Local area

This is the charming village where our campsite is located. In just 15 minutes on foot you’ll find yourself in the centre of Camporgiano, where you’ll find everything you need: a supermarket, bakery, launderette, pharmacy and several cosy restaurants.

On Friday and Saturday evenings, it’s especially nice to stop by the wine bar on the village square for a drink.

Just a 10-minute drive from the campsite lies the main town of the Garfagnana — the lively heart of the region. It’s a wonderful place where locals from surrounding villages do their daily shopping and where there is always something happening.

Every Thursday, the centre transforms into a cheerful maze of market stalls during the traditional weekly market, held here since 1430.

Perched high on the hill between Lucca and Castelnuovo di Garfagnana lies one of Italy’s most beautiful villages: the artist town Barga. Famous for its creative atmosphere, it boasts several galleries showcasing the work of local and international artists. The impressive cathedral overlooking the valley is absolutely worth a visit.

Barga is also home to wonderful restaurants serving delicious Tuscan dishes. And if you visit in July, you can experience the renowned Barga Jazz Festival, when live bands fill every corner of the town — a lively event you’ll never forget.

A visit to Barga feels like a journey through art, culture and true Italian charm.

Over the years we’ve fallen a little in love with this city… Lucca offers that rare mix of charm, tranquillity and vibrancy. The atmosphere is wonderfully relaxed, and because the centre is largely car-free, it feels like wandering through an open-air museum. Between the picturesque streets you’ll find countless shops, terraces and restaurantsmand throughout the year many cultural events are held.

Lucca is also the birthplace of Giacomo Puccini, and his music lives on here. Beautiful Puccini concerts are played regularly in various churches — highly recommended.

And the best part? You can travel to Lucca extremely easily by train from our campsite. The station is located right next to the property, so you can reach the city centre without stress or parking hassle.

Visiting in June or July? Then you’ll witness the iconic Lucca Summer Festival, when the world’s biggest artists perform live on the city’s central square. An unforgettable experience.

A visit to the Cinque Terre is an experience you’ll never forget. The five colourful villages built into the cliffs above the bright blue sea look almost unreal. Narrow streets, spectacular hiking trails and picture-perfect viewpoints — this is Tuscany and Liguria at their finest.

The Cinque Terre are also very easy to reach by train from the campsite. Travel comfortably along the coast and use a day ticket to hop on and off wherever you like; no crowds, no traffic and no searching for parking.

A day trip to the Cinque Terre feels like a mini-holiday within your holiday.

A true must-see. There’s little more that needs to be said; Florence speaks entirely for itself.

And the best part: you can reach Florence just as easily by train from the campsite. No traffic, no parking stress — simply board the train and arrive straight in the heart of the city. Perfect for a day filled with art, culture and Tuscan charm.
