Description
Villa Memento is exactly that; a comfortable home filled with fascinating art and interesting, unique collectibles from all over the world. The structure itself is thoroughly enjoyable, but its true charm and pleasure is derived from the objects which lay within. The process of transforming this 18th century-old barn was deliberate and thoughtful. Natural colors, chosen mostly in shades from beige to gray, and important textural touches (such as the leather armchairs, the cast of the holders, the wrought iron old-style fixtures on the ground floor, the white Carrara marble in the kitchen) seamlessly harmonize with the important works of art. As a result, the villa is unique and stylish, refined and elegant, but it is never too ostentatious - the perfect balance of contemporary, rustic and classic styles.
The property is situated in Camaiore, a perfect location for a group of friends or a family reunion. Camaiore is a pristine town tucked between Apuan Alp Mountains and The Tyrrhenian Sea, a real gem of the Versilia, famous for its unforgettable white beaches. Here everything is possible; if you are looking for peace and quiet you are in the right place because the villa is completely surrounded by nature, but if you want nightlife just a short distance away are places like Forte dei Marmi and Pietrasanta offering fun, shops, entertainment and many opportunities to relax and enjoy your free time.
The large park/garden surrounding the property is approx. 5000 square meters (almost 1.25 acres) and includes interesting works of art, a pool area and house, an outdoor kitchen with large wood-burning oven, barbecue, an organic vegetable garden, fruit trees, and a parking area for four cars. Also available is an independent annex with a staff bedroom and a small fitness center (exercise bikes, steps by Technogym, weights). A romantic long driveway leads to the parking area, passing through olive trees, poplars, cypresses and laurels.
Villa Memento is 300 sq. meters (3230 sq. feet) and consists of two levels. The ground floor features a large living room with fireplace, a secluded TV/home theater room (with a 52-inch screen and Dolby surround sound), a dining room with large window overlooking the garden of boxwood, jasmine, strawberry and grape vines, and a large professional kitchen area with gas oven, kettles, professional dishwasher, large fridge/freezer, and ice maker. Just outside the kitchen there is a wisteria pergola with table and chairs for al fresco meals. Upstairs are four double bedrooms each with an ensuite bathroom, French windows overlooking the garden, and a TV. Large, stone walls ensure warm temperatures in winter and cool ones in the summer.
