Period villa with charming views over the Tuscan countryside

This charming historic villa is set in a panoramic position southwest of Lucca, in an area renowned for its many period residences, once the summer retreats of Lucca's noble families.

The property enjoys splendid countryside views and includes two outbuildings in need of renovation, along with approximately 3.7 ha of land.

The original structure dates back to the 14th century, when it belonged to the noble Arnolfini family, who used it as a hunting lodge. In the 16th century, the property was acquired by the Trenta family and restored to its current form. The current owners have undertaken a careful, conservative restoration, preserving most of the original materials.

Access to the property is through a charming enclosed hanging garden that offers a wonderful panoramic view of the valley. The villa offers approximately 420 sq m of living space and is arranged as follows.

The ground floor features a double entrance hall, a kitchen with an antique fireplace and wood-burning oven, a dining room, and a living room adorned with fine frescoes and direct access to the outdoors.

On the first floor, the main entrance - reached via a double staircase - leads into a large living room, a second living room with a fireplace, a study, and, just a few steps away, the principal bedroom with an en-suite bathroom.

The second floor comprises three spacious bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a large attic.

The basement level consists of a generous cellar with charming barrel-vaulted ceilings.

Completing the property are approximately 3.7 ha of land, partly planted with olive trees, and two small outbuildings requiring renovation.
