Florence in spring

[Mike_S]

We're hoping to get to Italy next spring with a view to spending some time "doing" Florence. Have spotted Camping Il Poggetto in the Alan Rogers guide.
Any recommendations for sites with easy train/bus connections into Florence would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Mike

We have used this site Camping Panorama (formerly Collliverdie) situated between Florence and Sienna and enjoyed it very much, an extremly helpful owner took lots of intrest in our excursions and had produced his own guides with routes and parking. It is a small and very popular site so it would be wise to ring ahead at least to be be sure of a pitch.The views are fantastic. However it was 12 years ago and things can change maybe others on here have been more recently.
