In Vorno, one of the most sought-after areas of the Lucca countryside, stands this splendid property, a true jewel of 17th-century architecture.
Just a short walk from the village church, yet immersed in greenery and sheltered by lush vegetation, the villa has a surface area of 740 sqm and was built at the center of a large estate of approximately 16 hectares, featuring characteristics found in several historic Lucchese villas: a raised piano nobile, an entrance portal with a double external staircase, a spacious portico, and a layout of rooms arranged around the central hall.
The garden uphill from the villa is enclosed by a wall supporting a terraced olive grove, within which lies one of the most beautiful and well-preserved nymphaea in the Lucca area. The garden downhill, on the other hand, is distinguished by a large central fountain.
On the piano nobile, one side opens onto the living area comprising an office, dining room, kitchen, and study/library. The other side houses the bedrooms: one master bedroom with an anteroom, two single bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a walk-in closet. The second floor has been only partially restored and includes a master bedroom with bathroom, a wardrobe room, and a study, while the attic spaces still require restoration. The semi-basement level contains several service rooms (bedroom, bathroom, and laundry), the original kitchen, and rooms used as cellars.
Adjacent to the villa is a farmhouse of approximately 200 sqm in need of renovation, as well as two outbuildings used as storage, totaling approximately 120 sqm.
The property in Vorno, Capannori, offers serene Tuscan countryside living with easy access to major destinations. Pisa International Airport is a 25-minute drive, while Lucca’s cultural sites are reachable in 15 minutes. Enjoy the local charm with nearby vineyards and exquisite dining options. The picturesque setting makes it ideal for nature lovers, yet it’s conveniently close to transportation links for broader explorations.

Lucca, a fortified town rising amidst vineyards and olive trees in the hills of Tuscany, is one of the main art cities in Italy. The most important European textile center since the Middle Ages, it keeps track of a rich history in the elegant and majestic villas with magnificent parks outside the walls, that once were the residences of the wealthy families active in the silk trade. What amazes most the visitors, however, are the Renaissance walls of the XV century surrounding the historic core of the city. The works promoted in the XIX century by Elisa Bonaparte Baciocchi, in honor of her brother Napoleon, led to the current structure of the central square Piazza Napoleone. The city also boasts many medieval churches of great architectural impact which make it gain the nickname of “the City of 100 Churches”. Lucca is one of the prides of Tuscany for its beauty and enchanting atmosphere and, thanks to this, many foreign visitors, after visiting the city and admiring its culture, choose it as a place to establish their second residence.
