  To anyone considering a stay at the Hamlet of Peralta, and the Casa Luigi there in particular, I can only say you are in for a completely delightful experience! We were 8 guests in all, plus a baby, and Casa Luigi provided us with all the space and privacy we needed, along with the most perfect patio for relaxing and having all our meals together, overlooking the verdant Tuscan valley. The bouganvilla covered stone buildings, swimming pool overlooking the valley, charming bar, superb Tuscan cuisine offered a few evenings a week, beautiful sculpture at every turn, fireflies and stars at night...it was serenity at its very best! And such friendly people helping us at every turn, from getting bags up the hill, offering advise on local hiking trails, providing for many sundry needs...all these things added up to a relaxing, fun, and wonderful vacation...

  We have stayed in Peralta two times. First time three years ago with a baby girl aged one and a girl aged 12. We lived in La Foresteria, which is a very charming and special house with two terraces. There is a lot of space for one family here. One nice pergola outside the kitchen area, where we had all our meals and one balcony on the first floor with a view we have not found any other place in Tuscany. And we have been in the region seven times. It is just magical and you feel like beiing on the top of the world when you relax and enjoy the sundown while sipping on a glas of rosso. You actually look down at the fireworks in the valley from this balcony! This year we travelled with my brothers family. They have two boys aged 11 and 14. The eleven year old simply said: "this is the most fantastic place I ever have been to,I want to come back thousand of times". All the children fell in love with Peralta, also thanks to the dogs Elly and Frankie, which came to the house every day and played with the children.We stayed in Casa Luigi. The antique house has four big bedrooms, living room, library, three bathrooms and a laundry room. The kitchen is perfectly located on the ground floor and you have an amazing view while you are cooking. The location almost makes it fun to wash the dishes... (there is a dishwasher as well). There is plenty of space in front of the house and we spent every evening on this terrace. We loved Casa Luigi and it is an excellent house for family holidays. We have to mention the svimming pool. It is situated on the top, above the hamlet, and has the most spectacular location I have experienced for any swimming pool. It is not big, but the area and sourroundings makes it unique. If you are seeking a holiday away from it all, but at the same time close to the beaches and towns and sights, this is the place. You will never forget it. Thanks a lot to the staff for great hospitality and Laura who made such wonderful meals for us during our stay.

  Nous avons passé un excellent moment à Peralta. Le site est sublime, calme (pas de voiture), le village escapé, taillé dans la roche. La piscine partagée par les locataires présente une vue sublime sur les champs d'oliviers et la mer en fond de vue. Bref, nous étions deux familles (2 adultes et 2 enfants chacun) et nous avons savouré de délicieux moments entre balades (très bons conseils de Kate et Dinah) et piscine. C'est simplement beau et apaisant. Depuis peu je crois, il y a un accès au wi-fi. Juste un conseil, éviter d'avoir une grosse voiture pour le dernier virage en arrivant ds le village. Evitez l'arrivée de nuit !! On s'y fait je vous rassure...

  Wir verbrachten zwei wunderbare Wochen in Casa Luigi. Die Lage des Ortes ist einzigartig und die Aussicht von der Terrasse und vom Pool ist atemberaubend. Ein äußerst ruhiger und friedlicher Ort, an dem man sich perfekt erholen kann. Wir waren zu acht und hatten mehr als genug Platz für alle. Das Haus ist gut ausgestattet, sehr sauber und die Küche bietet alle erforderlichen Küchenutensilien. Die Städte Lucca und Pisa sind einfach und schnell zu erreichen und in Camaiore kann man sich mit allen notwendigen Lebensmitteln eindecken. Kate und ihre Mitarbeiter sind äußerst hilfsbereit, wenn es darum geht Gepäck oder Einkäufe vom Parkplatz zum Haus zu schaffen, oder ein Abendessen zu organisieren. Tipp: unbedingt die Kochkünste von Laura ausprobieren – es lohnt sich!

  Recommended for: Sightseeing, pet owners, romantic getaway, age 55+.

  This was my fourth visit to Peralta but the first time I have stayed in Casa Luigi, which nestles and seems almost to cling to the hillside. There were only 3 of us this time and we lazily organised for Laura to do all our cooking which was fantastic. We sat, lazed and read or in my case painted the incredible landscape with views out across the sea towards Elba, amidst the smell of lavender, rosemary and sage. We could watch Neil, the resident sculptor, slowly working away at a beautiful Cararra marble statue on the terrace outside the tower, which is such a landmark of Peralta. Further up the hillside above Casa Luigi, surrounding the pool terrace, ancient olive trees bent their twisted forms and provided shade on hotter days. Dinah and Kate were, as always, incredibly welcoming and make us feel more like members of the extended Peralta family than guests. Our trip to the beautiful town of nearby Lucca, where we wandered the traffic free streets, was fruitful and we each returned with a brace of glorious leather handbags as well as having enjoyed a beautiful meal in the Ristorante Puccini. On our last evening we visited Pietra Santa which seemed to glow in a palette of warm terra cotta colours in the June evening sun against the deep clear blue sky reminding us all of the joys of a holiday in Italy and in particular the delights of a stay at Peralta.

  Recommended for: Sightseeing, tourists without a car, girls getaway, pet owners, romantic getaway.

  Nous avons passé un excellent séjour dans ce lieu "magique" qu'est Peralta. La description sur le site est vraiment fidèle à la réalité... Les locations (et tout cas la notre, (grande maison pour 8 personnes) était spacieuse, fonctionnelle et propre en plus d'être pleine de charme... Le site est superbe avec une vue à couper le souffle et des couchers de soleil magnifiques visibles de tous les endroits de Peralta (Je recommande le coucher de soleil sur la piscine en dégustant un bon vin Italien... L'accueil de Kate et Dina est très chaleureux sans être envahissant... et une fois passé les derniers lacets (vraiment impressionnants les premières fois), on savoure pleinement le calme et la beauté des lieux. La petite ville de Camaiore toute proche offre d'excellents commerces alimentaires (il faut gouter absolument les pâtes fraiches dans le centre) et la région propose de nombreuses ballades et visites à réaliser... De plus la mer est assez proche (moins de 25 mn) pour qui aime les plages privées... Une excellente adresse

  Owner response: Merci beaucoup pour votre appreciation de Peralta, et surtout Casa Luigi. Le fait que Peralta etait restaure par une artiste (sculpteur) donne une charme tres speciale a des lieux, et puis biensur la site elle-meme est magnifique avec les vues, le calme, les oliviers ..........
