Area Sosta La Cantina Del Vino Sas

If you enjoy travelling through Tuscany by motorhome, Area Sosta La Cantina del Vino is a lovely place to add to your itinerary. Located at Via Mario Mazzoni 33 in Barga, this welcoming, family-run motorhome stopover combines a peaceful countryside setting with the pleasure of staying beside a winery. Surrounded by the green landscapes of the Garfagnana valley, it offers an inviting base for exploring northern Tuscany, enjoying local food and discovering the region’s wines. The stopover is open all year round and welcomes guests travelling with pets.

The area offers around 20 motorhome pitches, set on grass, with space to settle in and enjoy the surrounding views. Some pitches have electrical hook-ups, while other areas provide a greener, more shaded setting without electricity. The site is suitable for larger motorhomes, including vehicles over eight metres long, although it is advisable to confirm the best pitch for your vehicle when booking. Water refill and wastewater disposal facilities are available, making this a practical stop for travellers who need to refresh their supplies before continuing their journey.

On-site facilities include toilets, showers, electricity at equipped pitches and free Wi-Fi. Hot showers are available for an additional charge, while cold showers are free. The area also has a washing-up space and a chemical toilet disposal point, helping make everyday campervan life more convenient. With its green surroundings and relaxed atmosphere, the stopover is a pleasant alternative to a large, busy holiday park.

One of the special reasons to stay here is the winery itself. You can arrange a guided wine tasting with local wines paired with typical products from the Garfagnana area. It is a wonderful opportunity to discover regional flavours and learn more about Tuscan wine while enjoying the hospitality of your hosts. The cellar shop also offers wines and local products, including olive oil and other regional specialities, with shipping available on request. Wine tastings should be arranged in advance.

With its combination of motorhome facilities, countryside views and authentic wine experiences, La Cantina del Vino is more than just a place to park for the night. Reserve your pitch and enjoy a memorable stop in Tuscany, with the historic town of Barga just a short walk away.

One of the biggest advantages of staying at La Cantina del Vino is how easy it is to visit Barga’s historic centre on foot. The walk takes approximately five to ten minutes, although the route into the old town includes an uphill section. Once there, explore the medieval lanes, browse local shops and settle into a restaurant or café for a relaxed meal or an Italian coffee. Barga is recognised among Italy’s most beautiful villages and is known for its distinctive architecture, mountain scenery and lively cultural traditions.

Make time to visit the Cathedral of San Cristoforo, which stands above the town and rewards visitors with impressive views across the surrounding mountains. Wandering through Barga’s historic streets is a lovely way to spend an afternoon, with traditional buildings, small squares and places to stop for local food. Restaurants, cafés and shops are available in town, so you can leave your motorhome at the stopover and explore without needing to drive into the centre.

For literature lovers, the Casa Museo Giovanni Pascoli in Castelvecchio Pascoli is another worthwhile destination in the area. The museum is dedicated to the Italian poet Giovanni Pascoli, who lived and worked in this part of Tuscany. Check opening hours before visiting, as access may vary by season.

Nature lovers can use Barga as a starting point for exploring the Garfagnana valley, with its mountain landscapes, villages and outdoor routes. The Grotta del Vento, a well-known cave attraction in the wider region, is another option for a day trip. If you are driving a large motorhome, check the route carefully before setting out, as some roads in the area can be narrow.

For a longer excursion, Lucca is approximately 40 km away, making it a rewarding day trip by car. Explore its Renaissance city walls, historic churches, towers and lively piazzas before enjoying a meal in the old town. If you fancy a day by the sea, the Versilia coast is also within reach by car, although the journey will take longer than a trip into Barga or Lucca.

Whether you prefer village walks, mountain scenery, wine tasting or historic towns, this part of Tuscany offers plenty to discover. Stay a little longer and make La Cantina del Vino your base for exploring Barga and the surrounding Garfagnana region.

Area Sosta La Cantina del Vino is open 365 days a year, so it can be a useful stop in every season. The atmosphere and surrounding scenery change throughout the year, and staying outside the busiest summer months can be an appealing way to discover Barga at a more relaxed pace. The number of available pitches and the best parking options may vary, so booking ahead is recommended during high season and the Bargascot Festival in September.

Additional charges may apply for extra people, pets, trailers, extra electricity and tourist tax. The listed pet fee is €3 per animal per night, with a maximum of two pets per pitch. Children aged six and under are listed as staying free, while a charge applies to older children. Prices may change during high season and local events, so confirm the total before arrival.

Electricity is available at equipped pitches, with the standard overnight rate covering the listed pitch and two adults. Additional electricity is charged separately where applicable. Water refill and wastewater disposal are available, and Wi-Fi is free. Toilets and cold showers are available without an extra charge, while hot showers require payment. As the shower price is not consistent across all published information, check the current fee with the host when you arrive.

Pets are welcome, but dogs should be kept on a lead in shared areas. If you need an electrical hook-up, have a particularly long motorhome or prefer a shaded pitch, mention this when making your reservation so the host can advise on availability. Reservations are not always compulsory, but they are recommended, especially during busy periods.

If you would like to take part in a wine tasting, arrange it with the hosts in advance. Tastings can include local wines and regional food pairings, and you can also purchase wines and local products at the cellar. This is a highlight worth planning into your stay, particularly if you enjoy discovering local traditions.

Before setting off, confirm the final price, the availability of an electrical pitch and any additional services you need. With Barga within walking distance, useful camper facilities and a winery on site, La Cantina del Vino is a particularly appealing stop for travellers looking to combine practical motorhome travel with the flavours and scenery of Tuscany.
