About this property

Amongst Mediterranean perfumes and colors W/pool, garden, private parking

At the edge of splendid Tuscany, almost on the border with Liguria, a few steps from the sea and the Apennine mountains, surrounded by lush nature, lies THE HUNTING LODGE an enchanting holiday home that offers its guests a short break from daily rourines.
THE HUNTING LODGE can sleep up to 9 guests is an oasis of tranquility immersed in a paradise of Mediterranean scents and colours. Located between Lucca and Pisa, two cities rich in history and culture, this holiday home is the ideal place to relax and enjoy the wonders that Tuscany has to offer.
As soon as you cross the threshold, you are greeted by a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The interiors of THE HUNTING LODGE are furnished with care and taste, drawing inspiration from local colors and traditions. The walls recall the surrounding nature: outside, centuries-old olive trees, lemons and citrus fruits, colorful flowers that give vitality and joy to the spaces.
The rooms are spacious and bright, each with its own private sink. The furnishings are simple and comfortable, designed to make guests feel at home but away from it. Every detail has been carefully taken care of, to guarantee an unforgettable experience.
Tuscan cuisine is a true culinary treasure. Here, the traditional flavors of local cuisine mix with fresh, quality ingredients, coming directly from local gardens. Many dishes are prepared with love and passion, following recipes handed down for generations. Guests can enjoy specialties in the village such as Tordelli, Torta di Pizzi, Cecina and much more, accompanied by local wines yet to be discovered by the masses such as Lucca's red Montecarlo or Luni's white Vermentino.
Outside THE HUNTING LODGE is surrounded by a lush garden. The olive, citrus, pine and cypress plants typical of the Tuscan landscape create an atmosphere of peace and relaxation. It is the ideal place to spend pleasant moments in the shade of centuries-old trees, stroll among the scents of flowers and perhaps even enjoy a romantic candlelit dinner on the terrace.
The strategic position of THE HUNTING LODGE allows you to easily reach numerous places of interest nearby. Both art and culture lovers, as well as excursions and water sports enthusiasts will find a wide choice of activities to do here. The sandy beaches of Viareggio, Marina di Pietrasanta or Lido di Camaiore and the ancient wonders of Lucca and Pisa are just a few kilometers away.
THE HUNTING LODGE, amongst perfumess and colors of the Mediterranean, is much more than a simple holiday home: it is a complete experience that embraces body, mind and soul. Here, the warmth of Tuscan hospitality combines with the beauty of nature, creating a unique and magical environment in which to relax and regenerate.

La vita è bella in Villa La Polletta!

What a lovely, charming and very well equipped villa to spend our 3 weeks family summerholiday! We have been visiting this region for many years now, but never found a house that has it all. Villa La Poletta does have it all: a magnificent view, a lovely big terrace with a big table, a garden with an orange tree, large and cool bedrooms, a beautiful (shared) pool, a kitchen with everything you need if you really like cooking, a 10-minute walk to Camaiore for an espresso in the morning, a shady spot under the old tree for evening drinks. And last but not least Vittoria to welcome and support you with all you need around the house. Thank you Stefano and Margherita, we will definitely return!

Das Jagdhaus bei Camaiore

Idylisch gelegenes altes Gutshaus mit schöner Terrasse und großem Swimmingpool. Das Haus ist geschmackvoll und gut eingerichtet und sauber. In der Küche ist alles vorhanden was man für die Selbstversorgung benötigt. Wir hatten leider sehr viele Mücken aber daran hat das Haus keine Schuld. Es war ein schöner Urlaub für zwei Familien.

Wunderbarer Urlaub in einer Traumanlage

Für eine 9 köpfige Familie (3 Generationen) war das Raumangebot ideal. Einrichtung und Ausstattung waren sehr gut. Sehr geplegt. Die große Terrasse läd zum Essen in traumhafter Kulisse ein , und der Pool ist ein echtes Highlight. Wir haben uns in diesem echten Italien feeling pudelwohl gefühlt und bestens erholt. Selbst die z.T. herausfordernde Zufahrt haben wir immer schadlos überstanden. 100 % Weiterempfehlung

Peace and beauty in the Camaiore hills

This lovely home could not be better situated for a northern Tuscan vacation. It is close to Pisa, Lucca, Pietrasanta, the beautiful Ligurian Sea, as well as the Cinque Terre and the jaw dropping marble quarry of Carrara . The town of Camaiore is a bustling surprise, full of terrific restaurants and cute shops. This home is a winner of a vacation spot with the best pool ever, and the location provides a beautiful balance of peace and excitement. Enjoy!!

