Quality development of five three bedroom villas using distinct architectural designs in a stunning location with panoramic views of the snow capped Alpi Apuane of Massa Carrara. The villas have a magnificent view of the Medieval castle of Bibola which sits upon a hill top, dominating the valley.

The development is due to be delivered in early 2009. The villas are designed using the local architectural style yet integrating all modern ingredients for a perfect harmony. The terracotta floors, chestnut beams and exposed stone work give a truly rustic feel; while quality materials will be used for all fixtures and fittings. Balconies and terraces allow you to enjoy the wonderful south west facing vista of the Tuscan Alps.

The villa built in stone and brick is on two floors with terrace, swimming pool and garden. A communcal area exists where you can wander through the woods, in a natural idyll and take time for a peaceful picnic - your own Tuscan paradise.

Tuscany has seen price increases of at least 10% per annum over the last decade, but in north Tuscany prices have remained stable. With major development (coastal resorts and golf courses) and funding from the EU (support for any tourist development in Lunigiana and Liguria) the forecast is a capital growth of between 10% and 15% in this area.

The luxury rental market is well established in Tuscany and easily verified, with achievable summer rentals around 6,000 Euros per week. Realpoint are in negotiation with several Agents and may be able to offer guaranteed rental schemes. A full Property Management service will be provided.
