Pietrasanta, Lucca, Italy

Description

Magnificent 18th century residence situated on the hills of Versilia overlooking the Tuscan coast with spectacular panoramic views from Livorno to the Poets Gulf. The villa is surrounded by centuries-old olive groves which enclose the suggestive Italian garden whose terraces and citrus grove gently decline toward a wonderful sea view with dreamy sunsets. The Villa is distributed over three levels with a rectangular plan. Thanks to a careful restoration project respecting the original structure and materials, the charm has been left intact resulting in a tranquil and private luxury home. The large internal halls are a triumph of eighteenth-century frescoes, the ceilings have splendid exposed beams, there are Tuscan terracotta and “terrazzo” floors, fine period furnishings, and unique pieces of art. The ground floor consists of a spacious living area with two large french windows that open out onto the garden offering a splendid view of the sea. There is a big kitchen, a dining room with 15 seats, a billiard room, a bathroom and a private consecrated chapel. On the first floor are three beautifully frescoed double bedrooms with views of the sea, the hills and the garden. Both the bedrooms have private bathrooms. Also on the first floor are other service rooms and private lounges. The second floor has been renovated in a skilful mix of tradition and modern design with a large living area with fireplace, a kitchen, four bedrooms and three bathrooms. On the external area adjacent to the main villa is the large covered terrace where one can enjoy meals with a breathtaking panoramic view. In front of the villa is a garden with a belvedere and at the back on spacious flat ground is a 10×4 meter swimming pool with solarium which leads to a well-kept Italian garden, embellished with fountains and mosaics of the era and a lush citrus grove. On the lower level is a large room that was originally the oil mill and is currently, transformed into a delightful loft where there are still the ancient millstones. Served by a private garden and a secondary driveway, this room actually constitutes an independent apartment. To complete the property is the terraced and fenced land of about 12.000 square meters originally intended for olive groves, and the grand entrance driveway which leads to the parking area and the cellars.
