CLASSICAL EPIPHANY

Tuscan villa

In the tranquil beauty of Tuscany’s hilly landscapes of vineyards and olive groves, punctuated by cypress and oak trees, sits this historically significant property. Located just outside Lucca, the elegant villa boasts commanding views over the rolling Tuscan hills.

The property includes the remains of a tower dating back to the 5th century and another tower built around the 10th-11th centuries. The property underwent extensive restoration around the 15th-16th centuries, when it became the home of one of the most important Lucchese noble families.

The current owners have continued to work on the property and have carried out an innovative restoration using state-of-the-art, environmentally friendly materials, while retaining many original features. The terracotta floors, wooden beams and hand-forged wrought iron are original, as are numerous fireplaces and frescos. Perhaps the most outstanding architectural feature is the stunning arched loggia with its columns, capitals and frescos overlooking the gardens and the Lucca plain beyond.

In addition to the beautifully restored main villa with 1,300m² of living space, the property consists of a separate 2-bedroom annex, a chapel and a large stable that can be restored. The villa is surrounded by olive trees and gardens, and there are two stunning swimming pools.

Part of the beauty of the building is its history, and by incorporating that into the design, the villa has maintained the integrity of a true timeless property.

Price: €6 million.

Historical villa in Tuscany

Tuscany has few peers – even in Italy. Everywhere there is beauty, history and culture. Florence is Europe’s finest Renaissance city, Siena one of its most perfect medieval towns, and San Gimignano, Lucca, Cortona and Pienza some of the loveliest smaller centres imaginable.

This historic estate is located in northern Tuscany, and covers 22 hectares in the plain, stretching from south of Lucca to the Pisani Mountains. It is an excellent location, within close distance from the cities of art of Lucca, Florence, Pisa and Siena, the seaside and the mountains of Apennines and Apuan Alps.

The 700m² historic and magnificently renovated Tuscan villa sits in a beautiful 10,000m² park. In addition, the estate also hosts two other buildings, including a second villa of 180m² referred to as ”the holiday home,” with its own 2,000m² garden.

For anyone wanting to establish a boutique hotel, or simply live in one the most commanding houses in the northern Tuscany, this property represents a unique investment opportunity.

Price: €11 million.
