The best motorhome routes in Italy
Discover Italy by motorhome or campervan
The long boot of Italy is a popular holiday destination for many, but it is best discovered by campervan. You have all the freedom to drive through the beautiful countryside, discover the rich past and visit the mighty old cities. Italy has a very varied landscape, from the mountains and Dolomites in the north, through the vineyards and cypresses of Tuscany to the azure coasts of the south. There are plenty of campsites and caravan sites along the way. Before you leave for Italy with your campervan, it is best to check what the rules are on winter tyres, what markings you need to put on your bicycles and for which cities you need an 'ecopass'.
Below we have selected the most beautiful campervan routes through Italy, which you can use as inspiration for your next campervan trip.
3 beautiful motorhome routes in Italy
Sicily
Sicily has everything for a dream holiday. This Italian island is a melting pot of Italian, Arab and Greek cultures and is best discovered with a motorhome, because there is so much beauty to be seen across the island. We drew a campervan route of 1172 km along panoramic rocky coasts, paradisiacal beaches, impressive archaeological sites, atmospheric towns and unmissable natural beauty. The easiest way is to fly to Sicily and hire a campervan (or car) locally.
Tuscany
Tuscany is perhaps the most popular region in Italy for holidays. We can definitely recommend it, also by motor home. This campervan route takes you along breathtaking views, vineyards, medieval towns, delicious food, cappuccinos, romantic streets and lots of churches, museums and palaces. The route starts in the less known Fosdinovo and takes you via beautiful roads through the Tuscan countryside and national parks to some beautiful cities like Pisa, Lucca, San Gimignano and of course Firenze.
Lazio & Rome
The Italian region of Lazio lies between Tuscany and Naples and is best known for its capital: Rome. Lazio is the cradle of Roman culture. The campervan route takes you past centuries-old villages and castles, stately Roman villas and palaces, beautiful lakes and beaches and a varied nature in a rather quiet and sparsely populated region. You will be as injured as in say, Tuscany, but then without hordes of tourists around you. The campervan route starts at Lake Bolsena and goes via Rome to the white beach village of Sperlonga in the south to the beautiful inland of Sabina.
