Resort in Italy? You didn't think it would be this cheap!

Well, neither did I!

So here I was, finally planning a trip to Italy! It was on our wish list for more than 5 years but you know how it goes... you want to go somewhere, but then something happens, or money is short (or both), and you have to change plans. But I've learned that when we really want something, we can make it happen!

And we did make it happen! June 2014 we flew from NY to Milan (a ticket that I bought 8 months in advance and paid MUCH less for it! Did I mentioned it was Emirates Airlines? Oh, they are goood!).

I planned to go to 2 different parts of Italy: Florence/Tuscany and Amalfi Coast. In this post, I will only share one specific tip for the Tuscany trip... get ready, because it's big. Really, NO ONE knows about this (except for your new travel agent - that would be me :)

You can book a resort in Italy for $50/night. HA! Told you this was going to be good!

Nope, I didn't mistype the number. It's really only $50 per night for 2 adults and 2 kids (possibly more kids for the same price).

One of the two main pool areas!

Bare with me for a moment as I explain how this is possible (and no, you don't have to participate in a presentation to be part of a timeshare... this is the regular price! No catch!).

So Europe has something called camping resorts. They offer camping sites where you can bring your own tent, your motorhome OR you can rent a mobile home in the property. These mobile homes are so CUTE it looks like you are inside a doll house, but much bigger. They offer 2 or 3 bedrooms, full bathroom, full kitchen with pans, pots, silverware, plates, cups, fridge, microwave, stove and some offers dishwasher.

Ok, so how much these AMAZING, cute, comfortable mobile homes costs in June per night? Yes, $50 for the family.

This was the boys' room. They loved it!!!

What else besides the cool mobile homes, you ask? Oh you better sit down for this:

- 3 restaurants

- 1 mini market

- Gelateria

- 2 big pool areas

- Playground

- Mini golf

- Game room

- Kids activities

- Fitness room

- Wait for it... nightly entertainment! 

Somethings like nightly entertainment, fitness club, pool, playground are included in your stay. The restaurants and market, of course, you pay for your food but you have the option to eat the restaurant or to buy ingredients and cook at your doll house, I mean, mobile home.

Check out some great moments we had there:

This camping resort is about 1 hour from Tuscany! So if enjoying Italian culture at the hotel (which, believe me, there is plenty of it) is not enough for you, you can do a day trip to Tuscany to see David from Michelangelo and some other awesome attractions of this amazing city (more in a future post). 

For now, think about this: ITALY + RESORT + FUN FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY + SUMMER=  ABOUT $50/DAY = CHEAP!

As always, let me know when you are ready to receive more information about this!! I know other camping resorts near Milan, Rome and Venice!
