Recommended itineraries for your campervan road trip in Italy

Starting from our rental van agency located in Nice, set off on a journey to the heart of Italian culture and landscapes:

Day 1: after picking up the keys to your fitted van, head to the Italian border. Visit the famous market in Ventimiglia and the lush gardens of Sanremo overlooking the sea.

Day 2: after a night enjoying the comfort of your van's bedding, hit the road towards Genoa. Explore the old town with its narrow alleys and the San Lorenzo Cathedral.

Day 3: aboard your rental van, reach one of the gems of the Ligurian country, Portofino, a small port nestled between green hills. Do not miss the hike leading up to the town's lighthouse. The views are breathtaking.

Day 4: not far from the town of Portofino, continue your road trip towards the Cinque Terre. It is a cluster of five coastal villages perched on cliff sides.

Day 5: before returning to our van rental agency in Nice, we recommend a stop in Dolceacqua, a medieval town with a very romantic atmosphere, located slightly inland.
