In the hamlet of San Gennaro, in the hills of Capannori, this recently renovated historic olive mill is surrounded by the Tuscan landscape, amid olive groves, vineyards and slopes shaping the surrounding area. Its panoramic setting preserves the character of the Lucca countryside, in a peaceful context yet within a short distance of services and the main towns in the area.
The property lies along the Lucca, Montecarlo and Versilia Wine and Olive Oil Route, in a location offering easy access to Lucca and Pisa, as well as Florence and the renowned beaches of Viareggio and Forte dei Marmi.
The building features stone and brick walls, terracotta floors and reminders of its history, including the original millstone and the inscription on the façade commemorating restoration work carried out in 1692.
The property extends over three levels. The ground floor houses the apartment currently occupied by the manager, comprising two bedrooms and three bathrooms, connected by a convenient stone staircase to the upper floors, dedicated to the B&B, a well-established hospitality business with a solid record of positive reviews.
The interiors include communal areas, a fully equipped kitchen with fireplace and a reception area. The sleeping quarters, distributed over the first and second floors, comprise six spacious bedrooms, each with a private bathroom, as well as a service bathroom. The rooms overlook the rooftops of the hamlet and the surrounding hills.
Outside, stairs and walkways connect the various levels of the garden. Enclosed by historic walls, the courtyard features an outdoor dining area, ideal for summer dinners and aperitifs. On the upper level, the recently built swimming pool is complemented by a sun terrace with loungers and parasols, an outdoor shower and a wrought-iron gazebo. From here, panoramic views of the hills provide the perfect backdrop for moments of relaxation. The property is completed by a photovoltaic system installed on the roof.
The current layout offers several possibilities: retaining the existing arrangement, combining the spaces into a single residence, or considering subdivision into several apartments.
A property combining the history of an ancient olive mill, the landscape of the Tuscan hills and a well-established hospitality vocation, ideal for those seeking a private residence or wishing to continue the accommodation business.
