- Michael J.September 2024AdvantagesLocation with beautiful view, nice staff, nice pool area.NegativesNoneFantastic locationThe location is a dream, this is how you imagine a vacation in Tuscany. Florence, Lucca and Pisa can be reached quickly by car. In the city about 4 km super shopping facilities. The site is located above the town on a hillside. The approach urgently choose according to the description of the campsite, then with a trailer no problem. Sanitary facilities unfortunately getting on in years, but clean.Automatically translated.

- Birgit J.September 2022AdvantagesVery friendly and helpful owners, very beautiful surroundings, campsite is laid out in terraces with fantastic views from the upper pitches, two swimming pools (also always clean), sanitary facilities suitably equipped and always clean, ecologically sustainable electricity generation, waste separation throughout the campsite, all in all, the campsite is very well run by very friendly and helpful owners, great attention is paid to cleanliness, dogs are allowed (and even free of charge) but must be kept on a lead and of course they are not allowed to do their business on the site, there is a dog run area.Negativesnonebeautifully situated, very familiar and well-managed campsiteVery nice, terraced campsite, situated above Montecatini Terme in an olive grove. Don't take the route suggested by the satnav via Montecatini Alto, we took the route via Nievole with our caravan and had no problems.
On the top terrace there is a large swimming pool, also suitable for children, and... a campsite. The view from the upper front terrace pitches is gigantically beautiful, but the pitches there are smaller and not suitable for larger caravans and motorhomes. The lower pitches are large enough and some of them have bathrooms for hire.
The campsite has a small supermarket (which was already closed during our stay) and there is a restaurant on site. The sanitary facilities are functional and were always clean during our stay and were cleaned daily. The small swimming pool was also very clean.
There are all kinds of city trips on offer: Florence, Pisa, Lucca, Siena, San Gimignano etc. To the thyr. It's not too far to Livorno and then continue along the coastal road. My personal highlight was Siena, you absolutely have to visit Siena.
The only downside for me personally was, of course, not the campsite's fault, cycling or hiking is basically possible in this area, but you don't really want to do it there because of the infrastructure. There are no cycle paths or hiking trails, only the sometimes very narrow roads are available, and you don't want to walk or cycle there, given the speedy driving style of the Italians...
The atmosphere on the campsite was relaxed, quiet, friendly and very pleasant. The owners were always friendly, courteous and very helpful. We are happy to recommend the CPAutomatically translated. - Bernd W.April 2022AdvantagesA dream in spring, when everything is green. A great view and a nice team.NegativesPool was still closed.Spring in TuscanyWe were there for a few days with a caravan in April 2022 and went on excursions in the surrounding area. The campsite is on a slope and you have a great view of the valley and the surrounding hills.
The arrival was also unproblematic with a 7.5m WW and the pitch was also easy to reach. The team on site... was very friendly, the store had fresh, tasty bread rolls and everything else you need. The toilets and showers were clean, but it took a while for the water to heat up.
We will definitely go back again.Automatically translated. - Matthias S.April 2022Advantages- Great view - Nice staff - Perfect location for exploring TuscanyNegatives- Nothing to complain aboutEaster vacation to enjoyStayed with the caravan on the 1st terrace for a week at Easter 2022. Very nice overall! Access from the highway a bit tricky, but actually well signposted. One wrong turn, well, we were a bit lost. Don't follow the sat nav! One phone call to the campsite and we were back on the right track. The staff... speak excellent German, you can hardly get your vacation Italian across ;-) After arriving, we took a walk around the site, where we could book private wash houses downstairs and a view upstairs. We opt for the first terrace. Quite busy over the Easter period, but plenty of free spaces. We couldn't get up to the second terrace with the camper van, but were warned in advance. In summer, the upper parts with a further pool are also open, but that's only for camping or for the VW bus. Pitches are not overly large, certainly an issue when fully occupied. Sanitary facilities downstairs a bit older but totally OK, upstairs newer and a bit better. We used both. Store only opened from Easter Monday, but was no problem. Bread could have been bought in the restaurant. The restaurant serves good Tuscan cuisine (no pizza!), the appetizer plate for 2 a poem. The pool downstairs was also open, but too fresh for hot showers like me. ASCI was accepted. WLAN costs extra, not particularly efficient, so be warned if you need it. We will be back, great base for exploring Tuscany by car or train (50 minutes to Florence, frequent connections).Automatically translated.
- Thomas E.September 2020Advantages2 pools, very friendly staff, well-kept groundsNegativeslong way to the upper pool, Access roads very narrow and steepBeautiful place in a great locationA very nice place. The pitches are large enough and well maintained. The reception is very friendly.
The upper pool is mainly used by parents with small children. There is a children's pool here. There is also a small bar for drinks.
The lower pool has deep water and is good for swimming.
You can get to the town quickly by bike (a little steep back again)
We felt very comfortable.Automatically translated. - Alexandra S.July 2018AdvantagesThe upper campsite is beautiful, nice pool area.NegativesUncharming and impersonal. Some of the sanitary facilities no longer up to date. Maybe someone will invent colorful toilet paper?A 50:50 place, nice view, but impersonalThis place is difficult to describe. We arrived spontaneously and were led to believe that it was full and that the allocated pitch was the only one. Unfortunately, this is where what I mean by 50.50 space begins. If you are traveling with a tent or campervan, you can go to the higher terraces, which... are really beautiful. There is also a very nice pool area. With a caravan or camper van, you are restricted to the lower pitches. Some of these have their own bathroom cabin, which can be booked for 7 euros. Definitely a good thing for families with small children. However, there are very few beautiful pitches with a view in this area and you are simply cramped between other campers. There are a few pitches that have a nice view and we moved when we asked where there was suddenly still space. We then stood with a very nice view. Unfortunately, it is very annoying when you have the feeling that you have to fill the unattractive places first and then, when you almost want to leave, something is still free. The view and the upper pool area were the only nice things about the campsite for us. The sanitary blocks are of different ages, the one we had was simply no longer of an acceptable standard. The washbasins are right in front of the toilets and brushing your teeth while... well. There is no toilet paper, despite the hefty price you have to pay, and no toilet seats. And whoever says, like in the old days! To which I reply: Back then, all the fun only cost a fraction of what you have to pay now. Unfortunately, the place also feels very anonymous. You hardly see any staff and when you do, they hardly say hello. There is no supervision at the pool and so sometimes adult couples were playing with wooden tennis rackets in the baby pool area or teenagers were throwing balls across the lower pool from one side to the other. I have children myself, so I can put up with a lot, but that was too much for me. The site can probably be heaven on earth for a couple with a tent at the top, but with a caravan in the lower area, standing normally in the middle, it's just dreary. Getting here with a caravan is also not easy, as the roads are very narrow and you have to drive through Montecatini and then up the mountain. But it can be done.Automatically translated.

