What is Agricampeggio?
Agricampeggio is a type of camping where you get a pitch directly from the farmer, winemaker or rural restaurant. You can get a parking space directly on the property for little money and have toilets, electricity and water use included. With this type of camping you get even more of the Italian lifestyle and are often completely alone.
Between the vineyards in the caravan or mobile home, let the sun and the mooing of the animals slowly wake you up and drink a locally produced wine in the evening.
Farm camping in Tuscany
Because that is exactly what Agricamping (Agricampeggio) promises. Because it is nothing different than camping on a farm.
Of course, not every farm is the same and they shouldn't be. Each farm is designed to surprise you with its own local characteristics. Always in a quiet, protected atmosphere in the countryside. Something for everyone: from cowboys to wellness junkies, everyone can enjoy it Camping live it out on the farm.
Agricampeggio = agricamping
In order to bring the experience closer to you, I'll try to describe it using an example. Maybe then you will understand what I am talking about.
The landscape
Anyone who has already been to Tuscany knows exactly what a unique and breathtaking landscape is waiting for you. And in the middle of it is your caravan. In nature, on a small pitch near a farm.
You can breathe in the fresh air and experience nature much better than on a conventional campsite.
The comfort of a campsite is not lost, however, and electricity, water and sanitary facilities are perfectly designed for the manageable number of pitches.
Activities
On the contrary, you can simply go to the wellness oasis and let yourself go in the Turkish steam bath.
Those who need more activity will quickly get their money's worth in the farm's fitness area or the many trekking routes in the immediate vicinity.
The best way to explore the landscape is by bike, cross-country or along a cycle path.
For those of you who don't have a bike due to lack of space, you can also rent bikes from the local mountain bike club and off you go.
City light pollution sometimes makes you forget how exciting the night sky is. Here everyone can join an astronomy evening and rediscover the love for the night sky.
There is a lot to discover and if you run out of ideas, you can quickly find out about new things by logging into the farm WiFi and drawing up a new plan for the day.
Cities
Tuscany is characterized by its many cities of art. There are many excursion destinations with medieval flair in the immediate vicinity. Anyone traveling by motorhome can visit the art strongholds of the Renaissance - Arezzo, Firenze and Siena – take a closer look. In Arezzo You can round off your trip with a professional guide or a vintage car.
The pilgrimage site of La Verna is also a special destination, which is not only a beautiful postcard motif, but also an interesting place with a great view, right on a cliff.
wines
Pretty much all of Italy is known for its wine and Tuscany even more so. In addition to the usual "Tafel" wine, which you can get pretty much everywhere, there are of course also more special wines made from typical Tuscan grape varieties. From place to place you can take part in a wine tasting. And maybe taste a suitable gift for your colleague's or your mother's birthday. The grape varieties Sangiovese or Tuscan Diva actually convince everyone with their taste.
authenticity
In general, it can be said that a vacation also brings the way of life closer.
You are right among the locals and not locked away in a campsite specially designed for tourists. You are right in the middle of life in Tuscany.
Especially those who come from a big city will enjoy the variety within the quiet and relaxing country life.
After a short walk you will come to a small stand that sells regional products, which you can use to conjure up a unique meal in the camper.
A few words of Italian can quickly result in a nice conversation with the locals and with a bit of luck you will be shown how to traditionally in the communal kitchen
