Top tips for your Campervan trip to Tuscany

The best time to hire a campervan in Tuscany is either side of the primary summer season. This is only because it's busy all year round but extremely busy in the summer. 

• 

  Driving

  Even though it's a dream to drive around Tuscany in a campervan, it also comes with restrictions. This is partly because many older cities and towns are tiny, making driving challenging. Another is because a lot of the historical city centres have ZTL (Limited Traffic Zones)

• 

  Family Friendly-Activities

  Outside Siena is Parco Avventura Il Gigante, a treetop adventure park with zip lines and climbing courses. Pinocchio Park in Collodi is a fairytale experience in which the famous story of Pinocchio was written. And, of course, Italy is renowned for its ice cream, with a famous one being San Gimignano, which has won many awards.

• 

  The Outdoors

  The Maremma coastline has wild, sandy stretches perfect for campervan hire in Tuscany, and Elba Island is a short ferry ride away if you want to explore a bit further. Saturnia is where you’ll find natural hot springs with steaming blue pools that are free to enjoy.

Best Campervan routes from Tuscany

Florence to Val d’Orcia
The chances are when you rent a campervan in Tuscany, you will be picking up from near Florence, so this route starts there. Stock up on supplies and head south towards Chianti (where the wines are from). Stop at a local vineyard and pick up a bottle or two. Take a slight detour to Siena and visit the Piazza del Campo (the famous cathedral). After that, it's time to head to Val d’Orcia and check out the picture-perfect views around you.

Lucca to Cinque Terre
Start in Lucca, which we think is one of Tuscany’s best (and underrated) cities. Rent a bike, cycle along the city walls and grab some local food before hitting the coast. Take the scenic route west through Pisa (stop for the leaning tower photo) before heading towards the cliffs of Cinque Terre. Spend the day wandering through Vernazza, Riomaggiore and Manarola, where colourful houses cling to the cliffs.

Siena to Maremma
For a campervan trip off the beaten track, rent a motorhome in Tuscany and head from Siena down into the Maremma region, which is Tuscany’s wilder, more rugged side. Stop at San Gimignano, which we have mentioned before, with its famous towers and some of the best gelato in Italy. Then carry on into Maremma. Some towns to check out in the area in your campervan are Pitigliano and Castiglione della Pescaia, where you can park up your campervan by the sea.

Sites of interest and excursions in Tuscany

San Gimignano
Its famous towers once belonged to feuding families trying to outdo each other (because, apparently, building the tallest tower was the medieval version of showing off). Today, 14 still stand, giving the town a unique skyline. Have a walk through the historic streets and courtyards. Before you leave, climb Torre Grossa, the tallest of the towers, for fantastic views of the Tuscan countryside.

Pisa & The Leaning Tower
When you pick up your camper van for hire in Tuscany, you will likely want to grab your picture pretending you are holding up the leaning tower, but theres so much more to Pisa than that. Take a walk along the Arno River - this is where Pisa’s quieter, more local side comes to life with its colourful buildings, charming cafes, and it shows you a part of Pisa that most tourists miss.

Val d’Orcia
Have you ever seen those postcards of Italy with the classic rolling hills, winding roads and golden fields? The chances are it was taken in Val d'Orcia. It's an area between Siena and Montepulciano often referred to as peak Tuscany. It's a great place to drive around in your campervan. Stop at Pienza, a tiny town known for pecorino chees,e or Montepulciano, which has some of the best wine in the region.
