In-Depth Information
August. Note that some places offer an all-inclusive price, while others charge separately for each person,
tent, vehicle and/or campsite. Typical high-season prices range from €10 to €20 per adult, up to €12 for chil-
dren under 12, and from €5 to €25 for a site.
Italian campgrounds are generally set up for people travelling with their own vehicle, although some are
accessible by public transport. In the major cities, grounds are often a long way from the historic centres.
Most but not all have space for RVs. Tent campers are expected to bring their own equipment, although a
few grounds offer tents for hire. Many also offer the alternative of bungalows or even simple, self- con-
tained (self-catering) flats. In high season, some only offer deals for a week at a time.
Major bookshops also sell the annual Campeggi e Villaggi turistici (Camping and Holiday Villages,
€14.90), a list of Italian, Corsican, French, Spanish and Croatian camp grounds published by Touring Club
Italiano (TCI).
Lists of campgrounds are available from local tourist offices or online:

FARMHOUSE HOLIDAYS
Live out your bucolic fantasies at one of Italy's growing number of agriturismi (farm-stays). A long-
booming industry in Tuscany and Umbria, farm-stays are spreading across the country like freshly
churned butter. While all agriturismi are required to grow at least one of their own products, the farm-
stays themselves range from rustic country houses with a handful of olive trees to elegant country es-
tates with sparkling pools, to fully functioning farms where guests can pitch in.
To find lists of agriturismi , ask at any tourist office or check online at one of these sites:
