In the hills outside Lucca, one of Tuscany’s grand historic estates has returned to the market with provenance few properties can match, acquired in 1836 by Caroline Bonaparte—Napoleon Bonaparte’s younger sister and Queen Consort of Naples.

Known locally as the Pink Grotto, this waterfront Amalfi Coast villa was designed by Gae Aulenti — the iconic architect behind the Musée d’Orsay — and it’s unlike anything else on the Mediterranean.

Nestled amidst the rolling hills of Tuscany, just a short drive away from the cultural hub of Florence, lies a hidden gem that exudes timeless Tuscan charm and unparalleled elegance in Bagno a Ripoli.

This historic villa with a private beach is located in Cannobio, a picturesque town on the shores of north-west Lake Maggiore in Piedmont, Italy, situated just a few kilometers from the Swiss border.

Lake Maggiore, often overshadowed by the more touristy Lake Como, has remained more of a hidden gem in the famed Italian lakes region of Italy.

If Tuscany has Chianti, then Emilia-Romagna has the Motor Valley, where speed was born and the great Italian automobile factories (Ferrari, Lamborghini, Maserati, etc.) were founded, and became famous the world over.

Hidden from view, Villa Le Magnolie is accessible through a romantic, winding driveway from the coastal town of Rapallo on the Italian Riviera, one of the most sought-after regions in Italy,

Set in the heart of Tuscany just 30 minutes from Siena, the restored villa offers incredible views of the Tuscan landscape, from Crete Senesi to Val d’Orcia, and across to the towers of Siena on clear days.

Offering 360° views of the rolling Tuscan hills, the Italian farmhouse is set in 243 acres of land just 12 km from Volterra.

The 30 acre country estate for sale is set in the most renowned olive production areas near Florence, surrounded by ancient cypresses and olive groves.
