  • 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 offers beautiful views and is run by very friendly and helpful staff. Pitches are generally spacious, and many appreciate the private sinks with water. While some mention ongoing construction and a need for site tidying, others highlight clean facilities and a pleasant atmosphere. Access can be challenging for larger vehicles due to narrow roads. The swimming pool is a popular amenity. There are occasional comments regarding limited numbers of toilets and showers.

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.
