Villaggio Camping Torre Del Porticciolo

Ottina struttura, ottima posizione. Servizi buoni, personale gentile. Unico pelo nell'uovo, il personale della reception non è stato il massimo della cortesia per un problema che poi in realtà ha risolto efficacemente questo sito si prenotazione.

The camping is in a nice remote location. It is really quiet and far from any city. If you want to go to Alghero, you can use the BeachBus which takes around 45-50 minutes to go downtown. The camping also provides a shuttle service from/to the airport (30 euros for 4 people, 45 for 7). But being remote also has some downsides. If you are without a car, you are limited to what you find in the camping. The breakfast is not well furnished. If you have half-/full-board, you get a fruit juice, a hot beverage, a very sugary pastry and 2 biscotti with marmalade. No fresh bread or cheese. You can buy some in the store, but as they know that buying here is because you cannot buy elsewhere, prices are really high. The restaurant (not a pizzeria) is also not doing its full best. First the schedule for full-board people is tight and you have to come between 12h30 and 13h30 for lunch, and between 19h30 and 20h30 for diner. So this was not ideal as we had to be ready to eat with the kids at precise time and we could not decide to come later to enjoy the sunset or do something else before eating. And the schedule is on the paper, but they usually opened 15min later. Some dishes are very good, others are just re-heated food (sometimes not even enough heated). Serving people are really friendly, be it in the restaurant or for kid’s activities. But people at the main entrance are not that friendly. We even did not get all the information when we first arrived. We had to go to some desk, which was not open so we had to come again later. And even there the information was not complete… We also arrived once with the bus from the city, arms full of our shopping, and the kids got asleep in the bus. We kindly ask them to help us with their little car to bring the kids and/or our shopping but they said that their little car was only for taking care of newcomers… About swimming: there is a swimming pool, bare minimum (no slide, no jumping platform), but swimming caps are mandatory… Who is still doing this in 2022? Hopefully you can go down to the beach in 5min walk so we enjoyed the beach a lot. Nice sand, large, quiet water with little waves, beautiful water with a lot of fishes, sea stars, octopuses and so on. There also are a lot of sea urchin so take some water shoes with you because you could easily step on one. At the beach there is a bar serving beverages and ice creams. But neither in the beach bar, nor in the camping bar could we find some real Italian gelati (ice creams). This was a big disappointment to only get these industrial ice creams when you are in the country of house-made ice creams…

We encountered a lot of do-not’s during our stay. Eg you cannot leave a mask at the side of the pool. You must wear a cap in the swimming pool (for hygiene) but when you signal there is poo in the pool (!) they try to make you believe it is something else. But when they found out it was poo they didn’t follow up with how it was cleaned but they try to ignore you. Another thing was the payment system, you can only pay with a magnetic card (makes data collection a lot easier I think) but why they do not explain. The pitch was the smallest we have seen in Sardegna but the most costly. I have to give credits to the cleaning personnel, they were super friendly, helpful and did an awesome job! And the beach is really nice. We think Sardegna has a lot nice campsites but this one was not among them unfortunately. We did not felt appreciated or welcome as guests here.
