VILLA MANGANELLI 12

Toscana - Lucca - CAMAIORE

Description:

PRIVATE STRUCTURE (lease only). Villa Manganelli is located near Camaiore, in La Vallina, a place rich in history, linked to the Borbone royal family. The villa takes its name from the artist Giovanni Manganelli, known as the " Water Sculptor". At the beginning of the 1970s, the illustrious Professor Giannino Forni, stepfather of the sculptor, purchased part of the La Vallina estate from Prince Borbone Parma and built the current villa there, using it as a family residence. Here the artistic activity of Maestro Manganelli began and some sculptural works are still exhibited both inside and outside the villa. Located in a residential and naturalistic context, the villa guarantees absolute privacy. At the same time, it allows guests to visit the most popular tourist destinations in Tuscany, such as the beaches of Forte dei Marmi, Pietrasanta and many others as well as being no more than twenty minutes from Pisa international airport. The refined interiors, characterised by fine furnishings, welcome guests into elegant rooms, with great attention paid to detail and, at the same time, equipped with modern comforts. The pride of the property is the large veranda, a place flooded with light, enclosed by large windows and with a view that dominates the entire garden. Inside it is exhibited the "Sfinge", the work of Maestro Manganelli, and the furnishings, in line with the rest of the villa, are elegant and refined. The veranda is therefore an elegant and comfortable setting to be enjoyed in all seasons. Villa Manganelli is the ideal solution for those wishing to spend a holiday of privacy and tranquillity without forgoing the vivacity and events offered by the most renowned nearby tourist and seaside destinations of Tuscany.

VILLA MANGANELLI HAS BEEN SUBJECTED TO A CHECK-UP BY A TECHNICAL RESPONSIBLE BEFORE THE BEGINNING OF THE SEASON, TO ENSURE CONSISTENCY OF THE DESCRIPTION, ACCESSORIES LISTED ON THIS PAGE AND THEIR PRESENT STATE OF OPERATION/MAINTENANCE, TO GUARANTEE QUALITY, CLEANLINESS AND COMFORTS TO ALL CLIENTS WHO WILL STAY HERE.

Interior:

Villa Manganelli has three floors for a total area of approximately 450 sq m. The main entrance is located on the basement floor. It is accessed through a portico furnished with sofas and adorned with three works of Maestro Manganelli: "Tuffatrice", "Nuotatrice" and "Lancillotta" while his work "Narciso" is displayed in the large entrance hall. The basement floor is composed of a double bedroom with adjoining bathroom with double entrance equipped with tub, shower and toilet, another double bedroom, with access to the garden via a French window, fireplace (ornamental) and ensuite bathroom with shower, a single bedroom, an ample closet and a large living room-study-library. From the entrance and the lounge is a corridor with stairs leading up to the ground floor with the large veranda set up with living and dining areas, grand piano and study corner, with access to the garden via a French window and then down a few steps complete with banister. Also on the ground floor is a large living room with dining area, TV corner with fireplace (ornamental) and a sitting area with access to the veranda via French windows, as well as the sleeping area with a single bedroom, a bathroom with tub and a double bedroom with ensuite bathroom with shower. The floor is completed by the kitchen which is structured in two zones: an internal one with all the utensils, dishes, hob, fridge and small appliances and an external one, completely closed by large windows overlooking the garden and including an additional professional hob, sink, dishwasher, a worktop, ovens, pantry and a French window which leads, via an external staircase, down to the laundry area. Continuing up the stairs from the ground floor, you come to the attic floor, consisting of two large double bedrooms, one with fireplace (ornamental) and ensuite bathroom divided into two zones (shower zone and bath zone), while the other one has an ensuite bathroom with shower.

Park:

The park surrounding the villa, characterised by typical Mediterranean scrub, extends over an area of approximately 10.000 sq m. From the entrance gate, a drive leads to the portico which gives access to the ground floor. The garden boasts a rich assortment of trees and plants such as oaks, olives, cypresses, firs, palms and various fruit trees (orange, lemon, apricot and many others), as well as flowering plants such as oleanders, mimosas and roses. Along the entrance drive is the golf hole (complete with starting tees, fairways, bunkers and green) against which Maestro Manganelli's monumental marble work "Delfini" forms the background. On the opposite side of the parking area, past a white wrought-iron gate, you can walk down a small slope with a railing that leads to the lower part of the garden which, bordered by tall trees and an Asian bamboo hedge guaranteeing privacy, encloses the swimming pool-solarium area and various shaded areas. Please notice that photos are taken in spring, therefore flower blossoming, and the colours of the gardens' grass could be different at the moment of your arrival at the villa.

Swimming Pool:

Located in the lower part of the garden and reached down a small slope equipped with a railing, the swimming pool is set in a non-slip WPC deck of approximately 120 sq m, on which is also the 80 sq m solarium area, equipped with sunbeds. The rectangular pool, measuring 9.5 x 5 m with a constant depth of 1.30 m, is lined in PVC and has chlorine purification and a ladder for access to the water. There is a large illuminated and furnished canopy providing guests with every comfort. The pool is open from the last Saturday of April until the first Saturday of October.

Location and distances


Located in Versilia, on the hills of Camaiore, this residential and naturalistic context guarantees guests absolute privacy. At the same time, the villa is close to a small town that provides every type of service. No more than a quarter of an hour away are some of the most sought-after tourist destinations in Tuscany, such as the beaches of Forte dei Marmi, Pietrasanta, Viareggio and many others which with their lively social life and events will brighten up the guests' stay. If the coast offers social life and entertainment, the hinterland offers art, culture, history and traditions. An example of this is represented by the town of Pietrasanta, of medieval origin, which over time has been, and still is, a destination for artists from all over the world. A true open-air museum that provides, with its numerous galleries and squares, a continuous review of contemporary art of the highest level. Named "Little Athens" for the numerous artists who have decided to make it the seat of their artistic and personal life, including Fernando Botero, Giovanni Manganelli and Igor Mitoraj. Nature lovers can visit the park of the Apuan Alps, a mountain range whose peaks reach up to 2000 metres and whose paths offer a journey through a precious biodiversity in a continuous succession of unique panoramas. In the area of the Apuan Alps is the Grotta del Vento and the historic quarries of the prestigious Carrara marble from which the genius of Michelangelo created his most famous works such as "David", "La Pietà", "Moses" and many others.
