The Bad Guy

It’s January of 2023 and we’re absolutely loving the Amazon series The Bad Guy. Set in modern Palermo, Italy, it is an hilarious, unpredictable, subtle, violent and binge-worthy story of Mafia families, how they interact and the predictable / unpredictable outcomes that you would imagine. But, unlike most Mafia sagas, it is packed with non-stop creative twists, subtle (and laugh out loud) humour and understated easter eggs that go on and on. One of the best things we’ve seen on the telly in a long, long time.

The reason why it’s here on a travel site, is that most of the action is centered in a children’s amusement park, Wowter World. (The park is owned my Mafiosos. Imagine the irony of that.) And, the visuals of the amusement park are surreal. We wondered if the place itself was real, or the creation of some very caffeinated artists. With a little bit of digging, we discovered that it’s real indeed: Cesenatico Camping Village.

This is the real thing. All of the psycho decorations of the rides in the show are removed. ☺

Featuring an outdoor pool, sauna and hot tubs, Cesenatico Camping Village offers accommodations with free Wi-Fi access. Guests can enjoy the tennis court, kid’s club and join the evening entertainment. With air-conditioning, the units come with a private bathroom and a seating area with a TV and sofa. The kitchenette is equipped with a refrigerator and guests can dine outdoors on the furnished patio. Click here to book.

And, of course, it’s in Italy, (only 30 minutes from Rimini) so your adventures are endless. A trip your kids (and you) will never forget. You won’t soon forget the series, either.
