Italy real estate: house for sale in Tuscany

This luxurious, architect-designed villa has a floor area of almost 300 square metres, with a large garden and solarium

With two bedrooms and room for two more, two bathrooms, fireplaces, and a taverna large enough to put a gym, Villa Giacometti would provide a comfortable faamily home.

This luxury villa was commissioned by the current owners 25 years ago, and realised by one of Lucca's leading architects. The villa was then completely overhauled five years ago by the daughter of the family.

One has to visit this house to appreciate the quality of the finishing, with lovely parquet floors. The taverna is almost 100 square metres in size, and laid out as in one room with a bar, and a built-in oven for pizzas and roasts. The owners have their gym equipment in there. The taverna opens out onto the solarium.

The garden is flat and has room for a small pool. The house is completely surrounded by hedges, affording perfect privacy, but is within walking distance of two bars, a trattoria, a grocers, the post office, hairdressers and the doctor's surgery.
