For sale villa in Lari Toscana

A three level villa is for sale with swimming pool, limonaia and land on the edge of the historic centre of Lari, Pisa. The elegant eight bedroom property finished in soft ochre stone is surrounded by a well-kept garden in the Italian formal style, shielded by stone walls and planted with hydrangeas ensuring privacy and peace. The villa exudes an atmosphere of comfort and class; it has a traditional and functional composition displaying the typical symmetry of the late 19th century Art Nouveau style. Characteristic features include arched windows and traditional shutters, an imposing open stone fireplace, a cellar, classical warm terracotta flooring and exposed brick and timber ceilings. Modern additions include contemporary kitchen, bathrooms with freestanding marble bath and walk-in showers, a billiard room, ample dining space and a generous swimming pool with tiled deck overlooking rolling green hills. The village of Lari is walled with three access doors and flanked by the imposing bulk of the Vicari Castle; the latter an important military garrison. Today ceremonies and weddings take place here and it is also an important dynamic and interactive museum. In the surrounding countryside, paths allow easy immersion into the green countryside and the discovery of charming spa villages such as Casciana Terme.
