"VILLA IN LUCCA" is an association that was formed in 1992 to protect the private villa estates or 'fattoria' that surround the historic town of Lucca. Once owned by the rich merchants of this beautiful walled city, these estates seemed doomed to slow decay. By creating economic viability through farming and the sale of high quality farm products, including wines and the world renown Lucchesia olive oil, the time honoured role of the Lucca Villa has been rescued. Most importantly, a culture of hospitality is a common denominator of all the association's members
The Estate
The working farm estate of Villa Maionchi is a prime example of "Villa in Lucca" in action. One of the owners of the 'fattoria' lives in the main farm buildings, and as guests, you will enjoy both rest and recreation in a vintage Tuscany setting.
