Description
Villa dell'Artista is a beautifully restored 18th-century farmhouse of 400 sq. m. situated within the undulating Tuscan Hills, just a 10 minute drive from the historic walled city of Lucca. This bright property, with its finely detailed decor, is perfectly located, offering utmost privacy while being close to Lucca. The grounds, with their walled gardens and swimming pool, create a magnificent environment for relaxation and enjoyment. Culture and adventure are short distances away, with mountains to the north, the Mediterranean Sea to the west, and Renaissance and medieval cities in nearly every direction. On clear days, one can even see the Leaning Tower of Pisa in the distance.
The road that leads to the property offers a breathtaking panorama characterised by a beautiful vineyard, gorgeous olive trees, and a magnificent hedge. The property enjoys absolute privacy with extraordinary views both during the day and at night. At night, the atmosphere is enchanting with wooded hills surrounding the property.
The interiors were designed by the finest craftsmen, respecting both Tuscan traditions and the highest standards of modern amenities. All of the fireplaces are antique, with the main one in the living room dating back to the 16th century. The first floor opens onto the outdoor terrace and pergolas, providing a perfect place for al fresco dining or simply enjoying the peace of the property. The house is also well-maintained and very easy to live in, thanks to its open floor plan and light, airy feel.
The estate has five en-suite bedrooms: four large bedrooms, two on each floor, plus a smaller one on the ground floor and six baths. All rooms are decorated in pastel tones with antique furniture pieces, wooden beams, and terracotta tiles, and all bedrooms are air-conditioned. The property also features a charming artists' studio full of enchantment.
The estate boasts about 1,000 olive trees and a vineyard with Merlot grapes. The insignia, representing the pastoral nature of the entire property, has been used to market the olive oil and could also be used for branding any wine produced.
