Anwesen / Landgut - Camaiore

On the plus side, the pool is wonderful, although quite a distance from the villa. The villa provides a very Tuscan experience - think 'Under the Tuscan Sun'. It is charming and quaint, although some may find it rather cluttered and lacking some mod cons we take for granted elsewhere in the world.

In August it can be very hot. Fans in all the bedrooms are a minimum requirement for comfort.

Some of the beds in the villa have very hard, old mattresses that can be considered uncomfortable by modern standards. The time it takes for hot water to reach the upstairs bathroom is also unreasonably long. This is something we were made aware of, but paying guests shouldn’t have to deal with this annoying quirk.

This is a large property and although well maintained, not everything is in perfect order. Guests staying in the little cottage should be aware that there is no closet into which you can unpack your clothes - fine for a short stay, difficult if you are there for over a week.

There are a lot of bugs and insects at the height of summer, including mosquitoes and horse flies that bite. You need to adequately prepare for these. We left several vape machines that the next guests can use, but they will need the vape mats from the Coop.

The main gate is operated by punching a code on the wall - you have to exit your vehicle, which is inconvenient. The gardener has a remote that operates the gate, I can’t imagine why guests are not afforded the same convenience.

Unknown to us the water in the small cottage alongside the house was off. The villa appears to have a complex water system and it was difficult to locate the water setup and figure out its operation in the dark. At the time, this was very irritating.

Guests are told to bring towels for both shower and pool. The house seems to have plenty of towels and we left some of our towels (I guess others have too).

For foreign guests it isn’t easy to arrange for house cleaning with someone who speaks no English. The owner did help make arrangements with a cleaner, however the outdated 'house manual' incorrectly stated we had to perform an exit cleaning. This meant we spent time negotiating an exit cleaning that had already been paid for.

Finally, the property is extremely remote and you should expect to have intermittent and slow internet connectivity and no mobile service. We were unable to locate the pub the owner said was 1 km away. The closest eating establishment we found was 3kms from the villa.

What a charming house in the middle of the Tuscany hills. A beautiful garden and a great swimming pool. We had a perfect vacation.

Nous avons réservé cette maison pour 8 personnes, 4 adultes et 4 enfants. Lorsque nous sommes arrivés, nous avons été éblouis par le parc, c’est magnifique !!! Les arbres, les fleurs, les plantes aromatiques nous avons été impressionnés. La maison est très jolie, la déco intérieure est typique, on s’y sent rapidement comme chez soi. Elle est vraiment grande. Un petit plus pour toutes les attentions, les confitures, les fruits dans les arbres et bien d’autres choses. La piscine, un merveilleux endroit profiter d’une vue splendide tout en se baignant. La région est aussi très intéressante. Nous avons vraiment passer un excellent séjour !!! Les enfants ont adoré. C’est vraiment agréable !!! Merci pour tout.

Un coin de paradis. La situation est extraordinaire, appréciable tant sur le plan culturel que sportif. La villa est agréable, et pleine de charme pour rêvasser. C'est un lieu de vacances idéal pour tous, nous nous y sommes fort plus; les enfants étaient ravis. La grande piscine pour leurs jeux d'eau. Dès la sortie de la propriété, s'ouvre la porte des balades. La Toscane des Alpes apuanes nous a fait découvrir des merveilles. Impressionnant, je recommande ce lieu à tous.

Que du bonheur. Endroit vraiment magique avec une vue magnifique. Le jardin est arboré et fleuri avec un goût exquis. La maison est pleine de charme et le mobilier choisi avec beaucoup de goût.
