hu Altomincio village
hu Altomincio village is a car-free holiday village on the banks of the Mincio river near Valeggio sul Mincio, in the Veneto in northern Italy, a short drive inland from the southern tip of Lake Garda. Families come for a water park built around soft, shallow pools for the youngest children, self-catering mobile homes and rooms spread through green, hilly grounds and a base about ten minutes from Gardaland.

Is it worth it?
The quick read before the detail: who Altomincio suits, what you get for the money and the facts to skim first.
hu Altomincio village, which traded until recently as Altomincio Family Park, is a pedestrianised holiday village on the banks of the Mincio river near Valeggio sul Mincio, in the Veneto in northern Italy. It's run by hu openair, the outdoor-hospitality brand of the Human Company group. It sits inland rather than on Lake Garda, about a 10-minute drive from the southern shore, and it's built around a water park whose main draw for a family with a baby or toddler is a set of soft, rubber-bottomed pools only 15 to 30 cm deep. You stay in a self-catering mobile home or a room at the on-site Hotel La Diga. You cook in the unit or eat at the village's restaurants and take-away, and get around a car-free site on foot or the included mini-train. It has over 2,000 Google reviews and they run strongly positive.
The things to weigh are mostly about the inland setting. There's no lake beach, and the nearest lake shore is about a 10-minute drive, with no off-site shuttle, so a car is likely to make trips to the lake, Gardaland and the towns much easier. The water park and all the food outlets run only in the village season, 18 April to 20 September 2026; outside that, only Hotel La Diga and its bar stay open. There's no spa. The MiniClub kids' programme is included, but there's no crèche or babysitting, so a baby or toddler is with you throughout. You'll get the most from it with young children who'll love the shallow pools and the space of a car-free village, and if you're happy to drive for the lake and the theme parks.
Best for
You want a safe, car-free base with very shallow, soft-bottomed pools for a baby or toddler, you're happy to self-cater, and you'll hire a car or don't mind day trips to reach the lake and Gardaland.
Maybe not for
You want a resort on the lake with its own beach, a spa or an evening to yourselves with childcare laid on, or you'd rather not drive at all.
Best ages
Babies and toddlers upward. The 15 cm and 30 cm soft-bottomed pools suit the youngest, and the height-based adventure activities, from 90 cm, give older children their own thing.
What stands out
The rubber-bottomed lagoons at just 15 to 30 cm deep, a fully pedestrianised village and a base about ten minutes from Gardaland.
What to check
The MiniClub age range for your child, and whether you'll want a hire car for the lake and days out.
Where is it?
In countryside on the Mincio river at Salionze, near Valeggio sul Mincio in the Veneto, northern Italy, about a 10-minute drive from the southern tip of Lake Garda.
Quick facts for families
The village and how it's laid out
Where it sits, how the pedestrianised site works and what that means for getting around with a pushchair.
Altomincio is a holiday village rather than a hotel or a lakeside resort. It sits in countryside on the banks of the Mincio river at Salionze, a hamlet of Valeggio sul Mincio, surrounded by low morainic hills and greenery in the southern tip of the Lake Garda region. It's set apart from the lake itself, which is what makes it quieter than the shore resorts but also means the lake, Gardaland and the towns are all a drive away. For the wider lake, its towns and its seasons, see our Lake Garda guide.
The whole site is fully pedestrianised, with no private vehicles allowed inside. You leave the car in one of the free designated car parks and show a car pass, with disabled parking spaces next to the accommodation and hu room guests using the adjacent hotel car park. A luggage service runs by golf cart, the resort's own electric cart, at check-in and check-out to move your bags from the car park to your unit, though there's no golf cart to summon around the village during your stay. For getting about day to day, a mini-train shuttles guests around the site and it's included in the price, which helps on a spread-out, car-free village.
The accommodation sits in named position zones. The River zone is central and near the river, while the Hill zone is quieter and more panoramic, with its own breakfast car. One thing to know with a pushchair is that the ground isn't completely flat: the resort's own site rules note natural unevenness in the terrain between the hilly and riverside areas, so expect some slopes as well as level paths. Reception is open 24 hours.
Where you'll stay
Every mobile home tier and every hotel room, what each sleeps and which suit a family with a baby.
