location

We were not told about the toilet block being constructed with workmen being on site during the early hours. Refuse bins at the entrance to the park in front of the view of the lake rather strange!

Relaxed, very close to the lake. Friendly staff.

–

The showers and toilets were good and clean. Good sized swimming pool

Pitches very close together and the sire was too crowded and too noisy

Close to the lake, lovely restaurant opposite, great pool, open space to play, friendly authentic Italian atmosphere, dogs v welcome

Toilet block a bit dated, the pool shuts between 12 & 3pm which was annoying,

Lovely pool. Large pitches. Right near the lake.

Needing own toilet roll...

- friendly personal
- tent pitch
- the view and location of the camping
- close 2 bars and eating places
- hygiene of the camping

- the sanitary block is being renewed @ the lake view pritches, so it was partially open and the showers had only cold streaming water (in the hot weather we had, it wasn't a problem 4 me and my 11 yrs old son).
- 4 washing the dishes you needed 2 walk 2 the back off the check in office (because of the te renewal of the sanitary block).
- no shop with small things or food on the camping site, no problem if you've got transportation, there are supermarkets close-by and shop in the street with batting things and restaurants on the lake walks 😎

Right on the edge of the lake, own pool is lovely. Great atmosphere

–

The size, level and shadiness of the pitches were great. The atmosphere was lovely and homely - everyone was extremely welcoming. The site has excellent proximity to the lake, with a nice beach and bar just outside the gates. We stayed during a severe storm and the staff came and checked on us as soon as the worst was over, even though it was the middle of the night. We would recommend this campsite to anyone!

Nothing!

The Swimming Pool, which was open 10am to 12:30 then 3:30pm to 7pm. It was a good size and quite popular though there were times it was quieter which was lovely. The Showers and wash facilities were clean and adequate (just remember you need your own loo roll) We were given a large level pitch in the shade as requested.
Good wi-fi

Lack of restaurants, bars etc in the area. There are a couple of pizza restaurants and an ice cream/gelato shop. That’s it. Nearest supermarket about 10 min drive.

We now think that we made a mistake booking this site as we did not realise that the vast majority of pitches seem to be permanent fixtures and are holiday homes for Italians - as a consequence there is a different atmosphere- and tourists seem a bit like second rate citizens. There is a lot of oafish behaviour from teens and children, who have holiday homes at the site, at night time between about 7:30pm and 11pm/midnight when they run riot around the site, especially the swimming pool area, shouting out and making really excessive amounts of noise, chasing each other, falling over tent guy ropes etc. We were quite shocked that this was never once tackled in the 6 nights of our stay. It was obviously usual behaviour for these residents, Added to that there is an insane amount of noise from ‘entertainment’ on other neighbouring sites which also went on until about midnight. This seemed to range between very poor Karaoke, to untalented local singers. There was no chance at all of having a peaceful evening and my husband had to resort to using headphones every night to drown it out. Not exactly the chillax we had hoped for.

We did not realise that there is no port where we were staying, despite lakeside location and it’s about a 12 min drive to nearest port to use ferry to travel round the lake.

On arrival we experienced a total lack of interest from the lady who booked us in and no information at all was provided on arrival.
