Boutique Tuscan Hamlet in the Lucca Hills

This property is on the market for €7,950,000, listed with Prestige Property Group.

Dating back to the 16th century, the Tuscan villa and hamlet is surrounded by olive groves and vineyards, overlooking the valley and city of Lucca.

Built for the local Lord of Lucca Vincenzo Guinigi as a country seat, the 16th century Tuscan villa was later improved by his son, Tommaso, who added the south-facing Doric porch with magnificent arches, improved the surrounding park, and embellished the interiors with frescoed hall and rooms.

The 36 acre estate comes with several houses and annexes, including an olive oil mill, stables, a barn, workshops and cellars.

Restored to its former glory, the 50 room residential complex boasts a luxe wellness complex located in the ancient cellars of the property, complete with an indoor swimming pool, sauna, jacuzzi, as well as a gym and tennis court.

The property also has a fabulous swimming pool terrace overlooking the surrounding countryside.

With its idyllic setting in the Tuscan hills just outside Lucca and its proximity to the heart of Italian Renaissance—just an hour from Florence!—the property poses an attractive opportunity for boutique tourism in one of Italy’s most beloved landscapes.
