  • Peaceful, spacious site on a hillside four miles from central Florence
  • City centre half an hour by bus; Siena and Arezzo 50 minutes' drive
  • Outdoor pool, restaurant, bar, play area and mini market on site
Florence… but with added fresh air? Book yourselves into Hu Firenze Certosa Camping in Town and you’ll be in a fabulously spacious and scenic spot surrounded by greenery on a hillside about four miles from the city centre. This chilled-out site is in a very strategic position for dipping in and out of Florence – you can drive into the city centre in around 15 minutes, but it's likely to be much easier to hop on the bus from a stop a few minutes’ walk away and save yourself the hassle of parking. Take in all the amazing art, architecture, food and city vibes… and then when it’s time to relax, head back into the hills and enjoy an evening soaking up the peace and the views. After a long day of sightseeing you'll no doubt be pleased to have the chance to take a nice dip in the outdoor pool, pick up a cool beer at the bar and then settle down at the restaurant for a good meal on the cool covered terrace. Breakfast is served at the restaurant too, and the site has a well-stocked mini market for self-catering supplies. Florence may be the big draw here, but you could easily use this place as a base for other Tuscany trips too, heading out into the Chianti hills for walks and wine tasting or setting off for a stroll around Siena.

What customers say

Great spot for Florence, easy bus/shuttle. Staff are legends, loos are spick and span. Pool and pub are ripper. Bit hilly and boggy on paths, some work happening.

Liked La posizione,a pochi km da Firenze,collegata benissimo con i bus fermata poco distante dal camping.

Personale cordialissimo e sempre disponibile.

Docce e bagni nuovi,ben tenuti e molto puliti.

Disliked Durante la mia visita erano in corso lavori di miglioria, quindi l’area risultava fangosa e un po’ scomoda da percorrere. Comprendo che si tratti di interventi necessari per migliorare la struttura e che quindi il disagio sia temporaneo. Tornerò volentieri a lavori conclusi per poter apprezzare meglio il posto.

Liked This camp ground is very convenient to get to the city and is very reasonably priced. The bathrooms, laundry, and other common areas are very clean and well maintained. The young women working recreation were helpful and very professional.

Disliked The campsite is very very very muddy. Just to take my dog outside to relieve him required a lot of preparation and then to comeback in included full procedures in order to keep the mud from devouring my van. Even with all the precautions, mud got everywhere inside my van. I wish maintenance would have layered the spots with gravel.

Local attractions

To Florence first, of course… the travel options here are so handy that you can easily plan to do several smaller trips or one full-on day out, depending on how long you’re staying for. The list of things to see and do is practically endless, but should certainly include things like the Uffizi Galleries, the Accademia Gallery (home of Michelangelo's David), the Ponte Vecchio, the Duomo… and plenty of stops for tasty food and drinks. Speaking of drinks, you’ll be handily close to the Chianti wineries here, so spending a day or two exploring the area, stopping in at vineyards, taking rural walks and visiting pretty villages like Greve in Chianti (half an hour’s drive) and Castellina in Chianti (35 minutes). For an insight into local food as well, tour the Museo della Pasta del Pastificio Morelli (40 minutes). A little further afield but worth the trip are other Tuscany towns and cities including Pistoia (35 minutes), Siena (50 minutes) and Arezzo (50 minutes). The intriguing Museum of Glass in Empoli (35 minutes) is worth a visit too.
