Discover Villa Alberico, a restored historic country residence in Versilia with approximately 2,000 sqm, 11 bedrooms, sea views, vineyards, citrus gardens and a swimming pool.
A luxury historic residence in Tuscany offers something that new construction cannot reproduce: architecture shaped by generations, authentic materials and a direct relationship with the surrounding land. Villa Alberico, at the foot of Montepepe in Montignoso, brings those elements together in the celebrated coastal landscape of Versilia.
Extending across approximately 2,000 square meters, the restored country residence combines 11 bedrooms, 15 bathrooms, multiple independent suites and kitchenettes, landscaped gardens, a swimming pool and panoramic views toward the Tyrrhenian Sea.
An 18th-century residence shaped by history
The story of the estate begins in the second half of the 18th century with the construction of its original palazzina. In the early 19th century, Carlo Ludovico di Borbone, Duke of Lucca, acquired the hill of Montepepe and developed French-style vineyards with specialists brought from Bordeaux.
That wine heritage remains an essential part of the property. An 18th-century cellar occupies the ground floor, and the vineyards above the residence continue the connection between the house, the hillside and local agricultural tradition.
The L-shaped building embraces a south-facing courtyard with views toward the sea. Its composition creates protected outdoor spaces while allowing the principal rooms and terraces to engage with the Tuscan landscape.
A restoration that preserves identity
The restoration was conceived to reveal the building's history rather than erase it. Original floors, ceilings, doors and windows were recovered wherever possible. Traditional lime plaster, chestnut timber, terracotta, solid oak and local Montepepe stone give the interiors a strong sense of place.
Carrara and Bardiglio marble appear throughout the bathrooms and terraces, sometimes carved into bespoke sinks, shower bases and architectural details. Period terrazzo floors create decorative patterns, while selected rooms feature original pieces and custom furnishings.
The Pleyel Suite occupies the villa's former music room and retains a prestigious late-19th-century Pleyel piano. Elsewhere, a Murano glass chandelier, antique carpets and restored early-20th-century windows add character without turning the residence into a museum. The result is a luxury historic residence in Tuscany that remains comfortable, functional and suitable for contemporary living.
Approximately 2,000 sqm of flexible accommodation
The residence is organized into suites and apartments that provide privacy for families, guests or hospitality use. The presentation identifies 11 bedrooms, 15 bathrooms and eight kitchenettes, together with multiple living rooms and independent entrances.
The Alberico Suite extends across approximately 140 sqm plus a private terrace and includes three bedrooms and three bathrooms. The Pleyel Suite offers approximately 80 sqm with two bedrooms, two bathrooms and its historic music room. A separate Terrace Suite includes approximately 105 sqm of interiors and an 80 sqm sea-view terrace.
Additional suites and apartments - including Foyer, Marble, Vigneto, Oliveto and Le Palme - create a flexible layout that may suit multigenerational living, private guests, executive retreats or a carefully managed hospitality concept.
Vineyards, citrus gardens and a Carrara-marble pool terrace
Outdoor living is central to the estate. Century-old palms and turkey oaks frame the main terrace, while a sequence of landscaped levels descends toward a historic citrus grove planted with orange, feijoa and mandarin trees.
A lemon orchard follows the old stone wall, and below it a broad white Carrara-marble terrace surrounds the swimming pool. The combination of garden, water, vineyard and sea views creates distinct settings for relaxation, dining and private events.
The property also includes private parking, an automated gate, air conditioning, internet access, an alarm system and service areas appropriate to a residence of this scale.
The Versilia lifestyle
Montignoso places the estate between the Tuscan hills and the coast. According to the presentation, Massa is approximately 3.2 km away, the nearest beaches begin at roughly 5 km, and Forte dei Marmi is about 9 km from the property.
Pietrasanta, known for its artistic life and galleries, is approximately 15 km away. Viareggio is about 20 km, while both Pisa and Lucca are approximately 42 km from the estate. Pisa International Airport provides the most convenient air connection identified in the property materials.
This location allows owners and guests to move easily between beach clubs, restaurants, art cities, marble quarries, coastal villages and the quieter atmosphere of the Montepepe hillside.
Residential character with hospitality potential
The scale and organization of this luxury historic residence in Tuscany make it relevant to several profiles. It may serve as a substantial private family estate, a seasonal residence, an executive retreat or a boutique hospitality destination built around wine, wellness and the Versilia lifestyle.
Its value lies in the combination of preserved architecture, flexible accommodation and an established relationship with the landscape. Any commercial repositioning, operational plan or acquisition analysis should be supported by complete legal, planning, technical and financial due diligence.
