Description

Immersed in the picturesque setting of Lunigiana, in Fivizzano, in the most northwestern part of Tuscany and on the border with Liguria, stands Villa La Pescigola, an elegant residence with a timeless charm. Already mentioned in 1779 in the works of Giovanni Targioni Tozzetti, this property boasts a history of over six hundred years and has been for centuries linked to prestigious families of the Tuscan aristocracy. The villa, with its austere and romantic style, is distinguished by the horseshoe plan that embraces a large internal courtyard connected to the small Oratory of the Guardian Angel. Scenic avenues adorned with cypresses, statues and fountains embellished with marble busts complete the picture of an elegant and harmonious architecture. To further embellish the property, along the terraces and the slope in front of the villa extends a magnificent eighteenth-century Italian garden, dominated by imposing Atlantic cedars, Numerous varieties of flowers and plants and the centuries-old trees almost protect the majestic entrance to this prestigious property. For years, during the spectacular flowering of over 150,000 daffodils of all kinds, Villa La Pescigola has hosted the famous Festival of Daffodils, attracting visitors and enthusiasts from every corner of the country. The villa, protected by a bond of the Sovintendenza, has a total area of about 650 square meters. The private chapel, located in front of the main entrance, enriches and encloses the outdoor space on the ground floor. From its side you can see the elegant garden promenade, which, flanking the amphitheater, leads to the private pond, surrounded by a plot of about 33 hectares in which are immersed the villa and several buildings and farmhouses to be restored, including a farmhouse of about 370 square meters and a barn of about 110 square meters. This extraordinary property, entirely to be renovated, represents a unique opportunity for investors able to recognize the immense potential and who have the desire to return it to its former glory. The strategic position, surrounded by greenery but well connected to the rest of Tuscany, makes it ideal as a luxury accommodation and as a location for exclusive events. Villa La Pescigola is waiting to be restored to its original splendor, ready to reveal again its noble and timeless spirit. A true work of art, where history, nature and beauty merge to enchant a new generation of visionary owners.

Location: Fivizzano, Tuscany

Fivizzano is a charming medieval village located in the Tuscan part of Lunigiana, in the province of Massa-Carrara. Surrounded by the majestic Apuan Alps and the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines, Fivizzano is known for its rich historical heritage, cultural traditions and extraordinary scenic beauty. Often called the "Florence of Lunigiana" for its cultural liveliness in the Renaissance, Fivizzano has played an important role in history, thanks to its strategic position between Tuscany, Liguria and Emilia-Romagna. The village is surrounded by Medici walls of the 16th century and preserves historic buildings of great value, such as the Piazza Medicea, the Palazzo Fantoni Bononi, which houses the Museum of the Press, and the Church of Santi Jacopo and Antonio. Lunigiana is a historic region located between Liguria and Tuscany, characterized by hilly landscapes, green valleys and numerous medieval villages. Its name comes from the ancient Roman city of Luni, located near the present Sarzana, once an important port. This land is famous for its castles, built between the Middle Ages and the Renaissance to control the communication routes between northern and central Italy. Among the most famous are the Castle of Fosdinovo, linked to the legend of Fantasma di Bianca Maria Malaspina, the Castle of Verrucola, near Fivizzano, and the Castle of Malgrate, with its imposing tower.
