Further Details for the house in Lucca Area, Tuscany, Italy

The beautiful peaceful hamlet of Peralta has a spectacular setting in the Tuscan hills that rise steeply above the valley of Camaiore. It was restored over a period of thirty years with great love and imagination by international sculptor Fiore de Henriquez. She has created a place that is quite unique. Today, Fiore lives and works in Peralta and one can see her work all through the hamlet. Her sculpture, and the manner in which she has designed and restored Peralta, give it very special character and atmosphere. Surrounded by terraces of olive groves, and with orange and lemon trees, bougainvilliers, jasmin and others covering the stone wall, Peralta seems like paradise. The panoramic views over the valley to the sea beyond are stunning. It is not, however, a place for people seeking accommodation where everything always works perfectly, but for people seeking tranquillity and beauty.

Peralta can offer 6 self catering accommodations of various sizes. (see properties 1596, 1597, 1598, 2146 and 2147) and also six double bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms (see property 2564). There is a swimming pool on one of the upper terraces, for the use of all guests. There is a large main terrace where it is lovely to sit and enjoy the view and the sunsets and meet other guests. There are great walks through the hills, covered with chestnut trees, including one to a bar/rest. with delicious food (1 hour). Many excellent, inexpensive restaurants are within easy reach by car.

Access: Airports: Pisa 45 mins - Florence 1 hr. Genoa 1 hr.40mins - Bologna 2hrs. From the A11 and A12 motorway exit, Viareggio/Camaiore, you head for 'Viareggio, Lido di Camaiore'. Then for 'Camaiore'. From Camaiore, there is a little road that leaves the valley and winds its way up the hill to Pieve di Camaiore, then to Peralta. (We give detailed directions). Note: The last 200 or so yards of our road are very steep and narrow with 2 hairpin bends. A smallish car is recommended, although an Espace & other large cars can make it!! This last bit of road is unsuitable for nervous drivers. The road comes to an end in our carpark. From there you walk to Peralta itself (about 200 yards/meters) and we can help with luggage (9am to 6pm). . Don't be put off by the last piece of road - Peralta more than merits the effort! And if you are in a very large car, you can always park it below the hairpin bends. Only a short walk up to the carpark.

Golf Information: There are several golf courses in the area. The best known is in Forte dei Marmi (Versilia), about 30 minutes away. It is advised however to make bookings in advance particularly in the summer.
