Villa in the Roma Imperiale pinewood with pool and tennis court

In summer the Roma Imperiale pinewood smells of resin and sea, and the light filtering between the trunks seems cut in blades. The 1962 villa stands amid 3,000 m² of garden with umbrella pines, a lawn, a fifteen-metre pool and a clay tennis court. To the north, beyond the rooftops, the Apuan Alps change colour with the hours.

The 600 m² spread over three levels: a large living room with fireplace and sliding glass onto the terrace, the dining room, a kitchen with pantry and wood-fired oven, seven en-suite bedrooms, a gym, a playroom. The terrace, of 150 m², is half covered by a wisteria pergola.

The three-room cottage houses staff or guests. Home automation, alarm and CCTV, heat-pump heating, four parking spaces. The sea is six hundred metres away, reachable by bicycle along the avenues.
