Villaggio Barricata

The supermarket prices are good, and the showers have recently been modernised. Food-wise, the pizza is good and the pasta just okay. There are nice pools, lots for kids to do, and the children's staff seemed motivated. Camping pitches are fine, though some don't have shade. It's really out of the way, so there aren't many excursions nearby. I wouldn't choose it as an adult couple hoping to explore.

We'd recommend this campsite for a short visit, especially if you're after a spot close to the beach. The grounds are well cared for, the restaurant was decent, and the shop was good. For children there are pools, slides, a playground, and activities both during the day and in the evening. Our accommodation was the weak point. The rooms were cramped, particularly the second bedroom, which felt claustrophobic, and the terrace was too small. The equipment also seemed dated. At this price, we expected the provider to include towels.

We spent five wonderfully lazy days here with our two kids, mostly at the pools and beach. Having AC in the rented trailer camper made it easy to make lunch and take a siesta before heading to the beach restaurants for dinner. My wife and daughter also enjoyed horseback riding at the farm, and the staff there were very thorough. Just a lovely family holiday.

The natural surroundings are lovely, but that isn't something the camp gets credit for. Our stay was very disappointing. There are nice pools, but it felt like everything was forbidden, including playing with a ball. Kids weren't allowed to swim without parents, even when they could swim. No Wi-Fi in the room, and you can't leave before 7 a.m., which pushes you into traffic. The ice cream scoops were the smallest I've ever seen. For a five-star place, there were no towels either, just towels for sale at 20. Update: Barricata, I don't care where you put your information. You created an unpleasant customer experience and fell short of what I expected, so I rate this as a two-star facility, not five. I expected comfortable facilities and service without these problems. I don't read through your texts; I rely on the rating and what people expect from a five-star place. Please take the feedback and improve the service, or don't, but accept realistic feedback based on those expectations.
