Holidays in Tuscany

Holidays in Tuscany with Eurocamp are the perfect way to see the sights of western Italy.

Tuscany can be found on the western side of "the boot" of Italy and is the fifth largest region. It is north of Rome and south of Genoa and is an ideal middle ground for your holiday. Eurocamp has 14 parcs in this area for you to choose from. It is a magical place famous for its wine and landscape dotted with olive groves, vineyards and old stone farmhouses. Tuscany has a distinct, romantic, medieval feel to it and is a relatively quiet area that fortunately remains untouched by mass tourism. Those who choose holidays in Tuscany with Eurocamp can really get a feel for the area and its people.

Tuscany is an area of outstanding natural beauty that is a treasure trove of history and culture. Its scenery has inspired many artists including Michelangelo and is also the home of the film The English Patient. It features many ancient cities including Pisa, Lucca, Siena and Florence and is said to be the birthplace of the Renaissance. Florence is a wonderful city that is home to some of the best art in the world. Its Galleria degli Uffizi has works by Botticelli, Michelangelo and Tintoretto. Pisa is of course famous for its Leaning Tower that dates back as far as 1173.

Summer is a popular time of year to visit Tuscany but it is perhaps at its best in the spring and autumn. In the spring Tuscany really comes into bloom, looking greener and more colourful than ever. It is also cooler making it an ideal time for serious sightseeing and walking holidays in Tuscany. Autumn is the time Tuscany has its grape harvest. It is here that some of the best wines it Italy are made including the famous Chianti Classico, Brunello and Nobile di Montepulciano. They celebrate this time with many delightful wine festivals that provide visitors with a real insight into the warm, rich culture. It is also the best time to sample the locally produced wines.
Tuscan towns are also responsible for producing some of Italy's finest foods including Trequanda, which is the home of olive oil, Pecorino cheese and Chianina bread. The town of San Giovanni d'Asso is also worth a visit if you're a chocolate lover because this is where they make the best white truffles in the world.

Tuscans have a very timeless way of life. Their culture is one that has remained unchanged for centuries. Despite this they welcome visitors with open arms keen to show off their fine homes, wine and food. Eurocamp offers a magical experience when you choose holidays in Tuscany.
