Pra Delle Torri Holiday Park

1 reader found this review helpful

What a great site, having done quite a few of these holiday parks in France and Italy, I was not disappointed, the facilities on offer on this park are vast, especially good for younger children as the pools don’t just cater for teenagers.
At night there is a mini fun fair and bouncy play area, lots of places to eat on site all at good value for money.
The road network to Venice is straight forward and a must see if you can get there. Overall a fantastic place to stay

Although the camp was quieter as we were out of season, I can only add how rude we found some of the retail/restaurant /bar staff.
The sports bar was the only place with friendly management.
Don't order take away pizza from pizzeria unless you enjoy a 2 hour wait and being pushed out of the way when complaining!!

Was a little apprehensive having read the previous review but I needn't have worried.
Pra' Delle Torri is a great place when holidaying with kids - we love Italy but have previously gone to quieter places but our 5 year old is a bit more demanding these days so we compromised - Italian culture (especially food & wine!) for us, but activities for him.
We had tried to book directly but all the sites own caravans had gone so we booked through Eurocamp. It was quite a bit extra for no real added benefit (the reps weren't particularly great) so if you're thinking of going try direct first
The site itself is massive but is very clean and very well organised. There facilities are good - shops, restaurants, bars etc. So much so that we struggled to get the motivation to go into Caorle (4 miles away) for more than a couple of nights out. The swimming pools are fantastic, especially for younger children. Myles had a great time on the 'baby karts', it pays to buy your tokens for these in bulk.
Admittedly, there were very few Brits there but I personally don't see this as a problem (in fact could be considered an advantage!) though it did mean that was quite difficult for Myles to make friends as the kids are obviously not as good at learning English as their parents. Did not come up against a single language problem with any of the staff who were all (bar one exception) extremely helpful. In one of the gift shops I agree with the other reviewer you did feel as though you were being watched but in reality this is just a lower tech form of CCTV!
One thing that really surprised me was the prices on the site whether in the restaurant, supermarket, greengrocers etc. I had expected them to be quite high considering they've got a captive market but not at all. Everything was very reasonable.
The nearby town of Caorle is pretty unremarkable to be honest, especially if you've experienced the likes of Tuscany, Amalfi, Sicily etc. but it has a nice beach and a few reasonable shops and restaurants. It is an easy drive into Caorle with free parking about 5 or 10 minutes walk out of town. There is a water park and fairground by the car park. On a Saturday there is a large but not particularly good market on the site of the car park so if you fancy it take the bus (plus if you fancy a few drinks on a night out) which stops right outside the site, and the bus station in the town is right next to the market. I think the cost was Euro1.50 per person each way so doesn't cost a lot either.
We went to Venice for the day which I had hoped would be a shorter journey but maybe it was just the route we took - we drove to Punta Sabbione which took 45-60mins then another 45 minutes on a ferry. It made it quite a long day, which couple with dragging Myles around, meant we only did it the once. Also went to Lido di Jesolo for the day which again was a bit uninspiring.
One word of warning. We had big problems with mosquitos whilst out there. There is obviously a problem as they 'disinfect' the site twice a week, so take plenty of mozzy spray. We'd forgot and the stuff they sold on site didn't seem particularly effective and wasn't that cheap.
All in all, a very good holiday.
