Description

DON'T GO ON THE WRONG VACATION!

BEFORE MAKING ANY DECISIONS, PLEASE READ THIS DOCUMENTATION IN DETAIL.
This is not a commercial site.
WE WELCOME YOU TO OUR HOME.
We'll be close by, in complete discretion, without interfering in your organization, your privacy or your project, BUT AVAILABLE 24H/24H IF YOU ASK US, to help, advise or guide you.

On our property, with a deliberately limited number of campers (10 to 25 people per day, depending on the busy tourist season in the region), we want to share with you the riches of a region, its landscapes and the kindness of its people, in an unspoilt setting, far from any nuisance.

Our primary motivation is to enable travelers to enjoy an exceptional setting and environment.
For this reason, we only welcome travelers for a period of TWO NIGHTS MINIMUM ON SITE. (We do not accept one-night stays).

Our 3-hectare terraced plot is situated in a valley with a small river running through it.
There are no immediate neighbors, no nearby roads, and it's in the heart of the Parc Naturel des Cinq terres.

Unmarked tent pitches ranging in size from 40 to 150 m² ensure peace, discretion and silence.
ensure peace, discretion and silence.

TO AVOID ANY MISUNDERSTANDING
AND TO PRESERVE THE TRANQUILLITY OF THE SITE AND OUR GUESTS
Every "camper" wishing to stay on our site at "Castiglione Chiavarese" declares that he/she has read and accepts the following general conditions of stay:
We welcome you to our private campsite.

VERY IMPORTANT :
OUR ORGANIZATION AND PERSONAL CONSTRAINTS OBLIGATE US TO ASK YOU TO TAKE ALL NECESSARY PRECAUTIONS TO BE PRESENT AT 4:30 PM ON THE DAY OF YOUR ARRIVAL.
Unfortunately, we will not be able to welcome you beyond this time, nor, depending on circumstances, on the following day(s).

A MAXIMUM OF ONE VEHICLE AND PASSENGERS PER SITE AND BOOKING. Additional vehicles and passengers require an additional DIFFERENTIAL RESERVATION.

Access from the village is via a small tarmac road. Because of the exceptional tranquility of the area, the last hundred meters to our property are on a private, slightly sloping, unpaved road, which is perfectly passable.

Your pitch must be vacated by 2 p.m. on the day of your departure.

No individual electric sockets on pitches. Numerous sockets are available in the sanitary facilities and communal areas (suitable power only for telephones, computers, razors, kettles, dryers, etc.). Not for electric hotplates).


Most of our pitches are large enough for cars. If not, cars will be parked safely and close to your equipment.


For safety reasons and to ensure the well-being of our guests, children must remain under the supervision of their parents at all times, and must not wander the site alone or disturb the peace and quiet.

  • Are you looking for a peaceful, quiet place surrounded by nature?
    Don't hesitate, Serge is the place for you!
    A charming village and people, very good advice for discovering the area, an authenticity that will make us come back soon...???? Serge

  • Serge is an exceptional person,
    He greets people like a GO!
    He knows his region like the back of his hand and is the king of good tips!
    The pitches are great!
    The sanitary facilities are top-notch and extra clean.
    He provides fridges, which is cool because we were there during a heatwave, so it was very much appreciated!
    The river with its basin at the bottom of the site is a welcome refresher.
    The site's location is great for visiting the Cinque Terre and Portofino, etc...
    Thank you

  • For lovers of nature and authenticity, this place is perfect! The little village is adorable, the grounds are superbly beautiful and the river is ideal for cooling off! We really appreciated Serge's straightforward, friendly personality. He made us feel very welcome.

  • Quite simply a magnificent site

  • A little piece of paradise in the protected Cinque Terre Park, with a river, where comfort is abundant and the host is very committed :-)

  • Great place! There's everything you need to be happy, everything is well organized and even music in the showers, a luxury!
    We visited the Cinque Terres villages by bus and train on Serge's good advice. We had a very good pizza at the bar in Castiglione Chiavarese, and not at all expensive! We did our shopping in the village's two small grocery stores and refreshed ourselves in the river below Serge's property.
    A little paradise that we really enjoyed.

  • What can I say about these 3 days? Everything here is atypical, charming and relaxing! First Serge, our host! What a character!!! A real adventurer who, under his gruff exterior, is a charming man who always gives good advice!
    The setting! At the end of a road, at the end of the village, after the "l'Amore" bend, Serge has created a haven of peace! A few terraced pitches slope gently down to a refreshing stream????!
    Impeccable sanitary facilities and a convivial space under the pretty covered terrace to share with others! All amenities, sockets, fridges... And lots of useful information to help you enjoy the area and get out and about! Our only regret is not having been able to stay longer to get to know Serge better!
    We'll be back with pleasure!

