IA03381 – HISTORIC PALAZZETTO IN TUSCANY – A CHARMING RESIDENCE STEEPED IN HISTORY AND BREATHTAKING VIEWS
Just minutes from the historic walls of Lucca and nestled in the idyllic tranquility of the Tuscan countryside, Il Palazzetto degli Arnolfini is a truly unique period residence—a rare 15th-century architectural gem that seamlessly blends timeless elegance with modern-day comfort.Originally built by the noble Lucca's family, renowned silk merchants, and later passed to the prestigious Trenta dynasty, the palazzo has withstood the centuries while preserving its aristocratic soul. In the early 20th century, it became the summer retreat of one of Lucca’s most influential families in both the local economy and the international food industry, marking a new chapter in its fascinating history.Carefully restored with meticulous attention to detail and deep respect for tradition, the Palazzetto stands out for its harmonious proportions and understated elegance—qualities that earned it the affectionate nickname “palazzetto.” The residence spans approximately 420 sqm across three levels:Ground floor: warm and functional spaces including a kitchen with a fireplace, a dining room, and an ancient wine cellar.Piano nobile: the heart of social and formal life, featuring a grand reception hall, a cozy living room with fireplace, and a study.Mezzanine floor: a refined master suite complete with bedroom, private bathroom, and walk-in wardrobe.Top floor: private and versatile spaces, ideal for guests or personal retreat, including a large open-plan area, a study, and two bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms.
Perched on a small hillside spur, the property boasts uninterrupted views over the surrounding valley, while the terraced garden—adorned with ancient olive trees—and the panoramic terrace offer postcard-perfect scenery and a peaceful haven immersed in nature.Completing the estate is a ruin with potential for reconstruction, offering the opportunity to expand the living space or to add a swimming pool, guesthouse, or underground garage.
