Situated amidst the greenery of the hillside, Villetta Il Castello is ideal for a couple looking for a romantic hideaway which is private but not secluded and still within easy reach of the medieval town of Pietrasanta, the ancient walled city of Lucca, Renaissance packed Florence and chic Forte dei Marmi with it's elegant beach clubs.
It is unusual to find a villa for two persons with use of a private pool but this property has everything…the views, the charm, the romantic atmosphere and an enchanting garden with Jacuzzi rock pool which is reached across a small stone pathway between the main entrance to the house and an iron gate. Once inside the private garden you are in a world of your own, surrounded by an array of flowers, trees and plants including roses, blossoms, olive and citrus trees. There is a vine covered eating area with chandelier style lighting so you can even dine ‘al fresco' in the evening.
The property is one of a small cluster of ancient village houses which cling to the hillside and originally date back to the 16th century. The villetta has been lovingly restored, maintaining many original features and furnished with a mixture of traditional antique style pieces and contemporary touches to create a charming bijoux style atmosphere.
Built in natural stone, and set on three floors, entrance is into the cosy living area with antique terracotta tiled floors and wooden beamed ceilings, a small terrace leads off the living area and looks out on to the splendid panorama…ideal for enjoying an apperitivo whilst enjoying the view!
The traditional style kitchen is also on the ground floor of the villetta, set off the living room. Stunning views out of the kitchen window and a dark wooden dining table in the middle of the small, but well equipped room. (Dishwasher in kitchen)
The natural stone staircase leads to the double bedroom on the first floor with its wrought iron bedhead, wooden beamed ceilings, stunning vista from the window and the convenience of an en-suite service room.
The basement of the village house is reached by the stone staircase and is where you will find the bathroom with marble walls & work-surfaces made from the finest Carrara marble, a butler style sink, Jacuzzi bath tub and shower cubicle. There is also a dressing room and a further room which has a weights machine ideal for those who want to work off all that pasta in the cool basement area!
There is a separate outbuilding which is used as a laundry room opposite the main house. Private parking space with canopy on the approach road.
