Grande Italia Campsite
Grande Italia Campsite sits on Sottomarina's beachfront, 25km from Venice. This three-star parc gives you direct access to a completely renovated private beach section with gazebos and double sun loungers, plus a swimming pool with paddling area set in spacious, tree-shaded grounds. The beach bar and restaurant mean you can spend full days on the sand without leaving. You're 500 metres from both Sottomarina's seafront promenade and Chioggia's canal-lined streets, yet the parc feels peaceful and uncrowded.
Sottomarina stretches along a 10-kilometre Blue Flag beach with soft golden sand that slopes gently into the Adriatic. The mineral-rich sand has therapeutic properties. The seafront promenade runs the beach's length, lined with beach clubs, restaurants, bars, gelaterias and shops. One bridge connects you to Chioggia - known as Little Venice for its canals and colourful fishermen's houses. The morning fish market is one of the Adriatic's largest. Corso del Popolo runs through the town centre with churches, cafes and local shops. Venice is a 90-minute ferry ride through the lagoon.
Grande Italia Campsite offers mobile homes sleeping 4-6 people. The Classic range includes the Comfort Mobile Home (sleeps 4-5) with two bedrooms and the Family Mobile Home (sleeps 6) with three bedrooms. Both have covered decking, air conditioning and kitchen facilities. The Premium range features the Deluxe Mobile Home (sleeps 6) with three bedrooms, lounge decking and dishwasher.
Venice (25km) needs a full day - take the ferry from Chioggia to explore St Mark's Basilica, the Doge's Palace and Rialto Bridge. Chioggia itself (2.5km) has the morning fish market, canal-side streets and the Torre dell'Orologio clock tower. The Po Delta Nature Reserve (45km) is a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve with boat trips through wetlands where you'll see flamingos and herons. Murano, Burano and Torcello islands make a day trip by boat - glass factories, coloured houses and Byzantine mosaics.
Grande Italia Campsite works for families wanting beach access, pool facilities and Venice within reach. The private beach section, spacious grounds and direct location put you 500 metres from Sottomarina's promenade and Chioggia's canals, with Venice 25km away by ferry.
