An elegant, historic 19th-century manor house, recently restored under the direction of a renowned architect, equipped with every comfort (including soundproofed ceilings) and furnished with fine antique family heirlooms, located just a few kilometers from Lucca, nestled in the green hills of Versilia, between the sea and the Apuan Alps (a UNESCO-protected natural park), bathed in sunshine, where you can breathe in the fresh air of both the sea and the hills, surrounded by olive trees, fruit trees, and the scents of lavender, wisteria, jasmine, and rosemary; featuring ample parking and a splendid private park within a 16,000-square-meter property, offering panoramic views, with the sea visible in the distance and breathtaking sunsets; perfect for taking a break from the hustle and bustle of modern life; ideal not only in summer but also in fall (olive, mushroom, and chestnut harvesting) and in spring (harvesting wild fruits and herbs), for those seeking rest and tranquility in the spacious, well-equipped garden and by the pool, surrounded by olive groves and centuries-old woods steeped in history (Via Francigena). The property, located just outside a quaint village, is flanked by an ancient medieval road that is still passable on foot today by hiking enthusiasts.
Opportunities for historical and nature excursions, visits to cities of art (Florence, Lucca, Pisa, Siena, etc.), participation in cultural events (the Puccini Festival in Torre del Lago, the Chamber Music Festival in Pieve an Elici, the Lucca Summer Festival, Lucca Comics & Games dedicated to comics, the Viareggio Carnival, etc.), and various folkloric celebrations. The Livorno Aquarium on the seafront is an hour away from the property. From June through September, there are interesting daily boat tours departing from Viareggio to Lake Massaciuccoli, the Cinque Terre, the Island of Elba, and other islands in the Tuscan Archipelago.
Villa La Piana is close to the sea, with sandy beaches (Viareggio, Lido di Camaiore, Forte dei Marmi, etc.) about half an hour away.
A trattoria, bar, and grocery store are 2 kilometers away.
The Glicine apartment, located on the first floor, is suitable not only for a family but also for two couples, as it features two bathrooms and a second kitchenette, which, if needed, allows the two groups to have their own space.
The Gelsomino apartment, located on the first and top floor, is panoramic and elegant. In addition to two bedrooms with an attached bathroom, it features a spacious living room and a dining area with a large extendable table.
In the large garden, each apartment has its own private area for dining and relaxing, complete with a table, chairs, deck chairs, and sun loungers. The pool (400x800x130 cm), fed by spring water, is shared exclusively by guests of the two apartments, Glicine and Gelsomino.
The villa, as a whole, is also particularly well-suited for a group of friends or a large family.
The property offers wireless Internet access and features a large on-site parking area with an automatic gate. Electric car charging is available. An outdoor laundry room is available for guests’ use.
