Gitavillage California

Not your typical Roman Holiday! I booked the Gita California last minute as a stop after arriving to FCO airport for the night before heading to Port Venere. What a great find. At $46.00 our bungalow was perfectly clean - the atmosphere was pure family fun. The pool was packed and the music was playing. In the evening people were BBQ'ing dinner - or picking up pizzas from the restaurant - which has a full menu. The resort store is full service - with an amazing deli counter. For breakfast had expresso and croissant from the "ice cream" counter and ate our left over pizza I heated on the stove in our room. Pitch a Tent, park a caravan, rent a canvas tent, or bungalow for a unique and pleasant experience just outside of Rome - what a happy discovery.

The maintenance of the establishment has taken a steep downfall, the grass is not looked after anymore, what once was a beautiful garden is now 70 percent sand. The pool is not cleaned anymore, the water is often not clear and they gave up on fixing the broken spa parts of the pool which is a shame, they just leave them broken. If you wish to go to the bathroom while you are at the beach or at the pool you must go back to your stay or main public bathrooms because the pool bathrooms have now been turned into private bathrooms for waiters only which is ridiculous. The restaurant serves frozen dishes or dishes that have been prepared long before you arrived and warmed up on the spot with a microwave (if you decide to try it, you will not be going back..). Lastly they have reduced their prices and you can tell by the new clientele. What was once a beautiful establishment comparable to a resort is now at a 2 star hotel level.

I spent 2 weeks in a mobile home in this camping and the experience was not really as expected. While the price was aligned with the very high season in Italy, the quality of the offered services (all of them) was quite poor an not satisfactory. Information shared by the call center were different respect to what was told by the staff (inexperienced and not properly organised) and no customer care culture is indeed the key aspect of this negative review.

Big disappointment. Fraud. You pay for a 40-50m2 caravan park-guaranteed on offer. In fact, it has an area of about 25 square meters! Toilets and showers in terrible condition and incredibly few for so many guests. More Turkish toilets? In the 21st century? In Europe? Disaster. The waste tank for caravans is very far and more than half a kilometer. Another negative: you must not park your car on the playground, a weak electric circuit breaker (I had to turn off all appliances on to use the kettle, even so the circuit breaker still fell out). Connections very far from some fields, you can not rent a longer cable or buy. Very little space when parking a caravan. Overall, the camp for an above-average price is well below the European average in terms of quality and equipment. Never more!
