Italy by Motorhome: Roads, Parking and Travel Tips

Planning a motorhome trip to Italy? In this episode, Motorhome Matt and Keith discover what it is really like to tour Italy by motorhome or campervan, with Mark Bonito from Vanlife Eats sharing the food, roads, parking, campsites and travel tips he picked up on his journey through Tuscany, Puglia, the Amalfi Coast and Sicily. Italy sounds like the dream, doesn’t it? Beautiful mountain roads, proper pasta, vineyard stopovers, coastal views and gelato worth walking suspiciously far for. But what is it actually like when you arrive in a long-wheelbase van? How easy is it to avoid ZTL zones? Where can you park near cities like Florence, Bologna and Bari? And are Italian roads really as lively as their reputation suggests? Mark shares practical advice from his Italian road trip, including how to use sostas, why agriturismos can be a brilliant option for motorhomes, how to spot tourist-trap food, and why autumn might be one of the best times to visit Italy in a van.  To see Mark's travels, head to his channel here: 🍝 https://www.youtube.com/c/VanLifeEats/ We also reveal the winner of our Vanlove 2026 ticket giveaway and how you can still save on tickets.
