The villa rises on four levels offering a splendid view of the Tuscan hills; it consists of a large living area with frescoed living room and fireplace, an eat-in kitchen, a dining room and a quiet and private sleeping area. The cellar with splendid vaulted arches is remarkable. The recently renovated dependance consists of 6 bedrooms and another residential building is divided into 4 apartments which have also been renovated. The property enjoys a large private park of 40 hectares; 29 hectares are dedicated to arable land and the remainder to the private garden which is perfectly maintained. The property includes the prestigious farm which benefits from the production of meat and cheese thanks to the breeding of stable animals.

Lucca is rich in historical luxury properties and carefully preserved landmarks such as the amphitheater, the forum, and the Romanesque churches. According to some historians, the original ancient Ligurian settlement probably owes its importance to the Etruscans. Occupied by the Goths and then by the Byzantines, Lucca then became one of the most important capitals of the Lombard kingdom. Over the years, various domains have followed one another but what is certain is that Lucca was one of the most important cities of the Italian Middle Ages and its grandeur and magnificence is still evident today
