Little Gem No. 046 | Forget the world outside

Tucked away on a peaceful hill just minutes from the Tuscan coast, this restored farmhouse has been reimagined as a contemporary guesthouse, offering an elegant escape surrounded by timeless beauty. Ancient trees, olive groves, and fragrant Mediterranean plants create an atmosphere of serenity, while the hilltop location offers breathtaking views that stretch all the way to the sea.

An expansive terrace, shaded by wisteria-covered pergolas, invites guests to relax in vintage wrought iron chairs, perfect for savoring a homemade breakfast, diving into a good book, or simply enjoying the soothing rhythm of the day. Lavender, rosemary, and sage perfume the air, creating a calming setting that enhances the experience. Nearby, a heated saltwater pool becomes the centerpiece for relaxation, open from the first days of spring to the golden hues of autumn.

The Guesthouse

Inside, the guesthouse radiates charm and individuality. Rooms blend vintage furnishings with contemporary design, showcasing the owner’s keen eye for detail and love of art. Sculptures and a curated collection of artwork adorn the space, adding layers of texture and personality. The result is a warm, welcoming retreat that feels both luxurious and effortless—a place where every corner tells a story.

Culinary Delights

Evenings are filled with culinary magic as guests gather to enjoy dinners prepared by a talented chef. With dishes that embrace the rich flavors of Tuscany, each meal is an exploration of local traditions paired with modern creativity. The experience is intimate and convivial, perfectly capturing the essence of the region.

For a more hands-on experience, the chef invites guests to learn the secrets of Tuscan cuisine in intimate cooking classes, crafting traditional three-course meals from scratch (every Wednesday)

Exploring the Area

The guesthouse’s location in Versilia is ideal for exploring the Tuscan coastline and beyond. Nearby towns like Pietrasanta, Forte dei Marmi, and Viareggio offer a mix of art, culture, and unspoiled beaches. Further afield, the Cinque Terre awaits with its colorful villages and verdant trails, while the iconic coastal gems of Portofino and San Fruttuoso beckon to adventurous travelers.

For those drawn to the mountains, the Apuanian Alps provide an incredible backdrop, with trails leading to the renowned marble quarries of Carrara. These quarries, once a source of inspiration for Michelangelo, are steeped in history and artistry.

Closer to home, cultural treasures abound. The walled city of Lucca, with its connection to Puccini, offers a unique blend of history and charm, while Pisa and Florence—both within an hour’s drive—are perfect for day trips. For those seeking a quieter, more historical journey, the ancient pilgrim route of Via Francigena passes right by, offering a chance to connect with the past.

Private Beach Club

An Artistic Haven

Art is woven into the very fabric of this guesthouse. Sculptures and artwork grace the space, reflecting the creativity of local and international artists. The nearby town of Pietrasanta, a hub for sculpture since the 1800s, adds depth to the artistic journey, with its workshops and exhibitions complementing the guesthouse’s own collection.
