Campo al Fico

We don't reckon there's a person on the planet who wouldn't holler hell yes at a Tuscan seaside site. For here one has the Etruscan coast, the teeny medieval villages, the white glistening beaches and blue sea, and easy access to the likes of Florence, Pisa and Siena...

A kilometre or two from all this Tuscan coast goodness is Campo al Fico, a family-friendly site in front of the island of Elba and a short drive from near the old town of Piombino in the province of Livorno, the sailing point for ferries to the Tuscan Archipelago. Bike hire is available if you'd like a gentle pedal down to the nearest beach, but if you're feeling lazy there's a site shuttle bus to take guests to the sands.

Al Fico has an outdoor pool with waterslide, a play area, tennis courts, a barbecue area and regular entertainment like karaoke, live music, dancing and cabaret in high season.

And, if you're also the type who hollers hell yes at the thought of Tuscan cuisine and vino (all of us, then), you can get sorted at the site restaurant dishing up selections of local cuisine, wood oven-baked pizzas, seafood platters and rather tasty regional wines.

Regional produce as well as fresh fruit and veg are available in the Campo al Fico shop.
