Campsite in Tuscany

The capital of Tuscany, Florence enchants holidaymakers seeking historical discoveries. In the early morning, dive into the bustle of the San Lorenzo market, where stalls overflow with local products: aged cheeses, artisanal cured meats, golden olive oil... The aromas fill the aisles, inviting you to taste.

Then wander through the Boboli Gardens, true green havens dotted with Renaissance sculptures. In this open-air museum, each path reflects an era where art and nature were one.

Art enthusiasts will also appreciate the Uffizi Gallery, which houses timeless masterpieces by Botticelli and Leonardo da Vinci. And for an equally spectacular reward, climb the 463 steps of Giotto's Campanile: at the top, a breathtaking view awaits you over the terracotta rooftops and surrounding hills.

In the evening, head to Piazza Santo Spirito in the bohemian Oltrarno district. Settle down in a trattoria or a wine bar to savor a glass of Chianti, accompanied by typical Tuscan dishes. Every moment is an invitation to taste the Florentine dolce vita.

Between Florence and Siena stretches Italy's most renowned wine region. Here, the winding roads of the Via Chiantigiana meander through poetic landscapes of olive groves, cypress trees, and ancient vineyards. An emblematic landscape, shaped by centuries of history and tradition.

Visit the medieval villages, perched on hills or nestled in valleys, which tell the story of centuries past. In San Gimignano, known as "medieval Manhattan," it's famous for its 14 towers that rise above the rooftops. Its historic center, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is worth a leisurely afternoon stroll. Less touristy than its neighbors, Certaldo charms with its simple authenticity. This village, accessible by funicular, is the birthplace of the famous writer Boccaccio. Nearby, Monteriggioni, Volterra, and Castellina in Chianti are equally worth your attention.

But Chianti is above all an immersion in the Tuscan way of life. Wine tasting naturally goes hand-in-hand with discovering local specialties. Sheep cheeses and artisanal cured meats reveal all the richness and authenticity of this terroir. Wineries offer guided tours to understand the art of winemaking, passed down for generations. Discover the heart of Tuscany during your holiday at a Homair campsite.

The Cinque Terre, a true coastal gem of the Ligurian Riviera, offers a photogenic natural and architectural spectacle. These five villages suspended between sky and sea – Monterosso, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola, and Riomaggiore – unveil a multicolored palette.

Each village has its character. Vernazza, with its picturesque harbor, invites you to stroll at the rhythm of the fishing boats. Manarola, set like a living painting, captivates with its memorable panoramas of turquoise waters. In Corniglia, perched on a hillside, time seems to have stopped, offering a refuge for those seeking calm and authenticity.

Hiking trails, like the famous Sentiero Azzurro, connect these Ligurian villages, offering remarkable viewpoints over the Mediterranean. At every turn, the scent of citrus and maritime pines accompanies tourists. For an authentic experience, take the small local train that connects the villages or head out to sea to admire the coast from a boat.

Gourmets will appreciate the local specialties: pesto alla genovese and freshly caught seafood pair perfectly with a glass of Sciacchetrà, the sweet wine of the Cinque Terre.
