Set in the green hills above the Tuscan coast, Antica Poesia is a
peaceful holiday home offering far-reaching views across the plains of
Versilia to Torre del Lago Puccini and, on clear days, even to the sea.
With its homely atmosphere and convenient location, it is the perfect
setting for a relaxing family holiday.
The little village of Montemagno is just a 15-minute walk away and has
a bar, a small grocery store and two restaurants. The town of Camaiore
lies 8 kilometres away and offers a wider range of shops, supermarkets
and restaurants. Torre del Lago Puccini, the birthplace of composer
Giacomo Puccini, is a 25-minute drive away and hosts the famous summer
opera festival at Lake Massaciuccoli. The coastal town of Viareggio is
just 14 kilometres away, and Lucca, Pisa and Florence are all lovely
day trip destinations.
The two-storey villa is built from natural stone and surrounded by
pretty terraced gardens. Various furnished outdoor areas and a covered
outdoor kitchen with fridge, table and chairs provide the perfect
setting for shared meals outside.
Inside, guests will find traditional wooden beamed ceilings, pale
painted walls and sections of exposed stonework that reveal the home’s
original structure. The interiors are rustic and comfortable, with a
warm, welcoming feel. A particular highlight is the old olive press in
the downstairs living area.
The pool is situated on a lower terrace, below the villa. To reach it,
guests cross a quiet country lane and follow a series of steps that
lead down to the pool area.
