Tip from our team
If you are booking your first trip to Gitavillage Il Gabbiano, here is what our specialists recommend for a smooth experience. First, remember that this is a "car-free" zone. You can drive up to your accommodation to drop off your luggage, but keep your vehicle in the designated parking area afterward. It keeps the grounds quiet and safe, but bring a small wagon or trolley if you have lots of beach gear! For the best experience, try to arrive in the morning to beat the check-in queue, though the staff are excellent at getting families settled quickly. If you are staying in a lodge, the outdoor verandas are the real highlight—bring a small portable speaker or a good book, as these become your primary living area in the warm Italian evenings. Regarding food, while the on-site restaurant is great for a casual "lazy" dinner, do as the locals do and head into Albinia for your main grocery shops to get the freshest produce. Finally, don't miss the sunset on the beach. It’s a ritual here; grab a drink from the bar, walk the 100 meters to the shore, and watch the sky change color. Guests often tell us this is the "memory of the trip." It’s these simple, unscripted moments that make this spot special.

Not recommended“Campsite, because it cannot be defined as a resort. I stayed, in August 2026, in a masonry cottage, good in terms of space but terrible for cleanliness. Bathroom and kitchenette, fortunately never used, extremely dirty. Advice: if you go there, do not use the half or full board service; the food is not bad, but you are treated like second-class, if not third-class, customers. Instead of being able to use the outdoor tables, you are forced to eat in a room at about 122°F and you are neglected. The menu is monotonous and with little choice, and it is better not to comment on the dessert. At the reception, the girls are courteous and polite. The sea, speaking of the beach service, is comfortable and spacious. Clean sea but a bar/restaurant is missing. What else to say: the children have fun, perhaps the only positive note having had a family vacation, because the "resort" is small and they move around freely and the entertainment, very mild, is focused on them. All in all... I would not go back. Yes, instead, but in another village”
fabriziodR456PS- Great for children very close to the beach
“I was at this campsite the second week of June with my 9 and 11-year-old children. They felt comfortable right away. There are no cars driving around the campsite so you see kids everywhere moving around in peace. There is a small soccer field for playing and making friends with ping pong and foosball tables attached. Friendly and nice entertainment, aperitif games on the beach and various evenings.”

THE DIRTY POOL“I have been coming here for a long time and this year I was very disappointed. Nothing to say about the campsite but the pool... help. Disgusting. ALWAYS dirty, except early in the morning and it is always full of pee and hair... so much hair. I understand that it is difficult to keep a pool decent but it was your idea and it is your conscience to ensure that people can take a swim without fear of being contaminated and getting an ear infection... as I know happened. For the rest, everything very nice apart from the dirt in the bathrooms.”
