Rome, Rome, Italy
Fully-serviced concrete and grass site
Liked Peaceful. Trees gave some welcome shade from the summer sun. Beautiful setting. Very close to park and ride) for the train into the center of Rome. Train journey was about 35mins and cost around a euro per person.
Disliked Reception is at the bottom of a hill, no place to easily turn around with a caravan. Map provided by reception seems to bare no resemblance to the actual site layout - its certainly unclear. This is problematic as the roadways are narrow, have some tight bends with ditches, walls and other lovely obstacles designed to scrape your van, one is a particular highlight for those who like a challenge - sharp bend with walls leading to a steep pothole-ridden track.
Pool is not free, nor is it subsidised for paying guests and frankly seemed expensive. Toilets were generally dirty and fairly dilapidated.
To be honest, we were encouraged to view the site and resources before we handed over any cash as "refunds were not possible", there seemed to be genuine surprise that anyone would want to stay there, which should have rang alarm bells. We were only there for a few nights to break up our trip home so trying to find somewhere else wasn't really something we wanted to do. It was sufficient for our needs as we used our own loo and shower BUT I would not describe it as value for money or a cheap option.
It could be so nice, it is a real shame it has become quite run down. I'd say its stuck in a really difficult position of needing people to stay to get money to invest in up dating, etc. but is forced to almost encourage people not to stay rather than deal with complaints.

Powered grass and earth site
Liked The site is beautiful, quiet, peaceful and is not over crowded. Really relaxing (once you get here!) and a great place to camp with children. The owners are truly wonderful, friendly and helpful. Rescuing us when I managed to put one caravan wheel in a small ditch trying to navigate their narrow gate, was not your typical welcome, but was very gratefully received none the less!
Disliked The pitchup information is inaccurate and misleading in saying it is suitable for caravans - it really isn't. One way to the site takes you through a beautiful, small medieval town, complete with narrow streets and narrow gateways. The other, requires a left-hand bend so acute that some physics-defying time distortion is needed to get round. Once/if you make it you are faced with another narrow entranceway with the afore mentioned ditches to either side of the lane. I'm now about to leave so depending on how it goes we may still be here when you arrive! The one is purely on a "for caravans" basis.
