Camping in Italy

It goes without saying that some of Italy’s greatest attractions lie in its cities. Roman ruins and Renaissance art and architecture are startlingly abundant, not to mention the excellent cuisine. But there are many other reasons to go camping in Italy. The north has some beautiful beaches, both around the Lakes and bordering the Adriatic Sea. Cavallino is a great place for a family holiday with its long stretch of golden sand (with Blue Flag status) and close proximity to Venice. The Lakes combine small and often secluded beaches with a stunning mountain backdrop, making for active holidays.

Italy is also a wine connoisseur’s paradise, with its astonishing variety of wines. From the light, fruity Proseccos and Verdecchios to the bold Valpolicellas and Montepulcianos, there’s quite literally something to suit every palate. A meal with wine matching is an opportunity not to be missed.
