Dimora Botanica — Historische Villa Mit Botanischem Park In Der Nähe Von Lucca

Just a few minutes from Lucca’s Renaissance walls, Dimora Botanica is a historic Tuscan estate set within approximately 6 hectares of private grounds, combining the charm of a period villa with the flexibility of a property that can evolve over time.

The estate is centred around a historic villa of approximately 780 sqm, complemented by a 300 sqm farmhouse with three independent apartments, additional outbuildings, and a workshop requiring renovation. Mature trees, olives, a vineyard, fruit orchards and a remarkable botanical garden create a landscape of rare character and privacy.

The main villa unfolds across three levels. The principal floor, reached via an elegant external stone staircase overlooking a wisteria-covered pergola, features a sequence of frescoed reception rooms that retain the refined atmosphere of a traditional Lucchese residence. The upper floor hosts the sleeping quarters, while the ground floor reveals the estate’s more authentic rural soul, with a traditional Tuscan kitchen, original marble sinks, a billiard room with a large fireplace, historic cellars and an old olive press.

One of the property’s most distinctive features is the natural separation between the villa and the farmhouse. A small gate framed by English roses leads into a second area of the estate, almost resembling a small Tuscan hamlet. Here, three independent apartments, shared spaces and a professional kitchen create a setting perfectly suited to extended family living, guest accommodation or future hospitality projects.

Outdoor living plays a central role throughout the property. Courtyards, terraces, pergolas and shaded garden rooms unfold among centuries-old trees, while a magnificent Cedar of Lebanon stands at the centre of one of the estate’s most atmospheric spaces. The large outdoor areas naturally lend themselves to private gatherings, celebrations and entertaining.

The location offers an increasingly rare balance between accessibility and privacy. Lucca’s historic centre is just minutes away, while Pisa, Florence, the Versilia coast and Tuscany’s international airports can all be reached with ease.

FH Perspective

What makes Dimora Botanica special is not simply its architecture or its size, but the balance it achieves. Between private living and hospitality potential. Between historic elegance and rural authenticity. Between house and garden. A property that offers multiple possibilities while preserving a clear and deeply rooted identity.
