Camping Village Il Poggetto

Wonderful camp-side, very clean, cozy bungalow, air-condition, kitchen with cooking stuff, fridge, gas cooking panel, shower with boiler (hot water), cafe with terrace, and very friendly and helpful working persons!

We absolutely loved it here and so did our kids! After a heatwave in Sicily and lots of days on the road they really needed a chill and this was the ideal place to do it. We had a static caravan in the small camp so can’t comment on shared facilities as we had our own bathroom. The aircon in ours was great and the beds were comfy. The second bedroom has two singles and a top bunk but it had bars so no risk of a younger child (ours is 6) falling out. The pool is really really great! Kids pool has three little water slides and one that doesn’t go into the water. It has 2 sections. Big pool is massive. Both super clean, nice life guard and we had noticed in a review someone said the pool had every rule you could think of and lots of whistling. To be honest we didn’t experience that at all and the only rule we really saw was wear a hat. Other than that we didn’t see any issues. The animation team are there and they do provide the entertainment they say they do on the schedule but I have definitely seen better (quite often they are dancing on their own) they did do a Zorbing activity which was fab and no extra cost. They also had a foam party but sadly it was day after we left. You can tell they care about their jobs which is the main thing… all staff on this site from reception, to shop, to animation cannot be faulted on their politeness and want to make your holiday the best it can be. Tree houses were lovely, the kids loved them. The food in restaurant wasn’t much to write home about and we ate their one night but had quite a long wait and the meals came out at different times so after that we got takeaways which was better. 35 minutes from Florence is a massive push, both days we did it back and forth was an hour each way. Bus is easy to find, sticks to schedule and €3.50 a go so luckily I don’t think you would ever be stuck and need a taxi as that would cost a fortune. We liked camp shop and didn’t find it too overpriced. Washing machine was 6 euros to use and they gave us detergent for that cost. Didn’t bother with dryer as we had a clothes horse. Lots of lizards on the path but also lots of mosquitos being in a forest and all (maybe that’s just Italy though as we have had them everywhere!) take your Deet!

La pizzeria du camping : a fuir. Nous avons dîné en famille, parents et les 3 enfants. Entre le premier plat servi et le dernier, 2 heures se sont écoulées. Chacun de nous a été servi en decalé par rapport aux autres, nous avons tous les cinq mangé seuls tandis que les autres soient attendaient toujours d’être servis soit avaient déjà terminé depuis longtemps. De plus, le risotto commandé est de piètre qualité, davantage un riz pas cuit noyé dans la sauce qu’un vrai risotto. Et enfin, on vous facture 2 euros supplémentaires par personnes, comme droit d’entrée. Et bien sûr pas un mot d’excuse, on vous explique juste qu’il y avait du monde ce soir. Tiens donc, en plein mois d’août étonnant. Et que pour les 10 euros supplémentaires vous n’aviez qu’à mieux lire en bas du menu les petits caractères. Une arnaque ce restaurant, a éviter.
