3 bedrooms house, 90 m²

Bagni di Lucca, Lucca (province)

Tucked along one of the narrow, cobbled lanes of the picturesque village of Limano, this charming stone-built village house offers the perfect blend of authenticity, simplicity, and potential. Lovingly preserved, the home retains many original Tuscan features — from terracotta cotto floors and wood-beamed ceilings, to exposed stone walls that speak to the building’s historic roots and craftsmanship.
Set in a peaceful, elevated position, the house is part of a vibrant village community. Limano is a traditional, lived-in village known for its quiet beauty and welcoming atmosphere. In the evenings, locals and visitors gather at the small "circolo" bar, a cornerstone of village life where stories are shared over a glass of wine and the spirit of community is always present.
You enter the house into a central hallway, which opens onto a warm and inviting eat-in kitchen — the heart of the home. One of the standout features of the property is that the kitchen opens directly onto a private terrace, making it ideal for al fresco dining, whether under the morning sun or candlelight in the evening. This connection between indoor and outdoor living is rare and adds an intimate charm to the home.
A short flight of stone stairs, crafted from the prized "Pietra di Matraia" — a rare, dark stone historically quarried near Lucca — leads to the first floor, where you’ll find three bedrooms and a family bathroom. The roof appears to be in solid condition, although bitumen paper is not visible; still, it has been well cared for and remains serviceable.
Beneath the house are three traditional cellars, accessible directly from the dining area. These atmospheric spaces provide excellent storage or could be repurposed creatively. Currently, one cellar is used as a laundry room, another as a boiler room (please note: the boiler is not in working condition), and the third remains a flexible space ready for future use — perhaps a wine cellar, workshop, or additional utility area.
This is the kind of home that invites you to slow down and savour each day. With its warm character, intimate village setting, and proximity to nature, it offers an ideal base for those seeking a peaceful Tuscan escape. From here, you can easily explore the surrounding forests and trails, take short drives to Bagni di Lucca’s thermal spas, or simply enjoy the rhythm of daily life in an authentic hillside community.
Whether you're dreaming of a renovation project with character or a tranquil retreat away from the rush, this stone house in Limano is a rare opportunity to reconnect with the essence of Tuscany.
