15 Wonderful Glamping in Italy

by 26, Apr, 2021Italy, Travel Trends

Glamping in Italy, a new idea born from the union of the words Glamour and Camping, representing a new form of tourism that combines camping with the refinement of a boutique hotel. These accommodations offer an innovative experience in contact with nature, without sacrificing comfort and elegance, and eco-friendly.
Although it is a concept that has already existed for a few years, Glamping in Italy is experiencing growing popularity, especially among those looking for an alternative to traditional beach holidays or city breaks.

But let’s see exactly what it is.

 

 

What is Glamping?

Glamping structures combine comfort and nature into a unique experience: transparent domes, bungalows, and yurts designed according to the principles of bioarchitecture, with a low environmental impact and carefully crafted interiors that reflect the natural surroundings. In a glamping site, you can experience camping in style: from staying in a tent reminiscent of the African savanna to relaxing in a mini wooden chalet while sipping a cocktail. Each pre-set tent reveals a cozy retreat with comfortable beds, colorful fabrics, and exotic decorations.

These structures harmoniously blend with the surrounding nature, offering an eco-friendly and intimate vacation, far from the noises of daily life.

Glamping in Italy

From Veneto to Apulia, Marche, Abruzzo ma anche in Emilia-Romagna and Tuscany which holds the record for the most glamping sites, there is a glamping experience in nearly every region of Italy. Some options are simpler, while others are more luxurious, but all of them are unique and perfect for romantic nights under the stars and unforgettable weekends.

This is a list I compiled for myself, a kind of wishlist of the most beautiful glamping spots I’ve found online, where I can’t wait to stay soon! Let me tell you more about them in detail.

Every yurt is “baptized,” and inside, you’ll find the full explanation of its history and symbolism.
