Camaiore is a small town in northwest Tuscany, just half an hour's drive from the medieval city of Lucca. The chic beach resorts of Viareggio and Forte dei Marmi are just ten kilometers (six miles) away, and the Cinqueterre, with its fabulous views, walks and boat trips, is 45 minutes up the coast. Visit the marble quarries of Carrara, where Michelangelo obtained his pure white marble, or the charming town of Pietrasanta (10 km), frequented by sculptors. Florence (1.5 hrs) and Pisa (30 min) are within easy reach, as well as all the hilltowns of Tuscany, each with its unique character. To the east and north is the region of the Garfagnana Mountains, with rushing streams, waterfalls and ancient stone villages. Pisa airport is 25 minutes away; Florence airport is 90 km (60 mi.); and Rome airport is 410 km (250 mi.).

Casa Versilia is located one kilometer uphill from Camaiore. It's a five minute drive to town and ten minutes to the beach. The house is located in an olive grove and is surrounded by fig and orange trees. Although you can not see the sea, there are views over the hills and town to the harbor of Viareggio.

The house is especially well suited for families with children, with plenty of outdoor living space, including an attractive patio and loggia and a lovely garden with views. This is a wonderful house for dining al fresco. There is a large, kidney shaped swimming pool (12.5 x 5 m), with a shallow end for young children and a diving board in the deep end. There is a pool house with bathroom, shower and lounge area.

The L-shaped living room has a fireplace and dining area that opens onto the back porch (with BBQ) and also onto the well equipped kitchen, which has its own door to the patio.

Three bedrooms are located in one wing of the house, along with a modern bathroom with tub. One bedroom has a queen-sized bed, one has joinable twin beds, and one has bunk beds so it is best for children.

A winding staircase leads to the third floor, where there is a triple bedroom and bathroom with shower.

All of the bedrooms are air-conditioned. Other amenities include telephone, guest safe, window screens, satellite-TV, washer, dishwasher, wireless high-speed internet access, and a pool house with another full bath with shower.

Although Casa Versilia technically can sleep nine, we think it is best for a family of up to six.
