The elegant villa oozes Tuscan style with a terracotta charm and a modern twist. The lush green extensive 3-acre estate has a garden that rolls away from the swimming pool and is edged with tall trees and a bamboo forest with plenty of hidden seating areas for private time or connection with others. Villa Lucida is located opposite one of the famous 17th century extraordinary architectural Lucchese palaces called “Villa Mansi”. Lucca is just a short day trip to the charming cities of Florence, Pisa, and San Gimignano/Volterra. Join us for this indulgent experience!

Organic Wine Tasting & Walk
The tasting, which takes place on a beautiful farm with a vineyard and olive groves, is a moment of great concentration that deserves to be lived intensely to discover the most fascinating features of a wine. The hills of Lucca and Tuscany are famous for their vineyards and wineries, which produce excellent quality wines. It would, therefore, be a shame to visit the region without living this unique experience.
Villa Lucida is located on the Strada del Vino e dell’olio di Lucca map, which highlights the nearby Lucchese wine and olive oil producers in the Lucca area. We will have a wonderful short hike from the villa to the local organic farm to spend a few hours on a private tour and have this unforgettable experience.
At the end of this long walk, you will enjoy a tasting of bread, focaccia, local cheese, extra virgin olive oil, and three of our wines.

Lucca – the town known for some of Italy’s finest medieval and Renaissance architecture and, above all, is known for its grand 16th-century walls that protect the whole city.

Private Tour of Villa Torrigiani
Two magnificent wings of cypresses, about one kilometer long, announce the theatrical façade of Villa Torrigiani, one of the finest examples of baroque architecture in Tuscany.
The villa and park in Camigliano (Capannori) date back to the early 16th century when they belonged to the powerful Buonvisi family. During the second half of the 17th century, both were purchased by Marquis Nicolao Santini, ambassador of the Republic of Lucca , to the Sun King’s court. Santini transformed it into a sumptuous home with flowering gardens and large baths, which reflected the villa’s façade.
