About this property

Il Metato : Mediterranean perfumes and colors

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 La Polletta: an enchanting holiday home that offers its guests a short break from life daily.
La Polletta 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 IL METATO 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. The furnishings are simple and comfortable, designed to make guests feel at home. Every detail has been carefully taken care of, trying to guarantee guests 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, La Polletta 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 La Polletta 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.
La Polletta, among the scents 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.

Highly Recommended
The house is absolutely delightful, very comfortable and situated in a lovely location. The terrace, gardens and swimming pool are great. The house is also very well equipped and cosy. Although we sent most of our stay driving round Tuscany perhaps the best day was spent on a sunny day simply enjoying the house, the terrace and the pool. Highly recommended

Urlaubsresort unter den Sternen
Am Anreisetag wurden wir vorsorglich von Stefano über gesperrte Straßen im Ort informiert, sodass wir uns mit der Hauswirtschafterin Signora Vittoria im Dorf treffen konnten. Diese hat uns netterweise an den Sperrungen vorbeigeführt, den Berg rauf zum Ferienhaus. Sehr aufmerksam! Die Strasse den Berg rauf wird immer steiler, enger und abenteuerlicher, bei den Schlaglöchern sollte man schon aufpassen. Oben angekommen erreicht man dann aber ein schönes und großes Grundstück. Man hat seinen eigenen Platz für sich und kann sehr schnell entspannen. Vom Pool aus hat man eine wunderschöne Sicht auf Bergspitzen und die Sterne :) Vittoria kümmert sich sehr fleißig um den Garten, es sieht alles sehr gepflegt aus. Zu Fuß ist die Dorfmitte sehr gut erreichbar, wo man gut für den Alltag einkaufen oder sich zum Essen/Trinken in eine der Lokalitäten setzen kann. Das Ferienhaus bietet alles für einen Urlaub zu zweit und wir wären so gerne viel länger geblieben!

kleine feine Wohnung
Sehr ruhige Umgebung, man konnte gut entspannen. Der Pool ein absolutes Highlight und durch die tägliche Reinigung immer sauber. Die Wohnung war mit allem ausgestattet was man braucht, nur Gewürze waren nicht vorhanden. Leider war das Geschirr von den Vormietern größtenteils fettig, sodass wir alles vor dem ersten Gebrauch spülen mussten. Die Vermieter und Vittoria waren immer erreichbar und haben gerne weitergeholfen. Alles in allem haben wir eine schöne und erholsame Woche gehab.

Bis auf Kleinigkeiten wirklich zu empfehlen
Das Problem mit den Mücken ist nicht zu unterschätzen. Wofür der Vermieter natürlich nicht verantwortlich ist. Mückenschutz an den Fenstern wäre sinnvoll um lüften zu können ohne anschließende Insektenjagd. Wir haben trotzdem sehr gut geschlafen dank Klimaanlage und der Pool und die Lage und Aussicht sind beeindruckend. Wir haben die Ruhe genossen!

About the host

Hosted by Stefano & Margherita Lazzari

Host profile image
Stefano and Margherita are 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 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 fluently English and a good French He has a degree in Industrial design 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 areas. 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 practicly 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 belongs 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 place is owned by the family since 1947) the renovation in the 1970's (but keeping it still very rustic) and turned it in 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, meet at the 11x7 meter salt depured swimming pool with 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 ever lasting 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 join our friends on board the "La Polletta" .
