Campeggio Panorama del Chianti

A few kilometres from base you can rent bikes and scooters for pleasant tours of the Chianti area. The first spot that it’s highly recommended to stop at is the tiny fortified town of Barberino Val d'Elsa, six kilometres away, with other highlights in the locale being Greve, Castellina, Radda, all within 30 kilometres. Florence, Siena, San Gimignano, Certaldo and Volterra are all an hour or less away by car, and Pisa can be reached in about 70 minutes’ drive. Spectacle-filled Florence is well worth a trip out while you’re here: very much like a huge open-air museum, this spectacular city is filled with palaces, churches, statues, museums, galleries and a magnifico cathedral, as well as plenty of excellent restaurants and other eateries to sample local cuisine among. The Chianti region is well-known for its wine production, so there’s also plenty of opportunity for a wine tour or two. Have an explore of the vineyards that produce famed Italian reds such as Chianti, Brunello di Montalcino, Morellino di Scansano and Nobile di Montepulciano to name but a few: ask the team on site for their most favoured vineyard picks.
