Overview
Cocco Bernocco is the perfect rural villa for those who want to be immersed in nature, and retreat from the daily grind to a residence of peace and seclusion. Enclosed by a perimeter wall of tall trees, standing alone in the hills behind the Versilia coast it is easy to forget the routine world is still out there.
Sleeping ten people, this villa would be ideal for a family or group of friends with a love of the great outdoors, situated in an area famed for its pine forests and long white beaches there is plenty of trekking and swimming to be enjoyed. Alternatively, guests may choose to simply relax in the privacy of the spacious front garden, complete with sun loungers and outdoor dining furniture dating back to the early 20th century. On the terrace, there is the option of the 15m x 4m swimming pool, and guests can always enjoy the services of a maid, gardener, cook, masseur and babysitter.
At the same time, those who crave shopping, the big lights and the bustle of fashionable seaside resorts are catered for within the fashionable, artistic hotspots of Forte dei Marmi and Pietrasanta.
The interior of the villa is finished to an immaculate standard while maintaining a warm and homely charm through careful use of colour, stone flooring and vintage-style furniture. This thoughtful use of décor gives the interior a distinctive character that will create long-lasting memories of a place where time stands still and day to day stresses disappear.

Location
About the surrounding area of Cocco BernoccoThe house is located a short drive away from the beaches of Versilia (depending which resort) in the northwestern province of Lucca, named after the Versilia River. It is known for its long white beaches, for its pine forests and the Apian Alps dramatically hovering in the background with marble quarries that go back to Roman times.
In the 20th century Versilia became known for its fashionable Riviera resorts, such as Forte dei Marmi with legendary clubs like La Capannina where musicians including Louis Armstrong, Ray Charles and Gloria Gaynor performed in the post-war years.
Many distinguished writers such as Gabriele D’Annunzio and sculptors such as Henry Moore resided in the vicinity. Pietrasanta was home to Michelangelo in 1500 for two years when he came to Carrara in search of the most flawless marble for his sculpture La Pieta’. The town still attracts contemporary artists from around the world such as Kitaj, Botero and Mitorai.
The ancient city of Lucca is a great destination for lovers of history and architecture. Particularly famed for its intact Renaissance-era city walls, Lucca is a fascinating treasure trove of constructions that exemplify different eras of design, and has a well-documented and significant history dating back over 2000 years.

Beautiful Villa
Cocco Bernocco is a beautiful villa in an excellent location. It is surrounded by rural Tuscany but within walking distance to Camaiore, the local town. The villa supplied quality toiletries and linen. The swimming pool and surrounds were well maintained, as was the villa itself. If we had a question or concern it was attended to promptly.

We had a really lovely stay!
We had a really lovely stay! The house is beautiful, in a stunning setting and has everything you need. The house manager was incredibly helpful. The only thing worth mentioning is the house is not toddler friendly - lots of big stone steps and precious ceramics and furniture.

Well, what can we say...............our vacation were absolutely fabulous!
I have to say this was one of the most relaxing holidays we've had.The Villa is very beautiful, located in a calm area. Recently restored with so much care and attention to detail - a labor of love for the owner. The pool and the garden are breathtaking beautiful and you can relax perfectly.
The owner is extremely helpful; she also gave us some really useful advice and ideas on places to visit and tips for excellent restaurants in the area of Forte Dei Marmi, Pisa, Lucca, Pietrasanta and Camaiore. The house offers also a huge collection of CD´s and the best DVD´s for example; The Pink Panther, Death on the Nile, Breakfast at Tiffany´s.
We cannot recommend this house enough. Grazie! -
Classic Italian villa decorated with such personal treasures you feel very special to be there
"A gorgeous atmosphere - cicadas in the air, breezy trees and good saltwater pool. Air con in all bedrooms is new and superb which is needed in the heat! Loved the privacy of the estate and yet 5 minutes from beautiful Camaiore for supermarket, shops, gelato & coffee. Bathrooms were new and beautifully appointed. Kitchen small but We catered for ten over two weeks no problem. Lots of fabulous restaurants close by. Lots of different areas to have drinks and meals at home in shade and sun. Great proximity to Portofino or Florence day trip - 1.5 hrs drive. So close to best beach clubs at Forte Dei Marmi.."
