VILLA MIRAGGIO

Villa Miraggio - Lucca - Tuscany

8 Bedrooms - Pool

Location and Surrounding Area. Located just a few kilometers from the sea, this recently-restored and elegant property is ideally located to explore the region’s cultural highlights and most spectacular natural wonders. The Riviera della Versilia boasts twelve miles of uninterrupted sandy shores and beach resorts offering Italian beach culture in all its glory. What would otherwise be an ordinary stretch of beach is made extraordinary by the white peaks of the Apuan Alps, which rise like snow in the distance.

The property is just a stone’s throw from Lucca, also known as “the city of 100 churches”. Hidden behind impressive Renaissance walls, its cobbled streets, delightful squares and shady promenades make it a perfect destination to explore on foot. At the end of the day, open-air cafes and historic restaurants tempt visitors to relax over a glass of Lucchese wine and a slow progression of dishes prepared with fresh produce from nearby Garfagnana.

In forty minutes by car, you can easily reach Pisa, exceptionally well-known for its Leaning Tower. Moving between its alleys and riversides you will discover architectural jewels such as Santa Maria della Spina, the headquarters of the Scuola Normale Superiore in Piazza dei Cavalieri, the exhibitions of Palazzo Blu and the magnetic charm of Piazza dei Miracoli. Start from the Baptistery and head to the 130-meter Camposanto Monumentale overlooking the square.

The villa is a few kilometers from Viareggio, the most important city in the Versilia. Established as a port of Lucca, this popular sun-and-sand resort is extremely renowned for its flamboyant Carnevale, second only to Venice’s carnival, and for its disheveled line-up of art-nouveau facades along its seafront, which recall the town’s 1920s and ‘30s heyday. Stroll along the city center’s charming streets, eat a gelato on the Passeggiata, and look out to the sea on the Dersena.

Famous for being the preferred holiday destination of many international celebrities, Forte dei Marmi is just a stone’s throw away from the villa and is the ideal place for those who love high standard services and a vibrant nightlife. With its beautiful beaches, exclusive designer boutiques, and lively atmosphere, Forte dei Marmi attracts tourists from all over the world every year. Before leaving the town, do not forget to take a stroll along the pier, historically used for loading marble extracted from the quarries onto the boats.

In one hour by car, you can reach Livorno, a quintessential port town with a colorful history and cosmopolitan heritage. Declared a free port in the 17th century, Livorno attracted traders from across the globe. The result was a city famed throughout Europe for its multiculturalism. Today its seafood is the best on the Tyrrhenian coast, its historic quarter threaded with Venetian-style canals is full of character, and its elegant belle époque buildings offer evocative reminders of a prosperous past.
