Description:
PRIVATE STRUCTURE (Lease only). Located within the park of Villa Torrigiani stands La Mandolata, an elegant farmhouse typical of the hills of Lucca, surrounded by a large garden bordered by multicoloured essences and with views hard to find for those who love the Renaissance period. The house, once a farm shed of Villa Torrigiani, has undergone skilful renovation and is the ideal place for relaxing in complete tranquillity and exploring one of the most beautiful places in Tuscany and the area of Lucca. Within its exposed-stone casing, alternating with plastered areas and with the typical windows of the former barn covered by the mandolata (typical terracotta lattice wall), coexist materials of Tuscan tradition such as ceilings with wooden beams and terracotta tiles, pietra serena and terracotta floors, and furnished with high-quality pieces and handmade wooden furniture. The air-conditioned bedrooms, all with ensuite or adjacent bathroom, the large, well-equipped kitchen, the warm and cosy living room, all make the dream of a perfect holiday come true. Outside, guests will be cheered by the beautiful garden that surrounds the house, embellished with elegant relaxation areas in a panoramic and quiet position, and by the splendid swimming pool with adjacent tennis court and an area dedicated to five-a-side football. The strategic location of the villa is ideal for those wishing to visit the wonders that Tuscany has to offer, with the proximity to Lucca and the motorway allowing you to easily and quickly reach historical towns and cities such as Florence, Pisa, Montecatini Terme, Montecarlo di Lucca, Collodi (the town of Pinocchio) and the nearby golden beaches of Versilia with elegant Forte dei Marmi. Near the property are numerous historic villas including nearby Villa Torrigiani which can still be visited today together with its wonderful garden, renowned for being one of the most beautiful gardens in Italy. For wellness fans, just 45 minutes away is Grotta Giusti with its cave baths or Montecatini Terme renowned for its healing waters.
