Fancy waking beneath oak trees, then wandering into one of Tuscany's most famous medieval towns before lunch? Camping Boschetto di Piemma puts you remarkably close to San Gimignano while keeping the atmosphere deliciously green and peaceful. The campsite sits on a wooded ridge just 2.5 km from the town, surrounded by vineyards, olive groves and classic Tuscan countryside.
The accommodation choice is nicely flexible: mobile homes, pitches for caravans, motorhomes and tents, plus rooms. There is a restaurant and pizzeria serving Tuscan and Italian dishes, a bar, small shop facilities, playground, three tennis courts, beach volleyball and Wi-Fi in the common areas. The campsite also lies directly on the Via Francigena, making it particularly attractive for walkers and cycling enthusiasts.
What about swimming? Here is the useful insider detail: the pool is not owned by the campsite, but the neighbouring municipal swimming complex is available to campsite guests free of charge during its summer opening period. It includes an adult pool, children's pool, hydromassage area and a landscaped solarium. Swimming caps are compulsory.
Is it ideal for families? Yes, especially families who want culture and countryside rather than a huge resort-style holiday park. Younger children have a playground and pool, while older children can enjoy tennis and outdoor activities. For parents, the real attraction is the location: San Gimignano, Siena, Florence, Volterra and Pisa are all within reach.

Click to enlargeThe surroundings
Camping Boschetto di Piemma sits in beautiful Tuscan hill country above the Val d'Elsa, surrounded by ancient holm oaks, oak woodland, vineyards and olive groves. The countryside around the campsite is rural, green and unmistakably Tuscan, with rolling hills, farmhouses and winding country lanes. Yet this is not remote Tuscany: the medieval skyline of San Gimignano is just 2.5 km away, with restaurants, cafés, shops and cultural attractions. Within 15 km the landscape gradually opens out towards Poggibonsi and the Elsa valley, where farmland mixes with small towns and historic villages. It is a superb setting for walking, cycling and scenic drives.

Tip from our team
Camping Boschetto di Piemma is one of those Tuscan campsites where choosing the right accommodation position really matters. The site is terraced across a hillside, and some of the lower mobile homes and pitches involve a noticeable climb back towards reception and the main facilities. If you are travelling with a buggy, young children or simply prefer easy access, I would ask for accommodation closer to the upper facilities when possible. Several recent guests specifically highlight the peaceful woodland setting and the excellent location for visiting San Gimignano. For touring guests, the pitches are generally gravel and earth, with plenty of mature trees providing shade. Bring sturdy tent pegs: the ground can be hard. If you are travelling with a large motorhome, check the pitch dimensions and access before arrival rather than assuming every pitch is equally straightforward. The big summer bonus is the municipal swimming pool immediately beside the campsite. Entry is included for camping guests, but remember that a swimming cap is compulsory. The pool complex also has a children's section, hydromassage and a large green solarium, making it an excellent afternoon escape after sightseeing. And here is my favourite tip: leave the car parked and take the bus into San Gimignano. The stop is at the campsite entrance, making a town visit wonderfully simple. For Florence, however, consider driving to a railway station and continuing by train. Finally, reserve time for the campsite restaurant. Recent visitors regularly mention the pizza, Tuscan food, friendly setting and peaceful woodland atmosphere.

FAKE! BE VERY CAREFUL!“First of all, there is NO swimming pool at the campsite. The pool shown in the advertisement is actually a public pool operated through a partnership. What makes this even more misleading is that the very first photo in the listing is the pool, creating the impression that it belongs to the property. This is clearly false advertising. When we raised this issue with the person responsible, instead of taking responsibility, they blamed Booking.com. However, the same misleading information and photos are displayed on their own website. This shows a complete lack of transparency and accountability. Be careful, as these are irresponsible hosts who seem willing to jeopardize other people's vacations with deceptive marketing. On top of that, the access roads within the campsite are extremely narrow, steep, and in poor condition. It is not practical or safe to move around on foot. The accommodation itself was dirty upon arrival, the kitchen utensils appeared poorly cleaned, and there was an unpleasant smell throughout the property. The mattresses were very soft and offered virtually no comfort, making it difficult to get a good night's sleep. The shower had good water pressure, and the air conditioning worked well (although it comes at an additional cost). Unfortunately, that was the only positive aspect of our stay. I absolutely do not recommend this place. There are far better campsites and hotels in the area. Don't make the same mistake we did and be misled by the advertising.”

Idyllic campsite, good location“Very beautiful, idyllic, and quiet campsite. Our mobile home was new, clean, and well-furnished. We felt very comfortable. We were there for 1 week and took various trips into Tuscany. Right next to the campsite there is a public swimming pool (free admission for guests), which we also used daily. The fact that you need a swim cap did not bother us further. (Available at the reception for €2.50) In the mini-shop you can buy fresh ciabatta daily. To some accommodations you have to go up and down some stairs. The location relative to San Gimignano is really great. (30 minutes on foot, a bus also runs) We found it very nice and can really recommend the campsite or the mobile homes.”
