Hu Firenze Certosa Camping in Town
This campsite near Florence offers a convenient base for exploring the city, with a free shuttle service to the bus stop and regular buses reaching the center in about ten minutes. Travelers can easily obtain timetables and tickets at reception, making public transport accessible even on weekends. The location is ideal for visiting Florence, just a 15-minute drive or a pleasant bike ride from the city center. Nestled on a hill, the setting provides peaceful surroundings despite its proximity to the city. Guests appreciate the pleasant atmosphere and well-maintained environment in some areas. The swimming pool and bar add to the recreational facilities, making stays more enjoyable. The on-site minimarket is well-stocked with essentials, and fresh bread is available in the mornings. Campers can access a good number of showers and toilets, though opinions on cleanliness vary. Many visitors note that the sanitary facilities are outdated and show signs of wear, such as rusty fittings and missing grout. Uneven pitches are common, and the overall maintenance of the grounds could use improvement. Some reports mention a lack of care in certain areas, which appear neglected. Service at reception is generally described as helpful and friendly. The restaurant serves good food, contributing to a positive dining experience. The campsite has undergone extensive renovations in recent years, resulting in modern and spotlessly clean sanitary facilities. The large swimming pool is a highlight, especially for children, though it is shallow. A well-stocked supermarket offers reasonable prices and a good selection of products. Staff are repeatedly described as friendly, helpful, and professional. However, the site is set on a hillside with multiple levels, posing challenges for those with mobility issues due to steep slopes and long distances between pitches and facilities. Pitch surfaces are largely gravel or crushed debris, which can be uncomfortable for tents and damage gear. Some pitches are sloped, making leveling motorhomes difficult, and narrow internal roads add to maneuvering challenges. The site has ongoing construction in parts, which can detract from the experience. Noise levels vary, with some reports of traffic at night. The pool area can become crowded, and low water pressure in showers is a common complaint. Despite these drawbacks, its proximity to Florence and efficient shuttle service make it a practical choice for short stays. A major recurring issue is the extreme muddiness across the grounds during wet weather, which can turn paths into a messy ordeal. The combination of location, price, and spotless amenities makes it a popular choice for exploring Florence on a budget.
