Main Features:

A Centuries-Old History: Purchased in 1649 by the nobleman from Lucca, Alessandro Massei, the villa was then restored between 1650 and 1656 to become a prestigious summer residence. In 1866, it was acquired by the Capuchin monks, who made modifications for their religious life and teaching. Later, the villa was meticulously restored in 1995 by the Grossi/Cervelli family, who uncovered its magnificent frescoes, returning the villa, lemon house, and garden to their former glory.

Interior Elegance: The villa features 17 suites, ranging from 20 to 60 sqm, each with panoramic views of the garden and surrounding hills. The suites combine modern comfort and traditional Tuscan style, with terracotta floors and beam ceilings. Five of these suites have been recently renovated in a contemporary style that integrates perfectly with the villa’s historic architecture.

Versatile Spaces for Events: Two large dining rooms and salons ideal for events, receptions, and conferences. The villa is also equipped with an industrial kitchen, fully equipped for large-scale events. Additionally, the lemon house, transformed into an elegant space for conferences and meetings, enriches the property.

Italian Garden and Heated Pool: The 5000 sqm Italian garden is a serene corner where you can walk among the scent of roses and the sound of fountains. The heated swimming pool is surrounded by lush vegetation, while the large sunbathing area is perfect for enjoying the tranquility and privacy of the property.

Frescoed Church: The frescoed church, an integral part of the villa, symbolizes the fusion of art, history, and faith. An element that further enriches the cultural value of this residence.

Enchanting Location: The villa is located 2 km from the center of Lucca, allowing for easy exploration of the city’s artistic and cultural wonders while enjoying the tranquility of the surrounding countryside.
