Frate Leone In Piombino

03/10/2025: We spent 4 nights at your excellent campsite. The welcome was very warm, the toilets were very clean, and there was a good restaurant and pizzeria. We'll be back.

03/10/2025: Not a bad campsite in itself. You should definitely reserve in advance. The pitches might be a bit tight, but if you know your car, it's fine. The many trees offer plenty of shade. You'll receive a friendly welcome, especially the woman in the evenings who was very accommodating. Electricity costs about €4 extra per day, but cell phones can be left at reception for charging. If you want to use Wi-Fi, you'll have to pay a lot; a higher data plan would definitely be better. We didn't use the pool or wellness area, but you don't have to wear swimming caps, which is quite common here. The restaurant is also really good; you get very tasty food for little money, and the coffee and other drinks are also excellent. The furniture is a bit old, so you're likely to bump into a tabletop every now and then. The chairs are rather uncomfortable. The supermarket has a small but sufficient, sometimes rather expensive, selection. The site is quite family-friendly, so many children were there during their holidays. Now for the worst part: the restrooms. I can live with the fact that the building isn't the most modern; I've seen others that have that. There are definitely proper toilets and toilet paper. Clean? Well. At first glance, yes. With how often the cleaning staff are there, you'd assume everything is sparkling clean. Unfortunately, this isn't necessarily the case. Hair in the sink, on the floors, and in the shower. A squashed mosquito was stuck to the wall of one toilet for three days. Often it smells so horribly of rotten drains that it almost makes you vomit. I don't know if that's healthy. The fixtures are not only terribly calcified and worn, but also covered in black mold. That was truly the most disgusting thing I've ever seen at a campsite. As soon as more than two people are showering, the water temperature drops noticeably. Considering that the campsite isn't cheap and was full, at least on our trip, you'd think they could spend a bit of money on improvements.
