Located in the ancient homonymous medieval village, a short distance from the historic spa of Montecatini, it is a precious glimpse of a time when the supremacy of Italian art, history and style, were undisputed.
This charming property is a lovingly restored apartment within a 2 storey house, with a private and independent entrance and a private panoramic garden area with a covered veranda.
Inside there is a careful choice of materials: from serene stone, local travertine, terracotta tiles, natural linen fabrics and prestigious sought-after furnishings, to the delicate porcelain services branded Richard Ginori.
From the outdoor garden and the windows of the house you can enjoy the spectacle of the Valdinievole, the surrounding villages and small hill towns, the ancient Monasteries, while nearby are breathtaking views and renowned Tuscan wineries. All the above is an attempt to allow you to get a feeling for this unique property, of which a mere description of facts and figures do not do any justice at all.
This property is accessed by one of the winding roads of the small town of Massa e Cozzile, with an independent external stone staircase which leads to the outdoor garden and terrace and the main entrance. From here the property develops on a single ground floor, and covers a net floor area of around 80m2. The main entrance opens onto the beautifully appointed living room and dining room with exposed chestnut beams ceiling, 2 windows opening onto the beautiful panorama of the Valdinievole below. To the far left is a stool counter which opens onto the kitchen, small but with every appliance needed. A small corridor with access to a storage/utility room and a master bedroom en-suite. The master bedroom has character to give away. Antique furnishing, white washed ceiling, well appointed en-suite with venetian plastered walls, and then the beautiful bed linen, which are part of the sale as everything seen in the images. From the far side of the living area there is access to another room, which would have been originally the man entrance hallway as it still has a blocked off entrance door which would bring to the other access to the property. This room, also with panoramic windows, can be used as a studio or second living room, but mostly becomes a second bedroom, with its own bathroom en-suite with a bath.
On the outside the terraced garden hosts a Jacuzzi with amazing views of the valley below and a covered terrace with an outdoor table and chairs.
The property is fully functional, connected to all main services and it is ready to live in.
The sale includes all the hard and soft furnishing, including the beautiful sets of bed and bathroom linen, the porcelain sets marked Richard Ginori, lovely cutlery and crockery, and everything else as seen in the images published.
The location is very quiet, made for those in search for tranquillity but at the same time close to other main attractions. It is a perfect second home to be used in all seasons, and also an excellent opportunity for holiday rental when not used.
It is not for the faint hearted; access to the house, like for the other residents in this part of the town, is on foot, while the car can be parked just a hundred metres below, unless you become a proper local resident, and buy yourself an Ape Piaggio.
MAIN DISTANCES:
Services and amenities 4 km; Montecatini Terme 7km; Pistoia 25 km; Lucca 30 km; Pisa 55 km; Florence 60 km.

Buying Real Estate in Italy
1. Making the Offer to Purchase (Offerta)
Once you have found the property you wish to purchase you will start the process by making a formal offer to the vendor, the estate agent will act on your behalf and put forward the offer, a deposit will be made available, generally around (10,000 - 20,000 EUR). Once the vendor has accepted the offer it will be formalised in writing to the vendor in both English and Italian. If this is accepted the deposit (Caparra Confirmatoria) will be paid to the vendor. This will form a legally binding contract. Neither party may withdraw at this point, the sale can be forced by either party or a claim for damages can be made. If the purchaser withdraws their deposit will be lost, if the vendor withdraws the purchaser can claim twice the deposit in compensation.
2. Signing the Preliminary Contract (Compromesso or Contratto preliminare)
The next step will take place between 1 and 3 months after the offer has been accepted, this is a formal agreement between the vendor and purchaser to sell and buy the property, this agreement is the Preliminary Contract and will contain the conditions and terms of the sale. It is important at this stage that you have a full understanding of all the details contained in the contract. We would strongly recommend that you appoint a Notary who is fluent in English. This document will include the purchase price, a detailed description of the property including completion date and will cover any obligations placed upon the buyer and the vendor. All information relating to the property including any planning permissions for the property and the cadastral details (a public record, survey, or map of the value, extent, and ownership of land as a basis of taxation). Once the Preliminary Contract (Contratto preliminare) has been signed a further deposit (Caparra Confirmatoria) will be paid, this will generally be 10% - 20% of the purchase price. There will also be an estate agents Commission Fee (Provvigione) which will need to be paid at this point.
3. Signing the Final Deed of Sale (Rogito or Atto Notarile)
The purchaser must have a bank account in order to make the purchase on completion. The signing of the final deed of sale which will authorise the transfer of the property must be overseen by a Notary (Notaio). The buyer will select and hire the Notary, but they are members of an independent body of public/professionals who will draft the purchase deed, they will oversee the passing of the title legally from the vendor to the purchaser. The Notary will also verify the legality of the documentation and registration with the Conservatoria dei Registri Immobiliari and the Local Land Register.
4. Formalities to be observed after Completion
Foreign buyers should obtain a certified copy of the Purchase Deed (Rogito), which the Notary will have lodged with the authorities. Generally this will be available to collect around 2 – 3 weeks after completion. The Notary will also give you a form to complete for the the local authority (Questura) who will have been given formal notice of the purchase. Your Notary will help you to complete this form. You will need to contact the utilities companies to set up new contracts (power, water, telephone, gas etc.). If the property is a flat, the condominium manager (Amministratore del condominio) should be informed of change of ownership of the property.
