Agricamping l'Ulivetta

Can’t choose between a seaside getaway or hols in the hills? At Agricamping L’Ulivetta, a tiny family-friendly site 10 minutes’ drive from the town of Licciana Nardi in the Massa-Carrara region of Tuscany, you won’t have to.

L’Ulivetta is about halfway between the sea and the mountains, so beach buff and hillside hikers are both catered for here– head to the port city of La Spezia for harbours and tiny beaches and venture into the National Park of the Tuscan-Emilian for a more mountainous experience, both around 30 minutes from the site.

At the foot of Mount Licciana, among the northern Apennines, L’Ulivetta is an area popular for hiking, cyclng, horseback riding and climbing, so it’s a prime spot to use as a base for exploring under the Tuscan sun (with or without the romance).

When you’re ready to put your feet up, make your way back to L’Ulivetta to take a dip in the pool (during the high season), let the kids burn off their energy in the playground, or chill out on the terraced pitches of olive trees, taking in the views towards Licciana Nardi and Castello di Monti.

Fire up the barbecue when you’re ready for grub (nab supplies at the supermarket about 10 minutes away), or grab a table at one of the many restaurants within 20 minutes of L’Ulivetta.
