Locanda al Colle CAMAIORE, ITALY
Locanda al Colle is a beautifully restored ancient farmhouse in one of Tuscany’s most iconic locations, Camaiore. It offers a luxurious retreat as an art-filled boutique hotel, complete with charm and elegance. The property overlooks the rolling Camaiore hills and the Versilia coastline. Nature comes first here, and guests are encouraged to find their own peaceful sanctuary within the grounds. The uniquely designed rooms have a natural
colour palette of pale, earthy tones. They’re adorned with vintage and art deco furnishings, creating an artistic and contemporary space. Each room contains locally crafted sculptures and an extensive art collection, juxtaposing time, colour and texture. They each have a personal outdoor area, providing a serene space to relax after a busy day of exploring. The hotel’s private chef is on hand to craft
breakfasts made from homemade delicacies, lunches and exquisite dinners. There are also cooking classes, where chef Gian Luca reveals the secrets and art of making authentic Tuscan recipes.
Guests can lounge by the open-air saltwater pool,
surrounded by fragrant gardens filled with olive groves, lavender and rosemary. Alternatively, they can discover sights such as the pure white Carrara marble quarries, used since Roman times for renowned sculptures such as Michelangelo’s David. Another must-do experience is exploring the local wineries in the abundant ‘Colline Lucchesi’, which translates to the ‘hills of Lucca’. Here, visitors can sample fragrant Vermentino to rich Sangiovese and extra virgin olive oil, sure to tantalise taste buds. Locanda has a strong emphasis on sustainability,
with eco-friendly practices at its core. Initiatives include using solar panels for water heating, waste and rainwater purification for irrigation and electric car charging stations for guests’ use. During the summer months, Locanda
collaborates with the nearby beach club ‘Bagno Chimera’. The club boasts two rows of exclusive tents by the ocean where guests can sunbathe. It also has exceptional amenities, including a restaurant and massage rooms. This is the perfect place to soak up the warm Tuscan sun.
