Corsanico, Hanglage; Fein Restauriertes Landhaus Mit Swimmingpool Und Nebengebäude.

Casale degli Archi, a property that truly reflects the spirit of its setting, deserves to be described in every detail:

Set in the hills of Corsanico, in a commanding and panoramic position, Casale degli Archi enjoys a particularly beautiful setting just a few kilometres from the beaches of Viareggio, Lido di Camaiore, Marina di Pietrasanta and Forte dei Marmi and from the walled city of Lucca.

The property extends over approximately 5,500 sqm of land, much of it level, with generous landscaped areas, an olive grove and a spectacular pool area overlooking the surrounding hills and the coastline.

From the moment of arrival, one of the property’s most distinctive features is immediately revealed: a stone-clad wall opens to provide access to a large underground garage of approximately 100 sqm, with ample space for four cars and several motorcycles. Continuing along the driveway, the main house comes into view, set within a private and peaceful environment that blends naturally into the surrounding landscape.

The main villa is arranged over two floors and offers approximately 348 sqm of interior space. The ground floor comprises a spacious living room with fireplace, a separate reading room also with fireplace, a large fully equipped kitchen with a fireplace designed for grilling, a dining room overlooking the garden, a guest bathroom, a double bedroom with en-suite bathroom, as well as a technical room and laundry. The first floor offers two generously sized principal bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom, together with a twin bedroom and a large study with fireplace, served by an additional full bathroom.

What truly distinguishes Casale degli Archi is the exceptional care taken in sourcing the materials used throughout the restoration of the property. The stone fireplaces originate from historic 17th-century villas, while the stone, terracotta and wooden floors were reclaimed from a period residence in Florence. The antique wooden doors, complete with their original ironmongery, were sourced with the same attention to authenticity. The fully insulated roof has been constructed using timber beams and period terracotta elements.
The result is a carefully executed restoration that combines the authentic character of traditional Tuscan architecture with contemporary systems and modern comfort.

Adjacent to the main villa is a charming guest house of approximately 74 sqm, ideal for guests or family members seeking greater privacy and independence. Built with particular attention to both materials and sustainability, it features walls made from clay bricks and wood fibre, timber ceilings and roof structures with terracotta elements, antique stone flooring and steel-framed windows. The ground floor comprises an open-plan kitchen, a living room with an antique 17th-century fireplace and a guest bathroom. The upper floor accommodates a double bedroom with fitted wardrobes and an en-suite bathroom.

In one of the most scenic parts of the estate lies the impressive 26-metre infinity pool, filled with salt water and positioned to take full advantage of the extraordinary views across the countryside towards the Versilia coastline. The surrounding area is finished with large-format stone slabs and a deck in Moso bamboo. A series of distinctive arched structures incorporates the pool facilities, including a changing room with shower and bathroom, a kitchen and additional service areas, while also creating attractive spaces for entertaining and relaxation.

The property is completed by a further independent building arranged over two floors and measuring approximately 120 sqm. Currently in fair condition and requiring renovation, it could be used as accommodation for staff or converted into additional guest accommodation, following the same architectural language and character that define the rest of the estate.

The entire property is fully fenced and surrounded by a carefully maintained garden, part of which is planted with olive trees. A private well supplies water both to the irrigation system and to the swimming pool. Particular attention has also been given to the property’s technical systems and energy efficiency.

The property is equipped with:
five geothermal probes;
solar panels for domestic hot water and swimming pool heating;
underfloor heating and cooling connected to an ELCO heat pump;
an automatic and adjustable dehumidification system;
a water softener in the technical plant room;
a Freezanz mosquito-control system;
a private well supplying the irrigation system and swimming pool;
five antique 17th-century stone fireplaces;
an underground swimming pool plant room;
a kitchen equipped with Wolf burners;
a large Sub-Zero refrigerator and freezer;
bespoke fitted furnishings, included with the property;
CCTV surveillance and alarm system.

Casale degli Archi is the result of a significant restoration project carried out with great respect for the original identity and character of the property. Its stone façades, antique fireplaces, terracotta and stone floors, exposed timber beams and carefully reclaimed materials are complemented by modern technology and high-quality technical systems.

A property of exceptional charm, created for those who wish to experience the authenticity of the Tuscan countryside in a private and panoramic setting, while remaining within easy reach of the sea, the principal destinations of Versilia and the historic city of Lucca.
