Historic Villa in Lucca, Embracing Tuscany's Charm

Details

The exposed beams, high ceilings, and decorated ceramic floors immediately set the tone of this 17th-century villa, where the architectural dimension is tangibly felt, room by room. The frescoes on the walls and the painted ceiling details add depth to interiors that retain a strong character, further warmed by the presence of a stone fireplace and the natural light streaming through the windows. It is a property that combines spaciousness and substance, with environments capable of conveying a sense of continuity between inhabited history, comfort, and a reserved daily life. The numbers clearly convey the property's significance: 1,685 square meters of commercial space distributed across 35 rooms, with 11 bedrooms and 8 bathrooms, within an estate that spans 40,000 square meters externally. The villa, built in the 1600s, is set in a vast green context, where the private garden becomes an integral part of living. Outside, the yellow facade with green shutters and wooden windows harmonizes with gravel paths, expansive lawn areas, large terracotta pots, and trees that accompany the access to the buildings. The visual notes also reveal the presence of a second building, both with tiled roofs, immersed in a wide and orderly vegetation. Inside, the spaces alternate between reception rooms and more intimate environments, always marked by recognizable elements such as geometric floors in shades of red, blue, and white, exposed beams, frescoes, and large openings that allow light to filter through. The presence of an elevator adds a valuable functional component in a property of this scale. The private garden of 40,000 square meters changes the rhythm of the days and opens up a way of living made of walks along the path, outdoor moments on the lawn, and a continuous relationship with the greenery surrounding the villa. The interiors, thanks to the size of the rooms and the light that passes through doors and windows, lend themselves both to family life and to occasions of meeting and representation. The property's substance, combined with the number of bedrooms and the distribution of spaces, suggests an important residence, also suitable for those wishing to consider a use related to hospitality, always respecting its original identity. A villa of this kind finds a coherent context in Lucca, in one of the most recognizable areas of Tuscany, where history, countryside, and quality of living maintain a rare balance. For its size, layout, and scenic presence, the property represents an asset of great substance, designed for those seeking space, privacy, and an authentic relationship with the territory.
