An Artistic Estate with a Private Spa in the Heart of Tuscany

In the heart of the Pisan hills, in a secluded and picturesque location between Pisa, Lucca, Florence, and the Tyrrhenian coast, lies Villa Rey Bugallo: a historic residence of rare charm, where Tuscany’s artistic heritage meets the comfort of a contemporary residence of the highest caliber.

The main villa, linked to the Macchiaioli painter Augusto Rey, retains the soul of an artist’s home: perspective galleries, reception rooms, frescoes, columns, sculptures, historic details, and spaces designed to welcome guests with natural elegance. Each space tells a story, but does so with discretion: not merely as a memory of the past, but as a living, refined, and deeply Italian living experience.

The interiors unfold along a path of great architectural impact. The main floor features reception halls, a library, a dining room, a Tuscan-style kitchen, and rooms overlooking the landscape. On the upper levels are bedrooms and suites, private areas, and the artist’s historic studio, now transformed into a private movie theater. The panoramic tower offers an unobstructed view of the hills, olive groves, vineyards, and the most authentic silhouette of the Tuscan countryside.

Wellness is one of the property’s defining features. The private spa includes a heated indoor pool, a hot tub, a sauna, and a relaxation area overlooking the greenery. Outside, the panoramic infinity pool becomes a natural extension of the villa: a space suspended between stone, water, and the landscape, ideal for enjoying the property in every season.

The grounds surrounding the residence unfold across a formal Italian garden of clipped hedges, statues and colonnades, opening onto a belvedere over the surrounding countryside, and a further English-style park of some 4.3 hectares threaded with gravel paths and mature shade trees. Around 800 olive trees, vineyards and woodland extend the property toward the open valley, while a 300 sqm glass-and-steel limonaia — fully demountable — stands ready to host receptions and events even through the winter months.

Beyond the main residence, the estate also includes two further historic villas — both adorned with period frescoes and dating from the sixteenth and eighteenth centuries — together with a caretaker’s apartment and private garage. Left in original condition and awaiting restoration, these additional structures offer considerable scope for expansion, whether as further private residences, guest accommodation, or a boutique hospitality concept, without altering the completed elegance of the main villa.

Villa Rey Bugallo is not simply a villa in Tuscany. It is a property for collectors of places, for those seeking privacy, beauty, historical significance, and a quality of life that is hard to replicate. A residence capable of combining art, nature, and well-being in one of Italy’s most coveted regions.
