Restored villa property near Lucca Tuscany

Located in the scenic hills south of Lucca, this historic villa offers a perfect blend of timeless elegance and modern restoration, all within easy reach of a small town. The 470-square-metre (5,057-square-foot) villa, featuring 6 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, has been meticulously restored to preserve its original charm, including beautiful frescoes and artwork throughout. The property also includes outbuildings that offer excellent potential for conversion into guesthouses or service areas, adding further versatility to this prestigious estate.

Set within a beautifully landscaped park, the villa features a 12 x 6-meter swimming pool, surrounded by olive trees, creating a peaceful, relaxing atmosphere. The nearby village, just under a kilometre away, provides all essential services, and larger towns such as Lucca and Capannori are just a 20-minute drive and the renowned Versilia coast is approximately 40 kilometres away.

The villa spans four floors and dates back to the 16th century, with expansions during the 18th and 19th centuries.
– Basement: large cellar, currently used as a storage;
– Ground floor: reception hall, living room, double dining room with porch, kitchen, private office, bedroom with bathroom, manorial chapel and laundry;
– First floor: living room, master bedroom with en-suite bathroom, four bedrooms and two bathrooms;
– Second floor: partially habitable attics.
The most recent updates were made in the early 20th century, preserving much of the villa’s 18th-century architectural charm. Inside, the ground-floor reception hall blends Art Nouveau and Renaissance styles, featuring stunning paintings by Vincenzo Barsotti. The first floor boasts a living room adorned with trompe-l’œil frescoes depicting the surrounding countryside, with neo-Gothic details that echo the colonnade once prominent in the villa’s grounds. The bedrooms are decorated with painted curtains in a style that merges Empire influences with 16th-century motifs. The careful restoration has brought these elements back to life, revealing hidden treasures that had been covered for decades.

In addition to the main villa, the property includes a small warehouse with an oven that could be transformed into a charming summer kitchen. At the estate’s entrance is a former coach house (245 square metres) and a ruin (70 square metres), both of which could be renovated to create additional living or guest spaces.

The villa is nestled within well-maintained park gardens of 4,900 square metres, offering stunning panoramic views. The property has 6.4 hectares of land, including a large olive grove, arable land, and a Mediterranean forest, providing privacy and seclusion while still conveniently located. This unique estate offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of history in one of Italy’s most picturesque regions.
