Campeggio Barco Reale ****

What a lovely campsite. Stayed here for 6 days. Great facilities, well set out, fantastic views and good distance to go and see local area, Pisa, Lucca, Florence and Siena. Good restaurant, nice shop though a bit expensive for everyday necessities. Would highly recommend a visit, staff all very helpful and great fitness trail around the camp, if you like that sort of thing!!

A good campsite made better by excellent helpful staff. The site is on top of a mountain so beware acess is by well surfaced but steep winding main road. Pitches vary in size and quality so look first. Camp manager could not be more helpful as she wizzes around in her golf buggy.

Near perfect campsite set under Italian oak trees and conifers, on top of a mountain. Well mixed touring and static pitches. Well shaded but beware different size pitches and accessibility with caravan or motorhome: do not necessarily accept the pitch offered at reception as some are difficult. Pitches are colour-coded according to size on the map given at reception. You are guided towards your allocated pitch but staff are happy to find another one for you! Outstandingly helpful information staff who go out of their way to find what you need. Restaurant not open at lunch time during our visit mid-September and more expensive at night. Try simple, quaint but excellent little restaurant across the entrance at very low prices serving freshly cooked meals. Would recommend this campsite without hesitation.

We had a wonderful experience at Barco Reale in June 2014. The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful, especially Antonio (the waiter) and the girl in the Information booth. The swimming pool and area were marvelous with a gorgeous view and a Gelato stand right by. The restaurant had great food and service. The campsite had bus trips to some of the more popular tourist areas, like Florence. The only negative we experienced was ants. They were everywhere in the camping pitch. They didn't sting, but swarmed over all food and crumbs. We learned quickly how to secure our site from their invasion. But even that did not mar our lovely stay at this campsite. I highly recommend it.

One of the best campsites we have stayed on in Italy. Good size pitches. Lovely surroundings and super swimming pool. The road to the campsite has a lot of hairpin bends and the last one to the campsite road is really difficult being hairpin and on a hill, we managed it with our 7.2 metre caravan and it was well worth the effort as the campsite is truly lovely.

Wonderful staff. Veronica on the information hut is lovely. Paolo in the restaurant is friendly and helpful. These staff members are a credit to this camp!!!! Nice area and atmosphere.

This is a very good camping placed on beautiful place. The Toilet facilities are first class and are kept very clean. Nonetheless I have to give them the lowest qualifications because the lighting works with an automatic system, which is activated when you cross the door of the facilities; that makes it work during five minutes and after that you should get out of the shower and activate it again by crossing the door. That means that you have to take your shower in the deep dark. We made a complaint to the staff but we didn’t get any solution. It is a pity because the sanitary facilities are superb.
