6 bedrooms villa, 1447 m²

Rosignano Marittimo, Livorno (province)

We can find this splendid property just a few kilometres from the sea. The excellent location guarantees peace and quiet, as it is far from the hustle and bustle of the city centre, but easily accessible and not too far from the sea. Passing the main gate there is a driveway that runs alongside the building and where you access the external courtyard. From here you can admire the two olive groves, which stretch down to the main road, and as sentinels flank the main body of the property. Passing through a further gate, we are immediately welcomed into the inner courtyard. On the ground floor there is a room that was once used as an oil mill and a further area that was once intended as a cellar. The area that was intended to be used as a cellar is one metre lower than the other. A specular area was intended as warehouse and storage use while in the underground area in centre of the court there is an antique water cistern which was once used to collect wastewater. Entering the manor house, it is inevitable not to be seduced by the original charm of the structure, where we can still breathe the nobility who lived within these walls. The square footage of the structure is very important and is spread over two levels. On the ground floor there is an atrium, a room used as a study, a hallway with toilet, a generous dining area, dining room and kitchen. On the first floor, there are 6 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and a large living room area. From the courtyard, there is also access to a beautiful terrace overlooking the back area of the structure. Under this large suspended terrace there are other rooms intended for warehouse and storage use. To complete the property there is another apartment, which is accessed by an external door to the courtyard, reserved as accommodation for the warden, consisting of living area, bathroom, living room and double bedroom. The villa was originally a Leopoldine inn and dates back to the sixteenth century, then enlarged in 1800. The structure needs renovation, but the generous interior spaces favour an easy transformation into accommodation facilities of particular charm. Rif. V1219
