Camping & Village Santa Fortunata

At Santa Fortunata, a hot holiday day is all about choosing between the pool and the sea. First, you take a refreshing dip in the spacious pool, which is surrounded by greenery and has a relaxing atmosphere. Thanks to the gradual entry, even younger children can comfortably enter the water, while from your lounger you look out over flowers, trees and the hills around the coast. Here, everything feels just a little quieter than at a busy vacation park, allowing you to really take time to relax between swims. If you prefer to feel salt on your skin, follow the path to Scoglio di Gaio. This rocky plateau by the sea gives this campsite a distinctive look. No wide sandy beach full of noise, but a natural place where the water shimmers brightly, and the coastline is the backdrop to a long summer day. You descend among the greenery, find a nice spot on the rocks and then jump into the sea for a cooling dip. It is this alternation between swimming pool, shady resting spots and swimming in the open sea that gives this camping vacation in Sorrento something extra.

There is also plenty to do outside the water at Santa Fortunata. Your children will climb, slide and swing in the playground while you enjoy the relaxed atmosphere that pervades the grounds. During the vacations, the animation team provides variety in the day, with a mini-club, activities for older children and sporting moments where new vacation friends are quickly made. During the day, there is a cosy energy, and as soon as night falls, the campsite comes alive again with entertainment that ends the day in an atmospheric way. Sporty guests also find their rhythm easily here. A game of soccer or a tournament with other vacationers immediately livens up an afternoon, while fitness activities provide extra exercise under the Italian sun. Afterwards, the panoramic terrace of the Campogaio restaurant beckons. There, a pizza from the wood-fired oven tastes even better with a view of the Gulf of Sorrento and the colours of the evening sky in the background. The menu also features dishes from the region, allowing you to experience the atmosphere of southern Italy at the table as well. For the small, practical moments during your stay, the mini market comes in handy, with fresh local produce and sandwiches for a day out. And if you want to take a quick trip into town, the shuttle bus will take you to the centre of Sorrento in a short time.

The centre of Sorrento is about 1.5 to 2 kilometres away. You can walk there for an evening among narrow streets, stores and cosy squares, or take the shuttle bus if you want to be in town quickly. Sorrento has exactly that Italian atmosphere that makes families happy: an ice cream on a terrace, a quick browse in boutiques and then look out over the sea together. Close to the campsite is also Bagni della Regina Giovanna, a short distance from the site. This natural seaside resort near the remains of a Roman villa feels like a special getaway that effortlessly blends swimming and culture. For families who like to explore, this represents a place with that little something extra. Those looking to get out into nature can drive about 20 minutes to Punta Campanella, in the protected coastal area of Massa Lubrense. There await hiking trails along the sea and views that will automatically give you pause. Fancy a day full of history? From Sorrento, you can easily travel by Circumvesuviana to Pompeii, an impressive destination about 27 kilometres away. This way you can effortlessly alternate a relaxing camping day with a lively city atmosphere, nature and culture.
