Description from owner
Description
Villa la Torretta is for those who think differently, for people who are not afraid to embrace different cultures and for ones who are perpetually seeking nourishing and harmonious experiences. Two generations of our family were raised on this utopian land and our mission is to transmit what we have learned to you. Our home is a sanctuary where nature, culture, and history become one, drifting into realities often forgotten in our times.
Property Description: The property is comprised of a classical seaside villa, situated on eleven acres of a botanical garden overlooking the ocean. This land is salve for the senses. The perfume of the myriad of flowers, trees and spices awaken the nostrils. The concerto of the birds and cicadas, punctuated by moments of pure silence, play for the ears. The natural landscape and composition of the house are delightful to the touch, including the Tuscan marble floors made by our ancestors. The wonderful ocean views and the miraculous sunsets accompany you on every walk, awakening your sight to pure beauty. Finally, the delicious creations emerging from our gardens- olive oil, fruits and vegetables- will foster a harmonious alignment of your palate.
Property Location: The property is ideally located on the southern border of Liguria, adjacent to Tuscany, forty-five minutes away from Pisa’s airport- giving exceptional access to the best of both worlds. The towns of Lerici and San Terenzo, in between which Villa la Torretta is situated, are delightful small villages offering a mile-long boardwalk along the curving coastline with beautiful sandy beaches. The bay is dominated by two stunning medieval castles-anchoring each end. The towns are full of delicious restaurants, great walks and a peaceful atmosphere. Strolling in theses towns, you’ll be able to experience the authenticity of Italy.
Nearby attractions are many. In a thirty minutes boat/train/car ride, you could find yourself in the midst of the Cinque Terre. Heading south, with a thirty-minute car ride, you could be shopping and dining in the glamorous Forte Dei Marmi. The countless bays and beaches within walking distance or a short boat ride away offer the cleanest and one of the clearest seas in Italy assigned by the 2017 “Bandiera Blue”. A short car or boat ride will also allows you to visit one of the most charming villages in Italy, Porto Venere. Porto Venere’s picturesque Church of Saint Peter is visible from the property along with the two islands, Tino and Palmaria.
Located at the edge of Tuscany, the house permits you to take day trips to explore its treasures. Lerici is just forty minutes away from Pietra Santa, a village offering some of the country’s most beautiful contemporary art and marble galleries. Forty minutes away is the ancient medieval city of Lucca. One and a half hours away is Florence.
