Description
The delightful ‘Villa’ is situated in a very quiet countryside, on 2 minutes walk to the local shops and only 5 minutes drive or 15 minutes cycling along the river Serchio to the centre of Lucca.
It was built in the 18th century on the grounds/remains of the former hospital from the eleventh century along the famous pilgrim route “Via Francigena” to Rome.
The villa has been restored in a conservative manner to maintain the original values and brought it to a current ‘state of the art’ level. The roof tiles were removed, square around reinforced concreted, isolated and the antique tiles returned or exchanged; all the 40 (chestnut) windows were manually restored and new chestnut windows and outside doors have been added. At the east side, next to the kitchen, a new balcony terrace is built in the ‘villa’s stile’, using only antique materials. The central heating was replaced by a modern Viessmann high efficiency boiler on municipal gas.
It kept all the different fabulous ‘1900’ tiled floors and fully marble three level staircase in “art deco” stile. The dining room has an antique fireplace in “rococo stile”(+/- 1730). Furthermore the villa features the characteristic “terracotta” roof supports from the old noble Lucca Villa’s in the area.
