Luxurious historic villa with swimming pool in Tuscany

Villa Trovarsi is picturesquely nestled in the rolling hills of Tuscany, around 20 kilometres south of Pisa. The typical Tuscan landscape, characterised by oak and chestnut woods and numerous vineyards, lends the surrounding area its unique charm and makes it stand out as an important wine region. The area can be wonderfully explored along the famous Strada del Vino delle Colline Pisane.

To the north-west, an impressive view opens up from the villa over the plain of Pisa to the horizon, where the majestic Apuan Alps complete the panorama on a clear day. Numerous historic towns in Tuscany are within easy reach from here for day trips.

Architecture and history
The villa is a classic example of architecture from the second half of the 19th century. Originally built under the name ‘Villa Fattoria Filicchi’, it belonged to the wealthy Conti family. In the time of Cesira Filicchi Conti, a tower was added, which still characterises the estate today. The villa's spacious, protected park was designed by the renowned architect Arturo Conti, who also designed the Archaeological Museum of Athens. The Libyan cedars, which are up to 300 years old, are particularly impressive. The villa was once a meeting place for the influential families of the region and is surrounded by olive groves and vineyards.

Plot and outdoor areas
The estate covers a well-kept area of around 30,000 square metres, consisting of woodland, lawns and parkland. The sunny swimming pool is harmoniously embedded in the listed park and offers an oasis of peace and absolute privacy.

Condition and location
The villa is in excellent general condition and has been lovingly maintained and renovated by the owners over the years. All important facilities for daily needs are nearby; the village of Fauglia is only about 3 kilometres away. The transport links are ideal: the Fi-Pi-Li motorway (Florence-Pisa-Livorno) and the motorway are just a few kilometres away, as is Pisa International Airport (20 km). Pisa, Lucca (40 km), Florence (80 km) and the coast (20 km) are also within easy reach.

Interiors
The spacious villa with approx. 600 square metres of living space impresses with its perfectly proportioned rooms and artistically designed ceiling frescoes. It offers families and friends an ideal retreat to enjoy relaxing hours.

Special features
The cellar (cantina) is ideal as a wine cellar. A small building near the entrance gate - the limonaia - was once used to overwinter the lemon trees in large ceramic pots.

History and atmosphere
The famous actress and muse of Luigi Pirandello, Marta Abba, lived in the villa from 1963 to 1984. She gave the property the name ‘Villa Trovarsi’, inspired by a play Pirandello had written for her. Her vision was to establish a cultural centre here - an idea that attracted numerous artists to the area, including the painter and sculptor Giorgio Kienerk.
