The history begins in 1958. Like the majority of Elba's families of those times,
the Signorini family was working in the field of agriculture and mining.
The first tourists were arriving at Elba - especially Germans - with just
their tents; they arrived at Elba asking to set their tent, and to those
times, all they could do was to set their tents in the vineyards.

In those
years, there has been a gradual progress until 1970, year in which the
brothers Signorini, Ottavio, Giampiero, and Fulvio, acquired a new piece
of land contiguous to the previous one, hence the Camping increased its
dimensions.

Through
the years, the Signorini family increased in number, in fact the three
brothers gave to the grandfathers six grandsons, five of which (one is
still too young...) entered in the management-staff of the Camping, from
the end of the 80's. These young generation brought new ideas with them,
realising modern structures, in accordance with nowadays requirements,
hence widening the reception premises, creating new car-parking, and improving
the inner roads-network.

As the
demand increased, grandfathers and sons of the Signorini family came to
the idea to realise the first hygienic services, and also to set a price
for the rent of a tent-emplacement, which until then was simply repaid
with some present. This was the birth of the Camping Le Calanchiole. It
was 1961.

In May
1971, the construction of the present Residence Villa Angelica was completed,
and the Signorini began not only to offer hospitality to campers, but
also to holiday-makers who wished to stay in a Residence. During these
years, as well as in the following years, inner infrastructures like the
mini-market, the bar, and the restaurant were built, as well as hygienic
services increased in number and quality, hence also all emplacement improved
their functionality.
In
1997 the Signorini bought another camping, close to their previous one:
the Camping Lido. Therefore, nowadays the Signorini family is able to
accommodate her Guests in her two Camping or in the Residence Villa
Angelica. You can be our Guest at Le Calanchiole in a peaceful place
dipped in the green Mediterranean vegetation, directly on the sea, with
every comfort, making Your vacation extremely pleasant, relaxing and
calm.
