Villa Bongi

The ground floor welcomes you through an elegant entrance into a living room with fireplace, dining area, and spacious kitchen with pantry. A veranda extends from the kitchen, complete with a wood-fired oven for pizza and bread. The laundry, guest bathroom and utility room complete this level. Upstairs, four bedrooms and a master suite branch off from a grand hallway, alongside two bathrooms and an antechamber.

The master suite includes its own fireplace, walk-in wardrobe, private bathroom and access to the villa's tower. Outside, the 14 x 7 metre pool sits surrounded by exotic plants, with a pool house containing a lounge, kitchen and bathroom. The pool house adds an extra relaxing area with a kitchenette, bathroom and service rooms. A tennis court provides recreation, while gazebos offer shaded spots throughout the grounds.

From here, the Versilian coast beckons within half an hour, including Forte dei Marmi and Viareggio. Pisa lies approximately 20 minutes away, Florence just under an hour. The property includes 22,000 square metres of grounds with Italian gardens and ancient olive trees, plus an underground garage with wine cellar. Cleaning service comes three hours a day, three times weekly. Days might begin with tennis, move to poolside reading, then end with homemade pizza from the wood oven.
