Villa in vendita a Fivizzano

This lovely stone, character cottage sits in a pretty village in the Lunigiana hills in northern Tuscany, close to the market town of Fivizzano. On the main level is a sitting room which opens onto a spacious terrace and with a few steps downs is another terrace, all with great views over the rooftops to the Apuane mountains and just perfect for 'al fresco' dining and to enjoy the sunshine. There is also a good space for a kitchen which would need to be installed and is not included in the sale, but the plumbing and electrics are ready. L'Architrave can put you in touch with an excellent team to help you with this. Also on this level is a double bedroom and a bathroom. Upstairs is a good attic bedroom with wooden ceiling, which opens onto its own terrace.

The property is situated at the edge of a village. The larger town of Fivizzano, a medieval walled town with a central cobbled piazza and often referred to as the Florence of Lunigiana, is just 8 km away. The bustling town hosts many cultural events over the summer with concerts in the piazza and reenactments of medieval parades. With its musical heritage the town also attracts international musicians during its annual folk music festival. There is a hospital, shops and restaurants in the town. The rolling landscape is liberally sprinkled with castles of Medici or Malaspina vintage and for lovers of the coast the sea is only a short hop away. The golden sandy beaches around Lerici and the pebble coves of the Cinque Terre are ideal for swimming and sailing. The area is criss-crossed with marked footpaths for walks to the hills and mountains. The airports of Pisa, Parma and Genova are all just over an hour away.
