What if your Tuscan family holiday came with three thermal swimming pools, a medieval village and some of Italy's most beautiful countryside? That is the appeal of Camping Parco delle Piscine in Sarteano. Set at around 573 metres above sea level, this four-star camping village sits directly beside the village, between the Val di Chiana and Val d’Orcia.
The star attraction is undoubtedly the variety of swimming pools. Three outdoor pools are fed continuously by the Santa Lucia thermal spring at approximately 24°C, with no recycled water. There are two 33 x 15-metre pools, including a waterfall pool and a campers-only pool, plus a 20 x 12-metre children's pool with slides.
Is it suitable for children? Absolutely. Younger children have their own pool and playground, while older children can enjoy tennis, football, basketball, volleyball, table tennis and the summer entertainment programme. Parents will appreciate the restaurant, bar, spacious green areas and exceptionally convenient village location.
The campsite is particularly good for families with children aged 3–14, but it also suits families who want culture and relaxation rather than a large, noisy holiday resort. The campsite scores high for scenic location, cleanliness and facilities, while the campsite's position makes it easy to walk into Sarteano for restaurants, artisinal bakeries and light shopping.

Surroundings
Within 10 km, Camping Parco delle Piscine lies among rolling Tuscan hills between the Val di Chiana and Val d’Orcia. Sarteano’s countryside combines wooded slopes, vineyards, olive groves, cypress-lined fields and broad green valleys. The campsite itself is a landscaped green oasis, while the surrounding hills rise towards Monte Cetona, creating classic Tuscan scenery in every direction.
“My biggest tip is simple: don't treat Parco delle Piscine merely as a base for sightseeing. The swimming pool park is one of the reasons to stay here. The three thermal pools are supplied directly by the Santa Lucia spring, with water around 24°C, and the combination of the waterfall pool, children's slides and large lawns gives families plenty of space to spread out. The pool complex is open daily from 09:00 to 19:00 during the 2026 season.
If you are travelling with children, head for the slide pool earlier in the day, then move to the larger pool when you want more relaxed swimming. Swimming caps are compulsory in the pools, so pack them before leaving home.
For touring guests, we recommend asking about the larger pitch categories. The spacious grass pitches, many with natural shade and hedges, are one of the property's strongest features. Recent guests particularly praise the generous pitches, cleanliness and peaceful atmosphere.
Another excellent tip is to walk into Sarteano rather than driving. The campsite is unusually close to the village centre, with shops and a supermarket only around 50–150 metres from the entrance. There are also restaurants and a bakery nearby, making an evening without the car very easy.
For day trips, don't over-plan. Choose Montepulciano or Pienza for one day, then dedicate another to the thermal landscape around Bagni San Filippo or Chianciano Terme. If you have older children, Orvieto makes an excellent full-day cultural excursion.
Finally, leave some time simply to enjoy Sarteano itself. The medieval castle, quiet streets and local atmosphere give this holiday a distinctly Tuscan character that large resort-style campsites simply cannot reproduce.”
