Description
In Vorno, one of the most sought-after areas of the Lucca countryside, stands this splendid property, a true jewel of 17th-century architecture.
Just a short walk from the village church, yet immersed in greenery and sheltered by lush vegetation, the villa has a surface area of 740 sqm and was built at the center of a large estate of approximately 16 hectares, featuring characteristics found in several historic Lucchese villas: a raised piano nobile, an entrance portal with a double external staircase, a spacious portico, and a layout of rooms arranged around the central hall.
The garden uphill from the villa is enclosed by a wall supporting a terraced olive grove, within which lies one of the most beautiful and well-preserved nymphaea in the Lucca area. The garden downhill, on the other hand, is distinguished by a large central fountain.
On the piano nobile, one side opens onto the living area comprising an office, dining room, kitchen, and study/library. The other side houses the bedrooms: one master bedroom with an anteroom, two single bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a walk-in closet. The second floor has been only partially restored and includes a master bedroom with bathroom, a wardrobe room, and a study, while the attic spaces still require restoration. The semi-basement level contains several service rooms (bedroom, bathroom, and laundry), the original kitchen, and rooms used as cellars.
Adjacent to the villa is a farmhouse of approximately 200 sqm in need of renovation, as well as two outbuildings used as storage, totaling approximately 120 sqm.
