“If you want to recharge thet’s the place to be!”

The location is amazing, in the middle of a forest. Perfect if you are looking for recharging and relax. Everything is very well curated and lovely selected. Lucia is a perfect host!

“Overpriced and lack of hygiene and comfort”

During the stay the host was discrete and let the hosts use the accommodation without overly controlling, which made it pleasant as an impression.

“Wonderful place, with amazing taste, great sleep and helpful advices.”

The place, the decoration, the breakfast… everything were carefully selected with fine taste. The room offered space, intimacy and great features, such as a small second room with single bed, big shower and even vintage bath inside the main room! Lucia has been wonderful with us, giving us good advices for local discoveries which has been really helpful to have a magnificent stay in her place surrounded by nature.

“We came for the uniquely designed room and the location yet walked away totally enchanted by the hostess, her elegant pr”

The property sits privately on acres of land, atop of a hill, populated with trees and birds and all the elements that makes you feel like you’re deep in the woods, yet only a 5min drive to Sarzana town center. Sarzana has an amazingly lively town center bursting with artistic and tasteful businesses, theatres, restaurants and bars, all tucked between medieval streets. The house was impeccably restored by the owner over several years, to transform a very old hunting lodge into this timeless structure that is both modern and rustic. What really stood out to us was the lighting - it feels intentional the way natural light is captured from room to room, each a little different but all illuminated the space in a very poetic, healing way. We were welcomed into her apartment every morning for a breakfast banquet, always seasonal, always showcasing the region’s best. Nothing is too small for her to hold and elevate: local ceramics, fine china teacups and saucers and silverware from her mother’s treasured collection, sheep’s yoghurt provided by a friend, wild flowers from the garden for garnishing… I can go on. It’s an experience that each guest will get, albeit individual and one will notice and appreciate something different from the next. She took decades, and all of her passions and philosophies, to carve this space for herself, a retreat from the world but not from her community, and that is what she shares with her guests. We are so appreciative that we get a glimpse into a life of maternal peonies, wild creatures and bathing under the moonlight.
