A total of 230 m sq plus garage and cellar set in land with vines, olive and fruit trees.

Steps from the terrace lead to a patio area with outdoor kitchen, pergola and lovely views over the hills and garden with vineyard.

The upper level has independent access from a large private terrace to a kitchen, living room, bathroom and bedroom. This level offers potential to modernize with cosmetic work.

The terrace offers access to the large level garden with olive and fruit trees. This land can also be accessed at the back from the small lane. Potential for pool.

There are steps from the garden down to the old wine cellars.

The property has views to the old stone bell tower that dominates the village and the church is next door across a small piazza.

The small hamlet is set on a hillside and dominates the surrounding countryside and the property was part of a medieval convent.

The property offers access to Aulla (15 minutes) with supermarkets, motorway access and train station.

The town of Fosdinovo (20 minutes) is a walled town dominated by a Malaspina Castle dating back to the fourteenth century. The town is famous for its embroidery on precious linen and Pope Francis’s robe was embroidered by the ladies of Fosdinovo. The town overlooking the beaches of the Versilia coast is reached by a scenic road that meanders through the olive groves above the town of Sarzana.

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.
