  • 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 lovely views and a peaceful atmosphere, with many praising the friendly and helpful staff. Pitches are generally spacious, with some featuring a convenient sink and water supply. The swimming pool is a popular amenity. However, access can be challenging due to narrow, winding roads and a tight entrance, particularly for larger vehicles. Some guests noted that toilet and shower facilities are limited and basic, although often reported as clean. Ongoing improvements are apparent, with a new swimming pool mentioned. Wi-Fi is typically only available in the bar area.

6-amp electric hardstanding and grass motorhome pitch

Liked The chap who met us and welcomed us in was very helpful, and the pitch was a decent size and close to the toilet and shower block. Very peaceful and quiet location

Disliked It was very difficult to locate the site, at the top of a narrow and twisting road, also the access road once through the gate would not really suit anything larger than our MWB campervan. The toilets and shower, although clean and functional were quite basic compared to many other places we have stayed for a similar cost

Electric hardstanding and grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Beautiful scenery surrounded by mountains and views of the Ligurian Coast. Good price, simple campsite with all the amenities needed, nice hot cabin shower, good bar (opened just for me as I stayed near the end of the season), missed out on the little swimming pool but looked beautiful. Excellent customer service and welcome by the owner and I had a lovely cat look after me all night! Lots of cuddles in exchange for some treats and a small bowl of milk.

If you're in a big vehicle there are some windy roads to reach the campsite but nothing unusual for Italy and only for 15 mins.

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.
