Alan Rogers Review
Tucked away in the Apennines in a small village, this interesting little campsite is open all year and has many surprises. Eco-chiocciola (named for the camper after the snail wearing his house on his back) is being developed by the owner Ottavio Mazzanti as a place to enjoy the natural geographic, geological, botanical and zoological features of the area. Comforts such as the swimming pool are designed to enhance the experience. The 74 small touring pitches, all with electrical connections (6A), are on level or gently sloping ground with some terraces, many enjoying superb views. This is a peaceful site with a distinctly rustic feel for people who enjoy natural settings.
