Villa Elisa is an exclusive property located within the ancient walls of Lucca, just two minutes’ walk from the main squares of town.  Everything is within walking distance!

Lucca is famous for its tree-topped medieval walls. Its streets are lined with elegant shops and charming restaurants, and an outstanding antiques market is held on the last weekend of each month. Some of Italy's finest villas and gardens, many of which are open to the public, are tucked into the surrounding hills. Explore medieval hill towns, each with its own unique personality. Hike in the Cinqueterre, visit the white marble quarries of Carrara, or relax at a nearby thermal spa. Lucca is just 60 minutes from Florence, 30 minutes from Pisa, and 20 minutes from the chic beaches of Viareggio and Forte dei Marmi.

Palazzo Elisa was built during the 16th century and is set in the heart of the historical center of Lucca.  This ancient building belongs to a well-known Italy family and has been restored as a charming luxury home. The three-story villa has five double bedrooms (two are on the ground floor), all with en suite bathrooms; three of the bedrooms are air-conditioned, but one of these overlooks the living space and is not fully cooled. There is private parking for two cars, and an inner courtyard garden. The house has modern comforts but maintains its original character with authentic frescoes and antiques.

This is the ideal place for guests who want to live in town without sacrificing the luxury and comfort of a countryside villa. Palazzo Elisa is a unique and aristocratic mansion, an authentic jewel that preserves the charm of ancient Lucca.
