Villa Trovarsi is picturesquely nestled in the rolling Tuscan hills, about 20 kilometers south of Pisa. Typical Tuscan hills, oak and chestnut forests and numerous vineyards characterize the surrounding area and give it the character of an important wine region. This can be explored along the famous Strada del Vino delle Colline Pisane.
To the northwest, the view from the property extends over the Pisan plain to the horizon, where the Apuan Prealps rise majestically on clear days and complete the panorama. Numerous historic cities of Tuscany are within easy day trips from the villa.
The villa itself is a classic example of architecture from the second half of the 19th century. It was once built under the name “Villa Fattoria Filicchi” and belonged to the wealthy Conti family. During the time of Cesira Filicchi Conti, a tower was added to the building. The villa’s large, protected park was designed by architect Arturo Conti (architect of the Archaeological Museum of Athens, among others) and is home to impressive Libyan cedars that are up to 300 years old. The villa was once an open meeting place for the region’s influential families and is still surrounded by olive groves and vineyards.

The estate comprises a well-kept area of ​​approximately 30,000 square meters with woods, lawns and parks. The sunny swimming pool is nestled in the classified park and offers an oasis of peace and complete privacy.
The property is in excellent general condition, having been lovingly maintained and renovated by the owners over the years. All major services are nearby; the village of Fauglia is approximately 3 km away. The location is ideal: the Fi-Pi-Li (Florence-Pisa-Livorno) highway and the motorway are just a few kilometers away, as is Pisa International Airport (20 km). Pisa is 20 km away, Lucca 40 km, Florence 80 km and the coast is only 20 km away.
The spacious villa, with around 600 square metres of living space, impresses with its well-proportioned rooms and artistic ceiling frescoes. Here, families and friends will find an ideal retreat to spend relaxing hours. On the upper floor, a separate apartment with two bedrooms, bathroom, kitchen and roof terrace can be created.

The prestigious entrance area on the ground floor leads to two living rooms, each with impressive marble fireplaces. From here, you also access the staircase and the spacious, modern eat-in kitchen with dining area – an inviting space for cooking and eating together. Large double French windows open up all the living areas on the ground floor to the green Tuscan countryside. Also on the ground floor are a bathroom, a guest toilet, the laundry room and the storage room.

On the first floor, there is a further living room or study, five bedrooms, five bathrooms and a dressing room. A narrow staircase leads to an additional bedroom in the tower and the picturesque roof terrace overlooking the greenery.

The property has an underground room, the so-called “cantina”, ideal as a wine cellar, and a small building near the entrance gate: the limonaia. Here the lemon trees were stored in large ceramic pots during the winter.

Overall, the estate exudes a relaxed and harmonious atmosphere and is the perfect place to fully enjoy the beauty of Tuscany.

The famous actress and muse of playwright Luigi Pirandello, Marta Abba, lived in the villa from 1963 to 1984. Inspired by a play Pirandello wrote for her, she named the property “Villa Trovarsi”. Marta Abba wanted to establish a drama school here and had several plays staged on the estate – an attempt to realize her vision of a cultural center. Numerous artists, including the painter and sculptor Giorgio Kienerk, lived in the immediate vicinity.
Pirandello is one of the most important playwrights of the 20th century and was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1934.
