Tuscany, Lunigiana, Casola in Lunigiana, Italy

Superbly appointed country property (350 sqm) set within 17,000 sqm of land, featuring six bedrooms, six bathrooms, and beautifully designed living spaces both indoors and out. Presented in immaculate condition, the villa dates back to the 1500s, with earlier Roman foundations, and has undergone a meticulous restoration that preserves its authentic character while offering modern comfort.

The grounds include a charming courtyard, a swimming pool, olive groves, and breathtaking panoramic views across the surrounding countryside. A large renovatede barn outbuilding on two levels enhances the estate, providing additional versatility.

Ideally positioned on the edge of a picturesque village, adjacent to the church, the property enjoys a peaceful yet convenient setting. The main villa offers five bedrooms and bathrooms, while a converted barn provides a sixth bedroom and bathroom.

The two principal floors of the villa are connected by an internal staircase, yet the layout also offers excellent potential to create a separate unit for rental income, thanks to its independent external entrance.

The terraced gardens and stone courtyards create a series of enchanting, beautifully crafted spaces, perfect for relaxing and entertaining in an atmosphere of timeless charm.

The property is connected to mains services and broadband internet, air conditioning, 14kw pv panels. Easy car access and private parking.

The villa has spectacular views across chestnut-wooded valleys and hillsides to the mountain peaks of the Apuan Alps National Park. It is located 80 kms north of Lucca, and is just a 50 minute drive from the coastal villages and famed seafood restaurants of the Italian Riviera and the Cinque Terre.

Dimora Del Glicine is situated in a small village near Casola in Lunigiana, a small town set on the hill above the Aulella river with the houses huddled around the central stone tower which is famous for its stone statues which date back to the Neolithic age. There is a selection of shops and restaurants in the town, a chemist and in the neighbouring village a train station with direct trains to Lucca. There are beautiful views to the Apuan mountains and cobbled lanes lead from the town to the river.

Lunigiana is a magical part of Tuscany. The hills that encircle Lunigiana create an intimate and relaxed atmosphere whilst the blend of the mountains and sea are extremely inviting to those who enjoy the outdoors. The rolling landscape is liberally sprinkled with castles of Medici or Malaspina vintage and for lovers of the coast the sea is only a short hop away. The golden sandy beaches around Lerici and the pebble coves of the Cinque Terre are ideal for swimming and sailing and the area is criss-crossed with marked footpaths for walks to the hills and mountains. The airports of Pisa, Parma and Genova are each around an hour away.
