Elegant Historic Residence In Livorno

A few steps from the sea, nestled in a setting of rare beauty, stands a prestigious historic residence, part of the Casini di Ardenza complex. This residence, built at the end of the 19th century based on a design by architect Giuseppe Cappellini, is part of an important collection of villas that define the Ardenza area-an elegant district of Livorno that has been frequented by both local and international nobility and bourgeoisie since the 18th century.
The Casini di Ardenza were originally conceived as summer residences for the Livornese and Tuscan aristocracy, drawn to the beauty of the sea and the tranquility of the area. The complex, which extends along the waterfront, is distinguished by its refined architecture and the beauty of its surrounding gardens, creating a unique atmosphere of peace and timeless charm.

The villa is set within this historic and fascinating context, enjoying a privileged location that allows easy walking access to the city center. Here, one can experience Livorno’s vibrant cultural and commercial life without sacrificing the tranquility and beauty of the sea.
The property spans three levels, covering a total of approximately 500 sqm (5.381 sq.ft.), offering spacious and harmonious interiors designed for absolute comfort. On the ground floor, a welcoming entrance hall-characterized by imposing columns and original 19th-century frescoes-leads to the living areas, which include a large sitting room with a marble fireplace, an elegant dining room, a functional kitchen, a guest bathroom, and a laundry area.
The first floor, accessible via a monumental staircase, features three spacious master bedrooms overlooking the sea, two bathrooms (one with a whirlpool tub and shower), a study, a library, and a walk-in wardrobe. A charming balcony facing the inner garden provides a quiet and private retreat, ideal for moments of relaxation. The top floor hosts an independent apartment with parquet flooring and exposed original beams, featuring a spacious living area, a kitchen with an island, a master bedroom, a bathroom, and two large storage rooms. All three floors are connected by an internal elevator.

The garden includes an artesian well that supplies water to the irrigation system. The property offers four private parking spaces in front of the villa, with additional parking available in the shared area. The private garden of about 200 sqm. (2152 sq.ft.) is an oasis of tranquility, enriched by a greenhouse, a gazebo, and a small annex with a laundry area. This exclusive outdoor space is perfect for enjoying moments of pure relaxation and conviviality, immersed in the timeless charm of this unique residence.
