We present our beloved Vhippie, a Volkswagen T4 van, available for a minimum stay of two nights.
It is located in Pian del Voglio, exactly half an hour by highway from both Bologna and Florence. This location is near the Via Degli Dei and the Via della Futa, in the heart of the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines, making it an excellent starting point for easily visiting both Tuscany and Emilia Romagna.
Vhippie is a 2000 model van, equipped with a reliable 1900 cm³ turbodiesel engine that will allow you to get anywhere without problems. Being extremely compact, it is very easy to drive, even for first-time van lifers. Furthermore, as it is only 4.7m long and equipped with power steering, it can be driven and parked in city centers (in the same spaces used by cars and with the same costs).
It's a van with a retro flavor but with the reliability and efficiency of a more modern vehicle. Maintained with great care and entirely self-converted by us, here are its main features:
