Detached villa with light and bright living areas, two double bedrooms and a pretty garden with a flat, lawned area and with a spectacular view of medieval castle nearby, and also over the green hills and valley.

Situated at the edge of a character village known for its medieval Malaspina castle, the property is approached via its own gated driveway which provides parking for at least two cars. The entrance is through the front garden which has steps up to the front terrace leading to the main door into the hallway. There is also a side door entrance.

Inside, there is a bright living room, large kitchen with ample space for a table and there is also a downstairs bathroom. Upstairs, there are two light double bedrooms both with french windows leading with juliet balcony with panoramic views of the valley and medieval castle. Also a good bathroom with bath and shower. Central heating.

To the rear there is flat land with room to install a swimming pool (subject to planning). The rear garden is accessible from both the upstairs and downstairs levels.

The property is located just 3 km from the picturesque town of Licciana Nardi where there are shops, coffee bars and a lovely piazza. Licciana Nardi in Lunigiana is a small town in the Taverone valley with 13th century pedestrian street (the 'borgo') 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 the nobles had direct access to prayer and dealings with the local priest. There is also a bank, schools, restaurants and medical facilities. Licciana has a river running through it which offers a great recreational space in the summer months with beautiful river swimming in the clear rock pools. The nearby village of Monti has a castle on the hill above and offers a good selection of amenities.

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 spectacular Ligurian coastline is close by. The golden sandy beaches around Lerici and the pebble coves of the Cinque Terre are ideal for swimming and sailing in the summer. 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.
