Adriano is one of our newest parks, situated close to Ravenna on Italy’s east coast. It offers a superb getaway for families with its sandy beach location and sociable atmosphere welcoming families from all over Europe. Adriano campsite is also just a short walk to Punta Marina’s beachside restaurants and bars, and there’s plenty of [...]
This was sent to us as a newsletter item for the Al Fresco Reps, but as a holiday-maker who has tried kiting a few times, I thought our customers might also like to read it Josip and I have been at Sol a Gogo in the Vendée now for nearly three months. When we arrived [...]
Lynda, our campsite courier on Castell Montgri, continues her account….. From the French border down to Tossa de Mar The coastline is unspoilt and easy to drive around. Even in July and August the traffic is steady, enabling you to explore any day. Two hours away is Barcelona. You can also visit the football stadium [...]
Today, 27th July, the weather finally seems to be improving. We’ve had 15 days of not so good weather -some cloud, some heavy rain and even such a strong gale that the campsite was notified and told to tell all couriers to take away all furniture from the deckings. Makes life more interesting! Fortunately, nothing untoward happened – [...]
Sorry, it’s been some time since I have written about this area, as I have been very busy publishing our reps’ blogs instead. That’s a very valid reason, in my opinion, as they are providing very useful up-to-date information on and around our campsites. Anyway – for Part 3, I highly recommend “Autrefois Challans” – [...]

Our reps, Philippa and Josip, on Sol a Gogo St Jean de Monts, emailed this information regarding events happening locally for the rest of June and July. These events are usually free (obviously you pay for refreshments if you have them). The French are passionate about their little festivals, and it never fails to amuse [...]
By Al Fresco Reps – Gemma and Simon This week has been busy at Vias Plage with the grand opening of the mini golf, situated only 250m from the campsite. This “sport” is very popular with the French, and the new mini golf boasts a brilliant crêperie as well. On opening night there were 50 [...]
I thought I’d write a bit of a blog about our (my husband and myself) experiences of the Vendée. You never know – you might find something useful in it that you didn’t know. When our children were little, we spent a few 2-week holidays in The Vendée. We love the scenery of Brittany, and [...]
