Detached Villa With Garden For Sale In Forte Dei Marmi

There is a specific way to experience Forte dei Marmi. Waking up when the light is already warm, hopping on a bike, and heading to the beach. Returning to the tranquillity of your own garden, enjoying an aperitif on the loggia as the day draws to a close. This villa is built around that rhythm – and around the realisation that such a balance is no longer easily found today.

Contemporary and detached, this estate, designed by Barberini & Gunnell, spans two floors and covers approximately 175 sqm, surrounded by a private garden of almost 800 sqm. Such an expanse of greenery and privacy, situated 690 metres from the coast and a five-minute cycle ride from the centre, has become a true rarity in the Versilia market. In a sector where the availability of detached villas has structurally declined in recent years, this property represents what the market is increasingly struggling to offer: space, privacy, high-quality craftsmanship, and immediate usability.

Completely renovated and ready to move into, it requires no further work or waiting. It is one of those properties that are delivered in their final form – where every decision has already been made, and made well.

Upon entering, the living room opens up to a spacious and bright space: a wood-burning fireplace defines its centre, around which the conversation and dining areas flow naturally. The Carrara marble flooring runs seamlessly through the rooms, the light tones amplifying the natural light, whilst the bespoke furnishings complete a sober and cohesive aesthetic. Nothing is over the top; everything is perfectly balanced. It is the elegance of those who have nothing to prove.

The kitchen, separate yet in fluid dialogue with the dining area, is equipped to host and entertain with the same ease as preparing a family breakfast. From here, there is direct access to the covered loggia with outdoor dining: a sheltered space overlooking the garden, where the distinction between inside and outside becomes blurred. A place designed for lunch in the shade in summer, for dinner on late-season evenings, for morning coffee before cycling to the sea.

The garden – almost 800 sqm of manicured greenery, enriched with local plants that filter the heat and provide coolness during the hottest hours – is not merely a decorative setting but a tangible extension of the living space. Lounge areas, shaded corners, a hammock: every element has been designed for relaxation and conviviality, to offer a level of privacy rarely found at this distance from the coast and from Versilia’s most exclusive beach clubs, including Alpemare, which is within walking distance.

The sleeping area comprises five bedrooms, four of which are en suite with private bathrooms, designed to ensure independence and comfort for both the family and long-stay guests. Each room reflects the same compositional care as the project as a whole: controlled natural light, carefully selected materials, and a sense of continuity between the spaces that makes the house a pleasure to live in all year round, not just in summer.

Also featured are original works by Atelier Barberini & Gunnell, which lend the residence an additional dimension — that of a space inhabited culturally as well, where the interior design engages with the studio’s own artistic exploration.

A wine cellar, a laundry room, bicycle storage and four parking spaces – two of which are covered – complete a range of facilities designed for everyday use in its most comfortable and discreet form. In Forte dei Marmi, time is measured in seasons. And in opportunities that, ever more rarely, present themselves again.
