Description:

PRIVATE STRUCTURE (lease only). La Mandolata is a restored Tuscan farmhouse located within the grounds of Villa Torrigiani, just 12 km from Lucca and a short drive from sandy beaches on the Versilia coast. Once used as an agricultural outbuilding, the house has been skilfully renovated to preserve traditional architectural features including exposed stonework, terracotta floors and a characteristic mandolata lattice wall. Furnished in traditional style and adorned with artworks, the colourful interiors feature four double bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms, a large kitchen, living areas, and air conditioning throughout the sleeping areas. Outdoors, the house opens onto a portico with a dining and lounge area overlooking the garden. Equipped for sports and relaxation, the villa is equipped with a swimming pool, a tennis court with rackets provided, and a small five-a-side football area. The location is ideal for exploring Lucca, Pisa, Florence, Montecatini Terme and the historic villas nearby, including the renowned Villa Torrigiani and its landscaped gardens.
