DESCRIPTION
A place to live at your own rhythm, between the Apuan Alps and the Tuscan sea.
This independent 60 sqm wooden house is set within our large green property in the hills of Montemagno di Camaiore, surrounded by nature, silence and open views towards the coast.
It is a place for people looking for something different from a city apartment: a comfortable private home where you can work remotely, study, create, rest or simply experience everyday life in Tuscany for a few weeks or several months.
THE HOUSE
The wooden house is completely independent and has everything you need for everyday living.
The interior is a spacious 60 sqm open-plan area with a double bed and a double sofa bed. The sleeping area can be visually separated from the living space with a curtain whenever more privacy is desired.
There is a fully equipped private kitchen, a private bathroom and a comfortable living area. The house can accommodate up to four guests, although it is particularly spacious and comfortable for one person or a couple staying for a longer period.
Wi-Fi is available, and bed linen and towels are provided. The house has air conditioning and heating, including a wood-burning stove for colder days.
Private outdoor parking is available on the property.
Open the door in the morning and you are immediately surrounded by greenery. You can have breakfast outside, work quietly during the day, read in the garden or simply enjoy having space around you.
SPACE, SILENCE AND PRIVACY
One of the things we value most about this place is the sense of space.
We live in the main house, while the property also includes the wooden house, a glass house and a small tree house. The different accommodations are positioned separately within the property and surrounded by greenery, so each retains its own character and privacy.
There are very few neighbouring houses in the immediate surroundings, and outside the summer season the area is particularly peaceful.
Although we live on the same property and are available if you need us, you are not staying “with us”. The wooden house is your own home during your stay, and your privacy is fully respected.
There is no expectation to socialise, participate in activities or become involved in our everyday life.
You can close your door, work, cook, read, explore Tuscany and spend your time entirely on your own if that is what you are looking for.
Or, if you are curious, there is another side of the place to discover.
ART, NATURE AND CREATIVITY
We are a couple who have gradually created this place around our own lives, interests and work.
I am a sculptor and my marble and ceramic sculpture studio is here on the property. My wife works with medicinal plants, meditation and personal exploration.
Around the houses grow aromatic and medicinal plants, flowers, fruit trees and a small vegetable garden. The land changes throughout the year and, depending on the season, offers herbs, fruit and vegetables that are part of our everyday life.
Art, books and music are also naturally present here. There is a piano and a selection of musical instruments that guests can use with care and upon request.
If you are interested in sculpture, you are welcome to discover the studio and, when possible and arranged with us, even try working with stone yourself. You do not need any previous experience.
These are not organised activities that come with your stay and there is absolutely no expectation that you take part in them. They are simply possibilities that exist around you.
Some people may enjoy discovering the plants, playing music, visiting the sculpture studio or sharing a conversation with us. Others may prefer to spend an entire month quietly working and enjoying their own space.
Both are equally welcome.
THE GARDEN AND SWIMMING POOL
The property is surrounded by garden, trees and natural outdoor spaces that guests can enjoy throughout the year.
During the warmer months, life naturally moves outside. You can work or read outdoors, have a meal in the garden or simply enjoy the landscape.
The swimming pool, situated at the heart of the property, is seasonal and available during its opening period. When it is open, guests can enjoy the pool as part of their stay.
During winter the pool is closed, but the garden, countryside and outdoor spaces remain available.
BETWEEN THE MOUNTAINS AND THE SEA
Montemagno di Camaiore is in a special position between the Apuan Alps, the Tuscan countryside and the Versilia coast.
Behind the property rise the Apuan Alps, with extraordinary landscapes, mountain villages and beautiful hiking and trekking routes.
In front of us, the landscape opens towards the coast and Lake Massaciuccoli, also known as Lake Puccini, and on clear days you can see the island of Gorgona on the horizon. A sea breeze often reaches the hill, particularly during the warmer months.
Camaiore is the nearest town for everyday services.
Pietrasanta, famous internationally for sculpture, marble and contemporary art, is within easy reach, as are Viareggio and the beaches of the Versilia coast.
