17th Century Baroque Villa in Lucca Countryside

Want to catch a glimpse of how the aristocracy of Lucca lived? How about holding your reception in one of the few historic villas that still maintains a structured Renaissance Garden, complete with statues, fish ponds and sunny citrus trees? Enjoy your cocktail hour roaming through the fragrant gardens. Then adjourn inside the villa to a dinning area that boasts the original frescoes of the neo-classical painter Stefano Torfanelli, carefully restored to their former glory.

This aristocratic villa, just minutes from Lucca's historical center, is for rent by the day and can easily accommodate both small and large wedding parties. It has central heating throughout, which makes it one of the few historic villas capable of hosting a cold weather wedding. Due to the grace of its gardens and the elegance of its architecture, it has long played host to many of Europe's sovereigns and ambassadors. So, if you are looking to celebrate your wedding in a site that evokes epic grandeur and Baroque decadence, then this just may be the perfect villa for you.
