Full Description
Villa Tranquilla is a newly built, architect designed, luxury villa located in Massa, a small village a few minutes away from the centre of the beautiful old town of Maratea, known as the 'Pearl' of the Tyrrhenian sea. This exceptional property offers spacious, luxurious, five bedroomed accommodation with comfortable reception rooms and a top quality, fully fitted kitchen. The outside is attractive and well laid out, offering many secluded, sheltered areas in which to enjoy the Mediterranean lifestyle. As the name suggests, the property is located in a tranquil setting. The view to the south is across unspoilt mountains, leading to the sea and the property is surrounded by its own land.
The property is entered through elegant, wrought iron, electrically operated double gates opening onto a large car parking area. From there you follow a path leading to impressive, solid wooden doors which open onto a grand entrance hall. A wide, curved staircase leads to the upper floor. From the entrance hall, to the left, there is a large, comfortable drawing room and to the right, an elegant dining room, a fully fitted kitchen with a family sitting room, a shower/utility room, rear lobby and cloakroom. The drawing room, the dining room and the family sitting room, all have double doors leading onto the south-facing terrace.
Upstairs, from the landing, there is a principal bedroom suite, comprising a spacious double bedroom with double doors leading to a south-facing veranda; a bathroom with jacuzzi bath and a dressing room. Also from the landing, there is a corridor leading to two further double bedrooms and a shower room. At the end of the corridor there is a further double bedroom or study, with stairs leading to further bedroom above. The landing, and the two south-facing rooms all have double doors leading to spacious verandas outside.
Outside
The villa is surrounded by a wide, tiled terrace. There are some sheltered areas, designed for al fresco dining, and other, open areas designed for sunbathing. Each of the principal reception rooms has a double door opening out to the terrace, and the south-facing rooms upstairs open to spacious verandas with spectacular views over the surrounding countryside. In addition there is a lawn, edged with olive and fig trees and a vegetable garden. The land is surrounded by open fields where local farmers currently graze their sheep and goats. The whole environment is one of peace and harmony, where the lazy, sunny days of endless summer can be enjoyed in time-honoured, southern Italian tradition.
The Entrance Hall
The entrance hall is wide, extravagantly open and extremely impressive. There is space all around with the drawing room to one side, the dining room to the other and the magnificent wood and wrought iron staircase curving into the open space of the landing above. It creates the perfect introduction to such a well-designed, comfortable villa.
