Camping Village Roma Capitol

“Overall good holiday and well maintained site”

We are a family of 5, 4 adults and 16 year old and have stayed on many campsites over the years in various countries.

We are a family of 5, 4 adults and 16 year old and have stayed on many campsites over the years in various countries. The campsite is really well maintained and staff are very friendly and excellent location if wanting to visit Rome. We stayed with Eurocamp and the caravan was situated at the far end of site meaning long walks to the amenities. Only 1 pool complex was open whilst we were there. It was really good, clean although swim hats are required in the water and you have pay for sunloungers. There are places you can leave your stuff if you dont want to pay. The restaurant was nice, good menu choice and you can takeaway most things. The supermarket was poor for the size of the site. Not much choice and very expensive. There is a supermarket 20 minute walk away. The shuttle service to beach and railway station was very good and required as site is quite isolated. Would recommend but be prepared to pay if you want to travel outside of site and do a lot of walking.

“Cheap base, but huge site, strict rules and you NEED a car!”

I viated with my 15 year old daughter. We had a 2 bed Eurocamp caravan. Booked through sun holidays, so very cheap. Dated but functional. All we wished for was a base and aircon!

I viated with my 15 year old daughter. We had a 2 bed Eurocamp caravan. Booked through sun holidays, so very cheap. Dated but functional. All we wished for was a base and aircon! The shower broke, the toilet wouldnt flush, there was no plug in the sink and the blade broke off the knife - all though were sorted by the Eurocamp member of staff Carlos. We also had a late check out of 4pm as our flight was late. Th things to be wary off. You will need a swim hat in the pool - think a swimming lesson cap! The pool was gorgeous, but off the pools only one was open. All toilets and changing facilities are spotless. There is little shade and you have to pay for loungers and brollies. If we had been tjere for.longer id have bought some.chairs.from the supermarket and brought them along! Site supermarket is good, but pricey. We used Carrefour in Ostia a lot. Now Ostia is a bit of a dive and a bit of a drive. We didnt have a car and we spent a small fortune on.taxis. thw shuttle.from the campsite just about matched a taxi for us both of us. If we'd been with the rest of the family a taxi would have been cheaper everytime. Trains though were cheap and efficient. We found we could be at Rome Termini within an hour of.leaving the site. We traveled from thw airport using the Leonardo express rhen put our bags in a left luggage, looked about and used the train to get to Osita on the first day. We had a rechargeable travel card. 2 days exploring Rome. Then we had one day in Florence, an early start but 16 euros each from Rome to Florence business class booked in advance. Was a bargin compared to the uk! Lovley air con, and wifi with huge seats. Made a day inFlorence very doable in the heat. We couldn't face getting train back to the airport so we got a taxi. I used freeway as thats the italian Uber but I was charged 75 euros.... which is extortionate when it was a 15/20 min trip. Complained and got it reduced to 38 euros. So a bit of a warning there! Overall, we were grateful of the cheap base and we did everything we wanted to.do but I wouldnt visit again.

We were booked in for 2 weeks - we did not enjoy the experience s much as e had expected consider how much we paid. Yes the pool ws clean, yes the acomadation was clean but small, yes the sit shop was grand but on the negative side - -staff in the restaurent mainly were disinterestd and often confused about the menu and often got the bills wrong -staff in the reception were not overly friendly or helpful -the shuttle bus only goes to two destinations. - the station and a beach. The beach is just a beach with no tourist shops or restaurents - its quite residential. There is one beach club that can pay t ogo into that has a restaurent but be careful of opening hours. One day we got a white taxi for 17e to Ostia Centro where there is a clothes shopping steet. -thr tain from the tain to rome is great - probably takes thje sae time to gt from the amp to the station as it does rom the station to Rome. Our advice- If you walk left out of the campsite for about 10mins (their is susposedly a no5 public but but it is incredibly unreliable) there is a nice restaurent called Nonnas (be careful - steak i charged by the ounz) If you go 10mins to the right you will find a big supermarket called Conad. Opposite is a pizzeri and bar. -if you con go a urther 10/15 and turn left at the big round about you come to Ostia Antica - a really picturesque and quant town with lovely little restaurents clusterd around a square and castle. Also just 1 min out side the vilage is a site similar to Pompey.
