Property details

Nestled in the rolling hills of Lucca, Tuscany, VILLA FARFALLA stands as a testament to artistic vision and architectural brilliance, crafted by its owner-creators—renowned architects, artists, and designers for Italy’s most prestigious brands. This awe-inspiring sanctuary is more than just a villa; it is a creative atelier, an oasis for experimentation, relaxation, and rejuvenation.

VILLA FARFALLA, its guesthouse, and the stunning pool embody the pinnacle of modern architecture harmonized with Tuscan landscapes. From this extraordinary property, perched 200 meters above Lucca and surrounded by ten hectares of lush olive groves and serene woodlands, guests enjoy panoramic views of the city and its historic walls. Just a 10-minute drive from Lucca, the villa offers both seclusion and accessibility, and for an ultra-luxe arrival, an exclusive helipad awaits at your request.

Spanning 525 square meters across three levels, the main villa and guesthouse embrace a natural hillside of white marble, reminiscent of the nearby Carrara quarries. Sunlit and transparently designed, each element flows organically, with iron shutters ingeniously engineered to capture light throughout the year—cool and shaded in summer, warm and radiant in winter. At the heart of this radiant home is a striking red staircase, a sculptural centerpiece likened to a stunning red evening gown, uniting the three levels with flair. Marble, sculptures, custom furniture, and bespoke lighting—all meticulously crafted by the owners—grace the interior, where artistic expression and architectural sophistication coalesce.

A marvel of innovation, VILLA FARFALLA boasts the world’s first hydraulic roof, echoing the elegant wings of a butterfly. At a touch, four expansive roof panels unfold at a 30° angle, creating a breathtaking 170-square-meter opening. This feature not only enhances natural cooling but offers guests the enchanting experience of sleeping under the open sky.

VILLA FARFALLA is also a paragon of ecological architecture, recognized by *National Geographic’s* “Case Più Verde d’Italia” and awarded the prestigious “EXPO STONE AWARD 2015.”
