Within the scope of the Ex Convent of the Bigi Friars, we present a prestigious representative apartment of about 230 square meters, located on the second floor with an elevator of a historic Gothic building, completely restored with the highest quality materials in 2016 and made into a high-energy performance property.
The interior opens onto a large living room with a precious 18th-century French fireplace and neoclassical-style columns, leading to the dining room and custom-made kitchen, elegantly finished. The master bedroom, known as the "drapery room," is entirely decorated with hand-painted artworks executed at the time of the renovation and is equipped with an en suite marble bathroom with a tub and shower, as well as a functional walk-in closet.
The second bedroom unfolds under a charming sloping roof with exposed beams and also features a walk-in closet. Completing the floor is a marble bathroom, accessorized with the highest quality finishes, and the elegant hallway from which one accesses the internal elevator leading to the upper floor. Here is a refined altana: a unique environment with Gothic windows and original elements recovered from the ancient convent. On the fourth and last floor, always reachable by elevator, there is a private panoramic terrace of about 24 square meters, equipped with a water point, from which you can enjoy an extraordinary view of Pisa, its mountains, and its monuments.
In the basement of the complex, accessible via a communal elevator, there are two garages of about 13 square meters each.
An unparalleled residence, in a historical context with the comfort of the future.
UNESCO World Heritage since 1987, Pisa preserves its centuries of history in the palaces and visible remains scattered in various corners of the city. Not only treasures like the Tower and the incredible Piazza dei Miracoli, but one of the testimonies of its glorious past is the 12th-century city walls that still enclose what is considered the historic center of the city, with its four main districts divided by the Arno River. Many literati and scientists over the years have praised the Lungarno of Pisa, which today gives its name to its banks, where some of the most illustrious palaces, once home to the most prestigious families, overlook.
Pisa boasts a past of maritime power: besides being an important Roman port, it was one of the four Maritime Republics, whose trade brought considerable wealth to the city. But it is especially science that has made the city a thriving hub of attraction: the birthplace of Galileo Galilei, it hosts the prestigious Sant'Anna and Normale Schools, as well as a rich university. Dynamism and entertainment are guaranteed by the festivals and events that occupy Pisa's main cultural centers throughout the year, with a particular mention of the Luminara di San Ranieri, a characteristic and unique light show that illuminates the river every June 16th for the patron saint's celebration.
A few kilometers from the center, we find the San Rossore Park, once the summer residence of the President of the Republic and now a protected natural reserve.
The city also boasts an exceptional location with its proximity to the Apuan Alps 50 km away and the Pisani Mountains close to the center, an excellent scenario for trekking and mountain biking routes. Just 15 km away, it is possible to reach the coast with its beaches and equipped shores to experience a typical Italian summer. Here, the Pisa marina is also present, from where you can depart for short sailing trips to the islands of the Tuscan archipelago. The port of Livorno is only 25 km away and allows you to reach Corsica, Sardinia, and other European destinations.
The city also features an airport, one of the main ones in Tuscany with national and international routes. Finally noteworthy is the railway, whose connections allow reaching all other cities on the peninsula. A 30-minute drive allows you to discover Lucca and the culinary traditions of the hinterland, while the wonders of Florence are reachable in just an hour. Traveling 35 km instead, you reach Forte dei Marmi and Versilia.
