Summary created out of 283 reviews

The park is praised for its beautiful swimming pools with slides and soft-cushioned surfaces, ideal for families with children. The location in the Chianti area provides a good base for excursions to Florence, Siena and other Tuscan cities. The friendly staff and good entertainment contribute to an enjoyable holiday. However, there are concerns: guests experience the park as very crowded and mass-oriented, with shortages of sun loungers at the pool. Accommodation cleaning often falls short and there are complaints about noise disturbance in the evenings. The hilly location makes the park less suitable for people with mobility issues.

    A beautiful place to vacation—I was only there for one day without a room; there were a lot of tourists, most of them from the Netherlands.

    The ideal campground for kids. Two locations with different pools and water slides or a whitewater course. A warm welcome from a Dutch couple who know the area well. The park is large, with several dining options (sushi, pizza, grill, and ice cream) and fun entertainment. The park is large: you can take a little train to get from one pool to the other.

    There are two delicious and affordable Sting restaurants in the immediate vicinity. No 5 stars for the location; the nearby village isn’t that charming. However, there are plenty of good supermarkets nearby.

    If you like a large campground with plenty of entertainment for the kids, then this is a great choice.

    Voor de kinderen de ideale camping. Twee locaties met verschillende zwembaden en glijbanen of wildwaterbaan. Een warm welkom door een Nederlands stel die omgeving goed kennen. Het park is groot met meerdere eettentjes (sushi, pizza, grill en ijs) en leuke animatie. Het park is groot: om van de ene naar de andere zwembad te komen kun je met een treintje gaan.

    In de directe omgeving zitten twee heerlijke en betaalbare restaurants van Sting. Geen 5 sterren voor de locatie; het nabij gelegen dorpje is niet zo leuk. Wel veel goede supermarkten in de buurt.

    Hou je van een grote camping en veel vermaak voor de kinderen; dan is het prima.

    A one-time trip, and not your typical one… We (a family with a 15-year-old daughter and a 7-year-old son). Let’s start with the positives:
    We stayed in a Premium mobile home, which was quite small and sparsely furnished but perfectly fine. I especially liked that every outlet had a matching USB port and a matching USB-C port right next to it. The kitchen was sparsely equipped, but aside from a sharp knife, nothing was missing. The air conditioning worked reliably. The water in the showers would cut out every now and then, which isn’t surprising given the volume that has to be pumped up. So it was manageable and fine. The staff were always helpful, and the activity leaders were cheerful and very nice. The large open areas—the slides in the lower section are lined with a kind of rubber mat—so that children can hardly, if at all, hurt themselves on the stairs. It’s designed to be super kid-friendly.
    Now for the negative points:
    We booked this club as a TUI Kids Club, although you’ll only find a tiny TUI sign in one or two places. As a result, even though the entire grounds are divided into an upper and lower area—each with its own Kids Club—there was only one German-speaking staff member. During our summer vacation, about 95% of the guests at the resort were Dutch, with 3% Italian and 2% from other countries—Denmark, Germany, and Poland. On our first evening, we ate at a restaurant in the upper section, but the food was truly inedible. The salmon was completely burnt and black, and the club sandwich was completely burnt. The only thing you could eat were the nuggets, but they tasted like old grease. For the price they were charging here—it was an absolute rip-off. Prices are generally on the higher side, especially in the supermarkets located right here on the campground. As expected, a large beer at the bar cost €8.01, and a Sprite was five euros. It has absolutely nothing to do with a TUI Kids Club, and unfortunately, that was a deciding factor for us in choosing this place, since we’d hoped that at least our little one would have enough fun in the Kids Club—but we didn’t get that. Our mobile home was located in the upper half of the campground, and there were no German-speaking staff members there. So we had to take the little train down every time to drop the little one off at the Kids Club—if he even wanted to go. The evening program was more like a children’s circus in terms of quality and nothing special. We had no cell service or Wi-Fi at our mobile home, which my daughter especially didn’t like. If we’d known this beforehand, I would have packed a few more books. In the evenings, there were occasional music performances by individual artists that you could listen to—nothing particularly special or outstanding, but it was okay. The pools open at 9:00 a.m. If you arrive at 10:00 a.m., all the lounge chairs are already taken, and you have to see where you can find a spot. It’s the same old story everywhere: towels are quickly laid out, and you look in vain for the person who left them there. Since we’d chosen this place specifically for our son, we were very disappointed, since the vacation turned into more of a stress to get somewhere on time and secure a lounge chair, or to make it to the Kids Club on time—which is only open for a few hours at a time and only occasionally offers suitable activities for the little ones or for German-speaking children. All in all, the vacation was more of a letdown for us than a relaxing and fun family getaway; while it would certainly be a pleasant experience for a Dutch extended family, it’s probably less appealing for German families. The pools are completely overcrowded; it feels just like those videos you see from China where people are packed tightly together with inner tubes and inflatable toys, and no consideration is given to small children when jumping into the pool.

