FAQ

frequently asked questions

Does the Birdsnest exist?

Yes it does, we finished in 2021!

Why would I make a reservation now already?

Early Birds (early reservations) have big benefits over the ones who book later. Early Birds get the whole Birdsnest for a discounted price and can reschedule and cancel whenever they want up to 30 days before arrival. So it's not necessary to already know when exactly you can come. Early Bird tickets are limited and only for the first people who are enthusiastic so we offer them as much in return as possible!

Can the tent be closed?

Yes it can be closed (quite easily actually), but we suggest to leave it open. The openair experience is why the Birdsnest is a truly unique experience in the world. But its definitely possible to close it if you wish

Will rain get inside the tent?

Nope it won't. The tent is wide enough to avoid rain getting inside the sleeping area. Also we are only open from May - October. It rains very little those months. It's dry during the days and nights, and it's not humid. We do look into the weather forecast and install sidepanels in the tent in the very rare occasion there is rain forecasted

How to safely store luggage?

There is a storage and safety locker box, where you can safely store all your valuable belongings locked and well. So you can enjoy days out and about, worry-free

Whats the location?

The Birdsnest is in Collabassa, Imperia, Italy

Whats the nearest airport?

Nice Airport is just 45min drive away from the Birdsnest. Its very easy to rent a car there as well and it's a beautiful drive along the cote d'azur

How can I trust you really exist?

We found out some people are uncertain if we really exist. Of course we do, but don't take our word for it, we are happy to proof it:

  • we can arrange a video call, we'll show you the birdsnest in person
  • you can find us on google maps in satellite view you'll see the birdsnest: https://maps.app.goo.gl/BwqDJevdAL47bV8V6
  • On google maps, the streetview shows you the entrance (its the old entrance because its a picture from 2021, it looks now 100x better!), but you'll see the tent looking through the bush: https://shorturl.at/mZVz4

What about insects and mosquitos during the night?

There'll be very good mosquito nets installed and you will have ventilators, to secure a perfect night sleep!

Isn't it scary to sleep there?

This is not a weird thought of course, but you don't have to worry at all, its an extremely friendly environment and you will 100% feel this as well. The only thing you will hear is the sound of the river and the birds. Its very very peaceful

Can I park my car at the birdsnest?

Yes we have 2 private parking spots right in front of the birdsnest. Besides that there is parking in the village

Isn't it cold without walls or too hot in summer?

We make sure you wont be cold by having heaters and blankets in the spring and fall. Also the sidepanels you can close quickly and roll up during the day in these months. So you will never be cold. In the summer months there are lots of ventilators to keep you cool + there is the pool to cool down in.
