Panoramica
Description
Living in Casciana Terme means immersing yourself in a history of wellness and refinement. Although its famous thermal waters have been known since Roman times, it was Federico da Montefeltro who, in 1311, documented the first spa facility. Transformed in the 19th century by the Grand Dukes of Tuscany and embellished by architect Giuseppe Poggi (the renowned designer of Piazzale Michelangelo in Florence), the town has earned the title of “Thermal Pearl of Italy.”
It is in this prestigious setting that this Art Nouveau villa stands, a symbol of an era of architectural splendor and social transformation.
The Art Nouveau style
Originating in the late 19th century as a reaction to traditional classicism, the Italian Art Nouveau style blends technical innovation with decorative elegance. This residence perfectly embodies its essence:
-
Carefully preserved period details: Facades adorned with unique friezes, large windows, and ornate wrought-iron railings, recently restored to their original splendor.
-
A majestic silhouette: The building is graced by an elegant observation tower on the top floor, which lends the property a stately and unmistakable character.
Interior Spaces: Spaciousness, Light, and Versatility
Spanning an area of 400 square meters, the villa features bright, thoughtfully laid-out rooms:
-
Ground Floor: An elegant front door leads to the spectacular grand staircase (flanked by a convenient freight elevator, which can easily be converted into a passenger elevator) featuring original terrazzo steps and an original wrought-iron balustrade. The living area includes a large living room flooded with natural light, a kitchen-dining area, and a half-bath.
-
Highlights: The sleeping area features two spacious double bedrooms, a study or third bedroom, and the master bathroom.
-
Second Floor: Three additional large rooms, used as extra guest bedrooms, open onto a spectacular panoramic glass-enclosed terrace—the perfect spot to relax with a good book while admiring the silhouette of the Pisan Hills.
The villa is surrounded on all four sides by a 500-square-meter private garden, meticulously maintained down to the smallest detail.
The exterior offers a private patio area designed for outdoor lunches and dinners during the summer, as well as the convenience of a driveway with access to a small parking lot and private garage .
Although the house is in good condition, it needs some renovation work.
