3. Villa Reale di Marlia
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 461 reviews
One of the most striking historic residences in Italy: Villa Reale – which includes Elisa Bonaparte’s luxury 19th century home, Parkland and a Chapel – has been brought back to its former glory thanks to a large scale restoration project. Situated in a centuries-old park, hiding shyly behind a perimeter wall, Villa Reale in Marla is a wonderful destination – the epitome of charm and elegance. Rescued from deterioration by a family generously committed to an ambitious and lengthy programme of renovation, the Villa is open from March 2020. It’s a perfect location for a visit - a real hidden gem, away from the usual tourist locations. This extraordinary example of refined architecture and landscaping includes three villas, two neoclassical entrance buildings, 16 hectares of parkland, 2 chapels, a lemon house and buildings designed for stables, sawmills and services. A must see in Tuscany.

As close to Paradise as gardens get........we were recently staying in Lucca for a fortnight and decided to visit a villa with some gardens. The tourist information info suggest a variety of villas to visit but said if you only have time for one, visit Villa Reale. So we caught the 59 bus from the bus station and went. We loved it so much we ended up going back another two times (visited Villa Oliva and Villa Grabau which were close enough to walk to from Villa Reale’s bus stop) just to walk in the gardens and have lunch at Villa Reale’s delightful cafe. The lunch menu was perfect, delicious focaccia and cakes etc as well as a bar. All in perfect surroundings with a view of the lake. Federico served us on two occasions. She was an absolute delight and such an asset/ambassador for Villa Reale. She made the visit for us and introduced me to Villa Reale’s cocktails which were worth sampling. The Villa itself has been refurbished and is absolutely beautiful. Spend a half a day there and immerse yourself in the history and the beauty. It truly is a very special place. Congratulations to the owners who have done such a wonderful job on the renovation. Finally, my husband and I thought this was equally as good as Villa Carlotta on Lake Como and in what seemed to be a much larger space and far less congested. Go before the secret is out and enjoy the tranquility.

We spent time in Luca, Cinque Terre & Positano in Sept., 2010 and were so disappointed to not visit Villa Mansi at that time since it was closed for renovations. Cinque Terre was inundated with swarms of tourists.
10. Chiesa di Santa Maria Assunta
