12 bedrooms villa, 2800 m²

Camaiore, Lucca (province)

Versilia

This extraordinary complex for sale, with a rich and fascinating history, is located in the Tuscan province of Lucca, in Camaiore.
Built in Roman times as a guard station, today the property, with a total internal surface of around 2,800 square meters, consists of a large manor house from the Bourbon period surrounded by a garden with centuries-old olive trees, one of which is millennial, completed by a tower, various outbuildings and buildings, former religious buildings and agricultural land.
The main villa has a rectangular plan and is on three levels connected by an internal staircase, with an elegant noble floor which includes an entrance hallway, kitchen, three living rooms, four bedrooms and two bathrooms. The tower, brought to light in the fifteenth century on the original basement, is spread over five levels of over 60 square meters each. The nucleus of the building behind it dates back to the 16th century, and subsequently the estate was enriched at the behest of the Grand Dukes of Tuscany by interventions ranging from the Renaissance period to 1780, when the Bourbon noble family Parma took over as owner. It will be the Bourbons who will complete the great reclamation work begun in Roman times: among the many enrichments we mention the creation of we find a wonderful naturalistic garden where exotic and rare plants were cared for and cultivated, a plate of the School of Robbia fixed on the back of the tower, a marble well from Roman times, the marble altar with an eighteenth-century statue of the Madonna, wooden and plaster panels of the Via Crucis, frescoes on the internal walls depicting the villa itself.
The story told by this property for sale is truly extraordinary and millenary: despite its undoubted historical significance, the property is free from any restoration and lends itself to multiple uses, from the receptive tourist to the residential one.
