Property description
The restoration of an old farmhouse gave birth to this beautiful, contemporary-style structure, just a few minutes from the gentle sea breeze of the Tuscan coast, on a hill overlooking Camaiore, in the province of Versilia. Centuries-old trees and olive groves mark the path to the guesthouse, where aromatic and ornamental plants bring guests into a state of tranquillity. The property's hillside location offers an enchanting view, gently drawing all eyes back to the sea. A large panoramic terrace, set amidst olive trees, lavender, flowering rosemary and sage, is the ideal place to enjoy this splendid view. It captivates the mind, spirit and body in every season. Under the pergolas of wisteria are elegant vintage wrought-iron furnishings, where you can have breakfast or read a good book^Crossing the threshold of the farmhouse, you are greeted by an intimate and warm ambience full of charm and elegance. The atmosphere of a country house is enhanced by the careful selection of furnishings that skilfully combine past and present. Locally made sculptures and an extensive art collection are set in a frame of charm and grace, creating a natural juxtaposition of time, texture and technique. There is a natural meeting of comfort and style, of land and sea, of luxury and ease. ^The atmosphere of the structure is that of a warm country house. Its three floors house several interesting rooms and suites, furnished with sophisticated taste and unique pieces that add much character to the space. Interesting exhibits, ranging from the Art Deco style of the 1920s to the vintage design of the 1940s, 1950s and 1970s, create an elegant and harmonious atmosphere in which peace and privacy reign. ^Each floor has a cosy living room and a serene terrace, areas where one can take advantage of the peace and tranquillity that permeates the property.^^Situated in the beloved Tuscan coastal province of Versilia, the property's incomparable location allows for a variety of day trips.^The Tuscan coast is renowned for fantastic restaurants, great art and pristine beaches.

Lord Byron once lived on the coast of Lerici, and further up the coast around the Cinque Terre one can find beautiful, verdant hikes and other nature activities. Just beyond the Cinque Terre is one of Italy's golden coastlines: Portofino , Santa Margherita Ligure and the little gem of San Fruttuoso .^The Apuan Alps surround the farmhouse, rising from the Versilia plain to a height of 2000 metres. Don't miss the marble quarries of Carrara .^Returning towards Tuscany, only half an hour away is the beautiful walled city of Lucca , Puccini's birthplace and the city where he wrote most of his arias.
