With its spectacular mix of beautiful countryside and historical
cities, Italy has long been one of the top European holiday
destinations. The excellent selection of campsites, usually located
near the major cities, beautiful scenery and sights means that camping
in Italy offers the best of both worlds – rural seclusion, close
proximity to the bustling cities, and easy access to the local
attractions for families and couples who camp here.
Deciding to take a camping holiday in Italy is the easy part –
choosing between the many highlights of the country is the real
challenge. The three main areas for camping in Italy are Tuscany, the
Italian Lakes and the Adriatic Coast. Each offers its own unique break,
and choosing a destination depends very much on what kind of holiday
you want to have – profiled below are the highlights of these three
potential choices for a camping holiday in Italy.
Tuscany
The rolling hills of Tuscany, dotted with vineyards and picturesque
towns and villages, is one of the most memorable parts of Italy.
Campsites are divided between the inland region, the excellent
Mediterranean coastline and two of Italy’s most impressive cities, Rome
and Florence. This is the perfect choice for people who want to combine
cultural tours in the cities as well as the natural beauty of the
countryside. Gourmets will also find plenty to enjoy in Tuscany; the
wine and cuisine is world renowned.
The Italian Lakes
The Italian Lakes is perhaps the most beautiful region in the
country, a series of enormous inland lakes, framed by mountains in the
north of Italy. Camping holidays here are especially popular with
families looking to relax by the lakes or to enjoy the many watersports
including sailing and windsurfing. Lake Maggiore, which extends all the
way up to the Alps, is the place of choice for walkers and mountain
lovers, while Lake Garda, located at the heart of the country, is the
centre of watersports in Italy. If you’d like a taste of city life,
chic Milan and romantic Verona are just a short distance away.
The Adriatic Coast
Home to perhaps the finest stretch of coastline in Italy, camping
holidays in the Adriatic Coast are the perfect choice for holidaymakers
who like their beach holidays. Lido de Jesolo is a lively and popular
resort that has the best beaches in the area, and there is one other
local highlight that simply can’t be missed – Venice. This spectacular
canal city is one of the classic sights of the world, and camping in
Italy is the perfect way to visit it on a day trip while avoiding the
expense of staying in the city itself.
A camping holiday in Italy can be ideal for city slickers and nature
lovers, families keen to entertain their children and couples looking
for a romantic holiday abroad. Whether you want to windsurf on Lake
Garda, sip wine in the Tuscan countryside or wander through the winding
streets of Venice, there will be a campsite in Italy that is perfectly
suited to you.
