At the summit of one of the highest hills in the Pisa area, in a dominant position with a 360-degree view of the medieval castle of Lari, this 2016 complex was designed by architect Alberto Bartalini, creator of Andrea Bocelli's Teatro del Silenzio, and built by architect Daniele Luci. The property is the result of converting an old agricultural building into a 1,165-sqm complex divided into a main villa and two annexes, featuring five bedrooms, nine bathrooms, an 80-sqm bio-design swimming pool with a hot tub, an A4 energy rating, integrated home automation, and a comprehensive security system. The architectural language smoothly combines traditional Tuscan building materials such as stone, wood, terracotta tiles, and iron with top-tier contemporary solutions, resulting in a design that compromises neither comfort nor local identity. Access is through a driveway gate with a wrought-iron fence atop a travertine wall, opening onto an internal driveway illuminated by cast-iron lampposts and perimeter night lighting. The first structure encountered from the gate houses a garage, laundry room, and utility room on the ground floor, plus an additional garage with a heat pump boiler in the basement. The second structure is the heart of outdoor living: the loggia, with its classic Tuscan-style wood and terracotta tile ceiling, has been enclosed with a folding glass system that can open completely to the garden. It houses a brick oven, gas burners, a refrigerator, a dishwasher, and a sink, creating a fully equipped kitchen environment ideal for hosting lunches and dinners throughout spring and summer. The swimming pool measures approximately 80 sqm and includes a hot tub area with air insufflation, a solution that simulates the effect of a natural bio-lake, which is also reflected in the surrounding garden. The 4,000-sqm garden is meticulously landscaped: cypresses, ash trees, olive trees, pines, holm oaks, fruit trees, citrus plants in large terracotta basins, and gazebos with umbrellas complete a botanical landscape of great consistency and beauty.
