Going through the gates of the Villa Ricordi- Casa sotto la Torre is like going through a portal beyond which you are immersed in a world that smells of ancient times.
The large garden surrounding the villa is an ideal place to rediscover the harmony and simplicity of the past, perhaps reading a book in one of the 'secret' corners, or even just relaxing with birds singing.
Giacomo Puccini, precisely because of the beauty of these places and for his peace, had his Villa built here (where he still lives) and where he drew inspiration for his immortal melodies ...
Do you know why bamboo grows in our garden?
Because this place is full of emotions, which open to your senses naturally, giving you harmony and an atmosphere that has no equal.
Casa Sotto la Torre - Villa Ricordi - is an ancient art nouveau villa of the early last century, cloaked in that mysterious and serene charm that only these houses are able to convey.
Casa Turandot, occupies the entire ground floor, and is very welcoming with its three double bedrooms, its high ceilings, the kitchen and the living room with the fireplace and direct access to the garden and to the private pergola which guarantees privacy and freedom, two bathrooms complete the house.
A Casa Butterfly, located on the entire first floor, is accessed through a suggestive external staircase. To welcome us, once you cross the threshold, a beautiful stained glass window leads us into the real house, which opens with a very bright eat-in kitchen, facing south. Two adjacent bathrooms serve 4 double bedrooms, one of which with a delightful balcony overlooking the garden and the tree-lined avenue leading to the nearby lake.
At 300 meters from the Villa, on the shores of the lake, there is the villa-museum of Giacomo Puccini, and near the Gran Teatro where every year, in the summer, the master's works are represented: among his most famous harmonies we remember Madama Butterfly, La Turandot, Tosca .... which attract thousands of fans and not about this magnificent theater on the shores of the lake.
A beautiful and fresh belvedere on the lake will give you moments of relaxation, where you will find well-kept flower beds, restaurants and ice cream parlors ...
The bus stop is right in front of the Villa.
