Located just seven
kilometers from Lucca, this is an elegant and richly
decorated 18th century villa. It has its own
chapel and is set in the midst of a very impressive
and historic vineyard estate once owned by Count
Cesare Sardi.
The personality of the
villa, however, remains unchanged, maintaining its
authentic charm with beamed ceilings, frescoed walls
decorated with a typical Lucchese tapestry and
portraits of family ancestors.

Lucca Nobile is set on
a 32 acre family owned vineyard estate in the
peaceful hills surrounding Lucca. The villa is a
superb example of traditional Lucchese architecture
and, following this tradition, has three floors and
a classical Italian style garden which is 2.5 acres
in size. Located just outside of the property is a
small chapel that was, historically, the chapel of
the villa and the neighboring borgo. Mass is
celebrated here every Sunday at 9am. There are also
some farmhouses on the large estate behind the villa
where the vineyard workers live.
The private garden is filled with a variety of trees
indigenous to the area as well as fragrant plants
and roses. There are several furnished outdoor
areas for relaxing and dining al fresco. Comfortable deck chairs and sun loungers can be
found near the swimming pool, which is located in a
pleasant panoramic position. There is also a
barbecue for guests' use.
