Jovian In this marvelous village we offer for sale this village house called the "Casa Torre" precisely because of its structural characteristic as it rises, on one side, for 4 floors above ground and from which the ancient stone facade can be seen view forming part of what were once the old walls of the town. The house is accessed by walking along via del Sassolungo, a cobbled street that borders the town, and then arriving in Piazza Aiattola. From the main entrance located on the ground floor, we are welcomed by a large dining area - kitchen with wood-burning fireplace, a large living room and stairwell leading to the sleeping area on the first floor, where we find two large double bedrooms, a single bedroom with access to terrace, bathroom with tub, hallway, utility room and a room used as a veranda. From the kitchen, through a trapdoor, we can reach the 3 rooms used as cellars, located in the basement, where there is the possibility of creating a beautiful tavern with typical characteristics of these villages, i.e. exposed stone, wooden beams and joists and bricks. The house is sold including furniture if desired. Excellent investment! Background: Gioviano, a small village in the Media Valle del Serchio, of Roman origin which came to life around 183 BC The first documented historical news of Gioviano dates back to 801 In the thirteenth century, the castle of Gioviano ended up in the hands of Lucca and subsequently, for a short time, was included in the Vicaria of Coreglia. A short time later it became part of the County of Coreglia, of Francesco Castracani, to then return under the same vicar and finally entered the newly created Vicaria of Borgo a Mozzano, its current municipal capital. Only a few sections of the walls remain of the ancient Castle, today the area on which it was located has been occupied by the parish church, which probably on the occasion of the various renovations and expansions to which it was subjected, slowly incorporated the vestiges and the foundations of the castle. To visit: the Parish Church dedicated to S. Maria Assunta, the Oratory of S. Bartolomeo di Sarita, the Oratory of San Rocco and the Castle of Gioviano of which some sections of the fortress walls remain today, visible in the most top of the medieval village, not surprisingly called "The Castle" Distances: Lucca: 29km Versilia: 54km Garfagnana: 21km Pisa: 56km