There are two ways to stay. Most guests take a self-catering mobile home, the hu stay range, which runs in four tiers from the simple Easy up through Smart and Premium to the top-end Excellence. All of them share the same standing kit, and the differences are size, layout and small comforts like a dishwasher or a whirlpool tub. The other option is a room at the on-site Hotel La Diga, the hu room range, which suits families who'd rather not self-cater. The table below is the full mobile-home line-up with how many each sleeps; the hotel rooms follow.
What every mobile home includes
Whichever tier you pick, a hu stay mobile home comes with a fully equipped kitchen, a gas barbecue, air conditioning that also works as a heat pump, bed linen and towels (one set each), the final clean and your electricity and gas. An in-room safe is only in the Premium L, Excellence, Excellence XL and the hotel rooms.
| Mobile home | Tier | Sleeps | Bedrooms | Layout and what's notable |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| hu stay Easy XL River (accessible) | Easy | 4 | 2 | The accessible Easy unit: one double and a bunk bed, in a central position, adapted for guests with disabilities. |
| hu stay Easy XL Hill | Easy | 6 | 3 | One double and two twin rooms in the quieter, panoramic Hill zone, with a separate toilet and shower. |
| hu stay Easy XL River | Easy | 6 | 3 | One double and two twin rooms, with a veranda that has a lockable gate. |
| hu stay Smart | Smart | 5 | 2 | One double, two single beds and a fold-out sofa bed, a kitchen opening onto the terrace and two toilets with one shower. The most popular tier. |
| hu stay Smart (accessible) | Smart | 5 | 2 | The same layout as the Smart, with a disabled bathroom and ramp access. |
| hu stay Smart L Plus | Smart | 5 | 2 | One double, a single and a bunk bed, a spacious kitchen-living room and two bathrooms, one with a bidet. |
| hu stay Smart For All | Smart | 5 | 2 | An accessible unit with a ramp up to the terrace, a large veranda and two ensuite bathrooms. |
| hu stay Premium Plus Hill | Premium | 5 | 2 | A dishwasher, a capsule coffee machine, two shower bathrooms and a large terrace, up in the Hill zone. |
| hu stay Premium Plus River | Premium | 5 | 2 | A dishwasher, a capsule coffee machine and a wide veranda, in the riverside zone. |
| hu stay Premium L | Premium | 5 | 2 | Set up with families in mind, with a dishwasher, an in-room safe and two shower bathrooms, one with a bidet. |
| hu stay Premium XL | Premium | 6 | 3 | One double and two twin rooms, two shower bathrooms and a spacious veranda. |
| hu stay Excellence Green | Excellence | 5 | 2 | The top tier: a wide veranda with a whirlpool tub, a dishwasher, a capsule coffee machine and two shower bathrooms, one with a bidet. |
| hu stay Excellence | Excellence | 5 | 2 | A large furnished veranda, a dishwasher, a capsule coffee machine and two shower bathrooms. |
| hu stay Excellence XL | Excellence | 6 | 3 | Set up for families across three bedrooms, with a dishwasher, a capsule coffee machine and two shower bathrooms. |
For a family with a baby or toddler, the useful thing to look at is whether you get a bedroom door to close on a nap. The Easy XL Hill and Easy XL River both give three bedrooms and sleep six, so there's room to settle young children away from the living space. The Smart is the most popular tier and the middle-ground choice, sleeping five across two bedrooms with the sofa bed making up the fifth space. In the Premium tier, the Premium L is described as set up with families in mind and adds an in-room safe and a second bathroom, while Excellence Green is the top unit, with a whirlpool tub on the veranda. Several units have a veranda with a lockable gate, first meant for pet owners but just as handy for keeping a crawling baby contained outside.
Pets are welcome in every mobile home, up to two, with a mandatory Love Pet Pack supplement (the cost is in the extras table further down). If you need an adapted unit, only the variants tagged as accessible are adapted: the Easy XL River accessible unit and the Smart accessible and Smart For All units, with disabled bathrooms and ramp access. The plain versions of those names are standard units with no accessibility features.
