In 2021, after more than 30 years, this stunning historic Villa in the small village of Gragnano on the beautiful hillside of Lucca, has been revived. Villa Carnicelli has been renovated and restored by using exclusively ecological, sustainable, and plastic-free construction materials in full respect of the environment, regaining its original charming Tuscan style.
The Villa has been renovated with warm earthy light colours and is simply furnished with minimalist design to allow you to focus on the important and essential things in life and to find a moment of peace and disconnection from the hectic life. This place gives you the possibility to unfold yourself.
Everything is selected in high-quality down to the last detail. The renovations have restored the flavour of this historic house as it was in the past.
Villa Carnicelli is situated at an altitude of 200 metres, on a 4,000 m² (43,056 ft²) hill and the living area is of 450 m² (4,844 ft²) on three floors.
The Villa was built at the beginning of the 18th century and belonged to the noble Carnicelli family. The 200 years old cotto floors and the aged original wooden doors remain unchanged.
The inside and outside plastering has been chosen among the most biological ones available on the market, thus respecting strictest ecological norms.
All matresses, bed toppers and pillows are ecological and health-friendly and have been produced with natural latex by the German specialist JONA SLEEP. All pillows are ergonomic. Linen bedding is fresh organic air-dried.
The heating system of the entire Villa is located inside all walls. This means definite absence of dust and much better and healthier living conditions. Also, the vacuum cleaning system is installed inside the walls, and this brings further benefits.
Furthermore, the Villa is cleaned exclusively with eco-friendly, plastic-free, biodegradable cleaning materials.
All electric lines are deep under the earth. Thus, Villa Carnicelli is shielded against any electromagnetic radiation.
The available space and sleeping facilities allow the accommodation of 10 adults. Upon request, also baby cots are available.
On the ground floor you will find a large dining room with a long dining table, an iPod/iPhone dock music speaker and a professionally-equipped kitchen with open fireplace and a large professional ILVE gas cooker with two double burners, which is a great pleasure to cook with.
Stepping out of the kitchen, you will find a spacious open terrace for outdoor dining and a WEBER gas barbecue. Furthermore, on the ground floor you will find a studio room with a comfortable sofa and a flatscreen TV, a bathroom with shower and a laundry room with washing machine and dryer. All household appliances are from MIELE.

On the first floor you will find a big master suite with dressing room and associated bathroom with a large bathtub and shower.

Connected to those bedrooms is another bathroom with shower. Bidets are available in each bathroom.
On the second floor there are two large bedrooms with king-size double beds, a room with a comfortable sofa and a bathroom with shower. On the same floor you will find a spacious yoga space equipped with proper mats, cushions and deck chairs to calm down and find your inner centre.
The garden of the Villa and all plants and olive trees are organic and therefore free from herbicides, pesticides and fertilisers.
The nearest grocery shops, pizzerias, restaurants and most amenities are 3 to 5 km from the house.
Four very good restaurants serving traditional Tuscan and Lucchese cuisine can be reached by a short walk through the olive groves in five to ten minutes. One of the restaurants even has a “SlowFood” award.
The villa is surrounded by wineries that can be reached on foot in five minutes and produce excellent biodynamic wine. Olive oil farmers also border the neighbourhood, where delicious olive oil can be tasted and purchased.
The closest international airport is in the town of Pisa, less than 30 minutes away from Lucca by car or train.

Summary: Our stay at Villa Carnicelli was incredible! The house was perfect for our family to enjoy our time in Tuscany. The views were stunning and the villa provided such a relaxing atmosphere. Francesca and Margherita prepared a delicious Tuscan meal for us that we're still raving about. Using fresh ingredients (lemons, kumquats, oranges and herbs) grown just outside the kitchen door added to the experience. We also took advantage of a family cooking class, which was such fun and again, the food was delicious! Francesca was the sweetest host who is clearly passionate about the property and her cooking. She was engaging and made each of us feel special. We highly recommend Villa Carnicelli!Thank you Manzetti family for your part making my Italian dream come true!

Summary: Villa Carnicelli completely exceeded all expectations. If you think it looks good on the photos, wait until you see it in real life! Francesca and her father couldn’t have been more helpful. We had a quick history lesson as we arrived, learning all about the origins of the incredible house, and lots of recommendations for shops and restaurants. The house was impeccably clean and comfortable. The worst part was having to leave!! We would come back in an instant

Summary: This Villa was like taking a step back in time. The owners have renovated to bring you modern amenities yet have taken special care to restore the history rather than erasing it. The owners were amazing hosts. The surrounding area had many small towns with plenty of charm.

Summary: This restored villa in the hills outside Lucca was a dream come true. Francesca is an amazing, charming host. From the fully stocked kitchen to the beautiful bedrooms with lovely linens to the outdoor seating areas among terra cotta pots of citrus, with a view of the spectacular valley below, Villa Carnicelli exceeded our wildest hopes. Truly a unique and magical place. We can't wait to return.

Summary: We had an absolutely wonderful time staying at this beautiful villa in Tuscany! From the moment we heard from Fransesca (the host) , we felt the warmth and felt at home. Her hospitality made our vacation truly special. The villa was perfect for our group of six adults and three children from Las Vegas, NV. We enjoyed a mix of relaxing rainy days with thunderstorms and sunny pool days. The wine tasting just a mile away and the restaurants within walking distance were delightful. A highlight was definitely the unforgettable 10-course meal Francesca cooked for us at the villa—it was simply out of this world! The villa's central location allowed us to explore and visit Florence, Lucca, Montecarlo, Viareggio, and Cinque Terre with ease. Thank you for providing such a perfect home away from home. We look forward to coming back again in the near future!

Francesca, our host is a lovely young woman and is prepared to do whatever it takes to make your stay as enjoyable as possible.

Summary: I highly recommend the villa hosted by Francesca for an unforgettable getaway. Our stay was nothing short of amazing, with every detail meticulously thought out. The property itself is a breathtaking oasis. Francesca and Stefano prepared an exceptional dinner, and the wine tasting and twilight picnic were dreamlike experiences. If you're looking for a remarkable retreat, this property should be at the top of your list.
