  • 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).

What customers say

This campsite is praised for its lovely, friendly, and helpful owners, beautiful views, and tranquil atmosphere. Guests appreciated the clean facilities, especially the individual sinks at each pitch, and the swimming pool. However, some found the access road narrow and challenging, particularly for larger motorhomes. A few noted limitations with the number of toilets and showers, and the Wi-Fi was reported as only available at the bar. Despite these points, many guests expressed a desire to return.

6-amp electric hardstanding and grass motorhome pitch

Liked The owner is lovely and very helpful.

Disliked Not suitable at all for motorhomes! Very difficult road up to the site and extremely narrow gate to the site. Could easily damage your motorhome. Pitches aren't really pitches just patches of untidy and unkempt bits of land. There are 3 toilets, which although very clean, are just sheds with no toilet paper and no handwashing facilities. There are 2 showers which again are just in single shed like buildings. The photo of the pool makes it look very different to what it actually is!!

Liked È un bel campeggio , gestito da persone molto amichevoli e cordiali. Bagni e docce super puliti e ben tenuti.
Ogni piazzola ha il suo lavandino con acqua: molto comodo!
per raggiungerlo passare dalla strada della coop un pò stretta l'ultimo pezzo ma ci si passa tranquillamente basta fare attenzione !
Per spostarsi dal campeggio (spiaggia, ristorante) è necessaria l'auto o un motorino con le bici c'è la strada un pò ripida.
Ci torneremo sicuramente!

Electric hardstanding and grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked It is fantastic camping, very friendly people running it. Super clean and nicely done toilet and shower
Each tent has its own si k with water - very convenient!
Easy access (if you follow their instructions!)
Nice view
What else ;-) !

Disliked There is no really place for the kids to play but there is à swimming pool !
To move from the camping (beach , restaurant) you need a car. Not really possible with the bikes (steep roads)
But we will go there again !

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.
