and easy intimacy, discreet sophistication and understated
luxury. Painstakingly restored, fusing Old World grace and
modern comfort to perfection, the stunning property is full
of authentic character and craftsmanship. Adding to the
elegant sense of space and refinement are many wonderful
original features that have been meticulously preserved,
including frescoes, impressive fireplaces, a grand central
stairway and stone and terracotta detailing.
The exclusive villa has maintained its traditional layout, with
the service rooms and storage placed on the ground floor
and the piano nobile (noble level) on the first floor, with its
imposing reception rooms, large open plan kitchen, library
and dining room. Many of these rooms retain their original
paint and fresco work, and enjoy wonderful views across the
valley. Off the kitchen are the villa’s terraces and the shaded
summer dining pergola.
Adjoining the fine main villa are two guest apartments, each
with two bedrooms. These spacious residences provide open
plan living-dining areas and contemporary designed interiors.
The blissfully private home is surrounded by impressive,
serene grounds, graced with olive groves, vegetable and
flower gardens, mature fruit orchards, parkland and southfacing vineyards, which are currently not in use. Embraced
by far-reaching scenic vistas, the luxurious estate captures
the heart and the imagination, with its charm, idyllic lifestyle
and unspoilt beauty.
The exceptional country home is gently nestled within an
enchanting Lucchese village. As is typical in many such hilltop
villages, the villa was the principal noble residence in the area,
with its commanding views of the villages and surrounding
landscape. In addition to its superior natural splendour, the
noble estate is conveniently located to Pisa International
Airport and the Tuscan coast (Forte dei Marmi), each 40
minutes away. Florence can be reached within an hour.
This private haven of sophisticated luxury boasts an elite
pedigree of timeless distinction.
