Exclusive Historic Villa On The Lake In The Versilia Hinterland

Within the protected area of Migliarino-San Rossore-Massaciuccoli Regional Park, on the shores of the lake, stands an exclusive period residence of 4000 sqm arranged across eight buildings. Surrounded by 10 hectares of outdoor space with exotic palm gardens, canals and direct access to the water, the property offers twelve bedrooms, eight bathrooms, a private clubhouse and a covered boathouse. Known for its historic connection with Maestro Giacomo Puccini and its Tuscan Neo-Gothic architecture, the estate offers a rare combination of privacy, scenic beauty and prestige in the Versilia hinterland.

The main villa, built in Neo-Gothic and Art Nouveau style towards the end of the 19th century, features a red-brick façade enhanced by mullioned windows and a tower. The lake waters flow directly beneath the arches of the building, housing a covered boathouse for the private mooring of boats. The upper floors contain Art Nouveau frescoed reception rooms signed by the painter Francesco Fanelli, a glazed veranda used as a winter garden and historic rooms where the composer Puccini enjoyed staying and composing.

The guest accommodation extends across secondary buildings, including four double bedrooms and an independent apartment with kitchen. The focal point of the entertaining spaces is the clubhouse created from an old boat storage building, featuring a large stone fireplace, dining rooms for private receptions and a professional kitchen. The remaining annexes complete the 4000 sqm covered area, offering versatile spaces suited to private events, film sets and high-end hospitality.

The private park extends across 100000 sqm of land, including 8 hectares of natural area, grazing areas, a private pond of 3600 sqm and landscaped gardens. The park surrounding the villa includes an acclimatisation garden with century-old palms and oriental botanical species, planted towards the end of the 19th century. The tranquillity of the navigable canals, reed beds and direct contact with the lake basin create a natural sanctuary of complete peace, ideal for outdoor relaxation.
