House buy in Castiglioncello Tuscany

This splendid Palladian-style villa is located by the sea in Castiglioncello, in one of the most exclusive corners of the Tuscan coast. With over 1,000 sqm of floor space, the building was finely renovated in 2014 and currently houses 8 bedrooms, elegant reception rooms and a spa with a panoramic terrace on the top floor. The 8,000-sqm park provides excellent privacy and houses the 10 × 8 m swimming pool. A private access to the sea completes the property. The town of Castiglioncello gained great fame in the 1960s when renowned artists and producers stayed there (including Federico Fellini, Alberto Sordi, Marcello Matroianni...) who often ended up also buying villas in the area. Services are all available in the town of Castiglioncello or, in some cases, in the nearby town of Rosignano Solvay (4km; 5'). The Tuscan coast can be reached, both north and south, in less than an hour (Livorno, Marina di Bibbona, Bolgheri, San Vincenzo, Forte dei Marmi, Follonica...). The main villa (5 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms), dating back to 1880 and entirely renovated by the current owners in 2014, has four floors in total: - Basement: cellars, one of which is suitable for creating a second kitchen; - Ground floor: two entrances, living room, dining room with fireplace, kitchen, service bathroom, laundry room and master bedroom with private bathroom and wardrobe; - First floor: three bedrooms with private wardrobe and bathroom, library, home cinema and two panoramic terraces; - Second floor: bedroom with private wardrobe and bathroom, wellness area with spa, massage room and terrace overlooking the sea. The renovation work has enhanced the finishes of the villa, which features a modern and elegant style that certainly recalls the 18th-century Palladian layout and the early 20th-century Art Nouveau styles. At the same time, it was also decided to modernize all the building's systems, which are therefore up to standard and appropriate to the prestige of the villa. The three floors of the villa have a heating/cooling system installed under the floor. What's more, the building has a centralized cooling system with dehumidification filters. Domotic connections allow checking the house systems and appliances remotely. On the other hand, the charming guesthouse (3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms), located a short distance from the villa, has two floors and independent systems from the main villa: - Ground floor (keeper's apartment): living room, kitchen, bedroom and bathroom; - First floor: two guest bedrooms with private bathrooms. A convenient garage completes the property and allows up to two cars to be sheltered. The villa enjoys excellent privacy and is immersed in a lush 8,000-sqm park surrounding the building. A short distance from the villa is a heated 10 × 8 m saltwater swimming pool with a wooden sunbathing area. The pool also has a whirlwind corner. The villa's real prize, however, is its private access to the sea via a small beach (also private, 50 m total) that can be easily reached directly from the garden through a wooden gate. An alarm and video-surveillance system keeps the house and its inhabitants safe.
