Antica Poesia, Camaiore - Lucca and Viareggio
Located in the hills above Viareggio and Lucca, Antica Poesia is a particularly savvy choice if you’re planning to attend the annual Puccini Festival at the open-air theatre in Torre del Lago or outings to the Renaissance-era walled city and the coast. Activities ranging from wine and olive oil-tasting to horse riding and golf are also available nearby. The property was formerly an olive press and has been transformed into a characterful two-storey Tuscan villa that will provide a very comfortable base for a family of four or two couples. Set among a small cluster of houses, the friendly owner lives in the adjoining villa and is happy to help where required.
With two furnished terraces, walled and open gardens, an outdoor kitchen, and a pool with outstanding views of the surrounding olive groves and the sea, you could be forgiven for not venturing too far though.
Inside, the inviting interiors incorporate some of the original machinery used in the olive press and include good-sized bedrooms and cosy nooks in which to sit and catch up on that book you haven’t had time to read.

Villa location
Guest reviews: Antica Poesia
Portishead, United Kingdom
We have mixed reviews about the villa. The villa itself was cute, quaint and very clean. However, there were very few basics provided – no dishwasher tablets, washing-up liquid, or even enough toilet paper (just two rolls for a family of four for a week).
The DVD was broken so I’m not sure why it hadn’t been removed and the TV had only one working English channel.
The biggest let-down was the pool. A week before we flew, we were told it had been replaced due to damage and dismantling of the original pool, but the “replacement” was small and situated across the road and through a gate. This was not made clear when we booked and was a real disappointment.
The location is described as a 10-minute walk to the village, but it’s actually a steep climb not an easy stroll, and in reality you need a car to go anywhere. The beds in the villa were hard, making it difficult to get a decent night’s sleep.
On the positive side, the view from the pool was lovely, and the villa is well-situated for visiting Lucca and Pisa, both of which are beautiful and worth seeing
We hebben genoten van de restaurants dichtbij de accomodaties. Zowel bij Da Franco als bij Le Meraviglie. Ook kunnen we iedereen aanraden om te genieten van de kookkunsten van de gastheer en -vrouw!! Een absoluut authentieke Italiaanse ervaring. We hebben er van genoten!