- Werner K.April 2016AdvantagesBeautifully situated, quiet, clean, ideal for sightseeing.NegativesSanitary facilities: Small showers without splash protection, no paper in the toilets, expensive internet.A beautifully situated campsiteA beautiful and quiet campsite with a fantastic view of the surrounding hills, laid out in steps with large and small pitches. The pitches are mostly separated by small hedges, although there is one part of the site where each pitch has its own sanitary block. Here, however, the plots are not separated... by hedges. Each pitch has an electricity connection. There are water taps about every 50-80 m along the access road. There are also two nice swimming pools. The sanitary facilities are clean and simple, but also dated. The shower cubicles are small and without splash protection. The amount of water (noted in the ladies' showers) is sometimes very low. A lot still needs to be done. The sanitary facilities received a high rating in the ADAC, which we cannot agree with. It's new to us that you get a high rating if you don't have washing cubicles in the main sanitary building. Very friendly and helpful staff. It is expensive if you want to use the internet. It costs €2 for one hour, €8 for 5 hours, etc. .................................................................................... Care should be taken when approaching the campsite. As already described in the ADAC, most navigation systems navigate to the campsite on narrow and impassable roads. In the end, you end up with a driving ban for motorhomes/caravans. This is what happened to us, as we let our NEW Garmin Camper 760LMT-D guide us, despite correctly entering the mass of the caravan. So we had to turn around here under difficult conditions and then drove according to the ADAC's instructions. However, we only found the signs to Camping Belsito in the center of Montecatini Terme (brown sign with white lettering), which then led us to the site without any problems. So it is advisable to drive from the freeway exit into the center, where you will see the signs. We have been here long enough and now know the road conditions around the campsite very well and next time I would choose a different approach to the campsite, which is much nicer and easier, but a few kilometers (4km) further. From the Montecatini Terme exit, turn right eastwards towards Pieve a Nievole and Ponte di Serravalle. There you drive over a stone bridge and immediately afterwards the road turns left and then immediately left again to Nievole. Here the road is somewhat narrower for a short stretch of about 200 m, but you can see far ahead and there are several passing places for oncoming traffic. In the village, take the 3rd exit at the traffic circle and continue to the next fork in the road. Take a sharp left here and head uphill towards Montecatini Alto. This uphill road is wide and well maintained and you will reach the campsite without any problems worth mentioning. If you are driving up from Montecatini Terme, there are a few narrow stretches and it is difficult to drive past because of the parked cars in the village.Automatically translated.

Montecatini Alto within walking distance with views down the valley to Montecatini Therme. Beautiful hiking routes through olive groves and Tuscan countryside.

- Christian P.August 2015AdvantagesLocationSimply great if you don't need a beach.We've been there twice now and will be going again. This is the campsite to visit Florence and Lucca. But you can just relax and do nothing and enjoy the view into the distance from the pool.Automatically translated.

- Roland H.September 2013The approach is not easy, but those who are used to mountain roads will have no problem. Wonderful location. Super pitches, especially those with their own sanitary facilities! Also great for tents. Reception is great, everyone makes an effort, is friendly and most speak German. 80% of the guests were... Dutch - great. The restaurant is very good. The supermarket leaves a lot to be desired. Fresh bread no problem. Unfriendly market operator, but he speaks German. The campsite is a great starting point for exploring Tuscany.Automatically translated.

- Emmy v.June 2013Some sites have private sanitary facilities. The regular plumbing is a bit old. The campground is ideal for visiting the old towns in Tuscany. You can take the train from Montecatini to Florence. Getting to the campsite by caravan is a bit difficult. Follow the camping signs and not the TomTom! This was for us the first campsite where wifi was really good. You pay per minute and the signal is very strong.Automatically translated.
