Lovely, spacious property, full of character with terraces, pretty garden and swimming pool. The property offers spacious accommodation and has been restored maintaining the Tuscan character of the building. Set at the edge of a village with superb views, only 10 mins from Fivizzano.

Beautiful house, (300 sqm, over 3,000 sqft) full of charm and character, with original floors, stone window surrounds and a great feeling of space, this home is presented as a fully restored property and is in excellent condition. The two terraces are south-west facing with stunning views.

The house is entered off a stone flagged courtyard into a spacious entrance hall which leads into a cosy living area with fireplace with door to a beautiful character sitting room with huge windows which look out to the garden and flood the room with light and sun. A wood burning stove provides a cosy atmosphere for the chillier months. There is a fully fitted kitchen with doors to a terrace with views over the pretty garden and pool.

A particular delight are the old 'cantina' (storerooms) on the lower level. These five rooms offer exceptional additional space for games or entertaining or storage spaces. Currently one is used as a summer room with exposed stone walls and beamed ceiling, one is plumbed with washing machine and houses the boiler. A covered loggia with pizza oven is ideal for outdoor dining in this sociable area.

Fivizzano is a medieval walled town with a central cobbled piazza and is often referred to as the Florence of Lunigiana. The bustling town hosts many cultural events over the summer with concerts in the piazza and reenactments of medieval parades. With its musical heritage the town also attracts international musicians during its annual folk music festival. There is a weekly market in the Medici piazza on Tuesdays and also a hospital, shops and restaurants in the town.

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 half-an-hour away. The golden sandy beaches around Lerici and the pebble coves of the Cinque Terre are ideal for swimming and sailing and are full of life with busy coffee bars, restaurants and shops . 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.