The on-site hotelHotel La Diga
Hotel La Diga is the on-site hotel, and it works differently from the mobile homes in a few ways worth knowing. It opens for a longer season than the village, roughly the start of April into mid-October, though the exact closing date varies, so confirm yours when you book. No pets are allowed, and there's no lift, which matters for a pushchair and heavy luggage if your room is on an upper floor. The one hotel room with a confirmed size is the smallest, the hu room Smart at 14 m². The communicating-room options effectively give you two rooms with a connecting door, useful if you want to settle a baby in one and sit up in the other.
| Room | Sleeps | Layout and what's notable |
|---|---|---|
| hu room Smart | 2 | A 14 m² room with a double or twin beds, air conditioning and a private bathroom. |
| hu room Smart (trio) | 3 | Two communicating rooms with air conditioning and two shower bathrooms. |
| hu room Smart L | 4 | Two communicating rooms with air conditioning and two shower bathrooms. |
| hu room Smart L Quadrupla | 4 | Two communicating rooms with air conditioning and one shower bathroom. |
Pools and water play
The water park pool by pool, why it stands out for the youngest children and the small print families ask about.
The water park is the reason most families choose Altomincio, and it's what parents of very young children single out. It's included for guests and open through the village season. The stand-out feature is the shallow water: the lagoon is a rubber-bottomed pool just 30 cm deep throughout, so you can sit in the water while a toddler plays, and the baby lagoon is shallower still at 15 cm, meant for the youngest children just starting in water. One parent who stayed described a huge soft-bottomed pool area about knee deep at its deepest.
Around them are the bigger water features. The Olympic-size pool is the one for lengths and for anyone who wants deeper water, with a sunbathing area around it. The spray park has a non-slip bottom with water jets and side jets to run through, and the Ninja Kids Pool is a play area given over entirely to inflatables to climb, slide and splash on. The water play here is inflatables and jets rather than the big flumes an older child might be hoping for, so it's worth setting that expectation. There's also a grassy dog beach beside the water park with an open dog bar, for pet owners, which despite the name isn't a lake beach.
The water park is open through the village season rather than to fixed daily times, so check the hours when you arrive. There's no adults-only pool. Non-residents can buy a day pass to use the pools, cheaper on weekdays than weekends, so if you're visiting friends staying here, pre-book online (day-pass prices are in the extras section).
Eating and drinking
How self-catering works here, then every restaurant, pizzeria, bar and shop on site.
This is a self-catering village, so there's no board basis and food and drink are paid separately. The on-site market is what makes cooking in the unit easy: it stocks Italian and international food, fresh baked goods, fruit and vegetables, household and hygiene bits and a pet corner for pet food. When you don't want to cook, there's a spread of places to eat.
Ristorante Osteria del Mincio is the sit-down restaurant, open for dinner with open-air seating and a menu of local dishes and international specialities. To be sure of a table, it's worth asking at reception when you arrive. The two pizzerias are Pizzeria Bella Italia, open for dinner with pizzas made from seasonal, local ingredients and outdoor seating, and Pizzeria I Massimi down by the river, which does dinner only in the low season and lunch and dinner in high season, with pizza and crispy fried food.
For something quicker there's a Fast Food from lunch through dinner (burgers, sandwiches, hot dogs, fried snacks and pizza slices) and, in high season only and up in the Hill area, two spots called L'angolo del gusto: one doing wood-fired pizza and smash burgers, the other Italian wraps, the stuffed flatbreads known as piadinas. A breakfast car near the Hill accommodation serves croissants, fresh bread, milk, yoghurt and breakfast bits. The Take Away covers lunch and dinner with lasagne, roast chicken, pizzas, burgers, fried starters and fresh salads, and in high season you can skip the queue by ordering through the "my hu" app.
Three bars are dotted around. Bar Laguna is the poolside bar, open morning to evening for breakfast, coffee, snacks, cocktails, wine and beer, and Bar Terrazza overlooks the pools with cocktails, soft drinks, beer and wine. Bar Diga is by reception for coffee and soft drinks, and it's the one place that stays open in the extended hotel-only season when everything else is shut. For a sweet stop there's Gelateria Lover for home-made ice cream, yoghurt, semifreddo cakes and milkshakes. A Candy Shop opens from the afternoon into the evening. The general shop sells souvenirs, gadgets and plush toys of Froggy, the resort mascot.
Babies and toddlers
The baby kit, the very shallow pools and the childcare gap, then everything there is to do on site.
For the youngest children, the two shallow lagoons are the main appeal. They're soft-bottomed and no more than knee deep, so a baby or toddler can sit and splash safely. For kit, the resort hires a baby set for €6 a day, which is a cot, a high chair and a baby bath together. It only comes as the full set, so you can't take just the cot or just the high chair, and it's worth reserving when you book rather than relying on availability at reception. A buggy is also available to hire from reception. Several mobile homes have a veranda with a lockable gate, which helps keep a crawler contained outside.
