Dear fellow campers, we are John and Mary and these are our 4 children: 18 year old Alex, 15 year old Anne, 6 year old Louise and 3 year old Rose. We would like to recall the unforgettable holiday we spent last summer at he Smeraldo Campsite. We reach the campsite on the bank of the splendid lake Bracciano following the road map with no difficulty whatsoever. The spacious entrance graced with flowers in bloom welcomes us into the inviting cool leafy shade of the Plane-tree. We follow the sign for the large carpark on the right, the reception on the left being where we met the friendly family that run the campsite.
We are kindly shown to the site we have booked , where Alex and Anne pitch the tent in which their carefree holiday is to be spent. Absolute cleanliness reigns in the washrooms and toilets they are about to use.
Mary, myself and the two small children settle into the beautiful mobile home surrounded by it's pretty garden. It is quiet, practical and close by to a natural spring that has formed a small pond where there are goldfish and water reeds.
An inviting fragrance draws us to the bar where we are tempted to eat lovely hot chocolate pasties.
There is nothing left for us and the children to do but make our choice on how to spend the rest of our holidays: swimming pool for the kids , paddling pool and play park for the tiny tots and for all of us four-a-side football, basket ball, beach volley, sailing, surf, lots of sunbathing, swimmming in the lake and unforgettable sunsets .
We have worked up quite an appetite, which we are able to satisfy under the shade of the Smeraldo Campsite's gazebo with tasty meals, local wine and enticing pizzas.
With the bus which leaves from the campsite or the train which leaves from Anguillara station we are able reach Rome's city centre (Saint Peter's) where we can easily catch the underground to see 'The Eternal City' sights. As well as this, we go on lots of different excursions and interesting itineraries advised to us by the campsite owners.
For the evening a good chat and a game of snooker with our new friends from the campsite where it is like being part of a big happy family, while Alex and Anne have fun on the grassy bank by the beach where teenagers can play the guitar, listen to music or have a barbeque, sometimes the whole night long until the break of dawn while at the campsite silence is being kept (14.00-16.00, 23.00-7.00).
Saturday evening there is Baby Dance, group dancing and disco music until one o'clock …..music under the stars .

On August 15th games, tournaments and shows where our children have a whale of a time being actors while we are 'the audience'. It's not easy to keep everybody happy, but at the Smeraldo Campsite we have found: relax, enjoyment, lots of friends - in other words a real holiday. So what about you? What are you waiting for? Make your reservations straight away! Goodbye, see you soon, John and Mary.
