Camping Casa dei Prati

The campsite is located on Elba Island, a small island nearby Tuscany, in a quiet and peaceful area and is run by the owners themselves, so is perfect for those who are searching for a place where they can feel at home.

The Camping overlooks the beautiful Gulf of Lacona and its famous sandy beach.
Being in the centre of the island, Lacona is not far from the main towns like Capoliveri, Porto Azzurro and Marina di Campo as well as the most popular beaches.
The island of Elba offers a marvellous variety of scenery, from small hidden coves to long sandy beaches; each corner of Elba holds its own special surprise for visitors. The island is washed by crystal clear water in every shade of blue, a paradise for divers and snorkellers. It's wooded hills make it ideal for hikers, it's panoramic roads so popular with mountain bikers.

The campsite is run by me, my brother and my mum. Me and my brother were born on the island. My mum is from Thailand. We speak Italian, English, Thai, Spanish and German a little bit. Next to the campsite we have a small farm, we produce extra virgin olive oil, some fruits and vegetables, grapes. We're on a heartwarming journey to make our campsite even more enchanting, and we're searching for kindred spirits who share our passion for nature, creativity, and community. This season, we're eager to infuse our space with the gentle energy of yoga and the vibrant strokes of art, creating a sanctuary where every soul feels at home. But our canvas is broad, and there's plenty of room for more colors! Aside from yoga and art, we're looking for helping hands in maintaining our lush gardens and cozy accommodations, painting and decorating our facilities to mirror the beauty of our surroundings, tackling a variety of repairs or construction projects, and keeping our garden and communal areas pristine. In addition to the tasks we've outlined, we're also looking for photographers and videographers to contribute images and videos for our website and social media. If you love capturing moments, your skills can greatly enhance our mission. Volunteering with us is all about equality, friendship, and sharing. It's a chance to live, learn, and laugh as part of a community that values each person's contribution and unique sparkle. Here's what we promise: a volunteering schedule that respects your time and spirit, asking for no more than five hours a day of your magic, with one day off each week to explore, relax, or create. You'll rest your head in a caravan, shared bathrooms. While volunteers are responsible for their own food expenses, we've got your mornings covered with coffee, tea, biscuits, milk, yogurt, cereals, toast bread, jam, and butter.. So, if you're yearning to connect with nature, unleash your artistic flair, and be part of a community that cherishes friendship and sharing, we can't wait to hear from you. Share your story with us, tell us about your passions, and let's explore how you can leave your mark on our little paradise. We're sending you a big, warm hug and can't wait to welcome you into our community. Together, let's make this season unforgettable! 💖✨

I definitely recommend this experience to anyone . The work is enjoyable to do , the working hours are always respected . You have a lot of free time to enjoy the surrounding nature. The hosts are truly very welcoming , interesting people. I felt very safe and comfortable during my stay also . I had never met such generous, kind people before. I will never forget this experience and I would have stayed longer if I could have.☀️ :)

Mi experiencia en Casa dei Prati fue genial e ideal para mi primer voluntariado. Es un camping con buena vibra, siempre hay personas nuevas. Las actividades no son tan pesadas y se respetan las horas acordadas y queda mucho tiempo libre para explorar la isla y sus playas. Conocí personas geniales y me sumergí en la cultura Italiana, súper recomendado.
Gracias a Betty y a su mamá por la hospitalidad 🫶🏻

Elba is a wonderful island, thanks to this experience I knew beaches, people and food nearby!
Regarding volunteering, I think that the schedules and meals should be readjusted a bit in exchange, but everything was as we had agreed.Betty I think it would have to be a little more egalitarian among all the volunteers, in the sense that sometimes she made plans without some volunteers, or that she could make an effort to create a good group atmosphere among all.
Francesco, Pam, thank you very much, also to Betty, they are only things to improve :) (in my opinion). Campsite with good facilitie

"La vera vita è questa" solo con queste parole di Betty riusciamo a raccontare cos'ha significato questa esperienza per noi. Abbiamo conosciuto persone stupende, visitato posti bellissimi, mangiato troppa cucina thai e il nostro piccolo caravan.
Stare al campeggio è stato più che entrare a far parte di una grande famiglia, è stato come entrare in un'altra dimensione; siamo rimaste solo un mese (prolungando), ma è stato come vivere qui sia un anno che pochi giorni.
Non potevamo desiderare di meglio.
Grazie di cuore a tutta la famiglia di Casa dei Prati per tutto ciò che ci hanno regalato.❤
