This grand historic residence enjoys a peaceful yet central location within the heart of Luccas historic centre. Originally built in the early 1500s for Cardinal Fatinelli and later used by Napoleon during his Italian campaign, the property remained for centuries one of Luccas grandest palaces, home to several influential families. After the Second World War, it passed into state ownership and served as the Ministry of Health for the greater Pisa and Lucca region. In the past decade, it has returned to private ownership and has since been carefully restored and modernised. Beyond its illustrious walls, a grand entrance and imperial staircase lead to the second floor, where this spectacular apartment is located. Also accessible by lift, the property is arranged over a single level and features beautifully proportioned, light-filled rooms with high ceilings throughout. The layout includes a spacious living room, a generous open-plan kitchen with a dining area, a principal bedroom suite with an en suite bathroom, and a study that can serve as a second bedroom, with an adjacent guest bathroom. The apartment also benefits from a private parking space.
Nestled in the historic heart of Tuscany, Lucca offers a rich blend of culture, history, and natural beauty. This charming city is known for its well-preserved Renaissance walls, picturesque squares, and elegant boutiques. Ideal for luxury living, Lucca provides seamless access to exquisite dining, renowned cultural sites, and celebrated vineyards, all while being a short drive from the stunning Tuscan coastline and the vibrant city of Florence.
