Agricampeggio Madonna di Pogi

Agricampeggio Madonna di Pogi’s woodland setting is itself all surrounded by countryside and mountains for a bucolic and peaceful vibe, but you're splendidly well connected here too as the park is within around an hour or a wee bit over by car from Tuscany’s most topping tourist destinations, including Siena, Arezzo and Florence – and if you fancy leaving the car back at base, you can hop on the train to Florence and Arezzo from the nearby station in Bucine. On site, hire a bike and venture to pedal around the site’s countryside locale – there’s lots of it – or stick to your pins and have a scenic hike around instead. If you’re travelling with curious-minded littlies, then a couple of topping attractions are within around an hour’s drive, including the archeological museum in Castellina in Chianti and the archaeological site of Poggibonsi: especially eccellente for the youngest of peeps, this site is an excavated archeological dig spanning three different eras, around which you’ll be guided by highly entertaining multilingual actors who’ll regale you with stories of the area’s bygone times. And might touring the vineyards of the Valdarno and Chianti wine region pique one’s holiday interest… Sì? Then that’s another reason to pitch up here, because it’s well within an hour’s drive of several highly handsome Chianti towns, the vineyards around which make for splendid days filled by quaffing and swotting up on local wines like Brunello, Montepulciano, Vernaccia di San Gimignano and, of course, Chianti.
