Hi All
We've nearly finished drawing up our itinerary for our Grand Tour of Italy lasting 5 weeks this July and August. This is our FIRST visit to Italy so all helpful tips/suggestions very welcome. (We have toured widely in France, Germany, Austria and Switzerland but never Italy.) This is a special trip to celebrate Cary's 50th birthday - her choice, so I want it to be good.
Just before we book I'd be grateful for comments on any of the campsites we've selected. We are touring with our twin-axle 7.36 metre van towed by a 4x4. The car is mainly LPG powered so comments on LPG availability would be useful too.
The provisional itinerary of sites we have found through various guides and which have room are:
Lake Como - Camping La Riva, Sorico
Veneto - Camping Village Cavallino or Sant'Angelo, Cavallino
Rome -Roma Flash Sporting, Bracciano or I Pini Camping, Fiano Romano
Naples/Pompei - Santa Fortunata, Sorrento, or Villaggio Athena, Paestum or Camping Nettuno, Massa Lubrense
We would be particularly grateful for comments on these sites or personally recommended alternatives in the named areas.
In the case of Rome and Naples/Pompei we are hoping to get somewhere that is within travelling (preferably public transport) distance of the city but not necessarily very near.
We generally prefer smaller sites with sea/lake views, shade and privacy, swimming pool and table tennis. We are not interested in bars, discos and the like.
Thanks again in advance for all comments/advice - they will be gratefully received.
Regards
Tim