Charming and relaxing house

We had a great week at the villa Polletta. Would definitely recommend it for families with a car. Beautiful view and sunsets, clean house with everything we needed, nice pool. We visited around by car (40 min. to Pisa & Lucca, 20 min. to the beach, 30 min. to wineries).

Acient manor with amzing views and wonderful aromas

The best aspect of this property was the terrace with its views of the Tuscan hillsides. We enjoyed all of our home meals there as the weather was perfect and sunny. The pool wasn't expected to be available according to the dates listed but we were pleasantly surprised that it was ready and the weather was willing to allow us to enjoy that amenity. The pool initially needed some cleaning but Vitorria was immediately available and cleaned it promptly for our enjoyment. The kitchen was very small and offered most of what was needed to cook and to store any leftovers. Beautiful wine glasses were available and appreciated. The kitchen could use sharp knives and/or a knife sharpener. The dishwasher was a great help. The washing machine was available but took over two hours to run a load so plan ahead. No available dryer as is typical for Italy but clothes spun almost dry and the terrace offered sun and breeze to dry them by the next day. The aromas of the jasmine in the yard in May was lovely. The drive up the road leading to the property is intimidating the first time as the width of the road allows one vehicle with little to no space on the sides. The bedrooms were spacious and the availability of extra sinks is helpful when hosting a large group. The bedroom cabinets rattled with every footstep which was disturbing. The sheets were uncomfortably rough.

Idyll mit tollem Blick

Wir haben den Aufenthalt genossen. Wanderungen in die Umgebung, Ausflüge in umliegende Städte. Durch die erhabene Lage gibt’s einen Blick bis ans Meer. Das Haus ist authentisch, hübsch und alt. Abendliche Geräusche (überhaupt nicht störend) kamen von Siebenschläfern.

Charmantes Haus in toller Lage

Wir (zwei Familien mit Kindern zwischen 1 und 10) hatten den Aufenthalt in diesem Haus sehr genossen! Es ist noch schöner als auf den Bildern und die Lage war für uns perfekt. Im Herbst konnten wir auf der Terrasse noch die letzten Sonnenstrahlen geniessen und waren in der Corona-Zeit einerseits abseits des Trubels, andererseits auch schnell am Meer oder in den schönen Städten der Umgebung (Lucca oder Pisa). Das Haus war aussergewöhnlich sauber und wir haben uns von Anfang an sehr wohl gefühlt. Auch die Kommunikation mit den Vermietern verlief immer sehr unkompliziert. Wir kommen gerne wieder!

Wunderbares Ferienhaus mit tollem Ausblick

Charmantes Ferienhaus in dem wir uns sehr wohl gefühlt haben. Die große Terrasse mit Blick über Camaiore bis zum Meer ist fantastisch. Die Küche ist sehr gut ausgestattet und Geschirr und Besteck sind reichlich vorhanden. Schöner und relativ großer Pool, den man sich mit den anderen Gästen teilt. Die Vermieter und die Kontaktperson vor Ort sind sehr freundlich und versorgen einen mit vielen Informationen (Einkaufsmöglichkeiten, Restaurants, Ausflugsmöglichkeiten etc.). Camaiore ist zu Fuß in 15 min zu erreichen. Zurück etwas länger, da es teilweise doch recht steil bergauf geht. Insgesamt sehr zu empfehlen!

Prachtig gelegen vakantievilla

Het nauwe, steile slingerpad omhoog doet een groot beroep op de rijvaardigheid en koelbloedigheid van de chauffeur, zeker als je een uit de kluiten gewassen SUV rijdt. Maar eenmaal boven, heten de krekels je welkom met een juichend luid concert. Het okergele huis met groene luiken geflankeerd door een indrukwekkende pijnboom, het terras met het schilderachtige uitzicht op de vallei waarin het plaatsje Camaiore zich uitstrekt, de Apuaanse Alpen die het huis omringen en zich scherp aftekenen tegen de azuurblauwe lucht: het is een feest om hier je vakantie te vieren. Het lager gelegen zwembad deel je met de bezoekers van diverse andere appartementen, gehuisvest in de rode huizen, rechts van het gele herenhuis. De kans is dus groot dat je niet alleen bent, maar je hoeft geen last van elkaar te hebben. Hoe dan ook, wij hebben er een geweldige tijd gehad. Het hoogtepunt werd gevormd door een zelf gegrilde ‘Bistecca alla Fiorentina’ op de eenvoudige en bijna weggeroeste BBQ met een heerlijk glas Brunello di Montalcino. Dolce far niente en verder niets.

