Artistic inspiration brings to life a unique creation known as VILLA FARFALLA. This dream place is a laboratory, a place of experimentation and meditation designed by the owners, architects, artist and designer for the most famous Italian Companies. The Villa, the guest house and the Pool are real jewels of contemporary architecture and technology immersed in the Tuscan nature. This extraordinary property is located in the first hills around Lucca. The panoramic view from the Villa is extraordinary. You can perceive the entire city of Lucca and its walls. The property consists of the main villa and the guesthouse in 10 hectares of olive groves and woods located on the nearest Lucca hills, 200 meters above the city, just at 10 minutes. An helicopter landing available upon request. The whole property is a real jewel of contemporary architecture immersed in the Tuscan nature. The buildings are clinging on a hill of white marble like the one of Carrara located nearby, which internally has been exposed on three levels. Everyday cleaning of two hours, 24h concierge, are included in the price. Possibility of Cook and special services are available on request.
The Architecture of the two constructions is very bright and transparent. It is thought in total harmony with nature which is omnipresent. Another feature, the iron shutters that shade in summer and catch the light deeply in winter. The interior is organized around a spectacular staircase represented as a red dazzling evening dress. Rock of white marble is present in the house and appears on the three floors. Architecture, furniture, lamps, sculptures, almost everything has been conceived, designed and custom made for the villa by their owners. Sculptures from the wife are exposed inside and outside both properties. The Hydraulic roof The two wings of the roof of the villa open at a 30 ° angle like the wings of a butterfly. The two wings totaling 110 square meters open with 6 hydraulic pistons. This is the first house in the world with a hydraulic roof. This allows natural ventilation to cool the house and brings to the villa a very unique magic sensation of literally sleeping under the stars.
Ecological Architecture The villa has been awarded one of the most ecological and exceptional homes in Italy by TV channel "National Geographic" on the show "Case piu verde d'Italia, it also won the Architectural award “EXPO STONE AWARD 2015” together with the “FREEDOM TOWER WORLD TRADE CENTER” in New York and the “BRIDGE TOWER” in London. The pool The pool is overflowing, it has an area of 70 square meters, is 26 meters long and has a depth of 1.20 meters . It includes an area of 16 meters in length for swimming, another larger area for playing and a Jacuzzi area. At any point in the pool, as well as from its terrace you can enjoy a breathtaking view of the city of Lucca. If arriving by car, it is suggested to drive or to inform the driver of the vehicle that the vehicle itself should be within 2 meters in width to be able to pass through a straightaway (20 meters in length) in the road before reaching the property.
