Villa Gallena — Ein Romantisches Bauernhaus Aus Stein, Das Den Authentischen Geist Der Versilia Verkörpert

Introducing Villa Gallena — a romantic stone farmhouse that embodies the authentic spirit of Versilia, nestled in the foothills of Camaiore and just 10 kilometres from the seaside resorts of Viareggio and Forte dei Marmi. A noble country residence, built in the 1800s and reborn in 2004 thanks to skilful restoration: the original architecture has been respected in character and accompanied by the comforts expected today from a prestigious residence. The result is a house that breathes light, with rooms that are more airy than usual for Tuscan farmhouses, and a warm, essential, sophisticated style.
The main entrance is via an external staircase that leads to a tidy and welcoming entrance hall. The main floor is dedicated to conviviality: an elegant dining room dialogues with a large eat-in kitchen, the true operational heart of the house, overlooking a large covered terrace — the perfect setting for outdoor dinners from March to October, with greenery as a backdrop and the sea breeze gently blowing in from the coast. A guest bathroom and a convenient pantry complete the level.
A wide and comfortable internal staircase connects the floors. Going up, the upper floor and the attic house the master suite with private bathroom, as well as two bedrooms served by an additional bathroom with shower. Here, the high ceilings, the rhythm of the windows and the materials (stone, terracotta, wood) recreate that timeless “Tuscan home” feeling, softened by a brightness unusual for country houses.
Descending, the lower floor is tailor-made for contemporary hospitality: four bedrooms, each with en-suite bathrooms, and all with independent entrances from the outside. One of them has a small kitchen and is perfect for long-term guests or staff. This configuration makes Villa Gallena an ideal solution for extended families, charming hospitality or flexible accommodation management (high-profile short-term rentals, artist residences, private retreats), while maintaining privacy and autonomy between the rooms.
The basement is a surprise: a large tavern now used as an artist’s studio, two cellar rooms, a technical room and two bathrooms. It is a space that lends itself to becoming a wellness area, cinema room, gym or creative workshop — depending on the life project you imagine here.
Outside, approximately 9,500 square metres of parkland offer breathtaking panoramic views, with areas of shade and light, stone walls, paths and clearings perfect for reading, meditating or dining under the pergolas. In a discreet location, the 11×4 m swimming pool with relaxation area embodies the very idea of a Mediterranean holiday: essential, elegant and natural. Privacy is absolute, and the silence has the pleasant sound of the Tuscan countryside. Yet, in just a few minutes, you can be at the sea, at the iconic restaurants of the coast, and at the local services and shops.
In addition to its beauty, Villa Gallena offers intelligent living solutions: a layout by levels that separates public and private life; external entrances to the rooms on the lower floor for guests and staff; and large surface areas (approximately 370 square metres on four levels) that make the property suitable both as a main residence and as a second home for rental income (subject to verification of local regulations). The 2004 renovation respected the original materials, updating the systems and usability, so that today the house is immediately enjoyable.
This is not just a property: it is the perfect setting for a life of happy returns, friends arriving at sunset, leisurely breakfasts overlooking the hills, and trips to the sea when the wind calls. It is also a consistent asset for those seeking real estate in an area with strong leisure demand, a location that combines use value and positioning.
