The hills surrounding Camaiore treasure small villages where time seems to have stood still: ideal destinations to escape the summer heat, embrace the changing seasons through the colors of the woods, walk in peaceful silence, and enjoy priceless panoramic views stretching from lush greenery to the azure Versilia coast. Choosing to live or spend your holidays in these places means gifting yourself a slow, authentic quality of life, with the added advantage of having the sea or the Apuan Alps just minutes away to explore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Casoli, the Graffiti Village<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Located about ten minutes from the center of Camaiore, Casoli<\/strong> is an open-air art gallery. The village is famous throughout Italy for the graffiti painted directly onto the stone walls of its houses\u2014works created by international artists and art students telling stories of myths, legends, and mountain daily life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is a magical, fully pedestrianized walk, perfect for families with children. Along the road leading up to the church, Bar Da Mario is well worth a stop for a coffee or an aperitif with a view. For hiking enthusiasts, you can continue uphill from Casoli to the hamlet of Trescolli and reward yourself with a traditional lunch at Il Chiosco nel Bosco, a wooden chalet immersed in nature with a breathtaking view of the coast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Greppolungo, the Fortress Among the Rocks<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Perched on a rocky outcrop over 400 meters above sea level, Greppolungo<\/strong> has ancient and fascinating origins: in the 13th century, it was home to an important feudal castle due to its strategic vantage point, before being repopulated in the 15th century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, Greppolungo appears as a cluster of stone houses intertwined with narrow alleys and stairways. Walking to the highest point of the village brings you to the remains of the ancient fortress wall and a natural terrace offering a sweeping view across the Camaiore plain all the way to the sea. It is a mystical place where the rugged nature of the Apuan Alps meets the gentle beauty of the Tuscan landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

-><\/mark> Living Here<\/a><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Right along the scenic road leading toward Casoli on one side and Greppolungo on the other, we offer Bianca Antica<\/a><\/strong>: a splendid apartment set within the historic Villa La Bianca complex, surrounded by greenery and featuring a shared pool. A unique home, perfect for those seeking hillside peace just moments from town (you can read its fascinating story in our dedicated blog post about Villa La Bianca<\/a><\/strong>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Metato, the Village of Silence<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Metato is a tiny gem clinging to the mountain slope. Its name derives from metato<\/em>, the traditional stone hut once used by farmers to dry chestnuts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cars must be left at the foot of the village: Metato is explored exclusively on foot along old footpaths and mule tracks. The uphill walk requires a little effort, but the absolute peace and panoramic view over the Gulf of La Spezia and its islands reward every step. To recharge your energy, a stop at Il Fondaccio is a must\u2014an extraordinary family-run restaurant offering an intimate, authentic, and welcoming dining experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

-><\/mark> Living Here<\/a><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In Metato, we have Casa Fiore<\/strong> for sale, a charming rustic stone farmhouse skillfully preserved and rich in original features that enhance its timeless charm and authenticity. Located right in the heart of this untouched village, it is the ideal property for those seeking a peaceful retreat far from city stress (discover it among our properties in Camaiore<\/a><\/strong>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pedona, the Terrace Overlooking the Valley<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Perched on the opposite side of the valley from Metato, Pedona offers one of the most majestic panoramic views in all of Versilia, extending on clear days from Livorno to the Tuscan Archipelago islands and the Gulf of La Spezia. The sunset viewed from its natural terraces is an unforgettable sight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once you park your car, it is a pleasure to wander through its beautifully kept alleys. For a step back in time, stop by Trattoria Il Sorriso, a historic local tavern and shop. Here, tasting Scopolato di Pedona<\/em> is essential, a prized local sheep’s milk cheese made using a double-curdling process and aged for six months in mountain caves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

-><\/mark> Living Here<\/a><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In the heart of the village, we offer Il Cinghialino<\/strong>, an ancient stone farmhouse where medieval history meets the flexibility of contemporary living. This is a rare property that combines architectural quality, Tuscan authenticity, and strong investment potential, offering an outstanding quality of life in one of the most scenic settings in the Versilia hills.
