Luxury Holiday Villas in Lucca

Where to stay for your luxury holiday in Lucca

There is so much to see and do on a luxury holiday in the Lucca region of Tuscany, and it certainly offers holidaymakers the best of both worlds. Discover some of Tuscany’s most wonderful rural landscapes, fascinating towns to explore, and a stunning stretch of coastline. Finding your ideal luxury villa depends entirely on the rhythm of your holiday.

Lucca historic centre and countryside

Choosing a luxury villa in the gentle plains or low hills surrounding the province’s capital city offers a truly authentic lifestyle. Staying here allows you to easily pop into town to cycle along the famous tree-lined 16th-century ramparts or relax in the iconic, oval-shaped Piazza dell’Anfiteatro. It’s an ideal setting for those who love daily Italian rituals, like a morning passeggiata (leisurely stroll) through the streets, combined with peaceful countryside seclusion.

Vorno and Mount Pisano foothills

Tucked away at the foot of Mount Pisano, the village of Vorno and its surrounding valley are synonymous with prestigious country living. Choosing a luxury villa in this lush, green enclave puts you within a short drive of both Lucca and Pisa, making it an exceptional base for travellers who want a private, tree-lined sanctuary with quick access to central Tuscany’s cultural highlights.

The Versilia Coast and Forte dei Marmi

For a luxury holiday that incorporates the glamorous Italian beach lifestyle, the western edge of the province of Lucca is unmatched. This world-famous stretch of coast features long, pale sandy beaches lined with exclusive, private beach clubs. Staying near towns like Forte dei Marmi or Viareggio allows you to pair your luxury villa experience with designer shopping, delicious seafood restaurants, and relaxed days by the Ligurian Sea.

Things to do on a luxury holiday in Lucca

There is a wealth of things to see and do in the city of Lucca itself. The city is arguably most famous for its walls. These old Medieval walls encircle the entire city and have been turned into a park area.

On Sundays it’s not uncommon to find a Park Run taking place, whilst throughout the day it’s the perfect setting to enjoy your daily passeggiata. Within these walls, there is plenty to discover. Probably Lucca’s second most famous attraction is the Torre Guinigi.

The tower is easily distinguished from the others in the city due to the tree growing from its top. It’s worth making the climb to the top of the tower to admire the roof gardens and view over the city.

And, after that, why not just enjoy wandering through Lucca’s charming streets. The city is affectionately nicknamed the ‘city of one hundred churches’, so see how many you can tick off! There are a number of charming piazzas where you can sit and relax. Our favourite of these is the Piazza dell’Anfiteatro.

If you’re visiting in the warmer months, why not escape the city and head to Lucca’s beaches. This is the stretch of the Italian coastline that rich Italians flock to each Summer. Our beach villas in Tuscany can be a great option if you want to be near Lucca but also close to the seaside.

Frequently asked questions about booking a luxury holiday in Lucca

Is Lucca a suitable destination for families with young children or seniors?

Lucca is the perfect destination for both the old and the young. A compact, largely pedestrianised city, it’s easy to explore on foot. The city walls are perfect for little ones. Here, bikes, tandems and four-pedal carts provide a safe and enjoyable way to explore the city. There are also plenty of piazzas where children can burn off some energy. Unlike many towns in Tuscany, Lucca is relatively flat, making it ideal for older visitors, who will also appreciate the many benches around the city walls where you can stop, pause, and enjoy the surroundings.

How close are the beaches from a country villa in Lucca?

If you want to be close to the beaches of Tuscany’s western coast, then we have seaside villas within walking distance of Tuscany’s sandy shores, such as Cassina Rossa in Forte dei Marmi. However, if you prefer a more rural setting, opt for one of our villas within a 30-minute drive of the nearest beach.

Can you arrange private events or weddings at these properties?

Many of our Lucca villas are suitable for weddings, celebrations and private events.  Some of our villas will charge an event fee whilst others are happy to host events free of charge, dependent on guest numbers. Whilst we’ll take care of the accommodation and venue on your behalf, we are proud to work with some outstanding wedding planners who can help arrange all the finer details of your big day. Whether you need help with the catering, music, flowers or legal arrangements, we’ll do everything we can to make your wedding planning stress-free.
