Surrounded by olive groves and vineyards, on a hill not far from Lucca, is set on a top location the breathtaking Villa Carnicelli. Once the home of the noble Carnicelli family, it was recently restored to its historic grandeur using only ecological, sustainable, and plastic-free materials.

Behind the imposing facade, you will find a fascinating mix of original details such as the old cotto floors, wooden doors, and beams that are combined with a minimalist interior with modern furniture and design pieces from Minotti, Vitra, and Bolia, among others.

The villa will exceed your expectations in terms of comfort and facilities! Everything is equipped to a high standard down to the smallest detail. You will find large common areas such as a television/family room, an impressive living with a marble fireplace and a beautiful collection of LPs, a large dining room, and a professional kitchen that is stocked with almost everything you can think of. On the first and second floors, there are four (ensuite) bedrooms and a yoga room with mats, cushions, and lounge chairs for a moment of relaxation.

In the perfectly maintained 4,000 m² gardens with ancient oak and lime trees, you will find several outdoor lounges and dining areas for al fresco evenings. In addition, a private swimming pool where you can refresh yourself on hot summer days and enjoy a glass of prosecco with family and friends. Coming home to this serene paradise after a day of sightseeing and watching the sun go down is the best end to the day.

There is a lot to see around Villa Carnicelli. The historic cities of Lucca, Pisa, and Florence are within easy reach or opt for a day at the sea at the beaches of Viareggio or Lido di Camaiore (45 minutes). Closer to home - within walking distance - are organic and biodynamic wineries where you can try wines and some great restaurants serving classic Tuscan dishes.

Meet the people behind the place: Villa Carnicelli

In the hills near Lucca, Margherita, Alberto, and their daughter Francesca discovered a historic villa full of quiet promise. With love and intention, they transformed Villa Carnicelli into a warm, sustainable retreat where serenity, beauty, and hospitality come together.

This is Tuscany at its most authentic: refined, personal, and deeply meaningful.
