Camping Paradiso Di Viareggio

A little slice of Tuscany heaven – and how. Camping Paradiso Di Viareggio is in Versilia, surrounded by ancient pine woods spreading from the park of San Rossore to the town of Viareggio, and within walking distance of several lush Tuscany beaches.

And how #2: from here it's easy to reach some of the most topping arty and historic cities of Tuscany – Florence, of course, but also Lucca, Pisa and Siena; while for nightclubbers and party peeps, all sorts of glittery venues are within easy reach from the nightclubs of Torre del Lago Puccini to the swanky clubs of the Versilia coast.

#3? Tuscan cultural events like the Festival Puccini and international sports tournaments in Viareggio and surrounds are also easy to get to from here – and the site is close to natural and wildlife watching settings like Lake Massaciuccoli and the protected San Rossore Massaciuccoli natural park in Migliarino.

And #4: just behind Viareggio rises the arc of the Apuan Alps with their caves and marble quarries (the famous caves of Michelangelo, arty sorts).

Back – finally – at base, the Camping Paradiso team reckons there's something on their site for all tastes and how right they are: grownups can take in the site entertainment or soak up the sun while the kids are kept happily busy by the site team, and there's a three-level swimming pool around for all ages.

Among the other plentiful and pleasant facilities are a bar and restaurant/pizzeria, a playground, a shopping bazaar (huzzah) and a grocery shop. Bike hire is available for gentle pedals on the nearby seafront promenade or investigating the local area.
