  • Quiet family-friendly holiday park in the Ligurian village of Cogoleto
  • Monte Beigua Natural Regional Park 20 minutes' drive; Genoa 40 minutes
  • Outdoor pool, bar and evening entertainment; beaches 10 minutes’ drive
Standing high over the Ligurian village of Cogoleto, Parco Vacanze Villa Athena is a quiet and family-friendly holiday park surrounded by olive and juniper trees – and from the pitches at this hilltop eyrie, you have far-reaching views down to the Mediterranean Sea. Handy family facilities on site include parent-and-baby washrooms, drying areas for clothes and communal freezers to keep all your edible goodies fresh. Shared barbecues are provided should you be self-catering, but there’s also a casual bar for family get-togethers on the terrace. What with the swimming pool, snacks or drinks on hand and evening entertainment in high season, there’s no real reason to ever leave this leafy hideaway, but it’s good to know that the beaches of the Ligurian Riviera are only 10 minutes’ drive away. Alternatively, turn inland and head for the hiking and cycling trails of Monte Beigua Natural Regional Park (20 minutes).

Liked: Run by a very friendly helpful gentleman. We took a wrong turn trying to find the campsite and ended up in a huge camper up a tiny dirt track surrounded by olive trees. He came to our rescue and helped me manoeuver a 50 point turn to get out. I will be eternally grateful. Later that night we took a taxi into the town and couldn't find a taxi home. He came to our aid again and picked us up. He was an angel. The camp site is nice. Shower is a little cold but wasn't too bad.

Lucía B. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Powered concrete and grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked: El trato de quien nos recibió fue agradable y el camping, aunque es pequeño y parece más familiar, está bien, tiene bastantes parcelas, aunque nosotros estuvimos en una un poco más separada o "aislada", aunque cerca del bar, la piscina y los baños.

Disliked: La parcela que nos tocó era de piedras totalmente en lugar de hierba como las otras, por lo que poner bien la tienda ya fue un poco más difícil. Además, se notaba bastante descuidada, dado que tenía un lavabo lleno de hojas (que más allá de que pueden caerse, lo que había no era de poco tiempo). Al irnos, avisé también al dueño de que nos habíamos encontrado con varios trozos de cristales, cosa que sí me parece un poco más peligroso y que tienen que revisar mejor (aunque fueran otros huéspedes quienes los hayan ocasionado). Aunque el camping también es para desconectar, el wifi solo funciona en la zona del bar, a tener en cuenta.

Liked: Nice, clean camp with a swimming pool. We got a nice pitch where you can park your car and grill. Staff is friendly, I would recommend the place. Toilets are clean.
Remember, Google map sucks - please follow the instructions that got sent to you by the staff.

Disliked: You need a swimming cap for the pool.
There are not many toilets (in the vicinity), though it was not a problem.

2-amp powered concrete and grass motorhome site

Liked: Abbiamo sostato con il nostro camper solo una notte ma siamo stati molto bene . Il posteggio era pianeggiante e molto largo ottimo per aprire la tenda esterna e poter mangiare fuori. Avevamo un lavandino privato per poter lavare i piatti e la presa per la corrente tutto adiacente al nostro spiazzo. Nonostante noi avessimo il bagno in camper la struttura offre dei bagni nuovi e anche la lavatrice . Il campeggio metteva a disposizione una bella piscina grande, piccolo parco per bambini e un bar dove potevi anche mangiare qualcosa senza dover uscire dal campeggio. E possibilità di scaricare le acque nere e caricare di acqua .

Disliked: Le uniche due pecche la strada molto stretta noi avendo un camper largo due metri e mezzo siamo passati giusti giusti e il rumore un po' degli altri ospiti e campeggi ma essendo in piena estate ci può stare

Liked: Die Buchung über Pitchup war Top und die Aussicht/Panorama des Campingplatzes gewaltig. Chef/Chefin sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit und aufgrund der Mängel gab's Brötchen und Cappuccino gratis zum Frühstück 😅
Unsere Tochter freute sich über den Spielplatz...

Disliked: Die Anreise zum Platz sehr anstrengend und eng, waren mit einem 7m Camper unterwegs was dort hoch hinauf mit dieser Größe schon sehr herausfordernd war. Wir waren bereits 20 Std unterwegs und mussten auf den Check in lange warten also freuten wir uns in der Wartezeit auf etwas zu Essen 😒 das gab's aus Assietten/Mikrowelle und waren künstlich schmeckende warm, kalte, harte, weiche Nudeln und dafür relativ teuer...Strom, keiner möglich, schmiss die Sicherung immer.

Local attractions

Sporty types can play golf (five minutes’ drive) and paddel tennis (10 minutes) locally, as well as go horse riding along woodland tracks in Monte Beigua Natural Regional Park (20 minutes). If you have nerves of steel, go downhill cycling to the coast (25 minutes’ ride) or head off onto mountain trails in Riserva Naturale Regionale Adelasia (55 minutes’ drive). Down on the Ligurian coastline, shingle beaches include Thelma (10 minutes) and Torrente Lerone (15 minutes), backed by a sprinkling of bars. You can follow the seafront Lungomare Europa to Varazze (two hours’ walk) and its lively beaches; if you’re lucky enough, you might just get to see whales passing by offshore. Head to Genoa (40 minutes) for a wander around the city’s labyrinthine medieval centre, or take the funicular up Via Cairoli to the ruined military forts in Parco Urbano delle Mura. Take a selfie by Renzo Piano’s gleaming, spherical La Biosfera, and later in the day visit the cute fishing village of Boccadasse (also 40 minutes) for a seafood supper at sunset.
