The best five-star campsites in Italy

Italy's tourist infrastructure is among the best in the world. Hundreds of huge complexes and smaller recreation centers are only a fraction of the varied accommodation offer. Everyone will find something for themselves here, from a range of small campsites, larger family resorts and huge self-sufficient resorts.

It is not without reason that a number of facilities located in Italy have four- and five-star status. The amenities and comfort they offer to guests attract those tourists who love relaxation in the bosom of nature, but do not intend to give up the comforts of a hotel. Which campsites are worth paying special attention to when planning a holiday in Italy?

Camping Barco Reale – a stone's throw from Florence

The first facility is located approximately 35 km northwest of Florence, in the very center of Tuscany. It awaits vacationers surrounded by hills and evergreen forests, ensuring peace and quiet for those relaxing. It is an ideal place for families and for people who want to recharge their batteries through as close contact with nature as possible. Accommodation options include luxury tents, mobile homes and vehicle pitches. On hot days, you can cool off in the swimming pool, which overlooks the nearby vineyards. Children have animators at their disposal who make sure that they have a great time during their stay.

There is also a supermarket on site, where you can buy fresh bread and all the necessary products to prepare your own meals. The camping bar offers great drinks, perfect for hot weather (but they also taste delicious in the evening).

Guests like the resort not only because it is so well equipped. Its advantage is also its location - it is a great starting point for visiting nearby attractions. There is a bicycle rental service there, so cyclists can explore the area on two wheels, even if they are not on holiday. It's worth it, because there are plenty of nice bicycle paths around. In addition, Florence is nearby and easily accessible by car and public transport.

You can take your four-legged friend to the campsite - it is pet-friendly.
