Long panoramic balconies and terraces encircle the upper floors of the villa, offering breathtaking views over the plain, the town of Massarosa, Lake Massaciuccoli, the Apuan Alps, and the Versilia coastline. Please be aware that photographs of the garden were taken in spring, and therefore the blossoming of flowers and the colour of the grass may differ from what you will find upon your arrival. The swimming pool, facing south and appearing almost suspended above the open landscape before it, is rectangular with 2 rounded sides and measures 9 x 6 metres at its widest point and 9 x 3 metres at its narrowest, with a variable depth ranging from 1.70 metres to 2.40 metres. Painted internally in blue with a stone edge and a metal access ladder, the pool is equipped with internal lighting and a salt purification system, and remains open throughout the entire year. Please note that the swimming pool is not heated.
Unit Layout
Villa Dolphin is designed to comfortably accommodate up to 10 guests across 5 beautifully appointed bedrooms and 5 bathrooms, distributed over 3 floors that are connected both internally and externally. The ground floor is accessed through the main entrance, which opens into a hallway providing access to a laundry room, a bathroom with shower, and a spacious living area furnished with sofas and a table football. This ground-floor living space is entirely lined with glass doors that open directly onto the sunny deck surrounding the pool. An internal marble staircase connects the ground floor to the first floor, which can also be reached via external stairs running alongside the pool up to the first-floor terrace. On the first floor, an open-plan area bathed in natural light from French windows leading to long panoramic balconies encompasses both the living room and dining area. This floor also includes a kitchen with direct access to the garden, 1 double bedroom, and a bathroom with shower. The second floor is dedicated entirely to the sleeping quarters and features 4 double bedrooms. 2 of these bedrooms each have their own open-plan bathroom with shower, while the remaining 2 double bedrooms share a bathroom equipped with a hydromassage shower. A long panoramic terrace on this floor overlooks the sweeping views of the open plain, with Massarosa and Lake Massaciuccoli in the foreground.
