ADVENTURE HOLIDAYS, BUT WITHOUT RENOUNCING TO LUXURY:
THE GLAMPING PHENOMENON
Discovering exclusive places, comfort and sustainability
Luxury camping: it would seem an oxymoron, almost a paradox, but it is not. Indeed,
the glamping – neologism that arises from the combination of glamor and camping – is an increasingly widespread phenomenon, thanks to a winning formula that combines the luxury of design and structures equipped with every comfort with an essential proximity to nature, all in exclusive and wild locations. Th e concept of ‘tent’ is reinterpreted, perfectly adapting itself to the natural context in which it is immersed: in some cases, they are wooden constructions on a tree, or transparent eco-capsules immersed in nature, or wagons of ancient trains completely renovated, or fl oating structures. You will enjoy the utmost space without giving up any comfort: from the air conditioning system to the private toilet, from the Wi-Fi to the minibar. All in the name of sustainability and energy effi ciency.
Glamping is becoming increasingly popular in Italy, thanks to the extensive tourist off er associated with natu-ral beauties and exclusive places, as in the case of the Tiliguerta Camping Village of Muravera, in the province of Cagliari, or Torre Rinalda Camping Village in Lecce – both mentioned among the 10 best glamping facilities in Italy by Koobkamp, a specialized tourist network – or the Pietra Serena farm, equipped with typical Asian yurts immersed in the hilly landscape of Chianti.
Th ere is a solution for all the tastes: for those who dream of reenacting the glories of King Arthur or Henry VIII, the Knight’s Leeds Castle glamping off ers medieval-style tents with canopy beds and old-fashioned fur-nishings, while those who cannot give up the relaxation of hydro massage can visit Lodges en Provence, with its Jacuzzi tubs.

Go to the Conestoga Ranch in Garden City, Utah, where you can sleep inside ancient carriages.
Aft er all, glamping is not a simple accommodation, but a complete immersion, a comprehensive experience in the surrounding environment.
