The budget-friendly Argentario Camping Village has apartment-style bungalows and cottages next to its campgrounds. All rooms have kitchenettes, but are otherwise basic, with minimal decor and furniture. Features include a large swimming pool, private access to the beach, and two restaurants. A shaded playground, a children’s pool, and kid-friendly entertainment during high season make it a good option for families. Decor is minimalist -- hence the "camping" vibe -- but it delivers on features and reasonable rates.
Scene
Family-friendly, with gorgeous grounds for relaxing
After passing a gated entrance, guests are greeted by flowering plants and a fountain at the end of a brick driveway. The grounds are divided into two sections: the wooded Camping Village for RVs and tents and the Holiday Village, with cottages and bungalows. Part of a lovely pine forest area, the large property has young palm trees and beautiful flowers and plants. The hotel section is primarily frequented by families, and there's a playground area for kids and stage with amphitheater seating. The camping village primarily attracts Italian families and is a good option for anyone looking for private access to the beach
Location
In the middle of a pine forest, along the coast of Tuscany
The Argentario Camping Village is situated along the Tuscan coast in a nature reserve with private beach access. It's located in Giannella, the strip of land that connects the Monte Argentario Peninsula to the mainland. The city of Albinia, where the closest train station is located, takes under five minutes to reach by car. The property is a 15-minute drive to Monte Argentario and Orbetello. Rome Fiumicino Airport takes just over 90 minutes by car. For travelers wanting to explore more of Italy, Florence and Pisa are both two hours away.
Rooms
Apartment-style rooms with basic furnishings and kitchenettes
The Holiday Village, next to the campgrounds, is where the bungalows and cottages are located. All of these apartment-style lodgings are small, with dated bedspreads and minimal, bland wooden furniture. Some of the two-room apartments have twin beds in the kitchenette area. All rooms have small TVs, air conditioners, and kitchenettes with dishes, crockery, and two burners. Each has a patio area with a table and chairs that looks out onto the pretty grounds. Bathrooms are small but clean and come with bidets and stall showers. Guests can opt for a room with linens provided or bring their own.
Features
Large swimming pool with adjacent bar and private beach
One of the highlight's of Argentario is its private beach access, and guests can use canoes, paddle boats, and a boat dock for free. Car parking is free and both motor-scooters and bicycles are available for hire. A large playground area houses a swing set, a cute miniature wooden train, and a jungle gym. During the high season, live entertainment is staged at the on-site amphitheater. There's also a large swimming pool and adjacent children's pool with waterslides, as well as a deck with a hot tub, several lounge chairs, and a hammock. The Pool Bar has plastic tables with parasols and coin-operated toy machines for kids. There are two on-site restaurants, one of which is a pizzeria, and a grocery store with free delivery.
