Glamping in Liguria: Cinque Terre and the Italian Riviera in 2026
Liguria is one of Italy's fastest-growing regions for glamping, driven mostly by the Cinque Terre hinterland: olive groves, terraced hillsides above the sea, and small family-run stays priced well below the touristy coast itself. It's one of the eight areas featured in our roundup of the best glamping destinations in Europe, with 2026 prices ranging from €110 to over €300 a night depending on area and season.
The best areas for glamping in Liguria
Three areas stand out: the Cinque Terre hinterland, the Riviera di Levante around Portofino and La Spezia, and the Riviera di Ponente towards Finale Ligure — each offering a different balance of price, sea access and quiet.
Cinque Terre hinterland: olive groves and terraces
A few kilometres from Italy's most photographed coastline, the Ligurian hinterland is home to small glamping stays set among olive groves and terraced vineyards, often family-run. It's an ideal base for exploring the Cinque Terre trails without paying the prices — or fighting the crowds — of Vernazza, Monterosso or Manarola in peak season.
Riviera di Levante: Portofino and the Gulf of Poets
Around Portofino, Rapallo and the Gulf of Poets near La Spezia, Liguria's most polished glamping stays cluster near coves and small harbours. Prices here are the region's highest, especially in July and August, but the mix of sea, pine woods and villages remains among the most sought-after scenery in Italy.
Riviera di Ponente: Finale Ligure and the Imperia hinterland
Towards Finale Ligure and the hinterland of Imperia province, glamping leans more towards outdoor sport — mountain biking, climbing, hiking — with simple stays set among olive trees and Mediterranean scrub. It's the area with the best value for money in the region.
How much does glamping in Liguria cost?
As already noted in our guide to glamping prices in Europe, equipped tents in the hinterland start at €110-160 a night, domes and design stays go from €180 to €280, and luxury lodges near the coast between Portofino and the Cinque Terre go above €300. The Ligurian hinterland remains one of the Italian areas where you spend the least for comparable quality compared with the coast.
When to go
May-June and September remain the best months: pleasant weather, quieter Cinque Terre trails and lower prices than peak summer. July and August are the coast's busiest period, with advance booking strongly recommended. Most sites are open from April to October.