    Einmal und nicht normal… Wir (Familie mit Tochter15 und Sohn 7). Fangen wir mit den Positiven Sachen an:
    Wir hatten ein Mobilheim Premium welches zwar recht klein und spartanisch bestückt war aber vollkommen in Ordnung. Gefallen hat mir hier besonders das es an jeder Steckdose direkt einen passenden USB und einen passenden USB. C Anschluss gab. Die Küche war mager ausgestattet, aber bis auf ein scharfes Messer hat es ja nichts gefehlt. Die Klimaanlage lief zuverlässig. Das Wasser in den duschen hat immer mal wieder den Geist aufgegeben, weil das nicht zu verwunderlich ist bei dem Mengen an was die hochgepumpt werden müssen. Es war also verkraftbar und in Ordnung. Das Personal stets bemüht und die Animateure gut gelaunt und sehr nett. Große Flächen, der Rutschen im unteren Bereich sind mit einer Art Gummimatte ausgelegt, so dass die Kinder sich auch auf den Treppen kaum oder gar nicht weh tun könnten. Es ist also super kinderfreundlich gestaltet.
    Nun zu den negativen Themen:
    Wir haben diesen Club als TUI Kids Club gebucht, wobei man ein TUI Schild nur an ein oder zwei Stellen in kleinster Form vorfindet. Dies hatte zur Auswirkung, Dass es auf dem gesamten Gelände es gibt einen oberen unteren Bereich mit jeweils einem eigenen Kids Club nur eine deutschsprachige Person gab. Zu unserer Zeit in den Sommerferien als wir Urlaub gemacht haben, waren circa 95 % Holländer auf dem Platz dann auch 3 % Italiener und 2 % sonstiges Dänemark Deutsch, Polen. Wir waren am ersten Abend in einem Restaurant in der oberen Hälfte essen, wobei das Essen wirklich ungenießbar war. Der Lachs war vollkommen verbrannt und schwarz das Club Sandwich war vollkommen verbrannt. Das einzige, was man essen konnte, waren die Nuggets und die haben aber nach altem Fett geschmeckt. Für den Preis, der hier aufgerufen wurde. Eine absolute Frechheit. Es ist grundsätzlich eher teurer gehalten, wobei das gerade in den Supermärkten, die hier auf dem Platz vorhanden sind. Vorhersehbar war ein großes Bier an der Theke kostet 8,01 € Sprite fünf Euro. Es hat absolut nichts mit einem TUI Kids Club zu tun und es war für uns leider eine Entscheidungskriterium dies zu wählen, da wir gehofft haben hier wenigstens für den Kleinen in dem Kids Club genug Bespaßung zu kriegen das hatten wir nicht. Unser Mobilheim lag auf der oberen Hälfte des Platzes, und hier gab es keine deutschsprachige Betreuung. Wir mussten also jedes Mal mit der Bimmelbahn nach unten fahren, um den Kleinen in den Kids Club zu bringen, wenn er denn dann wollte. Das Abendprogramm ist von der Qualität her eher ein Kinderzirkus und nichts besonderes. Wir hatten an unserem Mobilheim kein Netz und kein WLAN, was besonders meiner Tochter nicht gefallen hat. Hätten wir dies vorher gewusst, hätte ich auch ein paar Bücher mehr mit eingepackt. Zwischenzeitlich gab es abends Musikprogramm von einzelnen Künstlern, die man sich anhören konnte, Wobei auch nichts besonderes oder herausragendes dabei war aber in Ordnung. Um 9:00 Uhr werden die Pools aufgemacht. Wenn man um 10:00 Uhr ankommt sind schon alle liegen belegt und man muss sehen wo man bleibt. Das gleiche Spiel wie überall Handtücher werden schnell hingelegt und die Person sucht man vergeblich. Da wir diesen Ort speziell für unseren Sohn ausgewählt hatten, waren wir sehr enttäuscht, da der Urlaub mehr zum Stress wurde, um rechtzeitig irgendwohin zu kommen und liegen zu bekommen beziehungsweise rechtzeitig zum Kids Club zu kommen, der auch nur stundenweise geöffnet hat und auch nur manchmal passendes Programm für die Klein anbietet beziehungsweise für die deutschsprachigen Kinder. Es wird, war der Urlaub für uns eher ein Reinfall als Erholung und Spaß für die Familie für holländische Großfamilie mit Sicherheit eine angenehme Geschichte für deutsche Familien eher weniger interessant. Die Pools sind völlig überfüllt, fühlt sich wie in dem Videos, die man aus China kennt wo mit Luftreifen und Wassertieren alle eng eng stehen und keine Rücksicht auf kleine Kinder genommen wird beim rein springen ins Becken.
