This Bristol Brood A family travel blog featuring all things Bristol and beyond.

I'm Angharad, a West Country-championing, neon-obsessed, gin-loving mama of three feral - sorry, 'spirited' kids. Here on this blog, I share my expert knowledge of Bristol, ideas for family days out and seasonal events to help you make the most of your time in the city. You'll also find recommendations for places to holiday with children in destinations around the world.

It's been a minute (only took almost a year to write up) but my full hu Altomincio village review is finally up!

Ten days at Eurocamp Official's brilliant Lake Garda parc with three kids, plus everything you need to know about the cycle path, pools, day trips to Venice and Verona, and our honest verdict.

Send this to anyone planning an Italian summer ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น

Honest Hu Altomincio Village review - our family stay at Eurocamp's Lake Garda parc. Pools, day trips, costs and best pitches to book.

Thinking of a family getaway to Lake Garda? We loved this Eurocamp Official site just 10 minutes from the lake, on the banks of the River Mincio.

Why we loved it:

๐Ÿก The Setup: It fit our family of five quite happily in a 3 bedroom mobile, which had air con, and a dishwasher. Tip: Request a spot at the end of the site near the pools and the entrance to the riverside path.

๐Ÿ’ฆ Waterpark: Swimming pools, a spongy-floored lagoon for little ones, and slides that kept the kids busy for hours.

๐ŸŽญ Beyond the Pool: High ropes, mini golf, night markets, evening entertainment, traffic-free cycle paths to Peschiera and picturesque Borghetto.

Perfect for different age groups too - from our four year old to older tweens.

A great base: Youโ€™re perfectly placed for exploring towns around the lake e.g Sirmione, and Lazise, or day trips to Verona (20 mins - book on thetrainline.com) and Venice (90 mins). ๐Ÿฐ๐ŸทWe also travelled 2 hours to Florence from here.

Itโ€™s a summer hotspot! Head out early for the sights, then retreat to the pool in the afternoon to snag a lounger and a cheeky Aperol. ๐Ÿน

One of our favourite holidays to date. Whoโ€™s ready for an Italian summer? ๐Ÿ•๐Ÿฆ
