We rented a bungalow for 2 weeks which was tidy and provided just enough room to stay in. Luckily we didn't have to spend much time in it because it was very warm. The fridge had a freezing compartment with no door, meaning that after 4 days it was full of ice, preventing the fridge from closing properly. Instead of providing a fridge with a proper freezer there was a sign that we should not use pointed objects to remove the ice from the freezer. The beds were too small for me (I'm 1.85m) but we slept alright because the rooms can be completely darkened. There were some vicious mosquitoes but nothing serious. The Wi-Fi was the worst I've ever seen. Not only do you only get 20 hours per week for free, the Wi-Fi was so slow that it took an hour to download a newspaper on an iPad. I admit I'm an above-average internet user, but this was unworkable and frustrating.||||The reception staff was very friendly and were always willing to help. When the door of our fridge didn't open and close properly (different problem) they fixed it the next day. They provided us with maps of Lucca and Livorno and even arranged a dentist appointment in the village.||||The pool was good and Massimo is a great pool attendant, very good with kids. On hot days it gets really crowded but that was to be expected. The entrance system seemed to break down at least once a day. The bus to the beach was old but comfortable. ||||The menu of the restaurant was mostly pizza and seafood. The pizzas were very good and the waitress very friendly. The local shop on the campsite has fresh bread in the morning and a good assortment of foods. Nice cheeses as well. The bar serves cocktails but has no list of them. The Creme de Caffé was delicious and 3 euros for 0,66L of Moretti was very decent.||||The animation team seemed semi-professional but it was all Italian. My daughter (5) loved the 'baby dance', 30 minutes of dancing to Italian tunes with 2 energetic girls (Dahlia & Sarah). Too bad that the guy presenting loves to hear himself talk. He talked right through all the songs which was very annoying (especially if you don't understand what he's saying). Strange that a baby dance starts at 21:30. From 22:00 the animation starts for children/adults (which is the reason that at the baby dance you can't get a seat because all seats are reserved for the rest of the evening). Animation can be heard across the entire campsite, but it stops at 0:00. After that you can get a good night's sleep.||||All in all we found that this camping was mostly tailored towards Italian campers. Did we have a great holiday? Definitely! We have fond memories of this holiday but I'm pretty sure we will not return to this camping (also because the sea-side of Tuscany is nowhere near as beautiful as...
Read moreWe spent a very nice week in an on site Mobile Home on this camp ground. It was early in the season so it was still very quiet at night.||||The Mobile Home was used but clean and enjoyable. We enjoyed the good climate under the trees. The home was equipped by air condition, but we did not need it.||Free WiFi was available and it worked reliably, but not super fast. You have to enter the pass code every time you open your device.||To get to the beach, it takes a hike of 2km. (we were told, that there will be a shuttle bus in summer, but it was not yet operated). So you should have good walking shoes (no flip flops) and minimize your equipment to carry. And you should know, that wide areas at the beach are private beach zones, but a public beach is available.||||Due to some rain showers we faced quite some mosquito attacks due to the proximity of the jungle area in front of the beach. After using some incense sticks against mosquitoes we could reduce the annoyance. And the camp ground staff took some countermeasures too, which further reduced this issue.||||The staff was very nice and helpful. They are speaking German and English fluently. ||We enjoyed very much the good Cappuccino in the bar in the morning.||The restaurant was good and the staff can speak English fluently.||||We travel with our road bikes and could use them for trips to Viareggio, Pietrasanta and Lucca. The first two tours can be done on a bike lane along the coast, whereas the tour to Lucca is on public roads. They can be quite busy with traffic, which is not so nice.||||At night, the camp ground closes massive gates, so it seems to be a quite safe place.||Overall we had an enjoyable week and can recommend this safe campground for families and bikers, which are not too allergic against a...
