Manoir

A short distance from the renowned beaches of Versilia, in a quiet position in Pieve di Camaiore and with the Apuan Alps framing the landscape, stands this extraordinary historic villa, a charming residence where centuries of history, art, and landscape culture coexist in an architecturally rare elegance.

The origins of the property date back to the 16th century, while the configuration visible today is the result of subsequent transformations that took place between the 18th and 20th centuries. Over the centuries, the villa was enriched by a succession of decorated and frescoed rooms, each characterized by a specific artistic identity and a distinct decorative theme, creating a pathway through different eras and languages.

The ground floor opens with two mirror-image entrance halls, located respectively on the main and rear façades. The latter is now used as a billiard room. The level also includes an elegant dining room, a fumoir, a large kitchen with fireplace, a small dining area, a bathroom, and a cellar. The decorations of the rooms, created in the early decades of the 20th century, develop the theme of travel through representations of distant, even exotic landscapes, accompanied by refined floral motifs.

The noble floor constitutes the most representative level of the residence and is characterized by valuable 19th-century frescoes related to the Lucchese decorative tradition. Here are a large hall with a piano, three bedrooms (including the master bedroom with fireplace), two bathrooms, and a hallway. A cozy lounge, fully decorated and equipped with a fireplace, leads to the outdoor spaces, creating a natural continuity between the interior environments and the garden.

The second floor preserves another element of great artistic value: an important cycle of 18th-century frescoes entirely dedicated to the landscapes of Rome. The rooms develop around a central hall and include two bedrooms, a study, a bedroom with a bathroom, a room equipped with a kitchen, and a charming fully frescoed library.

In the heart of the Dordogne, a short distance from Bordeaux and the famous village of Saint-Émilion, stands this magnificent medieval castle, which was expanded in the 17th century and has now been restored to its former glory thanks to an impeccable renovation.

Nestled in a landscape of extraordinary beauty, amidst rolling hills, forests, and charming villages, the property offers a rare blend of history, elegance, and contemporary comfort. Every detail has been meticulously attended to, preserving the original architectural elements while seamlessly integrating them with the latest technologies.

The castle (800 m²) spans multiple levels and features spaces that are both grand and warmly inviting. The rooms on the ground floor stand out for their authentic atmosphere: terracotta floors, period fireplaces, and an extraordinary Valcucine kitchen, fully equipped and overlooking the terrace, ideal for convivial moments outdoors. Particularly striking is the circular dining room, inspired by Arthurian lore, designed to welcome guests in a unique setting.

The upper floors feature elegant living rooms, bright bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms, and spaces dedicated to relaxation and reading, including a refined loft-style library and a private bar. The spaces, enriched with custom-made furnishings and connected by a spectacular handcrafted staircase, offer a perfect balance between grandeur and intimacy.

To complement the main residence, the property features significant outbuildings: a large, finely restored barn, ideal for events, exhibitions, or housing collections, and a long agricultural building with multiple potential uses, perfect for conversion into guest quarters, stables, or wellness spaces.

The grounds, spanning over 44 hectares, guarantee absolute privacy and offer breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside. Within the grounds, there is also a 12 × 6 m swimming pool, a tennis court, and a distinctive 17th-century dovecote, a testament to the estate’s history.

Furnishings available separately.
