La Caldera Bio

Switzerland-6945 Origlio

Nestled in the Lugano valleys, the campsite at the "La Caldera" organic farm offers a central yet tranquil location—ideal for visiting downtown Lugano as well as Monte Tamaro, and for embarking on numerous nature hikes. The campsite is situated right next to the family-run farm, where prized Wagyu cattle and free-range chickens graze happily. If you feel like having a barbecue, you can buy delicious meat and fresh eggs directly from us. Electricity and water are provided right at the camp, and the toilet with shower is just a stone's throw away in the barn. Please note that we only guarantee a response within 3 days. For bookings made less than 48 hours in advance, please give us a call.

Giulia is a lovely host. We called spontaneously and Giulia was able to offer us a spot even though everything was actually fully booked. We bought a Wagyu entrecote and grilled it right away. Unfortunately, we have to give a negative rating to the sanitary facilities / toilets. They were anything but clean. In our opinion, for the price of an overnight stay, better and, above all, much cleaner toilets should be provided.

Everything tip-top. Quiet and sunny spot, even in December. I'd happily come again.

Giulia is really very nice and explains everything, but also gives you privacy. Beautifully quiet in the countryside.

The contact and video description were super and perfect. The spot was idyllic next to chickens and cows. The sanitary facilities were very dirty and unpleasant to use. Dusty and traces from previous users, we found that very disappointing.

Just barely okay for a stopover. We are used to a different standard from Nomady pitches. It was rather loud (directly on the main road), and the toilet & shower were not clean. The second star is only because we were allowed to arrive after midnight.

Giulia is a wonderful person, she has lots of stories to tell in very good French 😃 we got along really well with her, and regarding the pitch, she did her best to make sure we were in the shade during a scorching hot day. You're on a farm, surrounded by cows, dogs, chickens, and flies—a total change of scenery! You can buy cheese and meat produced on the organic farm. The sanitary facilities are clean and shared with the staff during the day.

Giulia is a very nice woman. We needed to call her an hour before arrival. Then she called us back and asked us if we can come an half an hour later because there was a tractor on the field. We said that was okay but it was strange. When we came there, the tractor was still on the field and Giulia showed us where to sleep. It was on the same field and there was cow shit everywhere. We needed to put our tent between it. It was grose! Also the toilet and shower wheren’t cleaned up, she needed to do it. We booked the campsite for two nights, but we left after one. If we would know this before, we would not booked this. We would also not recommend this. All our stuff smells likes cow shit.
