Description
Majestic 18th-century villa in Lucca
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.
