Single family villa via di Pettinaglia, 25, Marlia, Capannori

In a quiet and sunny countryside setting a few km from the city of Lucca we offer for sale this stately and elegant 18th century villa, once the residence of the Bishop of Lucca. The structure has maintained its ancient charm thanks to a conservative restoration of the ancient construction materials and the old internal and external infrastructures such as the ancient terracotta and stone floors, niches in the walls, original hearths and ovens, the bell on the roof and the old chapel ; furthermore, through an intelligent arrangement of volumes and separations between rooms, it lends itself - today as then - to various hospitality solutions. Inside it is possible to relive the ancient periods and local history, so scrupulous was the care taken in the restoration. The property has been used, and can still be used, as a Bed & Breakfast structure, thanks to its housing flexibility and its strategic location in one of the most evocative areas of Tuscany, close to the hills of Lucca, a few km from Lucca and the main Tuscan cities of art (Pisa, Pistoia, Florence), the sea of Versilia, as well as the most famous Tuscan ski resorts and the ancient villages of Garfagnana and the Pistoiese Mountains.
