Upstairs the master bedroom has an en-suite bathroom and private terrace, the second double bedroom also has a private terrace and there is another double bedroom with fitted wardrobe. All presented in very good condition.

The terraces around the house lead onto paved areas, perfect for relaxing in the sun, or for barbecues or pizza parties using the outdoor pizza oven and these areas lead onto the beautifully planted garden, all with fabulous views down the valley. The swimming pool is in a great spot and the land is nicely terraced with olive trees. There is easy car access, a car port and plenty of private parking.

Licciana Nardi is a town in the Taverone valley with 13th century pedestrian street flanked with local shops. Central in the town is the Piazza del Municipio which hosts the 16th century Malaspina castle and many festivals such as the Chestnut Festival in the autumn. The castle is linked to the baroque church by a covered bridge so that the nobles had direct access to prayer and dealings with the local priest. There are also a bank, schools, restaurants and medical facilities. The nearby village of Monti has a castle on the hill above and offers a good selection of amenities.

Lunigiana is a magical part of Tuscany. The hills that encircle Lunigiana create an intimate and relaxed atmosphere whilst the blend of the mountains and sea are extremely inviting to those who enjoy the outdoors. The rolling landscape is liberally sprinkled with castles of Medici or Malaspina vintage and for lovers of the coast the sea is only half-an-hour away. The golden sandy beaches around Lerici and the pebble coves of the Cinque Terre are ideal for swimming and sailing. The area is criss-crossed with marked footpaths for walks to the hills and mountains. The airports of Pisa, Parma and Genova are all just over an hour away.
