763Historic Villa, completely renovated, is situated in the rural hillside village of Benabbio, Bagni di Lucca.

Property description

A private home and the perfect venue for a variety of cultural, business and leisure pursuits. The main premises consist of a 10-bedroom, 17th Century Baroque villa, with an adjoining late-medieval wing and adjacent chapel. Behind the main gates is a courtyard, with adequate parking for several cars, an olive grove, original formal garden, pool and pleasing views.

The villa is situated in the rural hillside village of Benabbio, overlooking the spa town of Bagni di Lucca. It offers accessibility to the principal Tuscan cities (Florence, Lucca, Siena) in an authentic, historic setting.

Pisa airport is an hour away, with shops/supermarkets and other amenities under a 10-minute drive.

Benabbio itself has a grocer’s, newsagent / tobacconist’s and two excellent restaurants all within walking distance.

The villa has been given the name of San Rocco Villa because of the saints connection with the property.
The property has been fashioned in such a way as to be flexible to the needs of the user. The atmosphere is one of traditional hospitality in a home environment, with several large and unique spaces suitable for workshops, presentations and entertainment on a grand scale.

All bedrooms have their own bathrooms, all but one ensuite, and are decorated in various styles, from Napoleonic to Classical Roman. The principal Grand Salone is 70m² (760 square feet) and can easily be rearranged as required, be it for a seminar or a banquet.

The villa is served by two fully-equipped kitchens, along with a separate dining room, sitting room, TV/chill-out room and cellar complex. A spacious covered terrace, ideal for evening drinks and summer meals, commands spectacular views over the village and the Lima valley below.

Villa San Rocco, at present, could almost be defined as an elegant homely hotel.
It is a historic residence that has been lovingly and painstakingly brought back to life.
