Set on the crown of a small hill and surrounded by pine woods and beautiful gardens, Villa Zacconi overlooks the Camaiore Valley with a medieval village in the foreground and the Apuan Alps as a backdrop. The villa dates from the early 1900s and was built as a country retreat for Ermete Zacconi, one of the leading lights of the Italian stage and a contemporary of Eleanora Duse. Still owned by the same family, the villa has recently been meticulously renovated and now offers all the modern conveniences while retaining its unique charm. Designed on a scale that one seldom finds in modern times, the villa features large, airy rooms and hallways decorated in an Art Deco style with the careful addition of comfortable contemporary pieces. The gardens, which include a salt-water swimming pool set at the edge of the woods, are a haven of peace and tranquility with sitting and dining areas clustered under canvas and wooden pergolas. The Villa Zacconi is opening its doors for the first time to those seeking an inspiring and restful environment in this beautiful corner of Tuscany.
