Villa Casa di Lusso, Pistoia, Tuscany.
Nestled within lush green surroundings adorned with Mediterranean flora, this villa boasts an enchanting outdoor pool and an expansive garden. Nestled amid its meticulously tended gardens, it also features a quaint chapel and ample external parking. Originally established as a plantation in the year 1500, its design has been meticulously curated to evoke the historical context, resulting in an elegant style characterized by quality washed wooden boards and terracotta floors. Airy wood-beamed ceilings grace the interior spaces. Over the past five centuries, this property has changed hands only rarely. The private chapel, still a place of sanctity, harks back to the early 1600s. In 2001, the current owners acquired the villa, embarking on an extensive nine-year restoration project in 2002. Aesthetically, the house pays homage to traditional architectural typologies and employs traditional materials, including golden marble, serene stone, and locally sourced stone. Combining elements of both traditional and modern Italian architecture, it offers a contemporary yet highly comfortable retreat, exuding an elegant ambiance and a warm, inviting atmosphere.
The serene environs of this property make it a perfect choice for guests who cherish privacy and nature while desiring proximity to Tuscany's most sought-after destinations. Conveniently situated between Lucca and Florence, with excellent rail connections to Rome, Naples, Venice, and Milan, this property is an ideal base for those eager to explore numerous landmarks. Your Italian adventure commences within the villa, with a charming patio where you can relax, savor music, or enjoy an aperitif bathed in the warm hues of the setting sun. The property's surroundings offer opportunities for leisurely strolls, ranging from easy walks on flat terrain to more challenging paths leading to the village of Montecatini Alto in approximately 40 minutes. Adjacent to the swimming pool area, you have the option to create a space for massages or fitness activities, complete with yoga, Pilates, and meditation instructors.
