Centro Vacanze San Marino

Alan Rogers Review of Centro Vacanze San Marino

Centro Vacanze San Marino, at 400 m. above sea level and positioned on an attractive hillside, has lovely views of the Adriatic. You'll arrive via twisting mountainous roads winding through dramatic scenery and will discover an excellent, modern site with a variety of well-tended trees offering welcome shade. Make sure you visit the ancient city of San Marino at the top of the mountain (4 km).

On level terraces, the main grass pitches are roomy and accessed from tarmac or gravel roads. Separated by hedges, all have electricity (5A). Smaller pitches on lower terraces are for tents. There is a pleasant open feel to this site. Mobile homes and bungalows are available to rent, and the site is used by a tour operator (30 pitches). The large swimming pool has a section for children and a broad sunbathing terrace.

Despite its numerous tourist shops it is very beautiful and there are some real bargains to be had. According to one guide book, the Republic is ‘an unashamed tourist trap which trades on its falsely preserved autonomy’. It has its own mint, produces its own postage stamps and issues its own car registration plates. It also has a small army, a successful international football team and a unique e-mail address. In all other respects however, it is part of Italy. Tourists do seem to find it interesting, particularly those with patience to climb to the battlemented castles on the three highest ridges.
