Noble Hotel Villa By The Tuscan Sea

This noble villa, transformed into a luxury hotel, is currently available for purchase in Marina di Massa. This ancient sea-facing villa is in Versilia, one of the most renowned coasts of Tuscany, offering a comfortable and relaxing environment, ideal for spending holidays by the sea and enjoying culture. This charming luxury hotel, housed in this magnificent eighteenth-century villa, is located in Marina di Massa and boasts 2,500 sqm of interiors, surrounded by a vast park of approximately 5,500 sqm, where guests are welcomed by a splendid swimming pool.

Located along the ancient Via del Sale, a road that connected the Duchy of Massa-Carrara to the Duchy of Modena and Parma, this property was originally a noble villa, a summer hunting lodge that belonged to the prestigious Sforza Counts, one of the most influential of Italy, who governed the Duchy of Milan for a long time. The villa has welcomed illustrious guests over the years, including Gabriele d'Annunzio and Roberto Micheloni, whose verses are still engraved in the marble of the hotel's facades. Among the prominent personalities who have stayed here, there is also Maria Beatrice of Bourbon Austria.

The ancient villa still maintains its historic features, with the central structure built in the 18th century and the side wings added later. Among the elements of historical importance, you can admire an ancient sundial with the engraving "Horas non numero nisi serenas". The hotel's annex, with large well-preserved arches, was originally used as a stable for horses. The structure houses 28 quiet and comfortable rooms, furnished with style and refinement, following the typical atmosphere of Tuscan villas. The rooms still maintain the original attics with the old mezzanine beams dating back to the 1700s. The stairs, a work of art in their own right, were handmade with classic cipollino steps, dating back to the time of construction.

The villa is surrounded by a big, leafy garden of about 7000 square meters: a true oasis of tranquillity. In the park, you can admire oak trees and umbrella pines, while in the front garden a well in white Carrara marble dating back to the 1700s and a domed brick well that has its roots in the year 1000 stand out. The park has been enriched with a big swimming pool (21 x 8 meters), pergolas and gazebos, which create quiet and refreshing corners where you can spend pleasant evenings. The property is completed by a convenient big car park that can fit up to 50 cars.

This villa dating back to the 18th century, now transformed into a luxury accommodation facility, enjoys a strategic position in the immediate vicinity of the main Tuscan cities of art, such as Lucca, Pisa, Pistoia and Florence. It welcomes its occupants by offering a location where they can regenerate and relax in the splendid setting of the famous beaches of Versilia.