The one thing to be clear-eyed about is childcare. The MiniClub is an entertainment programme rather than supervised childcare, and its age range isn't confirmed, so if you're relying on it for a young child, email the resort to check before you book. There's no crèche or nursery, and no babysitting or in-room childcare, so a baby or toddler is with you throughout the stay. If a break in the day or an evening to yourselves is what you need, that's the clear gap here.
On siteThings to do on site
Beyond the pools there's plenty to fill a day, and it splits into what's included and what you pay for. Included in the price is the MiniClub, an outdoor kids' programme of daily games, activities and parties run by the entertainment team, alongside a wider entertainment programme of sports and group tournaments, evening shows, live music and workshops, plus jogging along the Mincio and fitness sessions for the adults. Also included are table tennis, sports fields, an outdoor gym, playgrounds dotted through the green areas and a game room with basketball hoops, pinball and table football. There's also a nature hub, an educational space running nature workshops for children and families.
The adventure activities are paid and booked at the infopoint. The tree experience is a high-ropes course through the trees with a minimum height of 140 cm, and the aerial nets, sprung nets and giant balloons with no harness needed, ask for closed shoes, a T-shirt and shorts. Smaller children have the Kaa Trail, a low-level tree course with a minimum height of 90 cm. Also paid, from the infopoint, are mini golf (with clubs for adults and children), pedal-kart and go-kart hire, bike hire and even car, motorbike and van hire for exploring the wider area. These are all paid, and you can check the prices on the day.
The infopoint also books days out beyond the village: boat rental from Peschiera, a Lake Garda cruise from €55, an East Coast boat tour from €45, a Sirmione tour from €68, wine tasting from €15 and a pizza masterclass. There's no spa, sauna or steam room anywhere on site.
The area and days out
A theme-park cluster, a Roman city, the lake shore and a garden park, all within easy reach of the village.
Gardaland, Italy's biggest theme park, is the headline day out, about a 10-minute drive (roughly 5 miles or 8 km) at Castelnuovo del Garda, and the resort sells tickets at reception. The same complex holds Gardaland Park, the LEGOLAND Water Park and a SEA LIFE aquarium. Prices are dynamic, so book online ahead: a dated one-day ticket is from €39 online against from €59 at the gate (last checked June 2026), children under 90 cm tall go free, and a two-day park plus SEA LIFE combo is from €54. Gardaland also runs an "after 5pm" evening offer in peak summer, from around €26 on weekdays and €29 at weekends. Caneva waterpark and Movieland film park are about 20 minutes away in the same area.
The lake shore itself is about a 10-minute drive, since the village has no beach of its own. Peschiera del Garda is the nearest lakeside town, with lake access, restaurants and the train station, and the resort's own boat tours set off from there. The nearest public lake beaches, at Peschiera, Lazise and Bardolino, are a similar short drive; the southern lake shelves gently, so the water is shallow for toddlers, and the beaches are sandy and gravelly in places. None of these three holds a Blue Flag award; the Blue Flag beaches on Lake Garda are all on the western shore, at Sirmione, Gardone Riviera, Toscolano Maderno and Limone sul Garda. The lake sits around 20°C from June to August, occasionally reaching the mid-twenties in the hottest summers.
For cities, Verona is about 17 miles (28 km), around 35 minutes by car or a train ride from Peschiera, with the Roman Arena, the medieval old town and Juliet's house. Mantua, a Renaissance UNESCO city with the Palazzo Ducale, is about 21 miles (33 km) and makes a good day trip. Closer to home, the medieval watermill village of Borghetto sul Mincio sits just up the road at Valeggio sul Mincio.
For a slower-paced family day there's Parco Sigurtà, one of Europe's best-known garden parks, covering around 60 hectares on the banks of the Mincio about 5 minutes' drive away. In 2026 it's open from 7 March to 15 November; entry is €18 for adults, €10 for youth aged 5 to 14 and free for under-5s (last checked June 2026). It's a big park to walk, so within it you can hire a golf cart at €20 an hour for up to four people, hire an e-bike at €6.50 an hour or ride the panoramic train at €5 a person, free for children under a metre tall (last checked June 2026). The minimum age to ride an e-bike yourself is 14, though some are fitted with child seats for a child from 18 months up to 22 kg, so it still works as family transport for a toddler who can't manage the walking circuit.
