Camping La Chiocciola ***

from 2 reviews Write review

Between Tuscan hills and cities like Florence and Siena is the quiet family campsite La Chiocciola. After a long day you can enjoy the peace and privacy of your pitch, which is equipped with its own fountain. Delicious food is served in restaurant L'Antico Portale, located in an old country house in typical Tuscan style.

A private fountain

What strikes you at first when you stand on the campsite is the silence. You imagine yourself in the peace and quiet of a green park. On the campsite you can stay in one of the mobile homes, but camping is a lot nicer. The spacious pitches are delimited by laurel hedges and trees that provide plenty of shade. Extra nice: each pitch has its own fountain and a dustbin, which is emptied for you.

Particularly spacious swimming pools

The swimming pools on the campsite are particularly spacious. There are three in total: a deeper pool, a shallow pool for children and a paddling pool. So the whole family can have fun here. Around the swimming pools there is plenty of space to lie down. The campsite has taken advantage of this by putting up many sun loungers with parasols.

Restaurant L'Antico Portale

Right at the back of the campsite, just outside the campsite, is restaurant L'Antico Portale. In this old Tuscan country house you can enjoy delicious local dishes and good pizzas. The restaurant is nicely decorated and the terrace is large. If you prefer a quick bite, you can also order a takeaway meal at the campsite.

Travelling party: Family with children, 4 – 12 years

Onze ervaring met Camping La Chiocciola was helaas teleurstellend. We verbleven in een luxe accommodatie, wat op zich prettig was, maar de camping zelf voldeed niet aan onze verwachtingen op basis van de informatie op de website.

Er werd beloofd dat er animatie voor kinderen zou zijn in juli en augustus, maar dit bleek helemaal niet het geval te zijn. Dit was een grote teleurstelling voor ons en onze 6-jarige zoon, die zich daardoor vaak verveelde. De speeltuin is verouderd en slecht onderhouden, waardoor we ons zorgen maakten over de veiligheid ervan.

Daarnaast was de beloofde goedgevulde minimarkt vrijwel leeg en dus niet geschikt voor boodschappen. De sportvelden die werden gepromoot, waren overwoekerd en onbruikbaar. Het restaurant L'Antico Portale, dat als een chique eetgelegenheid werd beschreven, was al zeer lange tijd gesloten, wat een groot gemis was tijdens ons verblijf.

Het zwembad is een openbaar zwembad waar de camping gebruik van maakt. Dit zorgt ervoor dat het in het weekend erg druk kan zijn met lokale bezoekers, waardoor er weinig plek beschikbaar is voor campinggasten.

Het was een rustige camping met weinig kinderen, wat wellicht aantrekkelijk kan zijn voor sommige gezinnen, maar voor ons betekende het dat er weinig sociale interactie en speelmogelijkheden voor ons kind waren.

De camping heeft zeker potentieel, maar de huidige staat en het ontbreken van de beloofde faciliteiten maken het moeilijk om deze camping aan te bevelen. We hopen dat de nieuwe eigenaar de nodige verbeteringen doorvoert om aan de verwachtingen van toekomstige gasten te voldoen.
