Historic villa with several outbuildings on the lake

In Tuscany, near the historic city of Lucca, which is only 17 km away, we offer for sale a prestigious historic villa with several outbuildings, set like a precious stone between the hills and the lake. Leaving the highway at Massarosa, following the signs for the town of Quiesa , we reach the lake, where the road, overlooked by the typical fishermen's cottages, leads us to the 'entrance of the property where we find a private church and car parking.
The property consists of several buildings some of which have been renovated and used for receptive purposes. At the entrance we find a colonial building (No. 4) with no roof, once used as a warehouse, a little further on the left with the lake in front, is located a building on two levels (No. 5. and No. 6) of which, the one on the ground floor used for tastings of typical products of the area and the first floor for residential use. Adjacent to this building is a single-story building (No. 7) for events or ceremonies with adjacent clearing rooms and a little further on the lemon house (No. 8). Continuing on the right we find the small private church (No. 3) ,and a building (No. 2) on three levels joined to the dock, where on the first floor there is a cozy B&B. Finally, with the majestic main facade facing the lake, we find the most striking villa ( No. 1 ) in Versilia in Neo-Gothic style, with its enchanting exotic garden crossed by the calm waters of the canal accessing the lake, along which stand majestic palm trees.
The Villa ( building No. 1 )
The Villa of 19th-century layout in Tuscan neo-Gothic style, on four levels above ground and a total area of about 1,200 square meters. The ground floor used as cellars and storerooms is accessed directly from the garden, protected by a portico characterized by round arches resting on brick columns. On the canal in the part below the hall of the first floor was built the dock, to provide shelter and allow mooring for fishing boats or visitors from the residences located on the shores of the lake. On the first floor via two stone staircases positioned near the dockyard for those coming from the lake and the other near the pedestrian entrance for those coming from the mainland or the villa grounds. Both stairways lead to a loggia with an ornate floor and inlaid wooden coffered ceiling, which overlooks the lake with a breathtaking view.
As soon as you enter the building, large living room still furnished overlooking the lake from ornate walls and ceilings and the various rooms that make up the entire floor, where we find the kitchen, dining room, paved with a beautiful wooden mosaic, on which sits the billiard table and the piano forte. Going up an elegant staircase made of white Carrara marble, we reach the second floor where a central corridor paved with small square wooden inserts leads us to the two bathrooms and the nine cozy bedrooms paved with wood mosaic and lit by mullioned windows. Going further up to the top floor, we find the servants' quarters, and today used as a storage and clearing room, where it is possible to make nine more rooms and the bathrooms. Finally, a spiral staircase leads to the tower floor, from which to admire the beauty of the hills, the nearby Apuan Alps, and the vastness of the lake, on the opposite shore of which, near the ancient watchtower, stands the Villa of Maestro Giacomo Puccini. It was from his villa, at one time bordering the waters of the lake, (before the square was built), that Maestro Puccini left for his hunting trips or to Villa Ginori aboard his motorboat, where near the landing stage, following the canal, passing under the villa, he moored the hull in the safe and welcoming dock.
