Villa 10 sovrum, 3200 m²

Capannori, Lucca (provins)

In the rolling hills of Lucca stands a majestic historic villa, once owned by Caroline Bonaparte, Napoleon’s sister and Queen of Naples. Covering over 3,200 sqm, the estate includes the main villa, a refined annexe, and a private 18th-century church, all surrounded by six hectares of landscaped grounds with a lemon house, ancient wash houses, two swimming pools, terracotta statues, and manicured paths. The villa, with 16th-century origins, was transformed into a monumental 18th-century country residence by the Orsucci family before passing to aristocratic dynasties. Its grand southern façade, double staircase, and Juvarra-inspired design reflect its noble character.
Inside, the piano nobile boasts a vast double-height hall, adorned with paintings attributed to Pier Dandini and stuccoes by Sebastiano Puccini, alongside finely decorated salons and the celebrated red chamber. The estate’s annex offers five elegant guest suites, while the historic lemon house and expansive park add charm and prestige. Located minutes from Lucca’s Renaissance walls and within reach of Pisa, Florence, and the Versilia coast, this property is both an artistic legacy and a rare investment, uniting history, beauty, and exclusivity in Tuscany.
