Glamping in Liguria: From East to West, Outdoor Stays Without Giving Up Comfort
Do you love the idea of being in nature but don’t want to give up your comforts? Glamping might be just what you're looking for.
For a romantic getaway with a sea view, just a few kilometers from Portofino, glamping in Zoagli is a dream come true: a luxurious tent set among olive trees, where you can relax with a drink by the pool. Take in the sea view right from your bed and let the scent of Mediterranean scrub lull you into relaxation.
Heading to the western Riviera, the Tendù Deluxe Experience glamping welcomes you amidst scenic trails and panoramic views.

Top Camper Stops for Exploring Liguria
If your ideal trip involves exploring Liguria on four wheels, cruising along scenic roads between the sea and the hills, and stopping wherever the view steals your heart—Garden Sharing offers several camper-friendly sites throughout Liguria, carefully selected to give you both nature and freedom.
One of these is Cascina dei Peri, a rural spot tucked between mountains and the sea. Located on a working farm, you can taste local wine, wander through olive groves, and fully immerse yourself in Ligurian nature, all just a few kilometers from the beaches and charming towns like Sarzana.
Further inland, at the foot of the Ligurian Apennines, you’ll find Parisalla Rural Hub, a unique project focused on the restoration and preservation of an abandoned village. Here you’ll enjoy fresh forest air, scenic hiking trails, access to water and electricity, and even a private beach along the nearby stream.
Where to Camp in a Tent Between Genoa and the Most Beautiful Villages of the Eastern Riviera
Genoa is one of Italy’s most fascinating cities, with its shady, narrow alleyways called caruggi. As you explore these atmospheric streets, you’ll come across the extraordinary Palazzi dei Rolli, a unique group of over 42 noble residences recognized as UNESCO World Heritage sites. Discover Europe’s largest old town, visit the famous Aquarium, and step into historic shops where time and tradition seem to stand still.
If you feel like escaping the city buzz, head to the nearby villages along the Eastern Riviera—hidden gems you won’t want to miss.
If you’d rather stay close to the city while still being in touch with nature, there's a green space perfect for camping at the foot of Quarto hill. Just minutes from Genoa’s city center, you can camp among fruit trees and a sensory garden, experiencing outdoor life in the characteristic fasce (terraced hillsides) of Liguria—a peaceful and rejuvenating spot that’s still close to everything.
Looking for a more serene and spiritual stay, far from the urban rush? On Garden Sharing, you can book a spot at the Eremo di Collodari; a centuries old olive grove with tent pitches and a peaceful atmosphere. You can take part in meditation sessions and truly unwind in nature. Plus, you’re just a short drive from Recco, known for culinary treats like cheese focaccia and pansoti with walnut pesto, and Camogli, a picture-perfect fishing village with colorful houses overlooking the Gulf of Paradise.
Finally, the Sorgenti del Gramolo, in the heart of the Eastern Riviera, offer natural tent pitches surrounded by 50 hectares of forest—an ideal destination for hikers and outdoor enthusiasts. Located between the Cinque Terre and Portofino, it’s a strategic base for tackling the Alta Via dei Monti Liguri: a hiking network that stretches across natural parks and panoramic peaks—440 km of trails you can explore on foot, mountain bike, or even horseback.
