Why buy in Lido di Camaiore
A seafront promenade of about three kilometres, a beach of golden sand, the pier with its great terrace over the sea and the Apuan Alps behind.
- Blue Flag confirmed again in 2026
- 3.2 km of bathing coastline
- 2 out of 3 bathing areas rated “Excellent”, the other “Good”
In Lido di Camaiore the sea is enjoyed on foot: from the pier to the promenade, between beach clubs and cafés, with the mountains as a backdrop.
The Lido is the seaside part of the municipality of Camaiore: a promenade of about three kilometres lined with numerous beach clubs and a beach of golden sand.
As early as the beginning of the twentieth century the resort attracted guests such as Gabriele D’Annunzio, Eleonora Duse and King Victor Emmanuel III.
Its symbol today is the pier, which ends in a large circular terrace of about 700 square metres overlooking the sea. And just a few kilometres away lies the old town of Camaiore, on the Via Francigena.
Where to buy, and at what price.
The seafront
The front row on the sea: beach clubs, cafés and the promenade, for those who want the beach right outside their door.
Around the pier
The liveliest spot of the Lido, with shops and services within walking distance.
Further inland
The quieter residential streets behind the seafront, with houses and small villas a few minutes from the beach.
For Lido di Camaiore we do not publish an average: the portal data that could be reliably consulted were insufficient. The official reference values are those of the Real Estate Market Observatory (OMI); to know what a home at the Lido is truly worth, we assess it in person.

Taxes when buying from a private seller
- Main residence: registration tax (imposta di registro)
- 2% (minimum €1,000)
- Second home: registration tax (imposta di registro)
- 9% (minimum €1,000)
- Mortgage and cadastral taxes
- €50 + €50
For private individuals, taxes are calculated on the cadastral value (the “prezzo-valore” system), which is usually far lower than the price. If you buy from a company subject to VAT, rates and fixed amounts change: we check them with the notary case by case.
