Individual ratings for Locanda al Colle

Location
Hidden in the hills of Camaiore, the Locanda nestles in a well-groomed garden right next to an olive grove. The beautiful sandy beaches of Versilia are within easy reach, the Lido di Camaiore being just 5\_km away, while Forte dei Marmi is 10\_km away.
Ambience
An elegant B&B with plenty of character and charm, defined by discreet luxury and a serene ambience.
Infrastructure

A well-appointed garden complex with lush retreats, heated salt water outdoor pool and hot tub, open-plan kitchen, bicycles, parking lot, and complimentary access to the “Chimera” beach club in Marina di Pietrasanta.

Culinary
Breakfast with fresh-squeezed orange juice, home-made Bircher muesli, and egg dishes à la minute. Twice a week (Wednesday and Saturday), chef Gian Luca serves a multi-course dinner at the Locanda. There is a cooking class on Tuesdays.
Rooms
12 rooms and suites tastefully decorated in earthy colours, all of them with very beautiful, modern bathrooms. A selected few of them come with a private patio with a sweeping view all the way to the sea.
Service
Very personal, attentive and warm. Riccardo’s charm is irresistible. It will make you feel immediately at home, as if you were visiting a friend.

Locanda al Colle Hotel, Camaiore

No reception, no concierge, not even room numbers – but 12 rooms and suites decorated in impeccable style, and bearing resonant names such as “Aurora,” “Orizzonte,” “Cipresso” or “Mare,” and a well-appointed garden that includes a pool. Striking about the interior design is its closely coordinated arrangement of contemporary sculptures, unique lamps, stacks of tour guides and coffee-table books, bouquets of fresh roses, and sensuous scents. Altogether elegant and full of character. It would not be right to call “Locanda al Colle” an insider tip. In fact, word about this neat B&B designed by Riccardo Barsottelli has gotten around in the community of individual holidaymakers, fans of Forte dei Marmi, and professional travellers. This explains why guests no longer book at their convenience, but cautiously inquire instead whether there is any weekend at all that is not fully booked yet.
Price range €€
A privileged spot for daydreaming: Lounging in a deck chair with view of the vast blue sea. Room rates include free admission to the chic “Chimera” beach club.
With a bit of luck, you may be able to book a room on short notice. It is definitely a good idea to book as early as November or December for the next summer season.
