Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Seth Marks
La Marginella was brought back to life by Giovanni Cavalzani — a man who had lived, in every sense, a European life before choosing to come home to Tuscany.
Born in the neighbouring village of Collodi — the village of Pinocchio — Giovanni spent decades living across the continent: Paris, London, Rome, Heidelberg, Munich. For many years he ran one of Germany’s most celebrated Italian restaurants, the legendary Ristorante Savoy in Munich.
Fluent in four languages and at ease in any city in Europe, he had the kind of life that most people only read about. At a certain point, he found himself drawn back — to this hillside, these olive trees, this particular quality of afternoon light.
Some places, it turns out, you cannot leave forever.
He brought with him a lifetime’s understanding of hospitality and the perspective of someone who has seen the world and knew exactly what he was choosing instead. For extended stays, Giovanni is less a host than a neighbour who happens to know everything — the best Wednesday-morning trail, the trattoria in Pescia that the locals actually use, when the olives are ready.
Giovanni stewards the estate with reverence for what it has always been, and dedication to the organic farming practices that earned its olive oil the highest Italian certifications: Biologico (certified organic) and IGP — Indicazione Geografica Protetta.
It was not, in the end, a business decision. It was a homecoming. Living here for one to five months, you will understand why.

Why they chose this property
La Marginella sits in the hills above Pescia in the landscape locals have long called the Svizzera Pesciatina — the Pescia Switzerland. In the 19th century, the Genevan intellectual Sismondi compared these mountains to his Alpine homeland. He was the first outsider to name what locals had always known: this corner of Tuscany is quietly extraordinary, and almost completely overlooked.
This matters for a long stay. A week in Chianti or Val d’Orcia can be magnificent; a month there, surrounded by tourists, is a different experience. The Svizzera Pesciatina has all the infrastructure of a properly inhabited Tuscan town — supermarkets, hospital, pharmacies, weekly market, restaurants — without the flocks of tourists that follow the more famous names. After two weeks you stop being a visitor and start simply being someone who lives here.
For remote workers, this is the point. You are not working from a holiday destination. You are working from a place with the rhythm of actual Italian life — quieter, more purposeful, and considerably more beautiful than most offices.
Everything practical is close. Pescia is 4 km — supermarkets, pharmacies, a hospital, weekly market, banks, restaurants. The spa towns of Montecatini Terme and the Grotta Giusti thermal cave at Monsummano Terme become standing weekly rituals. Lucca’s Christmas market is a weekday evening out in December. Florence under an hour. Monte a Pescia village is three minutes on foot from the gate.

What makes this property unique
La Stalla offers something genuinely hard to find: an original working stone fireplace in a room whose walls have stood for three centuries, underfloor heating underfoot, and a wood-fired jacuzzi inside an ancient olive grove — all in a corner of Tuscany most visitors never reach, available for one to five months in the winter season most properties simply close for.
The fireplace and the jacuzzi together tell the story of the estate. Two sources of heat, both requiring a ritual to use, both in a landscape of extraordinary beauty. The warmth of stone and history inside; the warmth of a hillside sky above ancient trees outside. Firewood is completely free throughout.
At €2,190/month all-inclusive — rental, all utilities, firewood, WiFi — La Stalla is one of the most compelling private winter rentals available in Tuscany. The outdoor gym, cold plunge, on-site laundry and EV charger add the practical infrastructure a month-long stay actually requires.
La Stalla is for people who want the real thing — stone, fire, olive oil, silence, and a winter in Tuscany that the guidebooks haven’t found yet.
