Description
Magnificent estate located on a hill in one of the most prestigious areas, dating back to the 16th and 18th century, 15 minutes from the center of Lucca.
The estate consists of a beautifully renovated villa (1,200 sqm - 13,000 sqft) and four partially restored outbuildings (total built area around 800 sq m - 8,600 sq ft).
Description
The villa, extraordinarily finished, was owned by noble families and by an important politician dating back to the "fascism" era (Count Ciano - brother-in-law of Musolino). The restoration work lasted five years, bringing the estate to its former glory and completed with the original materials where possible. Most of the furniture dates from the 18th and early 20th century.
The villa consists of three levels and a cellar.
The ground floor houses a splendid dining room, a reception room, a billiard room and a large winter garden (decorated with original stained glass on the ceiling), the kitchen, a small chapel, the library, the laundry room and three bathrooms.
The first floor houses a second living room, four double bedrooms and four bathrooms.
The second and the top floor houses a large family room, a kitchen, a dining room, a dressing room, a gym, three bedrooms and three bathrooms.
The property is surrounded by 6 hectares of land (incredibly flat, despite the hilly position) cultivated olive grove and forest. In front of and on the side of the main 'facade' there is a wonderful Italian garden.
Condition of the property
The main villa is in excellent condition, while the four annexes have only been partially restored.
