Tuscany, Pisa, Lajatico, Italy

Located In the village of Lajatico, and just a short walk from the main square and local amenities, we are pleased to offer for sale this beautiful 2 bedroom apartment in a small condominium building and featuring a panoramic terrace. Lajatico is a charming village in the heart of Tuscany, strategically positioned among the region’s renowned art cities, all reachable within an hour’s drive, and only 45 minutes from Pisa International Airport and the Tuscan coast. Lajatico has become internationally famous thanks to the Teatro del Silenzio, a natural amphitheater set among the rolling hills, offering a unique 360° view over the surrounding countryside, where every year Andrea Bocelli performs before an international audience. The property is accessible through a shared entrance door on the ground floor, opening into a spacious entrance hall, with stairs shared with only one other apartment located on the second floor. The apartment provides about 130m2 of accommodation and has currently been divided into two separate units by the present owners and includes an entrance hall, bright kitchen with a fully functioning wood-burning fireplace and access to the panoramic terrace with stunning views over the surrounding countryside and the town of Volterra, the perfect place to relax and enjoy outdoor dining. Continuing on, there is a bathroom with shower, a large and very bright double bedroom with two windows, and a connecting room that could be used as a living room or second bedroom. From the passage, there is access to the second apartment, which includes a brand-new kitchen, an ante-bathroom area, bathroom with shower, and bedroom. Both apartments have private access from the condominium stair landing and, by closing off the connecting room, can become completely independent units. It is also possible to revert the property into one large main residence. The home features beautiful high vaulted ceilings, original terracotta floors, Wi-Fi connection, and breathtaking views over the surrounding countryside. All utilities are connected, including methane gas heating and mains water supply. There is also the possibility, through separate negotiation, to purchase a spacious and panoramic ground-floor garden with pergola, a small storage building that could be converted into a bathroom or outdoor kitchen, a woodshed, and a large cellar currently housing the apartment’s boiler. There is also the possibility of connecting the apartment terrace directly to the garden via an external staircase. A unique gem with excellent tourist rental potential.

Casa Travella was founded in 1987 when Linda & Pietro Travella saw an opportunity to offer Italian property for sale. At this time there were very few companies that offered any property for sale in Italy. Now years later read some of their story.

The company is fronted by Linda Travella and Casa Travella started selling property on Lake Como, where Pietro was born and Linda has worked and lived. The company were able to offer advice on numerous properties and ongoing help with all aspects of the buying process. If a client wants to restore a property, then Casa Travella can source tradesmen and professionals in the area and help with every aspect of the transaction.

When the BBC were looking for someone to speak on BBC Breakfast News about European property Linda was chosen to appear live on the programme. Other TV and radio programmes followed including Radio 5 Live, and ‘I want that House’ with Mark Simpkins, where Linda appeared in 6 episodes, the last one being a live programme from Florida, where an Italian apartment was given away as a prize. Linda appeared for RTE, Irish TV and for Channel 4‘s ‘A Place in the Sun’, where she accompanied Amanda Lamb along the shores of Lake Como by boat, to show her some of the stunning villas, including the one owned by George Clooney.

The Casa Travella team are always pleased to help when clients want to buy or sell a property in Italy. The office is multilingual with English, Italian and Spanish being spoken.

Linda says: ‘I feel proud that we can offer property for sale in many areas of Italy and we are able to give clients independent and professional advice on areas and types of property to suit their budget and needs.’

The Casa Travella team look forward to helping you buy or sell your Italian home.
