Camping La Spiaggia, Via Europa, 22-06065 Passignano sul Trasimeno, Tel
+39 075 827246.
To find site:- Leave A1 motorway signed for Perugia. After about 20
miles take the Passignano Est exit. At end of slip road turn right
towards town. After crossing railway level crossing La Spiaggia is the
second campsite on the right and is well signed.
Camping La Spiaggia has a lovely situation on the shores of Lake
Trasimeno a short distance from the centre of Passignano sul Trasimeno.
The people that run the site are friendly and helpful a speak good
English. It’s a fairly small site with just over 50 pitches all of which
are for touring units, there are no statics on site. The area on the
lakeside is kept free of pitches to allow campers space to relax near
the Lake. The pitches vary in size but most are quite well sized
although the position of some of the very mature trees can make getting
the best out of the size a bit difficult, especially those pitches near
to the lake’s edge. Pitches are on grass but because of use on some
pitches the grass has been destroyed leaving a compacted earth surface.
Water points are dotted around the site. Electric supply is rated at 6
amps and connectors are standard CEE17 blue plugs. Best to check for
reverse polarity. The toilet block is of a good quality and kept clean
although a bit gloomy if the sun is not out during the day. The
disappointing aspect is that, in both ladies and gents,
of the five
toilet cubicles only two have pedestal toilets and the rest are Turkish
hole in the ground type. The pedestal toilets do have seats but no paper
is provided. Washing machines are provided at an extra charge but no
tumble dryer. In the low season bread can be ordered at reception the
day before. The site does have a bar, shop and swimming pool but only
the bar was open at the weekend during our stay towards the end of May.
Given the tree cover on site setting up a satellite could be a
challenge, the best places are either near the swimming pool or those
pitches overlooking the lake.
Free WiFi is available and reception will issue you with a
code. It seems to cover most of the site although I did find it a little
inconsistent particularly during the evenings. There is a little railway
noise but we did not find it very intrusive.
La Spiaggia
accepts the ACSI Card in the low season.
This is a good spot to just relax by the lake. However excursions to
Perugia and Assisi are possible from the site. The town of Passignano is
about 1km away and the railway station a bit further. Boats leave the
town for the islands in Lake Trasimeno. There is a new supermarket on
the way out of town and a couple of filling stations.
