Camping in Tuscany

Considered by many to be Heaven on earth, Tuscany needs little introduction. Just mentioning the name of what is undoubtedly one of Italy’s most beautiful regions conjures up images of a sun-blessed landscape with seemingly endless Chianti vineyards, gently rolling hillsides, majestic rows of slender cypress trees and medieval towns.

Plus, if all that wasn’t enough, Tuscany has a spectacularly rugged coastline, simply glorious sandy beaches and Renaissance cities boasting wonderful art and architecture.

A birthplace of Renaissance thinking, and perhaps home to the greatest collection of art treasures, frescoes, sculptures and paintings in the world, Tuscany manages to provide holidaymakers with what could be easily described as the true essence of Italy.

A peaceful setting for a relaxing family holiday, Tuscany is also ideal for couples who love walking, wine, art, history, exploring and bags of sightseeing.

The inspiration behind countless cookery books, Tuscany is a region of delicious, if not sometimes simple, cuisine. Hearty soups are popular on Tuscan menus – as is the spicy seafood soup, cacciucco. Antipasti reflect the region’s rural heritage. Meat dishes are most often grilled. And local cannellini beans feature in salads and pasta dishes. Tuscan wines are world-famous and include numerous Chianti varieties.

Visit Tuscany and enjoy stunning scenery, outstanding sights of Italy, as well as wonderful regional food and wines.

Camping in Rome

As Rome wasn’t built in a day, it would be near impossible for us to include the many attractions of this richly historical city in such a brief guide. Instead, we’ve listed some of the most popular sights, as well as one or two suggestions for alternative days out during your holiday to one of Europe’s top tourist destinations.

The superb Keycamp parc, Camping Village Fabulous, is ideally placed to allow you easy access into ‘The Eternal City’, while offering a wonderfully relaxing location amongst 70 acres of beautiful alpine trees.

Rome is only a short bus ride from the parc (buses normally depart every half hour or so). Alternatively, there is a regular rail link into Rome; the local train station, Laurentina, is just 2km from the parc and a bus from outside the parc will take you directly there.

And when in Rome, do as the Romans do… make use of the inexpensive public transport system that runs throughout the city.
