17th-century villa in need of renovation works

This exclusive period property is one of the finest examples of 17th-century Lucchese country villa architecture. It sits in a private and reserved location and originally belonged to the noble Benassai family.

The property is accessed through an elegant avenue lined with cypress trees, and surrounded by approximately 2 ha of land, which guarantees complete privacy, still being close to the historical centre of Lucca and all its services and shops.

The villa enjoys approximately 1000 sq m of living space and features, in a central and elevated position, a splendid loggia - also known as "belvedere", bordered by columns, with wide panoramic views over the countryside.

The property spreads over three levels, connected by a staircase, and houses several rooms, including a large reception hall on the first floor, which occupies the central part of the villa in all its depth, adorned with paintings of country scenes, and enlightened, on both opposite sides, by three windows, which guarantee not only brightness but also panoramic views of both the garden in front of the villa and the land at the back.
The second floor is also on staggered levels, as the central part, above the large living room, is higher.

A complete renovation of the villa and its gardens will bring the property back to its original splendour.
