Villa Di Piletra is a noble residence where centuries of history echo through wood-beamed ceilings and Renaissance design. Originally commissioned for the court of Elisa Bonaparte, Napoleon’s sister, this remarkable villa is one of a dozen historical estates gracing the hills outside Lucca. Today, its elegant symmetry and sweeping gardens invite guests into an authentic and atmospheric retreat, where tradition and charm are woven into every stone.

Inside, the villa blends touches of aristocratic beauty with a relaxed, lived-in character. The Piano Nobile is especially striking, accessed via the grand staircase and home to a formal dining room, study and impressive salon adorned with ornate ceilings. Across four floors, guests will find a variety of inviting spaces to unwind, from tranquil living corners to lively games rooms or cosy TV lounges. The interiors reflect a layered history, where original architectural features meet gentle modern touches, creating a home that feels rustic and storied yet welcoming.

Sleeping 10-16 guests, Villa Di Piletra features five attractive air-conditioned bedrooms, each with its own bathroom, alongside three charming attic rooms with low, sloping ceilings. Every corner of the home offers a moment of discovery, culminating in the top-floor loggia where panoramic views stretch across rolling hills.

Outdoors, the expansive grounds invite long, leisurely days beneath the Tuscan sun. Wander among ancient trees, cool off in the generous 18-metre swimming pool or gather for al-fresco dinners under the gazebo. As evening falls, aperitivi in the garden, beneath a canopy of stars, become moments to savour.

Just north of Lucca, this residence enjoys a coveted position between countryside and cultural riches. Explore the nearby opulent gardens of Villa Reale or head into Lucca’s historic centre for cycling along Renaissance walls, fine dining or world-class music festivals. From the beaches of Forte dei Marmi to the galleries of Florence, this is Tuscany at its most captivating.

Whether gathering with family or friends, Villa Di Piletra is for guests seeking a rich, authentic and evocative setting where heritage and character unfold in equal measure.
