ASKING PRICE: € 6.000.000

This historic villa plays an important role in Lucca’s heritage, with remains of a tower dating as far back as the 5^th Century and a further tower built around the 10th-11th Century. The property underwent extensive restoration around the 15th-16th Century when it became home of one of the most important Lucchese noble families and continues to evolve with an innovative restoration by the current owner, using state of the art, environmentally friendly materials.

Original characteristics are still present in the terracotta floors, wooden beams, wrought iron forged by hand, numerous old fireplaces and original frescos. Perhaps the most outstanding architectural feature is the stunning arched loggia with it's columns, capitals & frescoes overlooking the gardens and the Lucca plain beyond.
