Description

Nestled in the enchanting countryside of Lunigiana, between Mulazzo and Pontremoli, this distinctive residence occupies a former 17th-century convent, extended during the 18th and 19th centuries. Surrounded by olive groves, meadows and views of the Lunigiana mountains, the property combines historic character, artistic inspiration and rural tranquillity in the heart of northern Tuscany.

The apartment extends over approximately 82 m² and occupies the first floor of the historic complex. Accessed via a private garden of approximately 400 m², with parking for two cars, it offers an idyllic setting in which to enjoy the beauty of the Tuscan landscape.

The interior comprises an entrance hall with a fireplace, a living room, two bedrooms, a kitchen and a bathroom with an ante-room and laundry area. High vaulted ceilings and a charming fresco reflect the building’s rich history, lending the residence an authentic and distinctive atmosphere.

Two terraces extend the living spaces outdoors. The main terrace, accessible from the kitchen, entrance hall and bathroom ante-room, is ideal for al fresco dining and relaxing evenings at sunset. The second, adjoining the west-facing room currently used as the principal bedroom, offers a more secluded retreat.

On the ground floor, a further area of approximately 63 m² comprises spaces registered partly as a veranda and partly as a cellar. Currently used as an artistic textile studio, it features looms of various sizes, display cabinets with wool yarns, a bathroom, a kitchenette and two storage rooms.

A covered passageway with vaulted ceilings leads to the shared courtyard, preserving a striking feature of the convent’s original architectural layout.

The apartment and garden-facing façade were renovated in 2021, with upgraded utilities, new terracotta flooring, windows and shutters. Renovation of the ground-floor spaces was completed in 2026.

This characterful residence offers a rare blend of historic architecture, artistic flair and natural beauty. With its private garden, inviting terraces and versatile additional space, it is an appealing choice for those seeking a distinctive Tuscan retreat in which to embrace the tranquillity and timeless charm of Lunigiana.

Location: Villa Ghelfi, Tuscany

Set in the heart of Lunigiana, between Mulazzo and Pontremoli, Villa Ghelfi enjoys an enchanting setting where unspoilt nature, historic villages and Tuscan traditions come together in timeless harmony. Rolling hills, lush woodlands, the River Magra valley and picturesque mountain scenery create an idyllic backdrop for those seeking privacy, tranquillity and an authentic connection with the landscape.

Rich in history and cultural heritage, Lunigiana is distinguished by its medieval castles, historic residences and charming stone villages. Pontremoli captivates with its historic centre, ancient towers and bridges spanning the River Magra, while preserving its legacy as an important stop along the Via Francigena. Nearby Mulazzo, historically associated with the Malaspina family, adds further depth to the area’s cultural appeal and distinctive character.

Despite its peaceful rural surroundings, the property benefits from convenient access to the Ligurian coast. Lerici and the Gulf of Poets, the celebrated Cinque Terre, Sarzana and La Spezia offer an appealing combination of coastal beauty, historic charm and culinary experiences. Further south, the elegant seaside destinations of Versilia, including Forte dei Marmi and Pietrasanta, are renowned for their beaches, boutiques, art galleries and refined dining.

The location also provides an excellent base for exploring Tuscany’s celebrated cities of art. Lucca, with its magnificent Renaissance walls, Pisa and its iconic Piazza dei Miracoli, and Florence, the cradle of the Renaissance, are all rewarding destinations for day trips.

Villa Ghelfi offers the privilege of living immersed in the tranquillity and natural beauty of Lunigiana, while remaining within reach of the Mediterranean coast and the cultural treasures of Tuscany and Liguria. A location of rare appeal, where history, nature and the pleasures of Italian living converge.
