No need to explain ....... The 20 years that we go all the family say it all 😊😊😊😊😊😊

I can’t comment on the rooms since I stayed there in a tent. The campground is top-notch, with well-maintained, shaded campsites and modern, spotlessly clean restrooms. I ate at the restaurant, and the food was very good, though a bit pricey. There are magnificent swimming pools—it’s a shame they close at 6:30 p.m. and swimming caps are required. In any case, it’s a very beautiful place nestled in the Sibillini Mountains.

We spent two days there with a group of 25 people on a full-board basis at
. Céline and Christophe are top-notch in every way. Céline makes wonderful pizzas. If you're in the area, this is a must-visit!

In terms of the campground itself, we really liked Čikat. The entire grounds are exceptionally well-maintained, and the restrooms were consistently very clean throughout our stay. The location is also ideal: it’s very well-connected, and you can reach the city in no time by bike, which is extremely convenient for day trips.
The reason we’re still only giving it 3 stars is the utterly misleading description of the campground and the disappointing customer service we received beforehand: We had specifically booked the expensive “Superior Mare” category because the name, the “first-row” sample photos on the website, and the text (“in the front row facing the sea...”) suggested a site right on the water. Since we noticed on the site map that the plot assigned to us was located very far in the back, we emailed weeks before our arrival to ask whether we would actually be right on the water. Unfortunately, the camp’s response was just a standard boilerplate statement that the site belonged to that category—they didn’t address our concerns at all.

Once we arrived, our suspicions were confirmed: the site is located on the very edge of the yellow zone. You’re effectively in the 3rd or 4th row here, looking only at the campers in front of you, with the cheaper, purple category right behind you—absolutely no trace of a sea view. The fine print does say, “...and in the remaining area of the camp,” but selling a row set so far inland as a premium “Mare” spot for double the price is pure profit-maximization at the expense of the guests. For this location, a regular campsite for half the price would have sufficed.

We stayed at the “Domaine Bleu Celeste” campground for 10 days. We had a lovely, spacious site with a view of a flower field full of butterflies. The campground has many charming nooks and crannies, and it’s incredibly peaceful.
The surrounding area is beautiful for hiking, biking, and visiting small towns.
The table d’hôte was cozy, and Karin is an excellent cook.
There are also safari tents available for rent. Every site offers plenty of privacy. Highly recommended!

AVOID! AVOID! AVOID! My 4- and 3-year-old children, my wife, and I were just kicked out of the pool by four police officers—called by the owner—because my kids were wearing long-sleeved swimsuits while there’s a Code Red in effect nationwide. They simply said, “This isn’t allowed,” without any explanation. It’s unbelievable and utterly ridiculous. Avoid this place—the people in charge here are unreasonable and incapable of having a conversation. I hope everyone avoids this place from now on.
