Exclusive Residence: Templar Tower of History, Charm and Prestige

In the heart of the charming medieval village of Bibbona, amid narrow alleys and evocative stone paving, stands an authentic Templar Tower dating back to 1040, a rare and fascinating testament to local history. Originally built to defend the village and the Castle of Bibbona, the tower was expertly restored in 2016 and today presents itself as an exclusive residence, where every intervention has respected and enhanced the building’s historic identity. This one-of-a-kind property spans about 240 sq m over five levels, plus an extraordinary panoramic terrace with open views of the sea, Casale Marittimo, Bolgheri and the gentle hills of the Cecina Valley. The entrance immediately ushers you into an atmosphere rich in charm and authenticity: here there is a welcoming reading area, furnished with vintage leather armchairs, a writing desk and bookcase. A striking, custom-made circular cast-iron staircase connects the various levels: descending leads to the atmospheric underground cellar, perfectly equipped for storing and tasting wines; ascending brings you to the elegant living area, featuring exposed-beam ceilings, parquet floors and a fireplace with integrated wood-burning stove. A passage carved into the thickness of the ancient walls leads to the kitchen, where an imposing pietra serena stone portal frames the cooking area. Highlights include an English cast-iron stove and a prestigious black Lacanche with brass finishes. The walls, clad in black vitrified lava-stone tiles, enhance the travertine worktop, while the handmade black terracotta floor completes a space of great character. This level also includes a guest bathroom and the original stone staircase. On the second level there is a first double bedroom with a wrought-iron canopy bed, alongside a bathroom finished with mosaics. The top floor is dedicated to the master suite with en-suite bathroom and freestanding tub: large glass doors flood the rooms with natural light and offer a 360-degree panoramic view of the surrounding landscape. Crowning the property is a splendid liveable terrace: a unique space, ideal for enjoying convivial moments outdoors, savouring Tuscan cuisine and excellent wines, immersed in the colours and atmosphere of sunsets over the sea.
