Camping Barco Reale

The reception is very friendly, and the site itself is quite varied, located on a hill or mountain, making each pitch unique. The dining options and the pool area were TOP clean and well-maintained. The small shop and the restaurant do have prices that are more on the higher end of the possible price range, but this is naturally explained by the higher location. The sanitary facilities were TOP, except for warm water while showering... not everyone can shower at once. What one must accept is that there are no cycling and hiking paths directly adjacent; you first have to go down the hill. And the hairpin turns on a bike are somewhat adventurous since there is quite a bit of traffic.

Scenically located in a very beautiful area, quiet and in the midst of nature. However, it is also remote and very hilly. There’s no chance of quickly biking to the store. Even e-bikes struggle with the steep inclines. The shop at the site is quite limited and expensive. Mobile phone reception is poor. Wi-Fi is only available at the bar. In my opinion, this is not a "Leading Camp". There are more and more glamping options, attracting many neo-campers. The pool offers a very nice view, but the so-called SPA is misused by children and teenagers as a warm small children's pool. The sanitary facilities are partially (33%) quite outdated and cleaned only with little motivation. Depending on the choice, the pitches can also be very large. We traveled with a motorhome (7.3m). Getting there with a caravan (I saw 3 caravans on the site in 9 days) is quite cumbersome, and I would advise against it.

Pros

This campsite is truly situated in a stunning spot. From our tent, we had a wonderful view over the valley. The staff was welcoming, and the tent was spacious with a large veranda. It is perfectly located for trips to Pisa, Lucca, and Florence. Despite the chilly nights in April (manageable with extra blankets), it was delightful here, perhaps even better than in the summer. Pitch/Accommodation: Spacious tent and large veranda Beautiful view. Excellent shower. BBQ.

Cons

Pitch/Accommodation: A little heater would have been nice so you could stay outside longer in the evenings during April, past 10 PM. The bed was a bit hard.

Pros

Location of the campsite

Cons

Water in the showers Pitch/rental accommodation: Maintenance of the site Mowing the grass

Pros

Friendly staff, great swimming pool with stunning views. Pitch/Rental accommodation: Swimming pool and view

Cons

Specific pitches designated for large caravans or campers. Pitch/Rental accommodation: We were concerned about safely leaving the site. Staff provided excellent assistance.

It was quite okay but different prices for different sizes of camper pitches, the normal spot is way too narrow and small for 7 m - no wifi and no mobile network, sanitary facilities are okay - everything is very steep to walk, for one night it was okay - view super, we found it overpriced, no ACSI Card and no ADAC Camp Card are accepted.

Pros

A lovely terraced campsite with a beautiful view of the valley when sitting on the terrace at the restaurant/pools. Pitch/Rental accommodation: We had a wonderful spacious spot with a view

Pros

Super beautiful campsite. It is terraced which gives you your own spot. We were there at the end of August, so it was very quiet at the campsite. The pool is really fantastic! Very beautiful view. The water was cold, but once you were in, you didn’t notice it. The sanitary facilities were a bit outdated. The showers were pleasantly warm. The toilets were also fine. The washing facilities were also good but there were only a few hot taps. The staff was very friendly! Pitch/Rental accommodation: We had a nice spacious spot where our tent measuring 3 by 5 and car could easily fit.

Cons

We stayed for 5 nights and every night there were dogs in the vicinity barking all night long. Because of this, we had very poor nights.
