Villa Guinigi

During the first half of the sixteenth century, the Guinigi family, who at that time were the Dukes of Lucca, decided to build their country home, Matraia was an ideal choice, due to its temperate climate and spectacular views over the city of Lucca and the "lucchesi" hills.

Over the course of the next five hundred years a small succession of owners have contributed to the conservation of the property in a way that has allowed it to now be beautifully restored , maintaining its character as a stately country house and estate, whilst transforming it into typical tuscan country homes.

The strategic position of the estate gives quick and easy access to a great number of services and attractions: Pisa and Florence airports in less than one hour, the city of Lucca in 15 minutes, the beaches of Versilia in 35 minutes, the centre of Florence in one hour, the cities of Rome and Milan in three hours.