Getting there and around
The nearest airport is Verona (VRN), about 13 miles (21 km) away, with Brescia (BGY) a second option about 27 miles (44 km) off. From Verona airport, bus 482 runs direct to the "Salionze - Via Massagrande" stop with no change, and from there it's a 15-minute walk to the village entrance. The same bus 482 runs from Peschiera del Garda station to the Salionze stop. Coming from Milan Malpensa, the route is a train to Milano Centrale, a Trenitalia train on to Peschiera, then bus 482.
A taxi transfer is available if you arrange it with the resort ahead of arrival, and the how-to is in the questions below. On a hire car, you don't strictly need one once you're here, since the airport and station are covered by the bus and taxi. The setting is what tips the balance. The lake, Gardaland and the towns are all a short drive with no off-site shuttle, so a car is likely to make days out much easier. Without one, the bus plus the 15-minute walk with a pushchair is doable but not easy. The nearest towns and cities are Peschiera del Garda at about 4 miles (7 km), Verona at 17 miles (28 km) and Mantua at 21 miles (33 km).
When to go and weather
The best months with young children, the on-site practicalities and entry rules, and what's in the price.
The village and its water park run from 18 April to 20 September 2026, so June, July and August are the main summer months. July is the hottest and sunniest, often around 30°C, which can be a lot for a toddler in the middle of the day. May, early June and September are warm and less busy, before or after the peak-summer heat. Afternoon thunderstorms are common in high summer, sharp but usually short, so it's worth planning the pools and outdoor activities for the mornings. Across the year the wider area gets around 2,000 hours of sunshine.
| Month | Daytime high | Overnight low | Rain | Wet days |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| April | 19° | 7.5° | 67 mm | 8 |
| May | 24° | 13° | 70 mm | 8 |
| June | 28.5° | 17° | 62 mm | 7 |

| September | 25.5° | 14.5° | 75 mm | 6 |
Typical monthly averages from weather-station records.
Good to know
A few practical things to have in mind. There's a medical office on site, open at set hours, charged at rates displayed there, and infectious illnesses have to be reported to the doctor or management. A night guardian is on call overnight. On arrival everyone, children included, is given an identification bracelet to wear for the stay, and a tourist tax of up to €2.70 per person a night is paid locally, with under-14s exempt. Payment is by most cards (Visa, Mastercard, Maestro, CartaSì, UnionPay), with PayPal and Scalapay for non-refundable rates and bank transfer also accepted. The booking line is +39 055 029 8080, which is a Florence number because that's where the Human Company group is based, so it's the right one to call. Staff speak Italian, English and German, and hu openair runs a Huniverse membership card whose benefits aren't detailed for this site.
For UK families, Italy is a routine Schengen destination with no FCDO advisory against travel. Your passport needs to have been issued less than ten years before you arrive and be valid for at least three months after you leave the Schengen area, and children need their own passports. The EU Entry/Exit System of digital border checks is being phased in, so check gov.uk for the current position before you travel. UK citizens can visit for up to 90 days in any 180 without a visa, and a GHIC covers medically necessary state treatment, though travel insurance is still worth having.
In the price, and the extrasWhat's included and what costs extra
A direct booking includes the final clean, bed linen and towels, entry to the water park, playgrounds and common areas, the mini-train, Wi-Fi in the common areas, the entertainment programme, the gas barbecue, air conditioning and your electricity and gas. Set against that, the everyday extras are modest and mostly optional. The main ones are below.
| Extra | Cost (2026 rates) |
|---|---|
| Baby set (cot, high chair and baby bath, as a full set only) | €6 a day |
| Extra towel set | €5 |
| Extra single bed linen set | €5 |

| Laundry | Charged, ask on the day |
| Love Pet Pack (one pet, high season, 4 to 7 nights) | €80 |
| Non-resident pool day pass (pre-book online), per adult / child (2 to 11) | €15 / €10 weekdays, €18 / €13 weekends |
| Tourist tax | Up to €2.70 per person a night, under-14s exempt |
| Buggy hire, adventure park, aerial nets, Kaa Trail, mini golf, karts and bikes | Paid, ask on the day |
Loves and gripes
What families rate and what they flag, how it compares with the other Lake Garda parks and how to book.
