Four Tuscan cottages surrounded by the green hills of Versilia. A welcoming family waiting for you with open arms. A table filled with delicacies picked directly from the garden. Is there a better way to flee from the daily routine and to relax according to nature\u2019s time?<\/em><\/h4>\n

Gaia<\/strong> and her family decided to overturn their lives, leave chaotic Milan and find shelter in the tranquility of Tuscan hills. Thanks to their love for this land and the environment, Borgo4case<\/strong> was born. It\u2019s an eco-friendly accommodation surrounded by secular olive groves and marvelous hills. This is their adventure.<\/p>\n

Hi Gaia, how was your project of eco-hospitality born?<\/h4>\n

30 years ago<\/strong>, my parents, Paola and Lucia, bought a little abandoned stable and renovated it. They wanted to create their country shelter<\/a><\/strong>, where to escape in order to take a break from Milan. Each summer, my parents and I used to travel to Versilia<\/strong>. In this corner of Tuscany, there was a completely different atmosphere from the city\u2019s one, made of green hills and carefree tranquility.<\/p>\n

Over the following years, I saw Villa Gaia<\/strong> grow and renovate; I met the first clients, who wanted to breathe the same quiet air that I found every summer in Camaiore<\/strong>. With many sacrifices, my parents were building some cottages surrounded by nature in the places where I grew up, to share the harmony we found there with strangers.<\/p>\n

Finally, I understood that what I wanted to do was waking up every morning surrounded by all these olive groves and hills, where also my relatives had found peace and tranquility during our holidays. That was the moment to overturn my life<\/strong> and move to Camaiore, from the big city to the rolling hills with a one-way ticket.<\/p>\n

At the beginning, there was only Villa Gaia, and then as the years went by, we had the chance to buy other small houses in the same land. We need to change the name into Borgo4case<\/strong>, but we kept all our values<\/strong>: environmental sustainability, love for nature and welcoming hospitality.<\/p>\n

Which slow eco-friendly way of live do you propose to your guests?<\/h4>\n

Borgo4case is a quiet place, surrounded by the nature of Tuscan hills<\/strong>. Here our guests can really take a break and enjoy nature\u2019s colors and sounds, relaxing in fresh stone-made houses and in the olive grove around the pool.<\/p>\n

In particular, children<\/strong> can make contact with nature: they can take part in the activities in the garden and the olive grove, discover bees\u2019 world, playing with hens and much more. We manage everything respecting nature\u2019s times<\/strong> and with biological methods.<\/p>\n
