This elegant early-20th-century villa sits on a hill in Corsanico. It boasts breathtaking views of the Versilia coastline and Puccini’s beloved Lake Massaciuccoli, with beautiful gardens to enjoy them from. A private pool perches on the hilltop, surrounded by centuries-old olive trees and orchards. There’s a barbecue to cook on and an alfresco dining space in the shade of a portico. The villa is traditionally Tuscan in style, with terracotta tiles and shuttered windows. You’ll be close to the scenic village of Corsanico and the beaches of Viareggio – what more could you ask for?
