Palazzo in Lucca - etia no.: 157

description:

The Palazzo was built in the 16th century inside the lotting of the so-called “Piaggia Romana”. It has a very rare architectural quality and a look more similar to a fortress than a town palace. The verdant walls, the greeny lawns around the cathedral and the nearby botanical garden are the ideal frame for this charming historical building. Set inside the heart of the historical centre of Lucca it boasts an enviable position in respect of the main squares of the town. Everything is at walking distance! Raised on a high base, the access portal on the north side leads to the inner yard with porch on the ground floor now filled. This romantic inner yard adds a frivolous touch to the elegance of the global building.
The Palazzo has been recently restored in full respect of its ancient atmosphere and highlights. The authentic pieces of antiques, the frescoed ceilings and the refined five bedrooms make this luxurious palace a holiday residence unique in its
genre…The easy elegance of the inner Italianate garden is provided by a number of terracotta pots fitted with orange and lemon trees along with pattern evergreen bushes.
Any passionate art lovers will have their sense of beauty completely fulfilled for the detailed accuracy of the furnishing and absolute comfort.

The ideal place for those who really want to live in the town with no renouncement of the luxury and the comfort of a country side private villa. The Palazzo is surely a unique place, an authentic jewel that still preserves the charme of the ancient Lucca. Nicely immersed in the heart of the town, it is secluded but not isolated. This aristocratic mansion is absolutely unusual in it's genre!
