Last minute holiday to Camogli: Discover the hidden jewel of the Italian Riviera

Do you dream of a sun-drenched holiday where time seems to have stood still? Look no further. A holiday in Camogli offers the perfect balance between authentic Italian charm, crystal-clear seawater and a breathtaking view of the Ligurian coast. Located at the foot of the Portofino peninsula, this colorful fishing village is an oasis of peace for everyone who wants to go on a cheap holiday in Europe without compromising on quality or atmosphere.

Whether you are looking for a romantic weekend away, a relaxing family holiday in Camogli, or an active walking holiday along the paths of the Parco di Portofino: at Leisure Time you will find the most idyllic holiday homes for your dream trip.

Why Camogli is the perfect holiday destination

Camogli, also known as "the town of the thousand white sailing ships", is one of the most photogenic places on the Italian Riviera. Unlike the busier neighbors such as Portofino or Santa Margherita Ligure, Camogli has kept its raw, authentic character. The high, pastel-colored houses that border directly on the pebble beaches, create a unique decor that immediately brings every visitor into the holiday mood.

Cheap holiday in Europe: Savings tips for Liguria

Many travelers think that the Italian Riviera is unaffordable, but with the right approach you can celebrate a holiday here very affordably.

  • Travel outside the high season: Visit Camogli in May, June or September for lower prices and a wonderful climate.
  • Book a holiday home: By booking a holiday home with a kitchen via Leisure Time, you save significantly on restaurant costs and enjoy the local markets.
  • Use public transport: Camogli is excellently connected by train, which means you do not have to rent a car to explore the region.

What to do in Camogli and surroundings?

There is no shortage of activities in this atmospheric village. Whether you like culture, nature or pure relaxation, there is something for everyone.

1. Walking in the Parco di Portofino

For the active vacationer, a walk to the San Fruttuoso bay is an absolute highlight. The path leads you through fragrant pine forests and offers spectacular views over the azure sea.

2. Enjoy Italian gastronomy

Taste the local specialty: Focaccia di Recco (a paper-thin focaccia filled with melted cheese). The many trattorias at the harbor offer fresh fish dishes that come directly from the fishing boats.

FAQ: Frequently asked questions about a holiday to Camogli

Is Camogli suitable for a family holiday with children?

Certainly! Camogli is very child-friendly and offers a quiet alternative to the busier places in the region. Keep in mind that the beaches consist of pebbles and the sea quickly becomes deeper; supervision with small children is therefore desired.

What is the best travel time for a holiday in Camogli?

The best period is from April to and including June, or in the autumn (September-October). The weather is then wonderfully pleasant and the biggest tourist flows are not there yet. Are you visiting Camogli in May? Then you can experience the famous fish festival Sagra del Pesce.

How do I best get to Camogli?

The easiest way is by train. Camogli has its own station on the main line between Genoa and La Spezia. Are you coming by car? Keep in mind that parking in the village center is very limited; park preferably at the indicated parking areas at the edge of the village.

Is a holiday in Camogli expensive?

It depends on how you travel. By choosing a holiday home instead of a hotel and making use of the train, you can perfectly go on a cheap holiday in Europe. The prices in August are considerably higher than in the spring or autumn.

Do I have to book far in advance?

Camogli is a loved destination by both international tourists and Italians themselves. Certainly for the summer months and holidays it is advisable to lay down your stay via Leisure Time several months in advance.
