Camping Village Internazionale Firenze ***

Dogs are welcome but are not allowed to swim in the dea from 8.00 clock till 20.00 clock.

This is a relatively small site on a very steep hill. It has been terraced and we were offered the choice to go and find a pitch we liked. The pitches vary in size but we had no problem finding a flat pitch for our camper. You do need to walk up or down to the facilities and water but the views are spectacular.

This place is a total rip-off. Expensive and the staff just want to take your money and can't even give you a smile. The pitch was very small and squashed between families who were spread out. I found all the information and services to be very minimal and unfriendly. They host bus loads of Contiki travellers, I saw some of them coming up to reception asking for information about the easiest way to get into Florence, and they were given the shortest replies possible and didn't even advise the guests which direction to walk to town or that you could purchase bus tickets at reception or point out the bus schedule on the counter. It was more expensive than advertised and definitely overpriced. Toilets far away and up and down steep slopes.

Good site for access to Florence and Pisa sited on a hill the walk from the campsite to the swimming pool was a challenge the bar and restaurant provided good food and drink. We were told by the office staff it can get noisy some times as they have bus loads of 18-35 year old on tour, they stay in the static cabins but in truth we never heard them. The toilets and showers were dated and well used. The water point was at the toilet block so it was a good walk to get water and return was up hill but if we were in the area again I would use the site for a few nights.

Easy campsite to visit Florence. We experienced very wet weather and there were not many sites dry enough to take motor home. We had to be towed out on our departure because of the ground conditions. Staff were helpful, sufficient supermarket & restaurant which seemed to cater for Contiki tours. Be prepared for a steep walk from bottom to campsite. Good access to Florence.
