Airport 60-100 kms | | Lovingly restored, the watermill complex stands
beside the River Rosaro.
Around the courtyard an elegant Tuscan house and some of the historic mill buildings have been carefully converted in five spacious apartments (3 x 2 bed and 2 x 1 bed), all with views of the garden and the river. (There is planning permission for a sixth apartment.)
Each apartment is self contained, fully equipped and centrally heated. There is a bright and airty artists' loft studio and characterful outbuildings. Courtyard parking and garage. |
| Extensive outside areas include sun-filled terraces and plunge pool, mill stream walks, woodland, bamboozery, walled gardens, secluded seating areas and, beside the courtyard, millstone tables under the vines for meals outdoors.
The gardens extend for about a quarter of a mile beside the river and along the millstream. | |
Posara is a small friendly village, with ancient houses and narrow alleyways, surrounded by vineyards and fields of maize and sunflowers.
Nearby Fivizzano (a few minutes by car), with its imposing defensive walls, was designated a 'noble town' by the Grand Dukes of Tuscany, and is the place to enjoy Italian life, with its cafes, shops and restaurants. Above the town, the scenery becomes spectacular, with
beautiful views over the mountains, olive groves and chestnut forests.
Fivizzano is in Lunigiana, Tuscany's hidden gem. The unspoilt villages and towns of Lunigiana are close to the sea and the resorts of the Gulf of the Poets (where Byron and Shelley stayed) and less than an hour from the marvellous walled city of Lucca and from Pisa airport. And the nearby autostrade take you to Florence in less than two hours. | | While the watermill is being offered as a private house, the current owners have run a successful holiday business there for many years. The five apartments are usually fully let during the season and there are also very successful painting course weeks at the watermill, with internationally renowned tutors. Many of the self-catering holidaymakers and painting holiday students return year after year. Most are British, but there is an
international clientele as well. Goodwill from guests, suppliers and agents are also available with the sale of the property.
