Holiday apartment in Santa Lucia: historic paths and coastal views

Santa Lucia is a small village in the municipality of Camaiore that combines nature, historical traces and scenic paths into a varied holiday experience. A holiday apartment in Santa Lucia particularly appeals to travellers who want to get to know a place through hikes, landscapes and cultural history. The points of interest range from the hillside path to the old Canova washhouse.

Hillside paths between Camaiore and Capezzano

The Santa Lucia–Canova–Villa Cavanis path is one of the hillside paths between the town centre of Camaiore and the Capezzano plain. At the same time, it is a historic route with scenic and panoramic characteristics. This gives your daily planning a clear focus: you can consider history, the experience of the route and the views together, without reducing Santa Lucia to a single attraction.

Circular routes with different itineraries

The circular hike from Capezzano to Santa Lucia is part of the “Camaiore Antiqua” project, which comprises 15 circular routes. It runs from the cemetery along a steep path to the village and then via the municipal mule track to the Canova washhouse.

Another connection is provided by the “Traversata delle Frazioni Camaioresi”: it runs from Santa Lucia along the slopes of Monte Gabberi to Fibbiano Montanino.

Acquarella, nature and coastal views

The Sentiero dell'Acquarella is a 3.9 km route from Villa Cavanis in Capezzano to the church square in Santa Lucia. It passes through nature and olive groves to the small village and offers views over the entire Versilia coast. On clear days, islands of the Tuscan Archipelago can also be seen. The specific route length provides a tangible point of orientation, while the views make the path particularly appealing to those interested in landscapes.

Washhouse and early local history

The Santa Lucia–Canova–Villa Cavanis path includes the old “di Cànova” washhouse, which is documented as early as 1018. The washhouse is historically valuable; in the pre-industrial era, washhouses were fundamental structures. This gives a specific destination along the route a cultural-historical significance that remains understandable even without specialist knowledge.

Santa Lucia between Borgo and Pieve

The Borgo di Santa Lucia is recorded for the 13th century under the name “Vegghiatoia or Vegliatoia”. For the episcopal visitation from 1465 to 1467, Santa Lucia a Vegghiatoia is associated with the churches of the Pieve di Santa Felicita. Together with the paths and the washhouse, this creates a historical perspective on the village that brings together different interests during a stay.
