Nestled high in the hills of Versilia above the Italian village of Bargecchia and just over half an hour from Pisa, lays charming Villa Gobbi Benelli — a luxury Tuscan retreat for 12 guests, with stunning panoramic views of the Leaning Tower, the surrounding countryside and Mediterranean seas beyond. Built in the 16th century, the historical villa is an architectural delight, with elegant decoration throughout. An impressive approach is achieved with the building’s perfectly symmetrical façade, neat shuttered windows and the prettiest pale terracotta frontage against an azure sky. The living accommodation strikes the perfect balance between comfort and luxury, comprising grand hall-floor day rooms — the East Wing’s Billiard Hall and Reading Hall provide the perfect places to relax, whilst the West Wing offers the magnificent Cristal Hall with its collection of glass and porcelain treasures on display, Frescos Hall, and the Music Hall overlooking the garden and pool area. Outside, the seven hectares of enchanting villa gardens are immaculately kept, with captivating views over the Tuscan coast, providing an ideal situation for special events and wedding ceremonies. Moments from the villa, the small hamlet of Bargecchia offers groceries and a quaint piazza with cafes, restaurants and the ancient church, famed for the story of Puccini’s visit – upon hearing the tower’s four bells, he later included their sounds in his opera, Tosca. The owner of Villa Gobbi Benelli lives in a private apartment within the villa, and maintains the highest levels of guest privacy at all times. There is a staffed kitchen for the purpose of seasonal guest meals, providing rest and relaxation away from the usual routines of home. By arrangement these meals can also include celebratory gala dinners, lavish outdoor dining and historical dinners, all forming part of the highest levels of service and creating an unforgettable stay in the Tuscan countryside.
