Magical Christmas at Casa Teresa
We had the most magnificent stay over Christmas and New Years at Casa Teresa. The villa exceeded our expectations with it’s beautiful interior and furnishings, a cook’s kitchen, immaculate grounds and spectacular views across the valley. The villa’s heated flooring was a treat too, especially in winter. Our days were spent lounging in the sun in the stunning gardens, reading books by the fire, hiking from the villa, drinking lots of local wine, eating at wonderful family-run restaurants, day tripping to Lucca, Cinque Terre and the very sweet neighbouring villages.
The village itself, Pieve di Camaiore, is very charming and friendly. It’s also home to the best pizza we had over our month long Italian trip. Winter was a magical time to visit. The local villages are festive and almost tourist free. It made for a well-balanced trip, being both relaxing and adventurous.
New Years Eve at the villa was a highlight! Perched at the top of the hill, we had the best outlook to watch the entire valley light up with fireworks for almost an hour.
Now to the hosts, Astrid and Peter, thank you for making our stay so wonderful, from adding Christmas touches throughout the villa, wine on arrival, letting off fireworks with us on New Years Eve to very kindly taking us on a hike with the poodles. It was these extra touches and genuine kindness that made our trip even more special.
Casa Teresa is a real gem. We very much felt at home here and would love to visit again.
