Superb villa set in a private position at the edge of a small hamlet with beautiful views over the hills.

The villa is set amongst the chestnut clad hills with stunning walks up to the mountain ridge or through the woods.

A short drive down the hill is the 13 th century town of Licciana Nardi with a selection of shops, restaurants and amenities. The town also has schools and a medical centre.

The nearby village is dominated by a medieval castle overlooking the valley.

The villa is built on two levels with entrance to a large living area with a fireplace, good size kitchen, bathroom and a wine cellar on the ground floor;

upstairs there are 3 bedrooms with balcony, bathroom and a store room.

A pergola with pizza oven and room for a large table to spend those summer evenings barbecuing and trying your hand with a wood fired oven !

There is land around the house of approx 3 000 square meters.

The property is accessed along a private drive.

The house is being sold partially furnished including the fitted kitchen.

Licciana Nardi is a town in the Taverone valley with 13th century pedestrian street flanked with local shops. Central in the town is the Piazza del Municipio which hosts the 16th century Malaspina castle and many festivals such as the Chestnut Festival in the autumn. The castle is linked to the baroque church by a covered bridge so that the nobles had direct access to prayer and dealings with the local priest. There are also a bank, schools, restaurants and medical facilities. The nearby village of Monti has a castle on the hill above and offers a good selection of amenities.

Lunigiana (pronounced Loonee-janna) is a magical part of Tuscany starting with its name the ‘Land of the Moon’. 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 but for lovers of the coast the sea is only half-an-hours’ drive away.

Lunigiana is special and has been likened to a magical kingdom. It is not only the breath-taking scenery with its abundance of medieval castles but you simply feel a huge sense of wellbeing radiating from the sunshine, glorious countryside, delicious food and wine, kind friendly locals and most importantly, from the sense of tradition and community amongst people here that is rarely seen in modern day life.

The golden sandy beaches around Lerici and the pebble coves of the Cinque Terre are ideal for swimming and sailing in the summer while the snow clad mountains offer skiing in the local resorts during the winter months and are each a short drive away. 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 hours’ drive.
