Description
In a sunny spot on the hillside, at the foot of the Apuan Alps, this simple but spacious house is tiered into its sloping grounds, with accommodation over three levels. Privately positioned at the top of the villa is a four-poster bedroom, with French doors on to a covered terrace. Beneath, at upper ground level, the breakfast kitchen is furnished in contemporary country style and is open, through an archway, to an airy sitting room with direct access to the dining terrace. Two double bedrooms share this floor, one with doors on to the garden; and there are two more at the lower ground level, along with a large living room with a dining area, two big sofas and doors straight out to the poolside lawns. Indoor and outdoor comforts are catered for with WiFi, satellite tv and, in the beautifully tended gardens, a built-in barbecue with a wood oven and preparation area. Just 4km from shops and restaurants in Camaiore, Casale il Balzo is 12km from both the lively beach resort of Viareggio and the historic town of Pietrasanta, replete with boutiques, galleries and trendy eateries. Lucca’s lovely piazzas are well within reach, 28km away.
