About this community

Campo Felice is in Fort Myers, Florida, in the city’s Historic River District beside the Caloosahatchee River. Property and community descriptions identify a 24-story tower and characterize Campo Felice as an independent-living, 55-and-over rental community. The documented apartment mix includes studios and one- and two-bedroom layouts. The downtown setting is near restaurants, shops, galleries and performance venues; descriptions say residents can reach some destinations on foot or by a short trolley ride.

Apartment descriptions list open-concept plans, floor-to-ceiling windows and natural light. Features noted include granite countertops, stainless-steel appliances, washer-and-dryer sets and porcelain tile with a wood-grain appearance. Room listings also mention private bathrooms, air conditioning, cable television, telephone service and Wi-Fi, with furnished options. Dogs and cats are listed as permitted pets. The supplied descriptions do not agree on kitchen configurations, so that detail is not included here.

It is a wonderful place to live and to come here. They have valet parking here, maid service once a week, cleans the apartment and provides clean sheets, beautiful pool, activities for the residents each day, fitness room and exercise. The view is spectacular if you're on the river side. I imagine the view is wonderful on the other side as well. The food is great! The staff are wonderful and you couldn't ask for nicer staff.

Campo Felic is a very nice facility, and the staff members are always trying to fix the problems with the facility itself, like lately we have had trouble with the plumbing. The food here has been very good, and I have a beautiful scenery outside my room. I can look out and see the river and we have a very nice swimming pool. The physical fitness instructor and activities director are just superb. My entire body is improving and my overall health is getting much better. We do about 30 minute exercises, so the consistency and excellence of the programs really has been working. There are so…

Campo Felic is a very nice facility, and the staff members are always trying to fix the problems with the facility itself, like lately we have had trouble with the plumbing. The food here has been very good, and I have a beautiful scenery outside my room. I can look out and see the river and we have a very nice swimming pool. The physical fitness instructor and activities director are just superb. My entire body is improving and my overall health is getting much better. We do about 30 minute exercises, so the consistency and excellence of the programs really has been working. There are so many fun things to do here. For Mother's Day we had a tea party, everyone looked so lovely and the food was delicious. The majority of the residents that are here are just very lovely.

The community itself was in lock down while i was there. When they were started opening up we were able to go down into the dining room, but there was people there who would cough and not wear masks, They had one menu that was for the dining room, and one menu if you wanted to continue to eat in your rooms, however you could not mix the two menus. The freight elevator was always dirty, but the staff members were all wonderful and were very friendly.. Housekeeping was wonderful, my lady came to clean my apartment once a week.

The waitresses in the kitchen were fine we had no problems with them. We were able to use the exercise programs on the TV's, and whatever holidays was that day or coming up, they would come around with little goody bags.

The staff members are very good, It is a little expensive but for us its worth it. Prior to COVID and even after they have entertainment twice a week with dinner which is very nice, they also have bingo, a gym and arts and crafts. The food here is absolutely wonderful, they have a great variety to choose from. On Sundays we get our food delivered and we even drink champagne and watch the footballs games. Our apartment and terrace is very spacious and very beautiful. The view is gorgeous, we have a marina right in front of our terrace and we can walk down to the local restaurants.

I did not have to look anywhere else after seeing this facility, I really liked the staff members and liked what I saw. I am in a one bedroom apartment and it is adequate for my needs.They also have different sizes of apartments to choose from. As long as you are able to get around it is a great place. They have a gym, swimming pool, bar, movie theatre, etc. so there is plenty to do.

I really liked the people at Campo Felice they were all very nice, and i liked the fact that it was a high rise building. The room sizes are very good and the food was tasty and nutritional. I would recommend this community to a family or friend.

Very nice views from this high-rise but not really my mother's style. The tour guide was good and it was very organized.

Although Campo Felice is a clean and lovely place, they have a lot of issues with the property. My parents moved in October and their unit did not have hot water and the air conditioner did not work in one of the bedrooms. There are four elevators and only two work. At least once a week, one breaks and all the seniors have to use one elevator. With wheelchairs and walkers, going twice a day to the dining room, the tenants spend a long time waiting for the elevator to arrive. Two months later, the air conditioner was fixed but the hot water in one bedroom works 3/7 days of the week and the elevator still breaks down. This is unacceptable for a 91 year old man and for the price we pay for their unit. They should have offered us another unit before they moved in since they knew they had hot water issues. The staff is kind and the activities are good but they are losing tenants and have not been able to reach the 50% occupancy that will allow them to improve the facility. They have not delivered all of the amenities they promised when we toured the facility with my parents which is false advertisement. We are still deciding if we should move my parents to another facility but it is very stressful at their age!
