The monumental villas are authentic gems nestled among the hills of Lucca, immersed in a landscape alternating between centuries-old olive groves, neat vineyards, and discreet woods. The narrow, winding streets wind between dry-stone walls, while long, tree-lined avenues dramatically open up views of elegant façades, enhancing the harmonious dialogue between architecture and nature.
Designed to impress, these historic homes represent a meeting point between art, botany, and high society: in the tastefully furnished halls and gardens designed to entertain illustrious guests, the atmosphere of times gone by still exudes. The ideal time to visit? Spring, with the first blooms, and autumn, when the foliage turns golden and the countryside is scented with earth and memories.
The gardens are real mirabiliaEnchanting spaces that blend natural and decorative elements. Fountains and nymphaeums, artificial grottoes, fishponds, green theaters, allegorical statues, and sculpted hedges speak to the aristocratic families of Lucca's taste for the marvelous and the pleasures of country living.
A tour of these residences is a journey through history and style.
