Historical Apartment With Frescoes In Pietrasanta's Town Centre

In the heart of Pietrasanta’s town centre, this second-floor flat overlooks one of Versilia’s liveliest and most culturally rich urban scenes. The town, known as ‘Little Athens’ due to the density of sculpture studios, international art galleries and marble workshops that enliven every alleyway, offers its residents a daily experience of rare aesthetic quality, in which art is an integral part of the urban landscape. The apartment, measuring approximately 173 sqm, retains the characteristics of prestigious 19th-century residential architecture: a ceiling with large exposed beams, original terracotta flooring, a white marble fireplace and a decorative scheme featuring frescoes, mouldings and cornices that give each room a strong and distinctive identity.

The main living room is the heart of the property and its most striking space: a large reception area with impressive ceiling heights, where the beamed ceiling punctuates the volume with an elegant architectural rhythm and the walls are decorated with frescoes featuring floral and geometric motifs in a typically 19th-century style, framed by stucco mouldings that evoke the tradition of Tuscan noble residences. The marble fireplace dominates the main side of the room, flanked by original mirrors and picture frames. This living room, which can easily accommodate a large conversation area and a formal dining area, boasts a generosity of space rarely found in properties located in the historic centre.

The sleeping area comprises three bedrooms, two full bathrooms clad in local marble with classic sanitary ware and matching taps, and a storage room that could be converted into a third guest bathroom, adding functionality to an already generously appointed floor. The master bedroom features an en-suite bathroom, ensuring the level of privacy and comfort typical of prestigious residences; while the other two bedrooms, also boasting excellent ceiling heights and views of the historic building, offer versatility for use as guest rooms, a study, or a reading room. The kitchen, with marble worktops and bespoke cupboards, is a high-quality space that balances modern functionality with respect for the apartment’s historic character. The balcony, measuring approximately 10 sqm and overlooking the building’s internal courtyard, completes the outdoor space with a cosy and peaceful setting.

The apartment features independent heating, air conditioning, and newly installed double-glazed windows—upgrades that ensure energy efficiency and acoustic comfort without compromising the historic character of the spaces. The property also offers a real opportunity for expansion, a valuable asset for those who wish to customize their home over time.
