Out and about

The world-renowned Chianti wine is made in this area and about 16km from the parc is the town of Greve - easily reached via public transport - the centrepoint for the distribution of wine to the surrounding areas. Historical Florence is definitely worth a visit; marvel at the art and architecture including Michaelangelo's 'David' and enjoy the vast array of shops, bars and restaurants.

Attractions

Parco di Pinocchio

The park of Pinocchio could not have been set anywhere other than in Collodi. The author adopted this village for his surname after spending most of his childhood here. Established over a span of 30 years, the park is far from being a traditional theme park, rather it is a creation of fantasy endowed with unique charm. Stroll along the paths and experience a living story amid unspoilt pearls of nature blended with beautiful art.

Pistoia Zoo

A few kilometres away from the centre of Pistoia, immersed in the hillside is this 75,000 square metre zoo. One of the most interesting zoological gardens in Italy both because of its position and the number of species gathered. Over 600 animals from around the globe including flamingos, llamas, camels, tigers, elephants, hippos and bears. There is also an area where children can touch the animals such as goats and rabbits.

Travel details

Local Directions

From the A1 motorway (Florence – Rome), take the Incisa exit, about 24 km south of Florence. After the tollbooths, turn left following signs for Figline Valdarno, for approx. 4 km. On entering Figline Valdarno, straight after a set of traffic lights, you will pass a Coop supermarket on the left and a petrol station on your right. Take the next right fork towards Siena, and then the next major right (before a small bridge) signposted for the campsite. Follow this road up the hill for about 3 km until you see a campsite sign, down a small road to the left. The campsite entrance is 250 m down this road.
