Nr 2 apartments in a historical villa

“Living in a historic apartment means living history: walls that hold secrets and resonate with the past.”

This elegant historic villa, of notable architectural value and embellished with large rooms rich in natural light, overlooks the avenues of the Lucca ring road.
The property enjoys a privileged position, directly opposite the imposing Sixteenth-century walls and the characteristic tree-lined avenues built during the time of Duchess Maria Luisa of Bourbon, between the late Eighteenth and early Nineteenth centuries.

This elegant villa, of significant historical and artistic interest, represents a rare example of early Twentieth-century Liberty architecture. Inside, two apartments are for sale, located on the first and second and top floors.

Access to the apartments is from the main entrance on the North side, via an elegant central marble staircase with a refined wrought-iron railing, or via a modern glass elevator that guarantees full accessibility even for people with disabilities.

The rooms have retained their original charm over time, with precious period details: Lucca-style single-glazed windows, doors with stained-glass inserts, original Tessieri floors – an early-production of last century.

Panoramic tower
From the second floor, a spiral staircase leads to the evocative square tower located on the Eastern corner of the villa, which offers stunning sceneries of the city of Lucca and its walls.
The tower is shared by the three apartments present in the villa.
The villa is embellished with decorative frescoes that enhance its unmistakable Art Nouveau style.
The property is completed by a magnificent garden of approximately 700 sqm, located on the South side of the house.
In 2002, major restoration work was carried out on the facades and roof, with conservative recovery of the original decorations.
