GUEST REVIEWS
What our guests say
“
We rented a safari tent here for a week and we loved every moment of it! The children (7, 10 and 12) didn't really want to leave after a week; lots of Dutch families with children of all ages.
The campsite is beautifully located. Plenty of shade. The pool is lovely.
For day trips you do need to drive a bit first, but we didn't find that a problem.
The pizza evening was great fun. The owners are incredibly helpful and friendly.
We don't usually go back to the same campsite, but with Casa Tartufo we wouldn't rule it out.

A wonderful, peaceful campsite in beautiful surroundings. We stayed in apartment Sei, a great and beautiful apartment with everything you need.
We especially appreciated the tips on what's worth visiting in the area that we got from Sabine!
The pizza evenings were lovely, delicious homemade pizzas by Benjamin made it all complete!
Thank you, dear Sabine and Benjamin, we don't say this lightly, but we'd love to come back to your beautiful campsite again!

We got to stay for a week at the end of May, beginning of June at this lovely charm campsite.
We were allowed to choose our own pitch, which ended up being spot no. 1.
Amazing view, everything within reach, and in the evening a fantastic view of the lit-up pool.
Benjamin and Sabine really gave us a lovely week with the bread-roll service, great tips and wonderful stories.
If you like a bit of a quiet campsite in a beautiful setting, this is a great choice 👍

We had another fantastic week. Wonderful place, spacious apartment and great walks to be had. In the evenings we ate wonderfully at the various restaurants recommended by Ben & Sabine, the owners of Casa Tartufo. We didn't camp ourselves, but the pitches are certainly spacious. And definitely not forgetting the pool, lovely spacious and clean swimming pool. We enjoyed it with 10 friends.

Casa Tartufo is a nice an quiet camping. It is perfect to relax by the pool, visit the villages around or to go for a hike. There are always nice and open people around.
The pizza-event the owners organize is a good way to meet other visitors and it's very delicious!

We had wonderful days at Casa Tartufo. The surroundings are beautiful. For breakfast, the owners provide delicious croissants and baguettes. The wine tasting and pizza evening were a great success. Lovely apartments, shaded camping pitches and a large swimming pool. We'd love to come back again.
