Camping dei Fiori in Liguria. A holiday among olive groves, near the sea and mountain biking trails.

If Italian holidays primarily evoke images of Garda, Tuscany, or the Adriatic coast, Liguria is also worth considering. This narrow strip of Italy's northwest coast connects the Ligurian Sea with green hills and mountains, and its small seaside towns have a completely different atmosphere than the large holiday resorts. It is here, in Pietra Ligure on the Riviera delle Palme, that Camping dei Fiori is located.

This relatively small, family-friendly campsite is nestled among Mediterranean greenery. It's about 600 meters from the beach and about a kilometer from the historic center of Pietra Ligure. However, it's the surroundings that impress most. The campsite occupies nearly 3 hectares of land in a century-old olive grove.

This makes it suitable for people looking for a seaside campsite in Italy, but not necessarily a huge holiday park with thousands of guests.

Campsite on the Ligurian Sea near Pietra Ligure

Camping dei Fiori isn't directly on the beach, but the sea is close enough to be a natural part of your vacation. The coast is about 600 meters away, and the campsite also offers a shuttle service to the beaches of Pietra Ligure.

A major advantage of the location is its proximity to the town itself. Pietra Ligure boasts a promenade, restaurants, small old town streets, and a typically Italian seaside atmosphere. So, there's no need to hop in the car every evening to go out for dinner, ice cream, or a walk.

You can also use Camping dei Fiori as a base for exploring Liguria. Finale Ligure and Albenga are nearby, and the region's landscape invites excursions both along the coast and into the mountains.

It's this combination that's the biggest advantage of this part of Italy. You can spend a few hours on the beach in the morning, return to the pool in the afternoon, and then swap the sea for a mountain bike ride the next day.

Swimming pool and water playground for children

Families with children aren't limited to the beach. Camping dei Fiori has its own pool area, designed to provide a variety of activities for both children and adults.

For the youngest, there's a spray park with fountains, showers, a colorful slide, and water toys. The water is only about 25 cm deep, making it primarily for smaller children. Next to it is an area with loungers.

Adults have a separate swimming pool measuring 15 by 7 meters and approximately 1.4 meters deep. It's not a large water park comparable to the largest resorts on Lake Garda, but that's precisely why Camping dei Fiori can be a good choice for families looking for a more tranquil setting.

The campsite also offers entertainment and a playground, so during a longer stay you don't have to organize activities for your children outside the campsite every day.

Cottage, glamping or holiday in your own camper?

Camping dei Fiori offers several accommodation options. Those traveling with their own camper, caravan, or tent can choose a pitch nestled in the greenery. According to CampRest, the campsite has approximately 90 pitches, each measuring 40–60 m². A separate area for tents is also available.

Pitches vary in size and shade. Toilets with hot water are located nearby, and campers can take advantage of amenities such as electricity hookups and camper service.

However, you don't need to bring your own RV. The campground also offers mobile homes for 3-6 people. Depending on the type chosen, they feature bedrooms, a kitchenette, a bathroom, a living area, and a covered veranda. Various standards and sizes are available, from compact models for couples and small families to larger mobile homes with two bathrooms.

Glamping is an interesting alternative. You can opt for a Glam Tent with bedrooms and a kitchenette, or for more unusual lodge options. This is a solution for those who want to experience the atmosphere of camping but don't want to bring all their tent equipment.

One of the most interesting campsites in Liguria for cyclists

Camping dei Fiori is especially worth considering if, in addition to the sea, you're interested in mountain biking. Pietra Ligure lies in the Finale Outdoor Region, one of the most famous MTB and enduro areas in this part of Europe.

From the campsite, you can access trails in the Ranzi region, among others. A network of trails leads towards Monte Carmo, which rises to 1,389 meters above sea level, and some of the routes have been used in international enduro competitions.

The campsite itself is well-equipped for cyclists. There's a bike room with basic equipment for minor repairs, a bike wash station, and e-bike charging facilities. At reception, you can get information about bike rentals, guides, and a bike shuttle, which helps you get your bike to higher trails.

This allows you to plan a vacation during which part of the family spends the day at the seaside or by the pool, while MTB enthusiasts hit the trails.

Italian holidays without a big resort

There's a restaurant, pizzeria, and bar on-site, so you don't have to cook every day or find a place to eat outside the campsite. Basic services for longer stays are also available, including laundry. The campsite is also pet-friendly, with dogs allowed on pitches and in some of the available accommodations.

Camping dei Fiori doesn't attempt to compete in scale with Italy's largest holiday parks. Its strengths lie in its location and more intimate atmosphere. It boasts Mediterranean greenery, proximity to the sea, a swimming pool for children and adults, proximity to Pietra Ligure, and excellent opportunities for active people.

This is a good option for families, couples and campervan travellers who want to combine their holiday by relaxing on the beach with sightseeing and discovering a less obvious region of Italy.
