The villa offers eight double bedrooms and one single bedroom, accommodating up to 17 guests. The staff reside in a separate dependance within the grounds, ensuring both discretion and attentive service. Since its construction, the estate has remained within the same family, who have long been dedicated to breeding thoroughbred horses. Today, it is available for exclusive rental, complete with an experienced staff accustomed to hosting guests for extended stays, as well as organizing refined lunches and dinners, often enjoyed poolside. Villa Marigold was built in 1901 by the current owner's great-grandfather. At the time, the family, prominent Italian entrepreneurs, also cultivated a strong passion for horse racing, an element that continues to shape the character of the estate. The location of the property was carefully chosen due to its proximity to the San Rossore Natural Park, which once housed one of Italy's principal training centres for racehorses. Situated between Rome and Genoa, the estate enjoyed a particularly strategic position. The San Rossore Natural Park encompasses approximately 9,000 hectares of unspoiled landscape, extending to beautiful, untouched beaches. The area is rich in wildlife, including numerous bird species, deer, wild boar, and other fauna. The estate is also ideally located near Forte dei Marmi, Pietrasanta, and Lucca, renowned for their exceptional restaurants, celebrated seaside destinations, art galleries, and wineries. For cultural pursuits, Pisa, with its iconic Piazza dei Miracoli, is one of Italy's great treasures, while Florence can be reached in approximately one hour by car. CIN IT050026C2URBOWWB3
