Our Story

August 1st, 1986: the dream becomes reality!

Massimo Pampaloni, an entrepreneur from Florence, and his wife Elena Casentini, while visiting the areas between the beach of Torre Mozza and Carbonifera, had an insight: they wondered why such a beautiful natural area, with stunning beaches and crystal-clear waters, could not also be enhanced from a tourism perspective.

The construction of a forward-looking idea

From there, the spark that ignited everything was born: where there had once been only wide stretches of fields, the idea took shape of creating a “home by the sea” for all those who lived far away.

The idea of Pampaloni and his wife was visionary and laid the foundations of the philosophy on which the property continues to evolve today: a Camping Village featuring pitches and bungalows, with a lush green area separating the commercial area and reception from the camping area.

A small paradise for holidaymakers that Mrs. Elena decided to name Pappasole, inspired by the hills located in the inland area near the campsite.

The turning point years

The early 1990s marked a period of major managerial changes: from 1990 to 1995, Pappasole became the property of Consorzio Etruria, which also directly managed the site.

The forward-thinking design that characterized the property at the time, compared to other campsites, attracted the interest of Rivaverde SpA, established by a group of people looking for an ideal place to enjoy seaside holidays. Thus, 1995 marked the transition of Pappasole to new ownership.

Two key figures who, for over 25 years, supported the growth and development of the property in this direction were Costantino Goretti, as President, and Paolo Baldassini, Director of Pappasole.

Expansion and innovation

Over the years, the various boards of directors that followed promoted significant infrastructural development, increasingly enriching and diversifying the offer for guests. Just to mention a few examples: as early as 1996, private bathroom facilities were introduced on the pitches, a true innovation at the time compared to competitors and still highly appreciated by campers today. Also worth mentioning are the expansion of the pool area, the construction of sports fields and the introduction of more modern and comfortable masonry bungalows.

In this major process of structural growth, an important role was also played by Fabrizio Mattii, for many years managing director and a key reference point for Baldassini.

Pappasole today

With this important legacy behind it and with its gaze set firmly on the future, the current board of directors, chaired by Fabio Pini (who has already been a member of the board for over 20 years), works with the goal of making Pappasole a place increasingly aligned with the needs of its guests and in step with the times. This means offering entertainment designed for every age group, facilities conceived with an ever-greener approach, concrete attention to environmental sustainability and a camping village that is more accessible to everyone.
