Villa Mazzi Penthouse: a prestigious residence in the heart of Sarzana

In Sarzana’s most elegant and sought-after residential neighbourhood, just steps from the heart of the historic centre, the property enjoys a privileged location combining privacy, tranquillity and the convenience of experiencing the city without needing a car.

Considered the historic capital of Lunigiana, Sarzana is one of the most fascinating destinations in eastern Liguria. A city of art and culture, it has preserved the charm of its medieval layout, enclosed within ancient walls and dominated by the majestic Firmafede and Sarzanello Fortresses—testimonies to a past in which the city played a leading role in trade and relations between Liguria, Tuscany and Emilia.

Strolling through the city centre means immersing yourself in an authentic atmosphere of aristocratic palaces, elegant squares, historic churches, shops, art galleries and refined outdoor cafés. Sarzana is also internationally known for major cultural events, such as the Festival della Mente, literary events, art exhibitions and antiques markets that enliven the city throughout the year, helping make it one of the most popular destinations on the Riviera di Levante.

Its geographical position is equally extraordinary. Located on the border between Liguria and Tuscany, it is an ideal starting point for reaching some of Italy’s most renowned destinations. In just a few minutes, you can reach the beaches of the Gulf of Poets, including Lerici, Tellaro and Portovenere—places that have inspired artists and poets throughout the ages—while the Cinque Terre, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, are easily accessible by both sea and train. To the south lies Versilia, with Forte dei Marmi and its high-fashion boutiques, renowned beach resorts and exclusive social scene.

Behind the city stretch the Apuan Alps, with Carrara’s famous marble quarries and a network of scenic trails immersed in nature. Meanwhile, the inland areas of Lunigiana offer medieval castles, historic villages, food and wine routes and unspoilt landscapes, creating a perfect balance between sea, culture and hills.
