Thanks to its location within natural surroundings, the site provides a peaceful escape while still offering “village-style” services, combining the charm of camping with the convenience of a holiday resort. Whether you’re travelling with your own camping equipment or opting for a comfortable bungalow, Villaggio C’era una Volta is designed for nature lovers, families, and anyone seeking a tranquil yet well-equipped stay in Liguria.

The campsite is ideally positioned to explore both the Ligurian coast and the inland countryside. The nearest beaches can be found in Albenga, located approximately 8–10 km away, where you’ll discover sandy and pebbled shores, beach clubs, and seaside promenades.

The historic town of Albenga is well worth a visit, known for its medieval towers, charming old town, and vibrant local markets. Here you’ll also find a wide selection of restaurants, cafés, bars, and shops, making it a convenient destination for dining and shopping.

Another popular coastal destination is Alassio, around 15 km away, famous for its sandy beaches, lively atmosphere, and boutique-lined streets. It’s an excellent spot for a full beach day or an evening out.

Nature lovers can explore the surrounding Ligurian hills with hiking and cycling routes directly accessible from the campsite area. The region offers stunning views, olive groves, and traditional villages that provide an authentic Italian experience.

Villaggio C’era una Volta is particularly well-suited for guests looking for a quiet, nature-focused holiday with access to the Ligurian coast. Due to its hillside and terraced layout, some areas of the campsite may involve walking on slopes or steps, which adds to its charm but is worth considering when choosing your accommodation.

The campsite offers a mix of traditional camping pitches and fully equipped accommodations, making it flexible for different types of travellers—from motorhome adventurers to families seeking bungalow comfort.

The pool area and on-site services create a self-contained holiday environment, but the nearby coastal towns provide additional options for dining, shopping, and entertainment. A car is highly recommended to explore the region comfortably and access the beaches within 10–15 minutes.

The Mediterranean climate ensures warm, sunny conditions during the main season, making it ideal for outdoor living, swimming, and exploring. Booking in advance, especially for peak summer months, is strongly advised due to the campsite’s popularity.
