The property has 52,000 sqm (around 12 acres) of land, including garden, olive groves and meadow around the house, plus further plots of woodland and meadow further afield.

The villa is on the edge of a small village in the Lunigiana hills, only 10 kms from Aulla where there is a train station, supermarkets and shops.

The small town of Barbarasco is close, set on the banks of the river Magra, and offers a selection of shops and restaurants, schools, chemist and one of the best cheese shops in the area.

Lunigiana is a magical part of Tuscany. The rolling landscape is liberally sprinkled with castles of Medici or Malaspina vintage but for lovers of the coast the sea is only half-an-hours’ drive away. The golden sandy beaches around Lerici and the pebble coves of the Cinque Terre are ideal for swimming and sailing. The airports of Pisa, Parma and Genova are all just over an hour away.
