The country is stunning from top to bottom – from its Northern Mountains, to the Central city of Rome and down to the Southern beaches. With its warm weather and beautiful countryside, it’s the perfect country for a camping holiday.

Take a gondola ride through its canal streets and marvel at the beautiful architecture surrounding the waters. In the Central region are the stunning cities of Florence and Rome – packed with museums, art and ancient Roman buildings. And don’t forget Pisa with its iconic Leaning Tower! To the South is the stunning Amalfi coast, glorious Naples and volcanic Mount Vesuvius.
