GENERAL DESCRIPTION:

In an exclusive panoramic position in the picturesque hills of Versilia, between the majestic Apuan Alps and the sparkling Mediterranean Sea, lies an iconic estate with roots dating back to the 15th century. Just a ten-minute drive from Pietrasanta, renowned as the birthplace of many artists including the famous Michelangelo Buonarroti, this property embodies timeless charm.

Originally built by the Simi family, influential local marble merchants, the villa was transformed in the 1700s when it passed into the hands of the noble Pisani family. Under their management, the estate was enlarged and meticulously reconstructed in 1778. Surrounded by charming two-storey Italian gardens and set in an enchanting woodland setting, the estate covers an area of over 4,000 m2 and includes the main residence and outbuildings.

The U-shaped layout of the villa comprises approximately 500 m2 on two levels, with a further 80 m2 in the basement. On the ground floor of the main residence, there is a large entrance hall, an impressive chapel, a store room, a bathroom, a library, a dining room and a kitchen. Up two flights of stairs to the first floor, there is a stunning living room, four bedrooms, a walk-in wardrobe, an office, a bathroom and three cupboards. The basement retains its historic charm with a cellar with an original rammed earth floor, a storage room and a laundry room.

The property has two stone paved terraces, two Italian gardens on different levels and a lovely pond with goldfish and lilies. Adjacent to the chapel on the east side is a garden teeming with medicinal plants, aromatic herbs and flowering citrus trees. The upper part of the property is a delightful green space with vegetable gardens, lavender, and lemon trees and ample space for a potential swimming pool area.

This truly unique property blends harmoniously with its surroundings and has retained its antique charm throughout the years. It stands as a testament to a bygone era, exuding an enduring and captivating old-world charm.
