LA DAMA DEL BOSCO 8+3

Toscana - Lucca - PIETRASANTA

Description:

RECEPTIVE STRUCTURE (CIR CODE: 046024LTI0059). La Dama del Bosco stands on the hills above Pietrasanta, among a small group of houses, inheritors of a small medieval borgo. The property overlooks the long Versilia coast and, looking towards the west, it is also possible to see the Gulf of Lerici. Surrounded by a wood of centuries-old chestnut trees, the house is located halfway between the golden beaches and the white Apuan Alps, adorned like a crown by the quarries of the renowned Carrara marble. On arrival you will find three houses in front of you, yours is the central one, with living area, swimming pool and garden at the rear, with maximum privacy, for your unforgettable holiday very close to the borgo of Capriglia. The property is an excellent starting point for countless routes along which you will discover unique corners that will give you unforgettable moments of relaxation, framing memorable views. The house has been completely renovated by the owners, following an accurate project that has perfectly combined tradition and modernity, providing the guidelines for the restoration. However, it was decided to preserve traditional Tuscan materials such as pietra serena, ceilings with exposed beams and tiles, refined finishes of the internal walls. All the rooms have been lightened with simple elegant furniture, enhanced in perfect harmony with the pastel tones of the walls and with the precious decorative details that enrich every corner of the house, creating a hospitable atmosphere. The location of the house will allow you to reach the renowned destinations of the coast such as nearby Pietrasanta, Forte dei Marmi, Viareggio, Lerici and the Cinque Terre, UNESCO World Heritage site, as well as the famous tourist towns of Tuscany like Florence, Lucca, Pisa, Montecatini Terme or Torre del Lago overlooking Lake Massaciuccoli which was the home and source of inspiration of the great Maestro Giacomo Puccini, without forgetting nearby Colonnata, famous for its IGP lard.

TO DO

Location and distances


The property is located at the edge of the hamlet of Capriglia and Pietrasanta (about 5 km away), where you can find all shops and useful services. La Dama del Bosco is immersed in the beautiful countryside of the Versilia hills, in an area to the north of Tuscany, delimited to the west by the Apuan Alps and to the east by the San Rossore Natural Park with Lake Massaciuccoli, the largest in Tuscany and located within a naturalistic oasis where there are many species of birds and which can be traversed by boat. The proximity to the Tyrrhenian coast allows you to combine fun, culture, scenic beauty and a sea with stupendous beaches. From the property it is possible to reach some of the most beautiful places in the surroundings. Among these, queen is certainly Pietrasanta, the main town of Versilia, known for its high artistic rank. Here is realised the refined processing of marble, extracted from the quarries of the Apuan Alps, and bronze, which attracts artists from all over the world. Trendy Forte del Marmi, on the other hand, is built on the remains of the fort of the same name that stands in the centre of the town and is the most fashionable resort in Versilia thanks to its beaches, luxury shops and famous night clubs. Well worth mentioning is Viareggio, "the pearl of the Tyrrhenian", which offers a variability of landscapes, between sea and mountains, fine cuisine and a series of international cultural events and manifestations, including musical events, the magical Carnival, literary awards and film events. As an alternative to days spent on the beach you could travel the Val Freddana, along the road of oil and wine, to the exquisite city of Lucca, with its extensive historic medieval centre, completely surrounded by Renaissance walls. Within the town, in addition to the elliptical Piazza dell'Anfiteatro, there are buildings of great artistic and religious importance such as the Cathedral of San Martino, the Church of San Michele in Foro and the Basilica of San Frediano. Just outside Lucca, about ten kilometres away, are splendid villas with marvellous gardens such as Palazzo Mansi, the Villa of Paolo Guinigi, Palazzo Moriconi-Pfanner and finally, the birthplace of the composer Giacomo Puccini, today a museum with documents and mementos of the great Maestro. In his honour, every year, an important appointment with opera is held, just a few kilometres from the property: the Puccini Festival, which takes place in Torre del Lago, where the composer lived for many years and wrote many of his works. Villa Puccini (open to the public and visitable) stands on a hillock overlooking the lake of Massaciuccoli and today houses the musician's tomb. In your free time it is possible to practice various sports thanks to the many well-equipped facilities in the area, such as the golf course of the famous Versilia Golf Club. In the surrounding areas, thanks to easy access to the motorway via the Versilia exit (4 km), Tuscany offers the opportunity to visit both small, typically medieval, borghi as well as famous art towns such as Florence, Pisa, Lucca, Volterra, San Gimignano, Vinci, Bolgheri, Portofino, the Cinque Terre
