Unique Features:
1. This detached villa, once a hay barn, has been lovingly converted by me into a comfortable home with an authentic Tuscan atmosphere, featuring chestnut wood beams, 'cotto' tiles, and a Corten steel banister. The villa is located just below the medieval borgo Lucardo.
2. From the large terrace at the back, you can enjoy the magnificent views over the Chianti (with sunrise), and at the front over the Apuan Alps (with picturesque sunsets).
3. For musicians: The villa is detached, so you can play the Pleyel grand piano or the violin provided without disturbance – whether it's 10 am or late at night.
Please note: This is my own home, decorated with antique and distinctive furniture. It is cozy and full of character, but not a luxury resort. I enjoy hosting guests who are looking for tranquility and authenticity – just like me.
