“La Luna nel bosco” is a spacious apartment, recently and finely renovated, located on the 1st floor of the dependence of a suburban 19th Century Villa. It is included in its beautiful Condominium with large secular park, SEASONAL swimming pool and tennis court. It is a perfect spot from where to explore Tuscany, and where to come back and relax on the wonderful private panoramic terrace, or in front of the fireplace's warmth in winter times. You will feel right at home. This charming Villa (named "Villa Maria"), is located on the slopes of Montenero hills, just outside the city of Livorno and it was once the summer residence of a rich family of shipyard entrepreneurs. The apartment is fully equipped, and guests will find upon arrival essential foods for their basic needs (water, salt, sugar, jams, tea, coffee, oil...). The rooftop terrace is provided w/ table, chairs, BBQ, together with 2 sun-loungers and umbrellas on summer times. Pool, tennis court and park are part of the CONDOMINIUM COMPLEX: guests may have to share these spaces and facilities w/ resident owners, and they are therefore required to respect the Condominium Regulation Rules exposed inside the house.

Despite being reachable in just 2 or 3 minutes from junction "Montenero" of the Variante Aurelia, the apartment is surrounded by countryside, by olive and pine trees, forests of oak and shrubs and by the essence of Mediterranean landscape, with the colours, smells and sounds that connote it in different seasons. From here in 10 minutes you can reach the centre, the city seafront promenade with its historic bathing facilities, the beautiful Terrazza Mascagni with the Marine Aquarium, and the wonderful wild Romito cliff. A little further southward, in 10/15 minutes you will arrive at the pleasant tourist-seaside resorts of Quercianella and Castiglioncello and then to the beaches of Vada, Donoratico and Marina di Castagneto, while driving northward in 15/20 minutes you'll reach the long Tirrenia beach with its establishments, playgrounds and nightclubs, up to Marina di Pisa and Versilia.

The ferries, from the city port, daily connect with the main islands of the Tuscan Archipelago, while, as for the art cities, PISA is just 25 km far, LUCCA about 40, and in less than an hour you'll be in FLORENCE. Within the same time, southward, you can reach the jewels of the Etruscan necropolis of Baratti and Populonia, further on Volterra, the geothermal phenomena of Larderello and everywhere the delightful ancient villages of the upper Maremma and Chianti, all remarkable points of the Tuscan eno-gastronomic itineraries. Here I moved about 40 years ago, and here I still live with my daughters, in a small apartment close to "La luna nel bosco". I am still in love with this place as when I firstly saw it, and I thought it could be a good idea to share its charm with other people, taking advantage of an old family property at the same time.
