Happy Village & Camping

Very bad experience no facilities whatsoever no handwash soap , no shampoo, no towel paid 2 euros for towel, very bad blanket I got allergy reaction every day, broken water tap in the sink, very cold at night, no nearby shops at all.

the most misleading and false advertisement of a place i’ve ever experienced. the photos online are absolutely not what the ‘bungalow’s’ look like in person, what i thought i was booking and to what we got in comparison was horrific. i thought we was getting a lovely modern and cosy bungalow but we turned up to a shipping container that looked like a prison inside and the odour was nothing i’ve experienced before, dead bugs inside and a dirty bathroom. i’d feel cleaner going to the toilet in a ditch outside. i can describe the overall accommodation as a bush tucker trial from i’m a celebrity, we felt so unsafe and dissatisfied that we lasted not even 24 hours here, we had to book another place to stay. i’d rather sleep on the streets of rome than endure another night in this place. it was booked for my sisters 30th, thank god we did book somewhere else otherwise it would have ruined our whole trip this place catfished me a good’un.

There are pros to this village but unfortunately the accommodation was very poor. I’ll start with the positives The restaurant food was delicious and reasonably priced the staff at the restaurant were also very pleasant. The pool was great. There is a shuttle bus to the train station and nearby town. Cons. We were a party of 2 adults and a child and we stayed in a standard bungalow which can only be described as a small container housing 3 beds which were extremely uncomfortable very old mattresses and broken slats causing backache. The shower room was very dirty with an exposed plug socket, the shower was mouldy. The toilet was dirty. There was an aircon unit, which was noisy and very temperamental. We were eaten alive by mosquitoes. there was a school party staying next to us that were very noisy all through the night, shouting swearing and playing loud music . The shop was extremely limited very expensive and we had no fridge or kitchen facilities at all. . I understand we booked a camp site and were by no means expecting luxury accommodation but when the description and photos on love holidays and their website were so misleading we felt taken for fools . Our room was Claustrophobic dirty and uncomfortable and we left after 4 days of our 7 day holiday. I wouldn’t recommend this place.

We went here with 2 kids (4 of us). Whilst I get that it's a little ignorant for us English people to expect English speaking, the lack of English speaking was evident. Throughout the whole place. The vending machine contactless never worked and when I asked for change from the front reception I was only given 5 euro max for some reason. Wouldn't give me any more so after a certain time you had no chance of buying water. We were also not given towels unless we paid 3 euros per towel. Of course, because it's all about how much they can get out of you. The staff were primarily rude apart from the guy who drives the bus. We had no kitchen in our room and it was dirty. We were supposed to have internet but despite seeing the WiFi on the list with 4 bars, it never connected to any of our devices even once. Having 2 kids with no internet was a whole lot of fun. Every morning we had a guy going around with a strimmer at 10 am, too. You needed to wear a hat for the pool but the lifeguard constantly ignored this for certain people. Sat there on his phone 90% of the time. The one restaurant had very few veggie options and you couldn't order Pizza until the evening for some reason. The breakfast option was a croissant or 5 euro pieces of tiny toast. It was too much to ask for the staff to make us something. The restaurant charged us 8 euros every single time we ate, as a service charge. Just for a bit of paper to sit on the table. It certainly wasn't for the service. Regularly, a meal for 4 of us and some water was coming to 70-80 euros plus. It's an absolute rip-off in the restaurant. The water was charged (tap water) at 1 euro, and then after a few days, 2 euro 50 bizarrely. Not sure what happened to make it more expensive. Tap water should be free!!! The one "shop" had about 10 items in it and was not replenished the whole week we were there. all in all, the place just doesn't offer anything but the expense and they rely on being in the middle of nowhere and having one restaurant and one "shop"

This place was superb!. Basic but clean, comfortable accommodation.. The Morabeza restaurant on site was me and my youngest son's favourite feature of our trip. The food and decor were lovely and the staff so friendly and clearly enjoying their work. Delightful. Daniel, Milton Keynes, England

Friendly staff, pool was still open in October which is rare (it was 28c), and the location meant you could have quiet of an evening. We did have swim caps but it was too cold for me 🙈. We had a little cabin which had wifi and air con and our own shower room. Almost everything you need… You need to bring your own kettle (my mistake), and make sure you have euros in cash for the train to Rome. Also highly recommend the Egyptian looking pizzeria just along from the train station, really friendly staff and delicious pizza. Top tips I wish I knew. Bring a kettle and cups. Bring Euros. The train to Rome is easy however the machine to get tickets seems to not work very often and you have to go across the road to a little shop and pay in euros cash only for a ticket. The hotel bus drops you off at the station -just read the timetables - coming back it’s the platform to the left walking in (2). Use the bus service in to prima porta to stock up on any groceries eg fruit/pre cooked eg croissants - as although the hotel has a shop it’s teeny tiny and not much in it. If I could fit a kettle and remember euros I’d definitely stay again for the pool for the kid, welcoming environment, and chance to escape the heat/noise of the eternal city at night.

It was a great place .The only problem was the restaurant and the restaurant staff.they leave you waiting a long time , unless you are Italian,and on three occasions we went at different times and they were only doing the set menu even though we were given a pizza menu as well but no one informed me until I ordered two pizzas so we had to order from the set menu.there are two very good restaurants in prima porta but go early evening because the last shuttle bus service is at 21:00.