  • A really lovely place, very serene, with narrow terraces leading down to a river where, at this time of year, there's still a tiny pool of water with lots of little fish, which you shouldn't forget when you go for a swim, a very pleasant place to cool off.

    As the description indicates, the site offers every comfort in pretty wooden cabins.
    Serge, the host, keeps everything clean, and it's up to everyone to do the same.
    I really appreciated Serge's spirit of relaxation and respect for everyone and everything! ???? I can see the years of experience! And that's great!

    The site is far enough away to be quiet and perfectly located for visits to any destination, thanks to bus and train connections.
    Serge has put everything in place with descriptive sheets to explain everything according to your destinations, and also gives good local addresses for eating among other things.

    In short..... a big thank you Serge for everything you offer to travelers.

  • Beautiful, peaceful location not far from the Cinque terre . Possibility of taking the bus and then the train to discover these beautiful hilltop villages. Beautiful town of Stressi Levante . Serge gives good advice on visits and hikes. No communication problems. We had a pleasant stay and would have liked to extend it by a few days to enjoy the site even more.

  • Very satisfactory stay, facilities worthy of a real campsite, very clean, in the heart of nature, possibility of swimming in the river just a few metres away, good location with a 10-minute bus ride to the station. A very warm welcome with lots of advice/information to help you make the most of your stay.

  • Serge is very nice but gives too much information both in writing before your arrival and verbally once you're there (too much information kills information).
    The site is very beautiful and very well laid out.
    Be careful, the road is very difficult with a large vehicle.

  • In a magnificent wooded valley, between the steeples of picturesque villages, along a stream, in the peace and quiet of the beach and the hotspots of the 5 Terres.
    A well-organized welcome to keep things running smoothly!
    We'll be back

  • Very friendly welcome, absolute cleanliness and conveniences.
    I recommend staying with Serge.

  • We really enjoyed our short stay with Serge. Everything has been thought out and arranged to make you feel at home. Special mention should be made of the river at the bottom of the property, where we enjoyed a refreshing swim in the middle of August!

  • Incredible, peaceful location in the heart of nature. We spent a week exploring the area. Serge's precise directions for walks and swimming are very useful for those who like to get away from it all! ???? On site, the sanitary facilities/dining area/fridge .... are simply great for us long-term campers!

  • Perfect stay with Serge! The camp has all the amenities you need for a pleasant stay (showers, fridges, clean toilets, communal eating areas, quiet location). The advice and recommendations sent by Serge are super practical and useful for the stay.
    Small, winding road to get there, but it can be done! We would recommend

  • As described, you arrive in a quiet, natural setting, with the sound of cicadas. First home-camping experience for us. We stayed an extra night to explore the area. Far from the hustle and bustle of the villages of the Cinque Terre, which are accessible by coach and then train as described, it's pleasant to return to Castiglione in the evening. We loved everything about it, from the pizzas at the local bar to the wine cellars in the next village, and the kids playing in the river - in short, we can't recommend it highly enough!

  • Very pleasant stay with Serge! The grounds are perfect for lazing around. Our host's invaluable advice enabled us to make the most of this beautiful place. A wonderful experience!

  • Excellent welcome from Serge in his little corner of paradise, which was ours for these few days. We'll be back for sure. Thanks again Serge

  • Great stay with Serge! We highly recommend spending a few days with him ...

  • Quiet, very clean, nice and refreshing river...I recommend it.

  • Very warm welcome from our super-friendly host. Good advice on things to see and visit. Restaurant le sanctuaire to make traditional Italian cuisine a delight. Total change of scenery.

  • A great address! In the heart of nature, in a peaceful setting with a river running alongside the campsite. Serge does everything to ensure your stay goes smoothly, and gives us lots of good advice on what to do and where to go. A beautiful region far from the mass tourism of the coast. I really enjoyed

  • magnificent place, calm and relaxation guaranteed
    thank you sergio for your warm welcome

  • Great welcome from Serge, who gave us all the information we needed to have a good stay and visit the surrounding area. Ideal location for the 5 lands. Super-clean toilets and simple but well-thought-out facilities, nothing is missing. The icing on the cake was the fact that several of the families present at the camp were musicians. This gave us the opportunity for some great musical sharing. A real treat!

  • Great welcome from Serge, everything is very well organized, the quiet setting in the middle of nature is really top notch, the premises are super clean with little extras that are much appreciated, like a fridge, all in all a 100% successful stay, congratulations again to Serge for all the information provided to help you discover the region and also the good addresses recommended for a good meal ????????

  • We loved it. The land is great, a little river just down the road, all the explanations to visit. Serge is very friendly.

