From Monte San Quirico to Matraia, the hills where Lucca's antique villas stand.
Most antique villas in Lucca stand in a few well-defined areas: the hill of Monte San Quirico, just across the river Serchio, and the hills of Capannori, around Marlia, Matraia, Segromigno in Monte and Camigliano. This page brings together the antique villas we have for sale in and around the city.
Each area has its own character: distance from the walls, roads, aspect, type of land. Knowing them helps you decide where to look before you choose a villa, and our foreign buyers' desk can go through them with you in your language.
Essegi is a family-run Lucca agency founded in 1983, with a foreign buyers' desk run by Benedetta Satti and Isabel Saragozza Aquilina. We check planning compliance, land registry records and mortgages before you make an offer.

On the hills rising from the plain towards the Pizzorne uplands stand the Villa Reale at Marlia, Villa Mansi at Segromigno in Monte and Villa Torrigiani at Camigliano: large monumental estates that show how these residences were laid out, with the main house, the park and the farm.
Around them are smaller private villas among olive groves and vineyards, reached by narrow hill roads. Higher up, Matraia looks out over the plain and feels more secluded, which suits buyers who do not need to drive into town every day.
Monte San Quirico is the hill closest to the walls, a few minutes' drive from the centre. Antique villas here sit alongside more recent houses, and it suits buyers who want a villa with a garden while staying close to town, shops and the station.
The useful questions are practical. How often you will need to go into town. Whether the access road is easy in winter. How much land you want to look after. Whether you prefer a secluded villa or one in a small village with a few services. Heritage rules, systems and running costs are covered in our page on buying an antique villa in Lucca.
