Tuscany is one of the most beautiful regions in Italy, and finding the best Eurocamp in Tuscany is a great way to enjoy it as a family without the high cost of city stays. With rolling countryside, charming villages, sandy beaches and beautiful cities, it’s an ideal base for an Italian adventure. One of the biggest perks is that you’re still within easy reach of Florence, so you can easily plan a day trip without paying city-centre hotel prices. Florence is one of my favourite places in Italy and it’s a surprisingly easy city to visit on a budget, especially when you stay just outside and travel in for the day. So, if you’re heading to Tuscany, here are my top picks for the 5 best Eurocamp holidays near Florence:

1. Eurocamp: hu Norcenni Girasole Village, Figline Valdarno

Located in the heart of Tuscany, hu Norcenni Girasole Village is one of the best Eurocamp holidays in Italy for a city adventure with the kids – it’s near Florence, Siena and Pisa!

How do I travel from the UK to Tuscany?

For ferry and channel crossings to/from Calais: Eurocamp have access to discounted slots which are usually significantly cheaper than booking directly. The prices fluctuate slightly but a return on the ferry from Dover to Calais is typically around £100 and the ‘Le Shuttle’ Channel Crossing was around £250 the last time we used it. The prices don’t really change during peak school holiday times either which is awesome! If you want to drive to Tuscany from the UK, it’s around a 14-15 hour drive from Calais.

For Eurocamp holidays with flights: Eurocamp offer some package holiday deals through Jet2holidays which include car hire (click to check out). Not all resorts are available and most families book flights separately – use the Skyscanner website to hunt out the cheapest flights. You can sort car hire easily on websites like Expedia, or book your transfers to and from the airport through Suntransfers. The main airports in Tuscany are Pisa Airport and Florence Airport – flights from the UK are typically only about 2-2.5 hours so it’s a good spot for a getaway with the kids.
