A family holiday in Tuscany
Campsites by the sea in Tuscany
Tuscany's coast is made for easy family days: pine forests behind the sand, sea that warms to about 22°C by June, and a pool within reach when the little ones want a change. At Camping Free Beach in Marina di Bibbona, a 450 m stroll through the pines brings you to a sandy Blue Flag beach. Camping Club Del Sole Stella del Mare Family Collection sits directly on the sea, with direct Maremma beach access and a lagoon pool with slides.
On holiday with your dog in Tuscany
Tuscany is a joy with a four-legged travel companion. Pine forests, rolling hills and more than 120 protected nature reserves mean fresh walks every morning, and long sunny evenings suit a slow stroll before dinner. Camping Club Del Sole Viareggio Family Collection welcomes dogs with dog facilities, set among a nature park, pine forest and beach. Camping hu Montescudaio Village does the same, among Mediterranean forest and Tuscan hills, so the whole family can explore together.

Best time to visit Tuscany
May is fresh and quiet at about 24°C inland, though the sea is still a brisk 18°C. June and September hit the sweet spot: 29°C and 27°C by day, a sea of 22°C and 24°C, and lighter crowds. July and August are the hottest, with 32 to 34°C inland and the warmest sea at 25°C; plan sights in the morning and pools in the afternoon. Avoid 11 to 18 August around Ferragosto (15 August 2026), when beaches, car parks and ferries are packed.
Practical tips
- By car: About 1,300 km and 12 hours from Utrecht to central Tuscany, typically via Cologne, Stuttgart, Munich, Innsbruck and the Brenner Pass.
- By plane: Pisa has direct flights from Amsterdam (about 2 hours) and Eindhoven, ideal for Versilia and the Etruscan Coast; Florence suits Chianti.
- Tolls: Germany needs no vignette; Austria requires a vignette (10 days €12.80) plus €12.50 for the Brenner section; Italy charges by distance, with Brenner to Verona about €16.80.
- Shopping: Small shops close from about 12:30 to 15:30, so shop before lunch; supermarkets and tourist areas often stay open.
- Dining: Restaurants serve lunch from 12:00 to about 14:30 and dinner from about 19:00; tourist areas are more flexible.
- City driving: Florence, Pisa and Siena have camera-enforced ZTL zones with fines from €80 per gate, so use a shuttle or park outside.
- Food to try: Ribollita, pici, bistecca alla fiorentina, acquacotta in the Maremma and cantuccini with Vin Santo.
We love Tuscany because it lets families have it all, and our tip is to match the campsite to the mood of your holiday. For a big water park week with teenagers, we point you to Camping hu Norcenni Girasole Village, where five pools, two water parks and a lazy river do the entertaining. For beach days with little ones, Gitavillage Il Gabbiano puts a shallow, sloping sandy shore right by your pitch. If the cities are the draw, Camping Siena Colleverde has a bus connection to the historic centre and a pool for afterwards, and hu Firenze Certosa camping in town runs a shuttle to Florence, which saves you the ZTL fines. Whatever you choose, follow the Tuscan rhythm: sights in the morning, pool or beach in the afternoon, dinner from 19:00 when restaurants open. Book Uffizi tickets in advance, do your shopping before lunch when small shops close, and keep one day free for the Tarot Garden in Capalbio. Our favourite touch? A slow evening of pici and local wine.
