Turn of the century villa of magnificent proportions (300 sqm), with wonderful views over the Lunigiana countryside, in Tuscany. The villa is entered into a light and airy hallway, with great ceiling height and sense of space. The kitchen is large and well-fitted, with a large table and chairs and there is a sunny, spacious living room and a dining room or similar proportions. To the rear of the property is a large conservatory with views over the garden area. Downstairs toilet and utility room. Up the beautiful staircase, on the half-landing is a modern bathroom and on up are four large bedrooms and a bathroom. Each bedroom is double aspect, flooded with light from the large windows. Access to attic space. On the lower level are extensive 'cantina' rooms, suitable as workshop or storage. The garden extends to around 1,000 sqm, (about a quarter of an acre) suitable for a swimming pool, subject to planning consent. Good access roads, and private, gated parking. Central heating and all services connected.

The villa is on the edge of a small village in the Lunigiana hills, only 10 kms from Aulla where there is an autostrada exit, a train station, supermarkets and shops. There are numerous country farm restaurants to discover nearby, serving local specialties and excellent walking trails abound. The small town of Barbarasco is close, set on the banks of the river Magra, which offers a selection of shops and restaurants, schools, chemist and one of the best cheese shops in the area.

Lunigiana is a magical part of Tuscany. The rolling landscape is liberally sprinkled with castles of Medici or Malaspina vintage but for lovers of the coast the sea is only half-an-hours’ drive away. There is breath-taking scenery and you simply feel a huge sense of well-being radiating from the sunshine, glorious countryside, delicious food and wine, kind and friendly locals and most importantly, from the sense of tradition and community among people that is rarely seen in modern day life.The golden sandy beaches around Lerici and the pebble coves of the Cinque Terre (UNESCO World Heritage site) are ideal for swimming and sailing. The area is criss-crossed with marked footpaths for walks to the hills and mountains. The airports of Pisa, Parma and Genova are all within an easy drive.

Distances: Barbarasco 6 km, Aulla (train station, autostrada, supermarkets) 10 km, Lerici (beaches) 35 km, Cinque Terre 40 km, Lucca 80km, Pisa (airport) 90km.
