Opis:

Villa Dolce is a glamorous historic estate built in 1507 by a rich family of silk merchants from Lucca.

It is a country side estate surrounded by 10 hectars of land including olive groves (1000+ trees), 2 hectares of vineyard, and a lovely walled in garden.

The present owner has completely renovated the villa, updating it to a high standard of comfort while preserving the history of the structure in the vaulted ceilings, the great stone staircase, vaulted cellar and frescoes.

The villa also features 2 swimming pools, a tennis court, a gazebo for dining al fresco (eating outdoors) and wonderful large spaces to gather both indoors and out.

The property consists of two elegant and well equipped units, both measuring about 1500 m2.

The first unit which is the main house, consists of 4 floors (including the cellar), 11 bedrooms, 12 bathrooms, and is distributed as follows:

The ground floor includes a large dining room sitting 22-24 people, an opening to the back garden and olive groves via an antique French door, fully equipped kitchen with a Tuscan style fireplace, a study/library and 2 large bedrooms with en suite bathrooms plus an additional guest bathroom.

The first floor offers a large living room used for important dinners and conferences sitting about 80 people and 4 big bedrooms all with en suite bathrooms, one with a Jacuzzi.

The second floor offers a large movie/game room sitting about 30 people with billiards table and large projector screen, in addition to 5 other bedrooms, 3 of which have en suite bathrooms.

Lastly, the vaulted cellar is a piece of history as it remains from the original structure and used for the aging of the wine.
