi avrebbe fatto pagare il 50% della portata.
Una gestione del cliente davvero incomprensibile.
Non ho voluto discutere e ho semplicemente pagato i miei 89 euro per la cena compreso il 50% di un filetto che, personalmente, considero tra i peggiori che abbia mai mangiato.
Il punto non sono gli 89 euro, è il principio e soprattutto il modo di trattare un cliente che segnala educatamente un problema. Se un cliente restituisce una portata perché non la ritiene di suo gradimento, non mi aspetto di essere preso in giro, né tantomeno di sentirmi dire che non capisco di carne.
Il camping può anche essere piacevole, ma un’esperienza positiva viene completamente rovinata da un ristorante che, almeno per quanto mi riguarda, ha dimostrato scarsa qualità e soprattutto scarsissimo rispetto per il cliente.
Sconsiglio vivamente di mangiare in questa struttura.
Delusissimo, non tanto per il filetto, quanto per l’arroganza e la totale mancanza di professionalità dimostrata nella gestione della situazione -

A very well-maintained campground. Friendly staff and neat campsites. The pool is clean and has plenty of space for sunbathing. I'd love to come back.

Very basic for the price. You have to pay for towels and bed sheets. Not included for the price you pay. Every opportunity they will scam you out of more money. I suggest you stay somewhere else.
Beds are so uncomfortable you may be better on the sofa.
One staff member was so rude I don’t see how they are still employed.
Woken up in … the am by grass being cut. When I walked outside I was hit in the face with a stone that was thrown by the lawn cutting equipment.
Internet service that is “provided” doesn’t go further than reception. So I’d suggest a saily internet package for any data usage. There’s nothing to do on site so you’ll need it.
Would give a 0 if possible -
