The Villa
During the lifetime of the Villa, that dates to the half of the 16° century, the architectural decorations and frescoes have suffered a great deal, including having been completely covered by whitewash at the beginning of the twentieth century. A careful programme of restoration has brought the Grand Salon back to its former glory. The same care and attention has been taken in both the wine cellars and the buildings which make up the Borgo, which have also undergone structural renovation, in order to maintain their local character.Local stone was used throughout the estate.
Screened from the road, the stately aspect of the Villa, gives the estate its imposing character, whilst at the same time guaranteing a high degree of privacy. The extensive area of the Villa has allowed the "Piano Nobile" to retain all of its original features, the first floor has a particularly charming apartment and the impressive apartments on the second floor all offer spectacular views. The wine cellars now house a Spa with a unique atmosphere, open all year round. Thanks to its position above the plains of Lucca and Capannori, the panoramic vistas from the villa, the park and the Borgo ensure that guests feel an immediate sense of tranquillity and relaxation.
The Spa
For hundreds of years the cellars of the Villa were filled with barrels of wine and tanks for storing olive oil, which at the time were important wealth reserves of the nobile family that owned the estate.
Today, after a careful rebuilding programme of modern restoration techniques, they now house a heated swimming pool and Jacuzzi, sauna, fitness room and relaxation areas.
The Spa is open all year round to residents of both the Villa and the Borgo and is controlled by a state of the art electronic water heating and dehumidifying system.
The Borgo
The group of buildings which make up the Borgo, were once the productive heart of the Villa farm, now they have been reborn thanks to a programme of rebuilding in which great care has been taken to preserve their rural character, using traditional fittings and colours. The Borgo offers homes which vary in size from small lofts to apartments of approximately 200sqm some over more than one floor and many with private gardens.
