Travelling party: Couple

Narrow entrance road down into site and tricky to park our motorhome,under 7m, amongst the small trees but loads of shade. But able to choose our own spot in the Acsi designated area. When we were there we could have done with a sunnier spot! Lovely quiet Lake Piano with great flat cycle route into Porlezza ( & Mennagio which we didn’t do). Buses outside , but can be unreliable! 9km to Lake Como and boats from Mennagio around the lake. Villa Carlotta was lovely. Drive down to Como town great

Friendly staff, lovely site with perfect mix of sunshine and shade. Not busy when we stayed, so it was very peaceful and relaxing. Just the sound of birds and church bells during the day, and the lake creatures at night!
Clean facilities - shower tokens provided each day, so time was very limited
Cycle routes directly to Lake Lugano (flat and short!) or Como (longer and more hills!), barely touching the main road and routes are well signposted.
All in all a really nice stay

Spent a couple of nights here. Lots of vans but quiet at night. Nicely shaded with trees but be careful getting off and on your pitch, struggled with my 7m van. Only 3A supply, I kept tripping it until I realised my Truma boiler was drawing too much when set to electric supply. Ok when set to diesel. Good cycling territory. Cycle path to Lake Como follows old railway track but does take you on the main road at times - bit hairy!

Wir haben Anfang April 2 Tage auf diesem
sehr schönen Platz mit Blick auf den Largo di Piano verbracht. Wir wurden total freundlich von der Tochter der Betreiberfamilie auf deutsch empfangen. Durften uns im gesamten hinteren Bereich mit Blick auf den See ein großern Platz aussuchen. Hier war das Sanitärhaus zwar nicht geöffnet, bei der geringen Belegung des Platzes war das aber kein Problem, Sanitäranlagen waren sehr sauber. Wir kommen gern wieder.

such a great campsite - stayed here Easter weekend and although it was really busy the size of the pitches meant it never felt it. toilets and showers were always clean. staff were really helpful and friendly. there’s a tight entrance getting in. some great cycling and walking nearby. pool doesn’t open until may