Erholung und Idylle pur zwischen Zitronen und Oliven

Wir verbrachten zu acht eine wunderbare Woche im Manor House. Mit vier Schlafzimmern und zwei voll ausgestatteten Bädern ist dieses Haus ausgezeichnet für einen Urlaub mit Freunden (so wie wir, zwei Familien mit je zwei Kindern) oder der großen Familie geeignet. Ich habe besonders die rustikale top ausgestattete Küche geliebt. Es hat Spaß gemacht am Kochplatz mit Marmorplatte "Spagetti a la Mama" zu kochen. Der kleine Kräutergarten und die Zitronenbäume liefern auch mal die ein oder andere Zutat. Die sehr geräumige Terrasse bietet alles für gemütliche Tage und Abende in der großen Runde. Und das bei einem Traumblick auf Natur die Stadt im Tal und das Mittelmeer in der Ferne. Der moderne große Pool sorgt für die oft nötige Abkühlung. Die Haushälterin sorgt täglich für einen aufgeräumten Gesamteindruck und bleibt doch fast unsichtbar dabei. Die Umgebung mutet sehr ursprünglich an und bietet viele Möglichkeiten die Toskana kennen zu lernen. Camaiore ist eine hübsche kleine Stadt mit ausgezeichneten Läden für italienische Spezialitäten. Wir würden gern ein zweites Mal Urlaub im Manor House machen.

House in Camaiore

This beautiful house is located at the end of a small road on a hill. The house has four very large, and more importantly, very wonderful bedrooms, with beautiful colors. Upstairs there is a large bathroom with a toilet and a bath/shower. In addition, there is a separate toilet and downstairs there is another bathroom with toilet and a washing machine. The kitchen is very luxourious and it contains all the necessary equipment. The dining room as well as the living room are both very cosy, and there are plenty of books and even a television with digital signal. However, due to the lovely weather, we have not used the dining room and the living room. We had diner on the large terrace every day, and we used the barbecue a lot. The view from the terrace is really magnificent; one looks down on the town Camaiore and the sea. After a long and hot day on the beach, one can also have a lovely cold shower outside. On top of that, there is free Wi-Fi in the house. The surroundings of Camaiore are very beautiful. We also visited quite some cities and towns, like Pietrasanta, Forte dei Marmi, Lucca, Pisa and we went to the amazing city Firenze (Florence) by train, respectively. The beach can be reached by car in about twenty minutes. We can strongly recommend you this house if you are looking for a cosy place to stay during your holidays. This area definitely gives a good representation of the real Italy and the real Italian people.

une vraie maison de famille !

Nous étions 2 familles (4 adultes et 4 ados) dans la maison jaune (82292): nous voulions avoir de l'espace pour avoir chacun son indépendance et visiter cette région. c'est une vraie demeure de caractère avec une vue magnifique depuis la terrasse (principale "pièce à vivre" en Italie!) La maison est très agréable à vivre avec ses chambres spacieuses ayant chacune son lavabo et son ventilateur ( tout à fait suffisant d'ailleurs pour dormir paisiblement ... pensez quand même à prendre un tue-moustique électrique !) la cuisine et la salle à manger sont superbement équipées ( vaisselles suffisantes sans avoir à faire tourner en permanence le lave vaisselle, plusieurs robots ...) ce qui est bien rare dans une location! Pour arriver dans ce lieu a flanc de colline, il faut monter! j'ai lu des appréciations sur la route plus qu'étroite avant de partir, alors, oui, c'est étroit mais rien de téméraire toutefois !! et la location mérite le détour ! Pour les baignades, la plage gratuite se situe à 20 mn en voiture (au sud d Viareggio; juste après les constructions navales); rien d'exceptionnel mais bien agréable d'y piquer une tête après une journée de visite ! sinon, pour plus de confort, il faut payer les "bagnis",plus direct de la location. Question visites, nous avons fait Lucca, Pise, les 5 terres (en prenant le bateau de Lerici impérativement, la Spezia est un gros port pas terrible et les 5 terres sont belles en arrivant par la mer!). Rien à dire, on en prend plein la vue de marbre blanc à Pise (d'ailleurs, vous pouvez aussi monter dans la montagne voir les carrières de marbre derrière Carrara) Lucca mérite également une visite pour ses ruelles et ses palais et nombreuses églises. Quant à l'accueil de Victoria, la gouvernante, et de Stéfano, le propriétaire, il fut parfait ! (penser à imprimer la documentation que Stéfano nous envoie par mail sur les environs qui est vraiment bien pratique !).

