MONEY MATTERS
For your added security we use a chipcard payment system on the campsite. On arrival you are issued with a rechargeable electronic chipcard that you use to pay for food and drinks from the bars and restaurant, and items from the market and bazaar. The card is rechargeable at reception only by cash or credit card. Any value left on the card is refunded back to you on departure.
If you are leaving late feel free to put your bags in the lockup to catch a few extra rays by the pool.
We pride ourselves on our reputation for providing clean, comfortable and safe accommodation throughout Italy. We hope you enjoy your stay.
