Situated in northern Tuscany, in the foothills of the Alpi Apuane, above the valley of Camaiore, the beautiful, peaceful, medieval hamlet of Peralta was restored over a period of thirty years with great love and imagination by international sculptor Fiore de Henriquez. She created a place that is quite unique. The panoramic views over the valley to the sea beyond are stunning. Surrounded by terraces of olive groves, and with orange and lemon trees, bougainvilliers, jasmin and others covering the stone walls, Peralta seems like paradise. Fiores sculpture (which can be seen all through the hamlet), and the manner in which she designed and restored Peralta, give it very special character and atmosphere. The hamlet has a total of 17 bedrooms, located in seven houses or apartments, 4 of which are described here. It is possible to rent the entire hamlet - an ideal location for a special occasion - to celebrate a birthday, a reunion of friends or family.

Train Station is Viareggio, on the main line from Genoa to Rome.
Ferry leaves from Livorno (2 hours from Peralta) for Corsica
MOTORWAY is just 20 minutes from Peralta. The A12 Genoa/Livorno and A11 Genoa/Florence. Our exit for both is Viareggio.
Car hire is recommended - preferably a smallish car as access up our hill is very narrow. Please visit our website for description of access.
Distances
Sightseeing: Due to the proximity of the motorways, sightseeing and daytrips are easy. Florence can be reached in an hour, Siena and southern Tuscany take about 2 hours. Cinque Terra is just under an hour and Carrara and the marble quarries a bit less. Lucca is just 22km away (some 35 minutes); The old town of Pisa is well worth visiting and of course the leaning tower and duomo.
There are wonderful drives through the Carrara mountains.
Further details
Peralta seems like paradise. It is wonderful to spend lazy days by the pool or on the terraces, simply enjoying our fabulous views, reading a book, relaxing. We are situated in the foothills of the Alpi Apuane and the walks through these hills, covered with chestnut trees and olive groves, are numerous. The wild flowers in Spring are a true delight. A favourite walk takes just under an hour and follows the contours on the hills to a neighbouring village where one can have a delicious lunch, or simply a drink.
There are many excellent, inexpensive restaurants nearby. One can walk down the hill to a pizzeria where Marco talks English and makes excellent pizzas. If he is not too busy, he will give our guests a lift back up the hill!
Sightseeing is easy from Peralta as we are only about 20 minutes from the motorway, making Florence only an hour away. The lovely walled town of Lucca is a forty minute drive. Northern Tuscany (Versilia) is full of interesting places to visit and we have details at Peralta and can help you plan your trips. The shopping around us is legendary (Lucca, Forte dei Marmi, Florence).
We are lucky to be only 45 minutes from Pisa airport. Ryanair, Easyjet, Thomsonfly and major airlines fly there. Peralta is very accessible and yet feels completely 'away from it all'.
We are ideally situated for the Puccini Opera Festival which takes place at Torre del Lago in July and August. It takes about 35 minutes to drive there.
Peralta, with its various houses (seven self catering units in total) has 17 bedrooms and can sleep up to 32 people. This makes it a wonderful location for a group of people to unite for whatever reason (birthday, wedding, family/friend reunion, business retreat, etc) as everyone can be together but, because of the manner in which Peralta is designed, they can also have their privacy. We can organise meals, transport (minibus or taxis), and generally take the stress out of organising a large gathering of people.
Booking notes
We ask for a deposit of one or two nights, depending on length of booking. Payment in euros via direct transfer to our bank. Please ask for our booking form for details.
Guest comments
"This was a magical hideaway in the Tuscan hills. We had a truly fantastic stay. The panoramic views from the large communal terrace looking over the valley below are to die for - perfect for a drink watching the sun go down over the sea! You can feel the spirit of Fiore, the sculptress who restored the hamlet, everywhere with wonderful sculptures throughout the place, both inside and out.
The bedroom was bright, clean and comfortable. This is a perfect location for visiting the surrounding sights like Pisa and Florence. We also discovered delicious restaurants in the nearby town of Pietrasanta after being recommended by the friendly staff at Peralta.
We would highly recommend this place for anyone who is looking for a place to stay that is different for the usual run of the mill hotel. The atmosphere, the views and the charming staff make this a very special place to stay" (K.C. London)
