Built in Neo-Gothic and Liberty styles at the end of the nineteenth century, the principal villa features a red-brick façade with mullioned windows and a tower. Lake waters flow beneath its arches, where a covered boathouse provides private mooring for boats. The upper floors contain reception rooms with Liberty frescoes by Francesco Fanelli, a glazed winter garden and historic rooms associated with Giacomo Puccini, who stayed and composed here. Accommodation includes 12 bedrooms and 8 bathrooms, with 4 double bedrooms and an independent apartment with kitchen in the ancillary buildings. Created from a former boat store, the private club house offers a large stone fireplace, dining rooms for private receptions and a professional kitchen. Further flexible spaces suit exclusive hospitality, private events and productions. Mature palms and oriental botanical species, planted in the late nineteenth century, enrich this tranquil waterside setting in the Versilia hinterland, close to Viareggio, Forte dei Marmi, Pietrasanta, Lucca, Pisa and Florence.
