Villa, 645 m²

Camaiore, Lucca (province)

Versilia

We are pleased to present a refined design relais in Versilia: an exclusive and elegant countryside retreat nestled in the hills of Camaiore, just a few minutes by car from Viareggio and Forte dei Marmi. This location is a true work of art: once the residence of a renowned critic and writer, and during the twentieth century a discreet salon for artists and intellectuals. Today, the property has been brought back to life through a renovation that preserved the stately character and historical identity of the villa while updating its services, systems, and usability. The result is a hospitality experience that evokes printed books and historic gardens, delivered with a standard of excellence and meticulous attention to detail.

The main villa extends over three floors and hosts six spacious suites, each with a different atmosphere but consistent in taste and quality. The interiors are characterized by natural fabrics, warm woods, refined bathrooms, and soft lighting, creating a sense of intimacy and comfort. The architecture retains the charming signs of the pastframes, high ceilings, and authentic flooringwhile the internal layout makes the property highly versatile, suitable both as a private residence for those seeking space and privacy and as a boutique hospitality venue for those wishing to operate a charming accommodation. The presence of the suites allows for a dual function: the intimacy and warmth of a home, combined with the capacity for hospitality when required.

Outside, the property features a rare and enchanting park: centuries-old trees, unusual plant species, and paths that open onto unexpected views, creating an almost fairytale-like atmosphere. A nearby stream regulates the breeze, producing a surprising microclimate that is particularly pleasant even during the hottest summer days. In the background, the Apuan Alps frame the landscape with pure lines and natural elegance, providing a constantly changing scenic backdrop. The garden hosts two guest-only swimming poolstwo mirrors of water that become a daily ritual of relaxation and socializing, perfect for quiet breakfasts, reading in the shade, or long conversations at sunset.

The operational heart of the property is a fully equipped professional kitchen, capable of effortlessly managing everything from a homely breakfast to a refined dinner for discerning guests. Dining services are offered in elegant indoor rooms and a large covered terrace, an ideal setting for outdoor meals from March to October. The mise en place is carefully curated and the logistics impeccable, ensuring a high-level gastronomic experience. For those seeking greater privacy, the property allows the creation of independent access and an exclusive garden, providing full functional independence while maintaining the shared context.

The atmosphere is the property's defining feature: muffled, timeless, and cultured. Here, beauty is not merely aestheticit is a lifestyle. Silence has the density of ancient greenhouses, the scent is that of Mediterranean scrub and citrus, and the light changes in three acts from morning to afternoon to evening. All of this is just a few kilometers from the sea and the amenities of the coast: iconic restaurants, beach clubs, tourist marinas for boat trips, golf clubs, and cycling paths in the Camaiore plainan authentic Versilia, not a postcard.

From a real estate perspective, the property represents a valuable asset for those seeking a home with strong identity and premium positioning. The advantages are clear: six ready-to-use suites, a professional kitchen, two pools, a historic park, a unique microclimate, and the possibility of independent access and an exclusive garden. In short: a primary residence with character or a second home with hospitality potential (subject to urban planning and authorization checks), perfect for family retreats, artist residencies, cultural hospitality, or carefully curated private micro-events.

Integrated consultancy services are also available: from positioning to enhancement planning, from document due diligence to managing visits with qualified buyers, and even a possible discreet income generation plan coordinated with the hospitality team. The philosophy is simple: preserve the genius of the place and ensure that it translates into quality of life and, if desired, financial performance.

This property is an expression of style: the countryside home you've always imagined, with contemporary standards, authentic greenery, and the sea just a short distance away. A place where every day begins well.
