Tour to Italy 2024

Area sosta de camper: Viale dei Filosofi, 56048 Volterra PI, Italy 15 euros/24 hrs
The Italian weather forecasters are as bad as the English, heavy rain forecast all day! Well no rain to speak of just warm hazy sunshine. The guide book said Volterra was not touristy so sounded a good choice. The car park instructions in Volterra were explicit for 7m motorhomes.......Do NOT approach from the east......so which way did we come from .?......the east of course. A three point turn later on a hair pin bend coupled with a hill start like no other got us out of that mess.
All the car parks in this non touristy town were heaving, we managed to secure a place at lunchtime, the last one at the time. In between a walking tour of the town ( up a lot of steps) we have managed to see the sights. One interesting fact is the main fortress is now used as a maximum security prison , no tunnelling out possible from those 13th century stone walls.Läs mer
