description
Prestigious villa located in Versilia, included in the Migliarino-San Rossore-Massaciuccoli Natural Park in a lagoon area on the edge of Lake Massaciuccoli.
In 1887 the Marquis Carlo Benedetto Ginori Lisci, owner of the famous Florentine pottery of the same name, bought the villa and carried out a radical renovation of the buildings and the surrounding garden. Since that time the villa has always remained the property of the family.
The architectural style chosen was the Tuscan-Neo-Gothic.
The interiors of the main villa have been enriched by the beautiful art-nouveau frescoes by Francesco Fanelli, painter of the Giovanni Fattori circle.
The villa has always been an important cultural point of the entire Versilia area and frequented by great artists including Giacomo Puccini.
Giacomo Puccini was a regular visitor to the villa and a great friend of the Marquis Ginori, so much so that he dedicated one of his most famous works to him: La Bohème.
The property consists of the main villa, as well as three other independent houses, the private chapel, the lemon house and some storage rooms.
The main villa in the exquisite neo-Gothic style, measures approximately 1,200 gross square meters and is built partly on the mainland and partly on the water, with an enchanting landing stage covered with vaulted ceilings.
It is in fact possible to access the boats directly from home and reach Torre del Lago Puccini or the port of Viareggio by water.
It is spread over 4 levels with warehouses and shelter for boats on the ground floor, the representative part on the first floor with a magnificent porch, a large living room with large windows and a dining room with original decorations and a winter garden. There is also a kitchen, a bathroom and a second entrance.
On the second floor the bedrooms with bathrooms.
On the third floor the attics with windows and perfectly usable as bedrooms. On the top of the roof the tower from which you can enjoy a splendid panorama.
The villa is surrounded by a fairytale garden with a pond for water lilies and numerous exotic plants.
The other three units consist of an eighteenth-century building on three levels beyond the attic almost entirely renovated for an area of about 800 square meters, a farmhouse to be completely restored for an area of about 400 square meters and a third partially renovated detached house with a large hall for an area of about 280 square meters.
There is also a loft of about 185 square meters, the lemon house of about 40 square meters, a study of about 40 square meters and the chapel.Numerous parking spaces.
Incredible opportunity to acquire a property of great historical value in a unique natural setting, a short distance from the exclusive beaches of Forte dei Marmi and the renowned cities of Lucca, Florence and Pisa.
