Campsites in Italy by the Mediterranean & Adriatic seaside

Italy is a world of wonders. It's one of those destinations that everyone dreams of one day. So it's your turn to soak up the Italian way of life by staying at one of our seaside campsites. Our selection stretches from north to south. You'll be close to regions and towns renowned the world over for their unrivalled beauty and charm. And to top it all off, Italy also has islands dotted around the Mediterranean: Sardinia and Sicily, like diamonds in the rough.

On the mainland, a whole world of delicacy teems in the midst of everyday life. The ancient wonders of Rome are a must-see. Florence's artistic grandeur is unquestioned. And Venice has become synonymous with romance. Yet Italy and its seaside would not live up to its reputation if we did not mention the effervescence of life so dear to Italians. Here, everything is buzzing, the horns are honking, people are talking with their hands and laughter is warm and open. Because, yes, it's the Italians who are Italy's greatest asset! The lively atmosphere gives this country a completely different face. Only in Italy do historic monuments come alive before your very eyes, where the cypress-lined countryside breathes in the warm wind and the sea speaks under the sun. And there's plenty to say in Italy! The wonders of Rome's Trevi Fountain, St Mark's Square in Venice, the Leaning Tower of Pisa or Milan Cathedral are like mirrors to the brilliance of Sardinia's heavenly beaches, the sun-drenched hills of Chianti, the Adriatic coves of Puglia and the impressive slopes of Vesuvius. It's up to you to wake up to such riches!

Camping by the sea in Italy is the best way to choose your starting point for exploring a region. Between the crystal-clear beaches of the coast and the beauty of the hinterland, the hardest part is knowing which part of Italy you want to discover!

If you're an epicurean, then Italy is the place for you. Each region has its own treats! And in every restaurant on our campsites, cuisine is celebrated as an art form. Marvel at the incomparable flavours of Neapolitan pizzas, tantalise your taste buds with tiramisu, savour the best spritzes and sample antipasti at every turn. Gluttony is certainly not a bad thing in Italy!

For families in search of historical adventures, a diversion on one of the days organised by our campsites will plunge you into history. You can marvel at the finest Roman remains at Pompeii or visit the Colosseum. You'll relive the Renaissance and the meanderings of wealthy families like the Medici or the Borgias. You'll marvel at the timeless beauty of the work of Leonardo da Vinci or Michelangelo. It's up to you to choose which era you want to live in!

And last but not least, relaxation! Fans of idleness will not be left out in this country with its immense and precious coastline. The Cinque Terre is one of the jewels of the seaside. It's up to you to decide whether you prefer the turquoise waters of Puglia with its beach at Marina di Pescoluse, nicknamed the little Maldives, or whether you prefer the dazzling whiteness of the grains of sand. In that case, Sardinia is full of nuggets such as Spiaggia delle Dune and the beach at Tuerredda. Ready to take the plunge?

Italy, with its thousands of kilometres of Mediterranean, Adriatic and Tyrrhenian coastline, is an ideal destination for seaside holidays.

Italy's beaches, renowned for their natural beauty, range from the long stretches of golden sand of the Adriatic coast to the rocky coves of Liguria.

The mild climate, crystal-clear waters and rich culture make Italy an attractive destination for lovers of sun, culture and gastronomy.

Italy's coastline is packed with must-see historic sites: the ancient ruins of Pompeii near the Bay of Naples, the charming port town of Cinque Terre in Liguria, and the magnificent islands of Ischia and Capri.

On the seafront of the Amalfi Coast, Positano and Amalfi offer picturesque settings, while the beaches of Sardinia, such as the Costa Smeralda, are renowned for their turquoise waters.

There's no shortage of things to do along the Italian coast, from lazing on the beaches to water sports such as surfing, sailing and snorkelling in the clear waters of the Mediterranean.

Hiking along coastal paths, wine tasting in the surrounding vineyards, or boat trips to explore the surrounding islands are also very popular.

Italy is easily accessible by air, with several international airports along its coasts, including Rome, Naples, Genoa and Bari.

Ferries run between the Italian islands and the main coastal cities.
