Full Description


Wonderful village house (117 sqm) in immaculate, move-in condition, set in a tranquil, peaceful village location, yet very easily accessible to the main town of Aulla. The house consists of a main unit upstairs which has two bedrooms and is all on one level and an independent space downstairs which consists of a large kitchen/dining/sitting room, bathroom and a storage room which could be used as a bedroom.

The house is set in a small sweet village, on a 'no-through road' and it is approached through electric gates, with private parking, into a wonderful courtyard with wide-open views over the rolling countryside. The courtyard is in full sun for much of the day. External stairs lead up from the courtyard to a full-width balcony, perfect for an aperitivo. The front door of the house is from the balcony on the upper level. The door leads into a welcoming hallway with a large living room, dining area, a charming and fully equipped kitchen, then on through to two bedrooms and a bathroom. This is all on one level and the condition is immaculate.

From the courtyard level there is an entry into a 'taverna'. This is a beautifully equipped sitting room/living room/ kitchen area, an easy space to relax and entertain in. This flows through to a bathroom and another room, which could be used as an additional bedroom. This has its own entrance from the courtyard so is perfect as a guest unit, or separate rental space. The courtyard offers exceptional views, is nicely finished with paving and planting. It is in a great private spot for barbecuing (there is a pizza oven) or just lazing in the sun. There are wonderful views. Little maintenance is required and this would make a great option as a 'lock up and leave' holiday house or rental property as it can be used as one space, or two independent units. This house is ideally located, offering exceptional peace and tranquility, yet close to all amenities.

Aulla is one the largest towns in Lunigiana; it has a good selection of shops, supermarkets, medical centre, public transport and links to the motorway. The historic town centre is the site of a marble fountain built in the year of Italian unity and the 16th century fortress called La Brunella is perched on a hill overlooking the town. The fortress now houses the Museum of Natural History of Lunigiana. Enjoy the colourful market hosted in the town centre every Saturday morning. Lunigiana is a magical part of Tuscany. The rolling landscape is liberally sprinkled with castles of Medici or Malaspina vintage and for lovers of the coast the sea is only half an hour away. Lunigiana is special and has been likened to a magical kingdom. The golden sandy beaches around Lerici and the pebble coves of the Cinque Terre 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 just over an hour away.

Distances: Aulla (motorway, station, supermarkets) 5 kms, Lerici (beaches) 25 kms, Cinque Terre 35 km, Lucca 80 kms, Pisa (airport) 90 km, Florence 150 kms.
