Bagno Il Cavallone - CAMAIORE

Ottimo cibo dove la materia prima è arrichita con una simple ma efficacious cuisine

Included in the room rate at Locanda al Colle is a cabana with two sunbeds, two deckchairs, a directors chair and a small table. The beds don 't look very comfortable but in fact are, and the cabana provides much needed shelter from the sun, although you have to move the beds and chairs to get in to and out of the shade! The sand is beautifully groomed and very clean, the 'stations ' are widely spaced and orderly, and the sea is shallow and warm. The toilets are well maintained and there are cubicles for changing and a bar and restaurant it 's all very nicely done. There is free parking but we came by taxi and it cost 25 euros each way every journey in the area seems to cost 25 euros!! We had lunch on the beach; service was very good and the food was fine but not great, but also not at all expensive. Nearing the end of the season I understand why the wine stock is depleted, but only the most expensive bottle of Vermentino remained and it wasn 't particularly good many of the wines on the menu were crossed out.

Having spent a relaxing day at Il Cavallone beach club last year with a very pleasant and leisurely lunch in their restaurant with our family, we decided to make a reservation for the night before our wedding. Il Cavallone serves dinner on the beach on Friday and Saturday nights it looks absolutely charming in the photographs, and came highly recommended. Unfortunately, out of nowhere, a storm descended with torrential rain, meaning the whole event was moved indoors. Obviously this was disappointing, but the restaurant was busy and there was a great atmosphere. The food was delicious spaghetti alle vongole (in fact, three different types of past! , fritto misto, affogato. The issue was that I don't think the restaurant is used to catering for big parties there were 25 of us and the staff struggled to serve us. When we arrived, about half of us managed to order a drink and then the barman disappeared. Why??? It took over 30 minutes for us all to be served one drink. Food came out in dribs and drabs. I had to chase the staff to bring our dessert because the taxis were due to arrive to take us back to the hotel. So, in summary, I will definitely come back to the beach club, and I will eat here again, but not when there are so many of us. I suggest groups no bigger than 6 and you should look forward to a great evening!

We had private dining on the beach whilst on honeymoon. It was just fantastic. It is an incredible setting and the food is also excellent. This is perfect for a getting away from it all dinner, private and romantic. I would highly recommend to anyone, worth the money.

Great!
