Independent villa with swimming pool and tennis court for 4 people in the Tuscan coast- Liguria border- close to Forte dei Marmi, Lucca and the Cinque Terre.
Right in the heart of Versilia, which inspired Puccini's melodies, the villa is an old Tuscan farmhouse tastefully restored and transformed into an original and beautiful villa a few metres from the wonderful owner.
Just inside the gate, which faces the white Apuan Alps, the leafy, splendid and huge park (35.000 sqm) is breathtaking.
Here, among the vast pines and holm-oaks, thrive hundreds of Mediterranean flowers, which the landlady personally tenders and which, magically, start blooming already in February thanks to the mild climate.
Set amongst the greenery, the fabulous swimming pool seems seasonless as well and is open all the year round.
The property is on two floors:
The park gives direct access to a bright living room in warm pastel colours with comfortable sofas and chairs, TV and stereo CD; the kitchenette is fully equipped with dishwasher, microwave and espresso coffee maker. A service bathroom (with washbasin and toilet) is also on this floor.
The wide windows of the living room face the charming portico just in front of the swimming pool, where the outside kitchen, with a barbecue, a wood-fired oven, an ancient washbasin and a large white Carrara marble table, is ideal for splendid and romantic dinners.
An easy stairway leads from the living room to the first floor, where there is a nice double bedroom (double bed can be split into two twin beds on request), a bright double bedroom with balcony, table and chairs, which offer a charming view on the swimming pool and park, and an lovely bathroom with shower.
The house is furnished with elegant simplicity and the vast outdoor area gives the opportunity of spending whole days outside in complete privacy.
Finally, the private tennis court and the five-a-side football court allow to tone up one's body.
The kind landlady receives her guests with a homely welcome and a light dinner.
On request, dinners can be served under the portico and around the swimming pool.
A mobile phone, embroidered towels, pool towels and breakfast (supplied but not served) are at the your disposal.