la villa gialla

.La maison spacieuse ,confortable et propre ., les chambres sont très grandes avec de bonnes literies .Il existe une 2è petite salle de bains au rdc qui comprend un wc et une douche. La terrasse est très grande avec une belle vue sur l'environnement..L'accueil de la charmante gouvernante, Vittoria, est très cordial,celle - ci s'est montré très soucieuse de notre confort . La seule chose qui étonne à l'arrivée concerne le cheminement d'accès depuis le village car il s'agit d'une petite route très étroite qui sinue en montant; il faut faire preuve de facilité de manoeuvre lorsque l'on croise d'autres véhicules mais cette route est peu fréquentée et l'on prend vite l'habitude .De plus les utilisateurs de cette voirie se montre très accomodant et nous facilite le passage. La villa jaune possède son propre parking ( pour au moins 3 voitures) dont l'accès est privatif, il y a un portail automatisé en contre-bas qui clos la propriété. Le bourg de Camaiore est très proche et l'on peut y descendre à pieds rapidement.Le centre piéton est très animé, typique d'une ville italienne.Je recommande entre autres la gelateria " mondo goloso" qui produit des glaces absolument fameuses! Concernant les plages, celles du lido et de Viareggio étant très fréquentées, je conseille de parcourir environ 25 kms ( très rapidement par la 4 voie direction Pise, au - delà de Torre del lago) pour se rendre à la très belle plage libre de la marina di vecchiano, parking payant comme partout, mais beaucoup d'espace et très agréable . Pour conclure, je dirai que nous avons passé un exellent séjour dans la villa et je recommande cette location.

About the host

Hosted by Stefano Lazzari

Host profile image
Stefano and Margherita have been happily married since 1981 and have two now grown up children, Livio who is a journalist working in Modena and Maria Francesca a painting restorer with a workshop in Parma.
Stefano, whose father worked as a manager for Alitalia, has lived in Kenya, South Africa, Egypt, England and for 15 years in Rome. He speaks fluent English and a good French. He has a degree in Industrial design and worked for Macy's buying office in Florence, a major Italian houseware glass factory in Fidenza, and a packaging industry in Parma. He also designed, patented and commercialized a cleaning up manual tool for gardens, communities, or large surfaced shops. He now likes to take photographs. Margherita, who studied literature and philosophy, loves reading. We live in Quattro Castella (a very small town between Parma and Reggio Emilia)
in Emilia Romagna where we rent out another house (VRBO reference number 402746) That is why we are very seldomly in Camaiore during the summer
as we try to rent out as much as possible to cope with the high property and revenue taxes.
Mrs Vittoria the housekeeper will welcome you and show you around the property. She is practically every day on the property although she does not live on it. We are at any time at your complete disposal by telephone or by the Internet.

Why they chose this property

This property has belonged to Margherita's family since 1947 and she inherited it from her aunt Ludovica in 2000.

What makes this property unique

La Polletta was once a farm. Margherita' aunt started the renovation in the 1970's (but keeping it still very rustic) and turned it into a now  group of 6 apartments : the Manor, the Farmhouse, the Olive mill, the barn, the Chestnut storage house (Il Metato) and the steward's apartment.
It is a place where friends and families can meet again and again during the cool spring days or the hot summer holidays, share out-door candle light dinners or an "aperitivo" on the houses terraces, and meet at the 11x7 meter salt-depured swimming pool with a stunning view.
A place where the children can safely play in the surrounding two acre terraced gated and partially fenced garden. Where children can meet again their friends from last year's holiday, and year after year grow up together, feel at home and start an everlasting friendship. It is a place for families that want to share friendship.
A place off the beaten track, encircled by silent nature, even if it is just  a mile away from the town's center (Camaiore has just about 10,000 inhabitants), but nevertheless with many things to do to enrich the holiday experience such as: Trekking in the mountains, swimming in the rivers or in the Mediterrenean (just 6 kilometers away), exploring one of Europes most attractive cave, visiting places of interest nearby such as Pisa, Lucca or Pietrasanta (30 minutes), Florence (1 hour) or have a taste of the very good local cuisine.
A place to rest your mind in, and even if it's not Eden, finally stop the everlasting research for new places and stop feeling an eternal rover going through some good some bad some extremelly bad holiday experiences.
We have met, since 2010 (before we lose count of ), 1325 new friends here at La Polletta who spent a total of 3088 nights and in the meanwhile gained a medium 4,5 star rating for our houses and a badge of premium partner as a tenant.
We are ready to welcome you and join our friends on board the "La Polletta" experience. Are you?