Lucca, with its historic centre and Renaissance walls, is an easy destination for a day out, while further north the marble landscape of Carrara and the Apuan quarries offers one of the most distinctive experiences of this part of Tuscany.
The location allows you to spend one day by the sea, another walking in the mountains, another discovering Tuscan towns – and then return home to silence and nature.
GETTING AROUND
Public transport connections are available in the area, but we prefer to be completely transparent: having a car is strongly recommended.
This is a countryside home rather than an urban apartment. A car gives you much greater freedom for shopping, reaching the coast and surrounding towns, exploring the mountains and making the most of this part of Tuscany.
Private outdoor parking is available directly on the property.
MAKE THE PLACE YOUR OWN
Over the years we have welcomed students, artists, friends and people from different countries and backgrounds. Some came here to create, some to study or work, and others simply needed somewhere beautiful and peaceful to live for a while.
You don't need to be an artist. You don't need to meditate. You don't need to know anything about medicinal plants, play an instrument or be interested in sculpture.
You can do all of those things – or none of them.
You can swim when the pool is open, play the piano, discover the garden, try sculpture, walk in the mountains, go to the sea and meet us when you feel like it.
Or you can close the door of your wooden house, make yourself a coffee, work for the day, cook dinner and enjoy being completely on your own in the Tuscan hills.
For us, both ways of living here are perfect.
We don't want to offer a hotel or a conventional tourist experience. We simply want to share a place we love – a home between art, nature, the mountains and the sea, where you have the freedom to make your time your own.

Frequently asked questions for this offer
What happens after I make a reservation?
Once you send a reservation request, the landlord is notified that you are interested in their offer. From that moment, they have 24 hours to approve or reject your reservation.
Landlords are mainly interested in the profile of their tenant. Do not forget to fill in all necessary information, add your profile picture, or even make a short video about yourself. Doing that will make you more attractive for the owner and your reservation will more likely get approved.
What is the standard furnishing of flats?
All the apartments on offer on Flatio must meet certain standards. We require fully furnished and equipped ones, dishes, cutlery and internet connection included.
What is a medium-term rent?
The duration of a medium-term rent is usually 1 to 12 months. Most of the landlords offer long-term rents or rents for just a few days, therefore getting a medium-term rent without Flatio is not that easy.
Can I go through the contract before I make a reservation of the housing?
You can take a look at the contract in advance and online with every offer. After you sign it, you will find it in the application My Housing.
While arranging a contract on Flatio, you do not have to worry that it could be disadvantageous for you. Our contracts are made so that we avoid all problems! All of them are the same, used by all the landlords on Flatio.
Can I see my chosen accommodation in person before I sign the lease agreement?
Your time is precious. That's why we've added a virtual tour option to our platform so you can see some of the rentals listed on Flatio from the comfort of your own home.
If a virtual tour isn't available for the accommodation you've chosen, you can contact the landlord and ask them if they're willing to give you a personal tour of the rental unit.
If you move in and find that the rented accommodation doesn't match the information on Flatio at the time the reservation request was sent to the landlord, you can withdraw from the lease agreement under certain circumstances explained in this article in our help center.
Also, under our "secure move-in" policy, we'll assist you with moving to an alternative accommodation if you report within a certain period of time that the rental unit doesn't match the ad and the landlord doesn't fix the problem immediately. You can read the details in our help center.
How can I pay?
On Flatio, you have a variety of payment methods to choose from. You can use your card, payment gateway or bank transfer. Just pick the one which suits you the most.
How can I cancel my reservation?
How you can cancel a reservation varies depending on what stage the reservation is in.
Is your reservation request still waiting for landlord approval? Then you can simply cancel it directly from your My Housing web app!
However, suppose the owner has already approved your reservation request, and you are no longer interested in it. In that case, you can still cancel the reservation before you sign the lease agreement. Just consider that you should do this only in essential cases. Because when the landlord accepts your reservation, their property is stopped being advertised, and they can lose the chance to rent their property to someone else.
Do you have an approved reservation and also a valid agreement? In order to cancel your reservation, contact Flatio customer support well in advance of your contract beginning (the specific time and amount of refund depends on the type of cancelation policy).
