Sabaudia, Italy
Camp Sabaudia
Just one hour south of Roma, Sabaudia is one of Gillian’s favourite rowing locations in the world (and she has enjoyed many!). On camp, we will stay together in the family-run ‘Hotel Gioiello’ where the atmosphere is warm and friendly. ‘Mama Nina’ is a familiar face around the hotel ensuring rowers are made to feel like part of her family. The hotel offers great food, with pasta regularly on the menu, and comfortable accommodation.
The hotel is an easy 15-minute walk to the lake, taking in the relaxed atmosphere of Sabaudia town. Walking to the lake, rowers will pass cafés, pizzerias and the local market (every Thursday) before reaching the stunning Lago di Paola (or Lake Sabaudia). Rowing on this lake is simply gorgeous and will be an unforgettable week whatever level of experience you arrive on camp with!
