6 bedrooms villa, 700 m²

Camaiore, Lucca (province)

Versilia

VILLA FORNACE - Located in an area of old factories just 1.5 km from the centre of Camaiore, this historic villa dating back to 1518, originally owned by the clergy and later by important families in the area, was frequently visited by famous Italian intellectuals and jealously guards the evidence of this.
During the early 2000s, the villa underwent meticulous renovation and restoration, and today it is in excellent condition, being used as a B&B with an adjoining restaurant.
The villa, for sale in the Tuscan hills of Camaiore, is spread over three floors connected by an internal staircase, for a total of approximately 700 square metres. The first and second floors are a residential property, while the ground floor is classified as a commercial activity, currently a restaurant, with the possibility of changing its use to residential as it was originally.
The villa is part of a larger condominium complex, consisting of other residential properties, green spaces, parking spaces and two 12 x 6 metre swimming pools with sunbathing areas, all for common use. The common areas are managed by a maintenance technician for the entire complex and the condominium fees for the property for sale are approximately €1,000 per month.
This is an ideal situation for those who want to live in a historic villa, surrounded by greenery but not in an isolated location, a short walk from the centre of Camaiore, without having to maintain the green spaces, swimming pools and all the common areas.
The villa has exclusive ownership of the garden surrounding the villa, an additional plot of land of approximately 1 hectare on which it is possible to build a private swimming pool, 13 parking spaces and two large cellars for use as storage and laundry rooms.
As it is used as a B&B and accommodation facility, the villa has a living area, a bathroom, rooms used as a dining room for catering, an office space, a large industrial kitchen with adjoining pantry, changing rooms and a bathroom on the ground floor, as well as a large outdoor veranda for al fresco dining, connected to the well-kept garden.
The first floor, with a separate entrance, is built around the stairwell and currently houses three suites of different sizes, consisting of a sitting room with living area, a bathroom and a double bedroom. The same layout can be found on the second and top floors.
With minor architectural modifications, thanks to the flexibility of the interior spaces, it would be possible to return to the original use, with the rooms being used more specifically as a residential villa and manor house.
This exclusive historic property, for sale in Tuscany, is the ideal solution for those looking for a prestigious main residence, a holiday home in the hills but close to amenities and the Versilia coast, or for those who would like to continue the existing hospitality business, which currently has a high profitability thanks to tourist rentals and the well-established restaurant business.