  • A very soothing and well thought out place away from the hustle and bustle. The river is a pure wonder. Serge is a very pleasant person. We will be back. Thank you

  • The site is great: quiet, in the nature, with few campers, the facilities are at the top. We are away from the crowd of the coast and the 5 lands. Nevertheless, the distance to visit the park is correct. The village and the surroundings are very pleasant. The reception and the advices of Serge are perfect. To be recommended!

  • Very good stay in the five lands with Serge who welcomes us in his little Italian paradise. Serge really tries to make our stay pleasant, he knows all the good plans, his land is 20 minutes from the train stations and boat departures as well as from the beaches. The river on site is a real plus. We recommend it.

  • Serge set up in an incredible location in the small Italian mountains near the Cinque Terre. The site was very well built with his own hands, he thought of everything for the comfort of the experience and gave us very good advice to visit the area. A great stay, I recommend!

  • Very good

  • Beautiful and well maintained land in the middle of the park from 5 lands. Serge is of good advice,
    Thanks to him for his welcome!

  • The place is magical,
    The setting is great, the cleanliness of the place and the sanitary facilities are exemplary.
    Serge is very kind, the region is full of discoveries. Unfortunately we had to shorten our stay but we hope to return as soon as possible. We were able to enjoy being on foot, you obviously have to like walking but everything is accessible, regular public transport. The small bar and grocery store in Castiglione are enough for everyday shopping. The locals are so welcoming too. We recommend this place 300%.

  • Stay of 5 days. Very nice campsite with a very cool river corner. We followed Serge's indications for our outings and it was always a very good experience.

  • Perfect! Super corner of nature, calm, small river...
    Thanks to you Serge, for your welcome.

  • Serge knew how to welcome us perfectly.
    The setting is magnificent
    The common areas are clean and cleaned regularly
    I recommend +++++
    Thanks to Serge for everything

  • Very pleasant stay in a quiet campsite with a warm and relaxed atmosphere! Train station to visit the villages of the 5 lands by train very close! So very convenient location and far from the bustle of the coast :)

  • Very good welcome, the campsite was super well placed with the water point nearby
    Thanks for the stay

  • We spent two nights on Serge's land. much too short for our taste because it is a simply beautiful place located in a valley on the edge of a river the property of the places The sanitary facilities and the shared places are very pleasant. 10 minutes from the garre to visit the 5 lands and 10 minutes also from the beach. Serge was a very pleasant host, with very good advice. We recommend this experience and will come back one day for a longer stay.

  • Great stay at Serge's place!
    We were supposed to spend two days there and we have extended our stay for two more days because the setting is really top! The place is very well located at 10 min from the sea by car, there are so many things to do around!

    Serge is a great person, helpful and caring!

    The place is very clean and very very well equipped to spend a great stay!

    We recommend without hesitation and we will surely return!

  • Perfect!

  • Ideally located, this place is a real haven of peace! We were able to visit the Cinque Terre without any problems and we spent perfect evenings in the calm of Serge's house... what more could we ask for? Thanks again for everything,
    Céline, Justine and Manon

  • Short stay in Castiglione to finish our vacations, quiet place with all the necessary facilities (table, fridge, freezer,..), very clean and well located away from the crowd to visit the 5 Lands. We would have liked to stay several days to discover all the charming little villages around and take advantage of Serge's many good tips!
    Thank you Serge for your welcome and your advice, see you soon!

  • We only spent two nights, but the place is superb. Serge welcomes his guests with great kindness and availability. Very well located, at the foot of the village, the bus and the train. Ideal to visit the Cinque Terre and its surroundings. Thank you very much

  • Everything went very well.

  • Many thanks Serge for the quality of the welcome and the information on the region!
    We will be happy to come back to this charming terraced campsite for the calm of the place and for the charm of the Cinque Terre!

  • Well, as Serge would say, I talk a lot, but there, frankly not easy to make short!
    Wow, what a welcome!! there is everything, the calm, the setting, the character, the environment, the kindness, the landscapes, the location in relation to the various centers of interest that we had ... in short, everything is top, the restaurant indicated by Serge, a hike in a site out of tourists, in short, everything we wanted, and frankly, what a pleasure we had to stay these 3 nights in this setting! top of the top, thank you!

  • Serge was very welcoming and friendly. The place is completely as described, clean sanitary / hot water, water in several places.

  • Concerning the uneasiness we felt during our reception, we spoke directly with Serge.

    The setting of the site is soothing, calm and in the middle of nature.
    Beware of the configuration of the place which requires a good mobility. The site is on a slope and the sanitary facilities/common area are located at the top of the site.

    Close to the train station to visit the 5 lands. Serge's advice for parking and getting there is good.
