Beautiful view! great camping ground, but very big with lots of tour groups and tents dont block out any noise. Have to rent lockers to charge your phone etc. Really enjoyed staying here, would definitly go back.

We enjoyed staying here. The tents were a little cold at night, but otherwise comfortable. The view of Florence from the camp was amazing. The camp had a lot of amenities (i.e. Showers, toilets, laundry, market etc). The bus stopped right in front of the camp which made sight seeing more enjoyable.

The bus stop from the Central train station on line 12 is NOT 'Camping' (The stop called 'Camping' does exist IF you are coming on the opposite side of the road on line 13) and I'm not even sure what stop it was, we just finally got off the bus and started walking... The campsite doesn't have a good sign posted out front either.close

A great camping ground in an amazing location. Enjoyed my stay- although it is a bit hard to meet people here if you are a single traveller.

I lived in those tents-there is no light and it is quite cold at night; but the friendly staff may give you extra blankets. It is roughly 20 mins walk to town, but going back at night can be a bit scarey-you also need to walk up quite a lot to get back, but the view of Florence was superb! No in...

The view is spectacular and well worth the climb up the hill. The tents can be a little noisy if you are closer to the road (and from September on you will definitely need a second blanket) but that just makes the camping feel more genuine.

Beautiful camping spot with nice beds, tons of showers, laundry, and a restaurant/grocery store. It has a nice view of the city, but its a bit of a walk to get there. The bus stops right at the campground.

Please inform the customers to supply their own lights for the tents, as we were expecting lights inside ours. luckily they had some emergency battery powered mini lights we could use but it would have been really helpfull to have known that we should have brought our own light.

for us this location was ideal, about a 20min walk down hill to the tourist sights but worth it for the views. a bus is also available. quite noisy at night.if you stay in a house tent dont forget a torch!

The site is really good, however the location(a 15 mins walk up a hill side does get a bit boring when you've done it several times) and also the bathroom did smell bad and the shower are rubbish cold and just a large drip. Though for how cheap it is you have to weigh things up.

the only good thing about this campsite was the amazing view and the fact that it was only a 20 min walk into the centre. the majority of the staff were appaling iv never met so many rude and unhelpful people in my traveling experience. so as long as you dont ask any questions and avoid the staff...

The campsite is in a perfect location in florence (this is the 2nd time I have stayed here in 4 years) but there is to much noise early in the morning with people cleaning or doig servie type work when peole are trying to sleep,this is very frustrating and I know at least 5 people who left early...

Definitely recommend staying there although I wouldn't recommend eating there, the pasta dishes are microwavable meals and the pizza's aren't much better.close

This place had a great view but was pretty boring. If it weren't for a couple of girls I met while I was there I would have hated this place because of how boring it was. Ok for saving money though.
