Description
450 sqm.
Villa Zacconi is set on top of a small hill and surrounded by pine woods, an old cedar of Lebanon and beautiful gardens, the villa boasts a magnificent view of the Camaiore valley, with the Apuan Alps as a backdrop.
Dating back to the early 1900s, the villa was built as a country retreat by Ermete Zacconi, the famous theatre actor of the late 1800s who also acted with Eleonora Duse. Over the years, the villa has been frequented by the Italian intellectual and artistic élite from Pirandello to Vittorio Gassman and Mario Monicelli, among others.
The body of the villa has been completely renovated in 2017 and now includes all the modern conformts while retaining its unique “Art Nouveau” charm.
Surrounding the villa are three well-tended gardens with lawn and plenty of colourful flowers, a true oasis of peace and tranquility. Within the gardens there is also a lounge area to relax and a dining area, both covered with cloth gazebos and wooden pergolas.
The outdoor spaces are embellished by a large fenced pool (9.6 x 6 m) located at the edge of the forest, in the lower garden, reached by a short flight of stairs.
The swimming pool is equipped with a solarium in Lecce stone, umbrellas, deck chairs, sun loungers, a ladder for entry / exit and an outdoor shower with hot water. The whole area is an oasis of peace and tranquility with lounge and dining areas, both clustered under canvas and wooden pergolas.
Lastly, at guests' disposal are also a ping-pong table and a built-in barbecue for pleasant grills with friends.
