In the heart of the Lucca hills rises a majestic 18th-century villa, one of the most enchanting historic residences in Tuscany. Once owned by Carolina Bonaparte, sister of Napoleon and Queen of Naples, the property spans over 3,200 sq. m., surrounded by six hectares of monumental parkland. The garden, adorned with boxwood hedges, terracotta statues, and gravel paths, features a splendid historic lemon house, two panoramic swimming pools, and ancient washhouses.
The origins of the villa date back to the 16th century, but it was in the 18th century, under the Orsucci family, that the building achieved its monumental form. The main façade, with its double staircase and stone moldings, leads to interiors of extraordinary elegance: the central double-height hall, decorated with stuccoes by Sebastiano Puccini and large canvases attributed to Pier Dandini, stands as one of the most impressive examples of 18th-century Lucchese decorative art.
On the ground floor are the ancient kitchens and service areas, restored with respect for the original structures. The main floor hosts a harmonious sequence of salons, bedrooms, and frescoed halls, enriched with period furnishings and tapestries. The top level, with ceilings up to six meters high and currently undergoing renovation, includes additional rooms and sitting areas that complete the elegant layout of the villa, already fully restored on the two main floors.
Next to the villa, the restored dépendance offers five double bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms, ideal for guests or high-end hospitality activities. Completing the property is an 18th-century chapel, preserved in all its grace and spirituality. The park, with its designed perspectives and the scents of its Italian-style garden, opens onto panoramic views embracing the plain of Lucca, Lake Bientina, and the Florentine hills.
A residence that harmoniously blends history, art, and natural beauty, just minutes from Lucca's Walls and ideally located to reach Pisa, Florence, and the Versilia coast. A true jewel of the countryside of Lucca, where every detail tells the grandeur of the past and the promise of timeless elegance.
