HOLIDAYS IN ITALY
Camping in Italy
Italy wears it's historical roots very much on its sleeve - and who can blame it. From the terracotta cloaked cities of the Renaissance to the world famous landmarks left behind by the Roman Empire, setting foot in Italy means witnessing a cultural marvel.
When camping in Italy with Al Fresco across five major regions, you will have the opportunity to experience life the Italian way; a coffee break in the piazza, taking in iconic art pieces at a museum, or unwinding under the olive trees with unbeatable food and drink.
Whether you want to tick off stunning architectural feats such as the Roman Colosseum, soak up the sun on the sands of Sardinia or windsurf on the picturesque Lake Garda, Italy welcomes families and friends of all tastes and styles.
CAMPING HOLIDAYS IN ITALY
LAKE GARDA
If swimming, windsurfing or sailing on Italy's largest freshwater lake sounds appealing, then camping in Lake Garda may be just for you. The ideal base for children and teens seeking thrills and spills at some of the best water parks in Italy, parents will also welcome the chance to vineyard hop.
VENETIAN RIVIERA
High-quality camping villages await in Venice, where beach-bound days alternate with gondola journeys through the floating city itself. It isn't hard to see why Shakespeare chose this exotic part of the world as the backdrop for many famous plays.
TUSCANY
There are two gloriously simple choices of activity when camping in Tuscany - beach or countryside. Placing the the laid-back essence of the Italian lifestyle front-and-centre, a visit to the region involves valley views, gastro delights and a must-do day-trip to Pisa.
ROME
Even the grand nickname of the 'Eternal City' doesn't do justice to quite how remarkable a trip to Rome can be. Rarely has a city got the blend of old-world sites and modern activities quite so right, with immaculately preserved Roman history alongside inviting culture and dining spots.
NAPLES
With its historical sites, including an undoubted highlight in touring Pompeii's ancient city and stunning natural features such as the active volcano remaining in Europe - Mt Vesuvius, there is always something to see and do. You won't be able to leave without sampling Naples' very own culinary delicacy...pizza!
ADRIATIC COAST
From areas of outstanding natural beauty and castles through to the chance to swim within the sparkling waters of the Adriatic Sea, camping on the Adriatic Coasts also sees direct access to some of the finest family-friendly beaches in Italy.
SARDINIA
If you have beach days in mind when planning a trip to Italy, then idyllic Sardinia is well worth considering. There is also plenty of chance for exploration among the mountain ranges - ensuring the region is as suitable for the adventurous as it is for sunseekers.
IN THE GARDEN OF EDEN, A LITTLE PIZZA PARADISE
