"A very well maintained campsite with good amenities and a bustling friendly atmosphere on the whole. The only downside is beyond the control of the campsite and was the bus service into central Florence. Appalling service with infrequent and misleading times. Overall other than the logistics of going to central Florence I would recommend the campsite highly"
