Villa Ginori is located in Versilia and is included in the Migliarino-San Rossore-Massaciuccoli Natural Park in a lagoon area at the edge of Lake Massaciuccoli.
In 1887 Marquis Carlo Benedetto Ginori Lisci, owner of the famous Florentine ceramics of the same name, bought the villa and carried out a radical renovation of the buildings and surrounding garden. Since that time the villa has always remained in the family’s ownership.
The architectural style chosen was Tuscan-Neo-Gothic.
The interior of the main villa has been enriched by the beautiful art-nouveau frescoes by Francesco Fanelli, a painter in Giovanni Fattori’s circle.
The villa has always been an important cultural point in the entire Versilia area and frequented by great artists including Giacomo Puccini.
Giacomo Puccini was a frequent visitor to the villa and a great friend of Marchese Ginori, so much so that he dedicated one of his most famous operas, La Bohème, to him.
The property consists of the main villa, as well as three other detached houses, the private chapel, lemon house and some rooms for storage use.
The main villa in exquisite neo-Gothic style measures about 1,200 square meters gross and is built partly on land and partly on water, with a charming covered landing stage with vaulted ceilings. In fact, it is possible to access the boats directly from the house and reach Torre del Lago Puccini or the port of Viareggio by water.
It is spread over 4 levels with the storerooms and boat shelter on the ground floor, the representative part on the second floor with a magnificent porch, a large living room with large windows and the dining room with original decorations and winter garden. There is also a kitchen, a bathroom and a second entrance hall.
On the second floor are the rooms with bathrooms.
On the third floor the windowed attics that are perfectly usable as rooms. On the ridge of the roof the turret from which there is a splendid view.
The villa is surrounded by a fairy-tale garden with a lily pond and numerous exotic plants.
The other three units consist of an 18th-century building on three levels plus the attic that has been almost completely renovated for an area of about 800 square meters, a farmhouse to be completely renovated for an area of about 400 square meters, and a third partially renovated detached house with a large living room for an area of about 280 square meters.
There is also a loft of about 185 square meters, the lemon house of about 40 square meters, a studio of about 40 square meters, and the chapel.
Numerous parking spaces.
Incredible opportunity to acquire a property of grand historical value in a unique natural setting, within easy reach of the exclusive beaches of Forte dei Marmi and the renowned cities of Lucca, Florence and Pisa.
