Holly Villa

Immersed in greenery, in a dominant hillside position, we offer for sale this villa built in 1995. Access to the property is through the large southwest-facing terrace with panoramic views of the Alps, sea, and lake. The entrance is a living area in the large open space consisting of a bright eat-in kitchen and a spacious living room with a fireplace; from here we reach the sleeping area composed of a hallway, 2 double bedrooms, one of which is king size, and two bathrooms, both with windows.

From the hallway, climbing the comfortable wooden stairs, we reach the attic equipped with a pocket terrace of about 15 sqm and consisting of an open space of about 30 sqm, used as a guest room with an en-suite bathroom equipped with a bathtub and window. Descending the stairs to the basement, we arrive at the large tavern of about 48 sqm divided into 2 rooms, the first used as a fourth bedroom, the second as a laundry room and leisure room. Completing the floor is the large garage of about 50 sqm.

The property is finished with 2000 sqm of land, consisting of a small vineyard, olive grove, and a large flat terrace where the in-ground pool, built in 2017, is located, with salt water, covering an area of about 22 sqm.

The village is located about 305 meters above sea level, approximately 5 km from the municipal capital and 22 km from Lucca. It is easily accessible, after about a kilometer of ascent, from the provincial road of Canipaletti, in the locality of Monte Pitoro, still within the municipality of Massarosa. Around the center of Montigiano, the hamlets of Inta, Pitoro, and Scherzi develop. The toponym derives from the Latin Monticianum, meaning ”property of Monticius,” a Roman settler who owned a farmhouse and land here according to the centuriation system. The first mention of Montigiano is in the donation by Ugo and Lothair of a plot of land to the canons of the cathedral of Lucca on July 1, 932, where it is written: «in Montisano manentes unum». In the tithes of Bishop Teudigrimo, in which the villas dependent on the parish of Elici are listed, dated November 29, 984, it is referred to as Montiscianum.
