Set within its own private parkland just moments from Lucca, Grand Villa Clara is a distinguished eighteenth-century estate that embodies the elegance and grandeur of classic Tuscan living. Surrounded by manicured gardens and centuries of history, the villa offers an exceptional setting for large family gatherings, celebrations, retreats and memorable escapes with friends.
Originally built as a noble residence, the villa retains many of its period features while providing the comfort and practicality expected of a contemporary luxury stay. Generous reception rooms, elegant dining spaces and beautifully proportioned interiors create an atmosphere of refined sophistication, while ten bedrooms provide comfortable accommodation for up to twenty guests.
Throughout the estate, guests are invited to embrace a slower pace of life. Mornings begin with breakfast overlooking the gardens, afternoons are spent by the swimming pool or exploring nearby Lucca, and evenings unfold around the dining table as private chefs prepare authentic Tuscan cuisine using local ingredients.
The grounds are equally impressive. Formal gardens, shaded pathways and peaceful corners provide endless opportunities for relaxation, while the large gated swimming pool offers a refreshing retreat during the warmer months. For groups seeking additional wellness or meeting space, a dedicated yoga and conference room is available on the estate.
Just five kilometres from Lucca's celebrated medieval walls and within easy reach of Florence, Pisa and the Tuscan coastline, Grand Villa Clara offers the rare combination of complete privacy and outstanding accessibility. For larger gatherings, the neighbouring Casa Rosa Toscana can also be booked alongside the villa, increasing capacity to accommodate up to thirty-two guests across the estate.
