Liguria: coastal trails, colorful villages, and seafood flavors

In Liguria, the sea meets the mountains to create spectacular landscapes. Staying on a local farm here means you’re just steps away from postcard-perfect beaches and historic villages.

If you love hiking, walk the Sentiero Azzurro between Monterosso and Vernazza, admiring vineyards that plunge toward the sea and breathtaking views. Don’t miss Portovenere, with its church perched on the rocks, Camogli with its pastel houses, or Albenga with its medieval old town and ancient towers.

Try the focaccia di Recco and classic Genovese pesto—perfect treats on your motorhome journey. And don’t forget to stop among olive groves and cliffs to enjoy an unforgettable Ligurian sunset.

With Agricamper you can stay at farmhouses or agricultural estates in the Ligurian hills and reach the sea in just minutes.

Tuscany: from the Uccellina Park to the Etruscan Coast

Tuscany isn’t just art and rolling hills—it’s also home to golden beaches and unspoiled coastline. With your motorhome or caravan, stop along the Etruscan Coast: you’ll find beaches like Baratti, with its reddish sand and Etruscan archaeological site, or the Populonia promontory with its stunning sea views.

Further south, the Maremma Park (or Uccellina Park) is a paradise for nature lovers. Trails through Mediterranean scrub lead you to quiet coves, where you might spot deer or grazing Maremmana cattle.

Stop in Castiglione della Pescaia, Grosseto and its marina, or Capalbio to enjoy sandy beaches, shaded pine forests, and ancient villages with medieval walls and scenic viewpoints. Savor a classic cacciucco fish stew from Livorno or pici pasta with Maremman ragù before settling in for a quiet night in your motorhome.

Thanks to Agricamper, you can choose among many stopovers in Italy, sleeping among vineyards and olive groves just a short drive from the coast.

Marche: from the Conero Riviera to the beaches of Senigallia and Fano

The Marche coastline offers a perfect mix of unspoiled nature and charming seaside villages. Along the Conero Riviera, hike panoramic trails and discover hidden coves like Due Sorelle beach or Mezzavalle, with clear water and great snorkeling.

Nature and relaxation await in Sirolo and Numana, two lovely villages with narrow lanes and sea-view terraces. If you prefer long sandy beaches, Senigallia is perfect with its famous “velvet beach” stretching for kilometers. Further south, Fano welcomes you with its peaceful seafront, Roman old town, and fine sandy beaches ideal for families and relaxing days.

Don’t miss the chance to explore local culture: visit Loreto with its impressive sanctuary or stroll the medieval walls of Recanati, birthplace of Giacomo Leopardi.

And of course, enjoy regional dishes like vincisgrassi or the classic brodetto fish stew. For travelers in motorhomes or caravans, you’ll find clean beaches, wild nature, and plenty of history.

With Agricamper you can stay at farms in the Marche countryside and reach the sea in a day trip, enjoying the quiet of the country at night.

Puglia: from the Gargano to the Salento

Puglia invites you to travel by motorhome or caravan along hundreds of kilometers of coastline. In the north, the Gargano offers shaded forests and turquoise seas. Stop at the Gargano National Park and visit Monte Sant’Angelo, a UNESCO site, or head down to the beaches of Vieste and Peschici.

Further south, the Salento coast enchants with its mix of cliffs and white sandy beaches. Visit Otranto with its cathedral’s stunning mosaics, or Santa Maria di Leuca, where the Adriatic and Ionian seas meet.

Between swims, treat yourselves to a plate of orecchiette with turnip tops or polpo alla pignata, slow-cooked octopus in tomato sauce.

With Agricamper, you can stay at local farms or even wineries, immersing yourself in the scents and flavors of the region. Stopovers in Italy have never felt this authentic.

Calabria: from the Coast of the Gods to the Riviera of the Cedars

Calabria is a paradise for travelers in motorhomes, caravans, or campervans looking for crystal-clear seas and wild scenery. Along the Coast of the Gods, stop in Tropea, famous for its white beach below the sanctuary of Santa Maria dell’Isola and water that looks Caribbean.

Continue to Capo Vaticano to discover hidden coves and perfect snorkeling spots. Don’t miss a stroll in Pizzo to see the Murat Castle and taste its famous tartufo gelato, a Calabrian pastry specialty.

Further south, Catanzaro offers a long sandy promenade and a historic center full of panoramic views and monuments. On the northern Tyrrhenian side, the Riviera of the Cedars greets you with long sandy beaches like Scalea and Praia a Mare, plus caves and sea stacks like Dino Island.

Don’t forget Paola, with its beautiful sanctuary dedicated to Saint Francis and its historic seafront village.

If you love untouched nature, head inland to the Aspromonte National Park or the Pollino Park. And for dinner, try spicy ‘nduja or fileja pasta with goat ragù.

With Agricamper, you can stop at farms nestled among olive groves and hills, sleeping peacefully just a few kilometers from the sea.

Sardinia: from the Gulf of Orosei to the beaches of Sulcis and the north

Sardinia is a dream for anyone traveling by motorhome or caravan. You can explore it in total freedom, stopping in nature and reaching some of the Mediterranean’s most stunning beaches.

On the east coast, the Gulf of Orosei offers iconic spots like Cala Luna, Cala Mariolu, and Cala Goloritzé, accessible by hike or boat. At Santa Maria Navarrese you can relax and set off on spectacular treks in the Supramonte mountains.

In the southwest, Sulcis offers wild beaches like Porto Pino, with its dazzling white dunes and lagoons filled with flamingos. Don’t miss Sant’Antioco, an island connected to the mainland with rocky coves, archaeological sites, and a lively seaside town. Explore the abandoned mines of Porto Flavia and marvel at the Pan di Zucchero sea stack.

Further north, Stintino welcomes you with the famous La Pelosa Beach, with its ultra-fine white sand and crystal-clear water that feels like a giant natural pool.

Don’t miss a cultural stop at Barumini to visit the Su Nuraxi nuraghe, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, or a stroll through Bosa with its colorful riverside houses.

For dinner, savor roasted porceddu or culurgiones, traditional stuffed pasta with potatoes and mint. With Agricamper, you can stay on farms in the Sardinian countryside, sleeping under a star-filled sky and reaching the sea by day.
