FAQ
How far is it from the sea?
PuntAla Camp & Resort enjoys a direct seafront position, but as the site is very large there are areas that can be up to a maximum of 350 metres away.
Are the pitches shaded?
The campsite extends over about 30 hectares of pine forest.
The layout, the vegetation, the setting and the level of shade can vary depending on the position of the individual pitch.
Can I bring my dog or cat?
Pets are accepted at our resort in limited numbers; during the booking process you can add the pet supplement, which is shown below the available rates.
If the “Pet Friendly” option is not available, it means that the maximum number of animals allowed on site for that period has been reached and you will therefore not be able to bring your pet with you.
Animals are not allowed on the private beach.
The public beach in the municipality of Castiglione (to the left of the equipped beach, looking out to sea) allows animals to pass through only, while the one in the municipality of Scarlino (to the right of the equipped beach, looking out to sea) allows animals both to pass through and to stay.
Our internal regulations, containing all the information you need, are available on the website.
Is there a maximum occupancy for accommodation units and pitches?
Some of our units can host a maximum of 5 adults + 1 child, others 4 adults, others up to 6 people (please see the detailed data sheet in the Accommodation section). No more than 6 people can be registered on a pitch.
What is included in the price in terms of accommodation equipment? Do I need to bring anything?
Bed and bath linen, the main kitchen equipment and tableware are provided. Tablecloths and napkins are not included: we suggest you bring them from home. For greater clarity, please note that the prices calculated by the online booking system include: VAT, electricity supply, water supply, furnishings, crockery, cutlery and general kitchen equipment, outdoor area with table and chairs, weekly change of bed and bath linen, entertainment activities for children and adults (except for certain specific shows), playground (except for certain specific facilities) and a parking space within the grounds of the accommodation.
Do your accommodation units have travel cots or other special equipment for children?
Guests booking one of our accommodation units can request travel cots without linen or mattress, or bed rails and high chairs.
As the number of items available is limited, we recommend booking them in advance.
Is there enough room to fit a cot or travel cot inside the accommodation unit?
Yes, in the double bedroom, but only in the Home Limo type for 4 and 6 people.
In the other rooms, in any type of unit, but exclusively in the living area.
The interior furnishings of the unit cannot be removed to make space.
Why do the mobile homes sometimes feel “unstable”?
Mobile homes can feel “unstable” because, unlike brick-built houses, they rest on a steel frame without concrete foundations.
This can cause slight vibrations caused by movement inside or by the wind, but it is neither a defect nor a dangerous condition: it is an inherent feature of this construction system.
The home is designed to absorb and compensate for these small movements without compromising stability.
The Crippa Easy and Wave mobile homes are built with lightweight but strong materials, ensuring insulation, structural safety and compliance with European standards.
These units offer comfort and sustainability while maintaining stability and safety.
How much electric cable do you recommend bringing?
The distance from the electricity supply columns varies from pitch to pitch. We recommend bringing an extension lead of at least 25 metres. Ready-made cables are available at our on-site bazaar.
Where can I buy an electric cable?
Ready-made cables to suit your needs are available at our on-site bazaar.
Can I put up a tent on my camper pitch?
A maximum of two additional tents per pitch may be set up free of charge (on any pitch category, except those equipped by the campsite), provided that the maximum number of 6 registered people is not exceeded.
I have left my tent at home — do you sell or rent out tents of your own?
Small tents, mats, sleeping bags and other typical camping items are available at the on-site bazaar.
Can I park my vehicle on the pitch?
Only campervans, motor caravans, motorhomes and roof-tent vehicles approved for overnight stays in campsites may remain beyond the 2 hours allowed for loading and unloading luggage, and only on the designated pitches.
Some exceptions can be made if safety conditions are guaranteed in some form. Otherwise, cars must be parked outside the site, in the designated car parks belonging to the resort.
Why are motorbikes and scooters not allowed on site?
In order to protect the peace and safety of our guests. A dedicated car park is however available in front of the resort entrance.
Is the WiFi free?
Internet access is public, in “free wifi” mode, with no time or data restrictions.
PLEASE NOTE: if you need it for professional use, we suggest you arrange a different and more reliable connection.
The quality of the free public service we offer may be affected by the high number of users connected.
Do you have separate waste collection?
A door-to-door separate waste collection service is active within the resort.
The bags for the different types of waste can be collected free of charge at the resort Market.
Once full, the bags must be left at the roadside, near your pitch or accommodation unit, exclusively between 07:00 and 09:00, so that they can be correctly collected by the staff in charge.
We ask our guests not to leave the bags outside overnight, in order to avoid problems caused by the wildlife present in the area.
How far is the nearest town from the resort?
The nearest towns are about 9/10 km away: Punta Ala, Follonica and Castiglione della Pescaia. Inside the resort there is a Market where you can find the main food items, 2 bars/restaurants and a well-stocked shop for newspapers, tobacco and a selection of camping, clothing and beach items.
Are there public transport connections to/from the main towns?
Public transport connections are not very frequent.
There is however a scheduled bus service connecting Follonica station with our resort.
A taxi service is also available at the station.
The main car rental companies are present in the area.
What are the restaurant opening hours?
Restaurant service hours are as follows: 8:00-10:00 (breakfast); 12:30-14:30 (lunch); 19:00-22:00 (dinner). These times may vary according to the season.
Is booking necessary and compulsory for the restaurants?
Booking at both restaurants is recommended but not compulsory, and is made in person directly at the restaurants.
Can I purchase board packages once I am already on site?
The two on-site restaurants serve à la carte menus only. Board packages are therefore not available.
Is there entertainment for children?
Our entertainment service differs from standard animation activities thanks to daytime “programmes” for pre-school and school-age children.
In the evening there are also variety shows, mostly free of charge and only occasionally subject to a fee, for adults too.
Is there a doctor on site?
The service standards of our category provide for an on-call doctor available at the resort.
Is there a bike storage facility within the resort?
Bike storage is available inside the Trail Center for a limited number of bikes.
For information and prices, please contact the Trail Center directly.
Is the equipment needed for tennis or for sailing lessons available on site?
The tennis courts are subject to a fee, as is the rental of rackets and balls.
The sailing school provides its students with all the necessary equipment (for hygiene reasons we nevertheless recommend bringing your own wetsuit, gloves, boots or other gear if you already have them).
I have an electric car — can I charge it?
Yes, we have 10 shaded parking spaces dedicated to this service which, as at charging stations in town or along main roads, are available by appointment, at market prices, using the universal connection system of the Wallbox sockets they are fitted with.
What should I do in an emergency?
There is an emergency management system that includes an evacuation plan for emergencies (fire, flood, etc.). We invite you to read it once you are at the resort.
The start of the evacuation procedure is in any case signalled by repeated siren sounds.
Do you carry out / have you recently carried out mosquito control treatment?
The mosquito is a very common native insect, typical of the marshland bordering some areas of the resort.
When and if weather conditions allow, night-time treatments are carried out using insecticides that are completely harmless to the health of adults and children.
As a further precaution, guests are usually asked not to hang out clothes or other fabrics on the veranda during the treatment, which is announced in advance.
Why can I not book the dates I would prefer?
There is probably no availability for one of the selected dates.
Reset the search calendar by bringing your stay forward or postponing it.
There are no restrictions requiring particular days of the week for arrivals and departures.
Why is there no swimming pool?
We believe that our best pool is the “natural” one that slopes gently from the shoreline into the sheltered, safe waters of our seafront.
