Welcome to Villa Guinigi Luxury Resort a Historic Residence in the heart of Tuscany

Located on the hills overlooking Lucca, within the historic complex of Borgo di Matraia, the property offers prestigious apartments and breathtaking views for those who want to take a break from the chaos and confusion and discover a piece of authentic Tuscany.

The property, surrounded by greenery and made unique by over five hundred years of history (also evidenced by the passage of Napoleon and his sister Elisa Baciocchi), has been beautifully and carefully restored to offer, within the main Villa and the charming buildings of the Borgo, apartments of undeniable charm characterized by a blend of ancient elements and modern design, set within the typical context of classic Tuscan rural style.

Thanks to a strategic location – less than an hour’s drive from Pisa and Florence airports, and 30 minutes from Lucca Tassignano Airport, also suitable for private jets – Villa Guinigi offers easy access both to cultural attractions and to the naturalistic and food & wine itineraries of a unique and fascinating territory such as the Lucchese countryside.

In addition to the enchanting city of Lucca, famous worldwide for its elegant historic center and perfectly preserved city walls that can be walked along, from here you can easily reach other Tuscan gems: the golden beaches of Versilia with the elegant Forte dei Marmi (just half an hour by car), the stunning city of Florence, the heart of the Italian Renaissance (about one hour away), and beautiful cities such as Pisa, Siena, and Volterra. 

For those who want to immerse themselves in nature or history, E-Bike tours, excursions, trekking, food & wine experiences and visits to wineries and to the ancient villas surrounding the property can be easily organized.

A large centuries-old park, ideal for morning runs or romantic sunset walks, protects the complex from the outside ensuring privacy and security: here, lush vegetation and a majestic centuries-old Cedar of Lebanon create a unique and magical atmosphere, like a postcard setting. 

The seasonal outdoor swimming pool, overlooking the beautiful Lucca valley, offers an incredible view and is equipped with umbrellas and sun loungers, allowing guests to fully enjoy the wonderful microclimate of the Lucchese hills.

For all guests, a gym equipped with state-of-the-art Technogym machines also offers the possibility to stay fit during the holiday and make the stay even more enjoyable.

The Reception service is available all year round (with different opening hours depending on high and low season) and is at guests’ disposal to meet every need and organize unique and authentic experiences and excursions.