What families love
- The very shallow, soft-bottomed pools, suited to babies and toddlers just starting in water.
- The fully pedestrianised village, which feels safe with young children.
- Activities that span the ages, from the baby lagoons to the height-based adventure courses for older children.
- The ten-minute run to Gardaland for a theme-park day.
- The range of food, from a sit-down restaurant to take-away and the market for cooking in.
Common gripes
- A car is likely to help, and the inland setting is awkward without one.
- No lake beach on site, so a lakeside holiday means a drive.
- No spa.
- The MiniClub age range isn't confirmed, so you can't pre-plan for a very young child.
- No lift in Hotel La Diga, which matters for a pushchair on an upper floor.
One practical booking note that comes up from families: booking through Eurocamp may get you a lower-spec unit than booking direct with the resort. It's a tip about which units you're allocated rather than a mark against the accommodation itself, so it's worth comparing the exact specification whichever way you book.
Against the other Lake Garda parksHow it compares
The nearest like-for-like is Camping Bella Italia at Peschiera, which is right on the lake with a beach and a big water park of slides, and walkable to the town and station so you can manage without a car. It's a much larger, busier site, which some families find overwhelming with a very young toddler, and Altomincio's soft-bottomed baby pool is the thing parents point to as better for the very youngest children. Del Garda Village, also at Peschiera, is another car-free option, around a 15-minute walk from the town and station, with four pools and waterslides.
For lake access in a smaller package, Sisan Family Resort at Cisano is hotel-style and shares the neighbouring campsite's private sandy lake beach, easier to manage but with less to do on site than Altomincio. At the top of the market, Quellenhof at Lazise is a five-star option near the lake at a much higher price, a different segment entirely. Altomincio has no lake beach, but it's quieter and car-free, and its soft, very shallow pools are what parents of the youngest children rate most here.
Deposits, changes and day passesBooking
You can book direct at altomincio.huopenair.com or on +39 055 029 8080, and it's also sold through Eurocamp, Homair, Pitchup and other operators. Direct bookings take a 30% deposit at the time, with the 70% balance due 30 days before you arrive; if you book within 30 days of arrival, it's paid in full. Cancellation charges rise as you get closer: 30% of the total more than 30 days out, 50% at 29 to 15 days, 75% at 14 to 7 days, 90% at 6 to 3 days and 100% inside 2 days, and the "Relax rate" fare includes cancellation insurance if you'd rather cover that.
Date changes are allowed at no extra cost, subject to availability, once the deposit is paid but only before you've paid the full balance, and cancellations are made in writing by email. Special requests, such as a preferred position or staying near friends, can be noted at booking but aren't guaranteed. Non-residents wanting a day pass for the pools pre-book online and collect a wristband at reception, and groups of 20 or more book through a separate group email.
Questions
The things families ask most, the official pages worth a bookmark and when this guide was last refreshed.
Is there a cot and high chair, and do we need to book them?
Yes, but they come as one baby set, a cot, a high chair and a baby bath together, for €6 a day, and you can't hire just one of the three. Reserve it when you book rather than relying on availability at reception, and it saves you packing a travel cot.
Can we bring the dog?
Yes, pets are allowed in every mobile home, up to two, though not in Hotel La Diga. There's a mandatory Love Pet Pack supplement to budget for, and pet owners get a market pet corner and a grassy "dog beach" by the water park.
What age is the MiniClub for?
The age range isn't confirmed, so if a particular child is the reason you're booking, email the resort first to check they'll take that age. It's a games-and-activities programme rather than supervised childcare, so a baby or toddler stays with you for the session.
Do we need a car?
Not for getting there, since bus 482 links Verona airport and Peschiera station to the Salionze stop. It's the days out where a car helps, because there's no shuttle to the lake or the theme parks, so reaching them by taxi or bus takes more planning. Families do manage without one by sticking mostly to the on-site pools and the odd taxi.
How do we arrange an airport taxi?
A taxi transfer is available but it isn't automatic, so email the resort at least 48 hours before you arrive to set it up. If you'd rather not, bus 482 goes direct from the airport to the Salionze stop, a 15-minute walk from the village.
Can we still stay outside the summer season?
Hotel La Diga stays open past the village season into mid-October, though the exact closing date varies, so confirm yours when you book. The water park, restaurants and MiniClub run only from 18 April to 20 September; outside that window only the hotel's Bar Diga is open.
