Palazzo d'Arcato lies in a mountain medieval village called Lugliano, a few kilometres from Bagni di Lucca and not far from Lucca, in Tuscany. The Palazzo was the creation and dream of two Australians, both with a love and passion for all Italy has to offer.
This 16th-century Palazzo was restored by highly skilled traditional craftsmen and designed by a renowned, credited architect from the region. With perfection and attention to detail, the construction continued over four years, finishing in 2006. The building with approximately 530 sqm of living space consists of four 5-star luxury apartments overlooking an inviting pool area and mesmerising mountain views.
It is set in a relatively undiscovered part of Tuscany, far removed from the touristy areas south of Florence. Traditions are strong, hospitality generous, and the pace of life relaxed. It is a land of scattered medieval villages and castles set in lush green hillsides covered in vineyards and olive groves, leading to the foothills of the mountains with hidden flower meadows, chestnut woods and eventually shady pine forests – a walker's paradise within some of the most dramatic landscape to be found in Tuscany.
On the ground floor, there are two apartments, both with direct access to the common areas. The first apartment consists of a dining room with a cooking corner, a bedroom with built-in robes and a dressing room and a spacious bathroom. Both the bedroom and the living room have direct access to the garden and pool. The 2 nd apartment is composed of: Kitchen, living room with sofa bed, bedroom with built-in robes and bathroom with Carrara marble cladding. The common areas include a barbecue area, a storage room and the pool with garden and panoramic views of the valley.
The third apartment on the (middle level) first floor has three bedrooms, two of which share the main bathroom, and the large main bedroom has an en suite. There is a fully equipped kitchen with an original stone stove, dining room, and sitting room with balconies off both rooms, providing relaxing evenings watching the sunset.
The 4th apartment on the second floor (top level) has two bathrooms and two bedrooms, both with built-in robes, and the main bedroom with an en suite. An additional bedroom/office/studio is located on the attic floor. There is a gourmet kitchen with quality appliances, a living room with an old stone fireplace and a dining room in the original chapel. The lounge area opens to an expansive outdoor area offering views across the valleys and beyond. This entire apartment has central reverse cycle cooling and heating.
Garage, additional laundry, workshop and garden storage. The adjacent garage was recently purchased and restored to a high standard by the village's builders. This building offers garaging for three cars with a remote roller door and direct access to the property. Down a spiral staircase is a storage/workshop area, and another room is occupied by laundry facilities. An adjacent room offers space for garden equipment and pool accessories.
The Palazzo is surrounded by a perfectly maintained garden of 1000 square metres, with a pool overlooking panoramic views of medieval villages and mountains and is currently used as a business structure. The furnishings of the Palazzo come with the sale.
