Description:
PRIVATE STRUCTURE Villa Manganelli is located near Camaiore, in La Vallina, a place rich in history, linked to the Borbone royal family. The villa takes its name from the artist Giovanni Manganelli, known as the " Water Sculptor". At the beginning of the 1970s, the illustrious Professor Giannino Forni, stepfather of the sculptor, purchased part of the La Vallina estate from Prince Borbone Parma and built the current villa there, using it as a family residence. Here the artistic activity of Maestro Manganelli began and some sculptural works are still exhibited both inside and outside the villa. Located in a residential and naturalistic context, the villa guarantees absolute privacy. At the same time, it allows guests to visit the most popular tourist destinations in Tuscany, such as the beaches of Forte dei Marmi, Pietrasanta and many others as well as being no more than twenty minutes from Pisa international airport. The refined interiors, characterised by fine furnishings, welcome guests into elegant rooms, with great attention paid to detail and, at the same time, equipped with modern comforts. The pride of the property is the large veranda, a place flooded with light, enclosed by large windows and with a view that dominates the entire garden. Inside it is exhibited the "Sfinge", the work of Maestro Manganelli, and the furnishings, in line with the rest of the villa, are elegant and refined. The veranda is therefore an elegant and comfortable setting to be enjoyed in all seasons. Villa Manganelli is the ideal solution for those wishing to spend a holiday of privacy and tranquillity without forgoing the vivacity and events offered by the most renowned nearby tourist and seaside destinations of Tuscany.

The garden boasts a rich assortment of trees and plants such as oaks, olives, cypresses, firs, palms and various fruit trees (orange, lemon, apricot and many others), as well as flowering plants such as oleanders, mimosas and roses. Along the entrance drive is the golf hole (complete with starting tees, fairways, bunkers and green) against which Maestro Manganelli's monumental marble work "Delfini" forms the background. On the opposite side of the parking area, past a white wrought-iron gate, you can walk down a small slope with a railing that leads to the lower part of the garden which, bordered by tall trees and an Asian bamboo hedge guaranteeing privacy, encloses the swimming pool-solarium area and various shaded areas.
