Hotel Villa La Principessa is situated at the base of the hills surrounding Lucca, on which many parks and gardens jealously hide the austere architecture of “Palaces on Villas”, the ancient homes of the most famous and illustrious families of Lucca.

Hotel Villa La Principessa claims the most distant origins: It was, in fact, the home and court of Castruccio Castracani (1281-1328) Lord and Duke of Lucca, man of arms and mercenary captain in the service of Ludwig of Bavaria, who succeeded in passing from history into legend, according to the tradition that holds that Machiavelli, impressed with his manner, found him the model for the Ideal Prince. Preserving the noble appearance of an antique, the aristocratic Hotel Villa La Principessa has been, since 1973, one of the most elegant hotels in Toscana.

Guests can find, amidst the discrete tranquility of this classical country residence, all of the comfort and quality services. Hotel Villa La Principessa has 33 elegant rooms and 8 luxurious Junior Suites. Finally, the restaurant "à la carte" offers the best of Italian and Tuscan cuisine and a wide choice of wines. In spring and summer snack at poolside and evening dining are delicious experiences.
