It IS a walk away from the beach - about 15 minutes with a 5 year old, less than 10 for a grown up. Beach is great and the campsite has a key entry 'private' section which is useful for leaving beach things overnight at safely.

As for the camp, the pitches with private kitchen/bathroom are brilliant (I've never had a Smeg brand hob in a camping site before) and plenty big enough. There isn't a bit of litter or a full litter bin anywhere.

The swimming pools are clean and large with plenty of loungers and umbrellas.

The children's club activities were brilliant for our 5 year old and very much approved of by her. The evening entertainment was good fun for everyone as were the daytime activities for everyone- and all this thanks to the tireless animation staff - hard working doesn't come close to it. Starting work at 0900 and finishing after midnight when the disco ended they knew us by name and did everything possible to make our stay better. I've seen far far worse in 'proper' hotel resorts. Well done guys and girls - you made it really special.

The restaurant staff were friendly and helpful and the food well priced - certainly up to restaurant quality too. The small shop was small and a bit overpriced, as was the cafe takeaway prices but the management never minded you bringing your own food or drinks into the cafe or pool areas - most families brought packed snacks in fact. 

The management staff couldn't do enough to help whenever we asked for it, immediately giving us another kitchen when our fridge failed to cool sufficiently quickly, helping our girl with ice packs when she had a little fall and allowing us - very happily - to leave the pitch later than 10am and continue to use the facilities for the rest of the day.

The site is bordered by a relatively busy single track rail line, but it really wasn't noisy at all - it never woke us or kept us up at all.

This was out first visit - purely on the spur of the moment - and we consider ourselves incredibly lucky that we found it. We have already asked them about a bungalow for next summer. Amazing.

Great value campsite that feels in places more like a hotel resort.

Great place, great people, great facilities.
The staff is very friendly and always trying to make your stay as enjoyable as possible. They are fun, energetic and always smiling. Moreover, you have everything you need here, we didnt have to leave the site.. 
Will come here again for sure.

Great place

I've been to Il Veliero before when friends were staying there for 2 weeks. My son and his family (2 adults and 2 children 6 and 4) booked for a week and It was lovely, the accommodation has air conditioning too, when it's too hot.  

It's nice as you can cook your own meals in the cabins on the campsite, or go out to some of the many restaurants nearby, if you prefer not to cook and if you don't mind driving there and back.  

The weather was beautiful and hot in Tuscany in July and the pools are nice, and they had aqua aerobics too.  Loads of good planned activities for the kids too to keep them busy playing.  The beach is a 10-15 min. walk away, but it's a nice sandy beach and fun for the kids and family to be by the seaside, too.  

I only gave 4 stars as it IS too expensive and I think it's over-priced for a young family to afford.

Great for kids and families

The staff were lovely and tried hard to be helpful.   Full marks and thank you to the young lady that managed to accommodate us in 2 bungalows side by side.   That made such a difference to our family holiday.  Swimming pools good.   Entertainment schedule good - the evening foam disco was so much fun!   Sadly the bungalows need better maintenance and better equipment - no proper coffee machine only the old fashioned tiny ones that have to be warmed up on the hob, only 5 hangers supplied and no more available on request, shower that flooded the bathroom and air conditioning that leaked on the lounge floor - our floors were wet most of the time .   But excellent bed which makes up for a lot!   If only they renovated and better equpped the accommodation I might have thought it was worth the price.   As it is I think they are overcharging.   Oh and some sort of inventory or description of what there is in the units in advance would be so helpful and more efficient.   I would have taken our electric coffee machine, more hangers (and possibly a floor mop?!)

The bungalows need better maintenance and equipment to make this a really good resort.   A shame!

We spent a week in this camping site. The site is big. The pools are not that big like what I've thought..but it's ok. There are ants everywhere. The bathrooms are not well kept. In the ladies shower room., of the 4 shower rooms only 2 can be used so we need to take a shower earlier to avoid long lines. The beaches are not near to this campsite.
The workers are friendly and entertaining.
