A first class holiday village with fabulous pools, in the heart of the Chianti wine region of Tuscany.

Norcenni is a beautiful parc with a hillside setting offering lovely views. The parc’s excellent facilities include a pool complex with lazy river, a large pool with waterslide, covered pool, tennis courts and a health club. Old stone farm buildings house two rustic-style restaurants, a popular bar and supermarket right in the heart of the parc. Because there is no road access to the small pitches, parking areas are provided elsewhere. Some of our accommodation is set on steep terraces.

Attractions

Parco di Pinocchio

The park of Pinocchio could not have been set anywhere other than in Collodi. The author adopted this village for his surname after spending most of his childhood here. Established over a span of 30 years, the park is far from being a traditional theme park, rather it is a creation of fantasy endowed with unique charm. Stroll along the paths and experience a living story amid unspoilt pearls of nature blended with beautiful art.

Pistoia Zoo

A few kilometres away from the centre of Pistoia, immersed in the hillside is this 75,000 square metre zoo. One of the most interesting zoological gardens in Italy both because of its position and the number of species gathered. Over 600 animals from around the globe including flamingos, llamas, camels, tigers, elephants, hippos and bears. There is also an area where children can touch the animals such as goats and rabbits.
