Wij hadden voorkeur opgegeven voor een rustige ligging en schaduwplek. We kregen een mobilehome in de schaduw en een prachtige rustige ligging. Perfect dus, naar onze wensen. We misten een snijplank in de mobilehome.

* Stacaravan was prima en conform verwachting. * Camping in potentie mooi, maar vooral op sportaccomodaties, horeca en winkel onderkomen. * Zeer onvriendelijk personeel en lange wachttijden bij de receptie * Zwembad aardig, maar een afschuwelijke badmeester, die zeer autoritair is en steeds de discussie zoekt. * Horecapersoneel is ook ondermaats, op uitzonderingen na. * Strand is prima met een aardige strandwacht. * Winkel is redelijk uitgebreid en vriendelijk personeel. * Onderhoud terrein is matig/slecht met name ophalen vuilnis laat te wensen over. * Omgeving (Grado, Venetie en Triest) is leuk en goed te doen met de trein. * Veel muggen, maar in de apotheek krijg je prima cortisonzalf. Kortom: zolang je op het strand verblijft, uitstapjes maakt en in de buurt van je caravan blijft, is het prima, anders is het vooral ergeren.

Belvedere is mooie uitvalsbasis om streek en Venetië te verkennen. Begin Augustus is wel druk op de diverse stranden (alle Italianen op vakantie). Toch een 7 op 10

The Setting The Campsite is very big and the landscape and the trees look nice. It has a private beach with a bar and a beautiful view over the lagoon at Grado. It has a supermarket, a Pizzeria, two pools and many other sportfacilities. There are good and cheap connections for trips to Venice (75 minutes by train) and Trieste (75 minutes by ship) and Grado (5 km) has got loads of good restaurants. The Campsite itself is a mixed experience. It is big and you can see that it used to be a really good place. Those times seems to have past though. There are still really good things to enjoy. The pool is very good and the supermarket has got everything you need and more. There is a lot of shade from the trees and the mobile home in which we were staying was also of nice quality. The tenniscourts were in good shape. A lot of things were less good. The footballpitches were useless, even dangerous to play on while unattended. The beach is nice to look at and the view is spectacular, but the waterquality of the lagoon is disastrous. The bottom of the lagoon is thick mud in which you sink in over your angles. This is not a nice bathing experience. Grado has a nice beach though. WIFI is only possible in the reception area and costs extra. Some rules seems ridiculous. You have to wear a bathing hood in the pool like in the fifties. The hood does'nt have to cover your hair though? There are zillions of moskitos on the site... The staff The staff seems too small for such a big site. A few were unfriendly and not very hospitable. Other were nice and helpful. The lifeguards on the beach were all nice. The lifeguards at the pool were mostly very restrictive. There is no visible manager at the site and therefore things seems unorganized. Verdict If you want to use the site as a base for trips to Venice,Trieste, Verona etc. it is good. If you want a bathing holiday or a site with lots of activities for your kids I can't recommend it.

Now has Brand new Mobile Homes with air con. Site quiet with good amenities, shop, entertainment pool, sports etc. Only let down is the beach and sea bathing. Private beach with cafe facility, however the sand is minimal depth. The bathing area is in a lagoon, the sea water quality is poor and bathing shoes are recommended due to a thick mud bottom, after a few metres out from the shore
