Hi

Has anyone been to Pra delle Torri on the Venetian Riviera. We are thinking of going next summer with 2 boys 11 and 13?

Thanks Caroline

We were looking at fly drive, as we didn't fancy the drive either.  Unfortunately you can't book with Ryan air yet as they don't release the flights until much later.  Don't really want to book until I know what the flights are going to cost. Ryan air do cheap car hire if you don't want anything too flashy.  We'll probably end up doing France again for about the 9th year although got fed up this year with the ferry fiasco at Plymouth ended up doing a 4 hour drive to campsite instead of 10 mins!

Did a search on Expedia and they are showing flights up to 5th August at moment as below.  Doesn't seem bad £444 for 2 adults and 2 kids ?   To hire a car costs £526 for 14 days on Holidayautos.co.uk (2 weeks in something like an Astra estate.

£111.20 avg/person (£444.80 total) 09:45 Depart Manchester (MAN) Arrive Venice (VCE) 16:05 Sun 24-Jul Duration: 5hr 20min Alitalia 263  / 1455 Connect in Milan (MXP) 17:30 Depart Venice (VCE) Arrive Manchester (MAN) 21:55 Sat 6-Aug Duration: 5hr 25min Alitalia 1456  / 262 Connect in Milan (MXP)

Thanks for the info

Ryan air car hire prices quoted me £226 for 2 weeks which I thought was really cheap, their flights for february (couldn't go any further on) were £130 for 4 a bargain! We were quite tempted to fly and have a few days away

Debcon,

According to ViaMichelin,  it is 828 miles from Calais to Lido di Jesolo and takes 13 hours not including breaks.   Would be interested, please, to know how you covered the distance (overnight stops, route etc).

Driving would save a lot of money on flights and car hire but it seems such a long way to drive.   The other benefits would be we could go for 3 weeks and take our normal fully laden car.

Hi Dave

I'm still searching for anyone who has been to Pra delle torri I can't even find any on the net, should we be worried? I'm also looking a Bella Italia on Lake Garda a few people have been there and it has had good reviews.  We don't fancy the drive we only have the 2 weeks and I don't want to spend half of that in the car not with 2 boys!

I work with someone who has visited these sites and recommended them-

Hi,

We went to Pra Delle Torri.

It was 3 or 4 years ago, but we have always meant to go back.

The site still sends us a Christmas card (with latest rates).

It is a huge site near Caorle, (but it didn't feel big) the site has an hotel, bungalows, and various pitch sizes.

The site is planned around a central shopping area with fountains,  restaurants and bars.

It had an integral golf course at the entrance to the site.

Entertainment was laid on each night

Its is right on the beach and you can walk along the beach to the nearby town.

We travelled down from Calais through Germany and Austria. The Italian motorways certainly save fuel when you see the spectacular scenery you travel past. Worth the tolls.

Hope this helps

George,

Thanks for that info.  Don't know why I didn't do this before but have searched for their website and here it is:-

Must say it looks very good.  Seriously thinking about this now - just don't fancy the drive so may consider flight and hire car.   This site is also in the Canvas brochure.

Dave,

We stayed on a couple of "Aires" with the caravan on the way down. Took our time to get there.

We took three weeks holiday used a week going and coming back, made it part of the holiday. Then spent two weeks at the site.

I remember they do various coach trips from the site. We did the Venice one.

I suppose with cheap flights its hardly worth the travel now!
