The Estate
A country estate above Lucca
Forty hectares of olive groves, vineyards and rolling Tuscan hills
An exclusive estate
A place with a past
Tenuta Bellosguardo is a beautiful farm in a unique setting, with a wonderful view over the valley where, on a clear day, you can see Lucca and its walls. The property covers about forty hectares of rolling hills, covered with olive groves and vineyards, with a small fenced lake.
It is part of a fine estate built in the 1700s — once the hunting lodge of Carlo Ludovico di Borbone, Duke of Lucca, and later the home of Elena Baciocchi, sister of Napoleon Bonaparte. The main villa, with its clean lines and elegant curved staircase, looks out over beautiful gardens toward the city.
The grounds
Pool, gardens & views
Guests enjoy a swimming pool of 6 × 12 m, 1.40 m deep, surrounded by roughly 1,000 m² of lawn — partially fenced and equipped with tables, chairs and sun umbrellas. There is also a large jacuzzi and a generous shared kitchen with outdoor dining spaces for gathering together.
The surrounding countryside is ideal for walking or cycling, and the estate is beautifully quiet for evening strolls among the olive groves. It is one of the best places to relax and renew your contact with nature.
