The meticulous restoration has preserved the timeless charm of the property, blending historical features such as captivating frescoes from various periods, which embellish some of the walls and ceilings, with modern finishes.

Crossing the first living room, currently used as a family relaxing area, you reach a dining room and a modern, bright eat-in kitchen. Another smaller bedroom and a bathroom complete this part of the apartment. A large glass door leads to a second vestibule, which serves the other wing of the property, where there are two additional generous bedrooms and two bathrooms. From this area, a wooden staircase leads to the upper floor, where the characteristic altana is bathed in light. Here, the view is truly enchanting, with a panoramic vista of the monumental Cavalieri Church.

UNESCO World Heritage since 1987, Pisa preserves its centuries of history in the buildings and remnants visible throughout various corners of the city. Not only treasures like the Leaning Tower and the incredible Piazza dei Miracoli, but also one of the key testimonies of its glorious past is the 12th-century city walls, which still enclose what is considered the historic center of the city, divided into four main districts by the Arno River. Many writers and scientists over the years have praised the beauty of the Lungarno, and today the banks bear their names, with several grand palaces that once housed the city's most prestigious families. Pisa boasts a history of maritime power: in addition to being an important Roman port, it was one of the Four Maritime Republics, whose trade brought significant wealth to the city. However, it is particularly science that has made Pisa a thriving hub of attraction: birthplace of Galileo Galilei, the city is home to the prestigious Scuola Normale and Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna, as well as a renowned university. The heart of the city's social life is Borgo in the San Francesco district, one of the main streets characterized by a portico and elegant buildings dating back to the 14th and 15th centuries. The area is lively with stylish cafés, shops, and boutiques. Cultural dynamism and entertainment are guaranteed year-round by festivals and events taking place at Pisa's key cultural venues, with special mention of the Luminara di San Ranieri, a unique light display on June 16th that illuminates the Arno River in celebration of the city's patron saint. Just a few kilometers from the city center lies the San Rossore Park, once the summer residence of the President of the Republic and now a protected natural reserve. The city is also in an exceptional location, close to the Apuan Alps (50 km away) and the Monti Pisani hills just behind the city center, offering an ideal setting for trekking and mountain biking. Only 15 km away, the coast awaits with its beaches and fully equipped seaside resorts, perfect for experiencing a traditional Italian summer. The Pisa tourist harbour is also located here, from which one can embark on short sailing trips to the islands of the Tuscan archipelago. The port of Livorno is just 25 km away, providing connections to Corsica, Sardinia, and other European destinations. Pisa is also served by an international airport, one of Tuscany's major hubs with both domestic and international flights. Notably, the city’s rail connections allow easy access to other Italian cities. Just a 30-minute drive away, visitors can explore Lucca and the culinary traditions of the inland, while the wonders of Florence are only an hour's journey. Forte dei Marmi and the Versilia region are also within reach, just 35 km away.
