Beautiful Campsite

Firstly this campsite has the most amazing views, from the pool and the restaurant, it was impossible to get a photograph which fully captured it. We have two children 4 and 6 and they absolutely loved the animation team. The daytime activities are fairly in low key in comparison to large resort, such... as crafting and gardening but we loved this as it atmosphere was calm and the children were not over stimulated. The nightly disco was great, most of the entertainment finished at 8 - 9 pm and then the restaurant / bar went very quite. The animation programme is definitely more suited to younger children. We were extremely lucky with the whether we travelled late September and it was hot everyday and we had no rain so spent most days round the pool - loads of sunloungers, pool is a bit cold but our kids didn't mind and there are Jacuzzis which are warm.
If you decide not to hire a car, be prepared to walk everywhere, this is the only thing we struggled with. it took us about 45/50 minutes in the heat to walk to Salo with our two children. The nearest supermarket off site is a good 20 - 30 minute walk, which doesn't sound far but again in the heat carrying bags is difficult. We thought it was be easy to get taxis but this was not the case. We tried to ask reception to call us taxis to get to the supermarket on a couple of occasions but there were none available. I think if the resort ran a daily shuttle bus to Salo this would be perfect, Salo is lovely but we only went once because of the hassle to get there and back. The nearest port is in Portese and this was a 40 minute walk for us ( with small kids ) and you can get the ferry to other areas of the lake, we went to Bardolino for the wine festival!
We stayed in a Safari Tent which we loved, it felt rustic but well equipped, we had a BBQ on a couple of occasions. It can be very noisy first thing in the morning, around 7 am lots of the families are getting up and the tent provides no noise insulation. Our friends were staying in a cabin and they weren't woken by the noise. All in all we had the best holiday and made some amazing memories
