Been here?
This is the car park for the Grotte de Pastena, where overnight stays are permitted after asking at the ticket office. It is spacious, mostly flat, quiet, and convenient for visiting the caves, with a café and bar on or opposite the parking area. A fountain runs continuously, but its tap cannot take a hose. Coffee and pastries are available from about 9, and a simple menu costs €20.

Quiet and clean. However, it is not very sloped. Across the road, fresh coffee and pastries are available from around 9 a.m. At the pub opposite, an Italian grandmother cooks a simple but delicious menu for 20 euros. Our children loved the homemade fries.
Alone on a flat, empty parking area and a quiet night. We made sure to have our aperitif at the bar located in the parking area. Friendly barman.
Convenient parking near the entrance to the caves, flat ground, with a water fountain. It is not possible to fill a tank with a hose because the tap does not allow it.
Good quiet location, spacious and safe places. Be aware that it is still far after leaving the motorway, along country roads. For water, there is only a fountain that runs continuously; it is impossible to attach a hose. There is a café-bar in the parking area, which may be useful.
Very good parking area! We spent a peaceful night.
Arrived around 11pm and nobody was here. Quiet and safe for night.
Wow!!! We arrived late; nobody was in the parking area and we were alone. A night accompanied by the sounds of nature.
We parked here to visit the caves (€9 per person). Also a good place to spend the night. A motorcyclist passed by once late in the evening for a joyride; otherwise it was completely deserted. Cozy coffee bar in the parking area for the morning, as well as a small kiosk selling ice cream, sweets, and so on. Friendly and tolerant people everywhere.
