After a careful restoration, Villa Reale di Marlia opens its gates for your next luxury vacation stay in Tuscany. This former royal estate, set between Pisa and Florence, not far from the elegant walled city of Lucca, offers weekly rentals to enjoy a rare opportunity to experience one of Italy’s most celebrated historic luxurious residences in total privacy.
Enclosed within sixteen hectares of manicured, fully walled gardens, Villa Reale di Marlia is a world of its own, a place where every corner tells a story. Once home to noble families and visited by artists and icons such as Salvador Dalí, Queen Elizabeth, and Jacqueline Kennedy, the estate today redefines ultra-luxury estates in Tuscany.
The spacious main villa combines the architect Patricia Urquiola's contemporary design with original frescoes and architectural details from the past century. Eleven exquisitely appointed suites offer a seamless blend of heritage, comfort, and sophistication. The interiors feature grand salons, refined dining spaces, elegant libraries, a professional kitchen, a wine cellar, and a stylish bar. Each room is curated for beauty and serenity.
Outdoors, guests can stroll through the villa’s baroque lemon garden, the striking water theatre, or the romantic Spanish garden, before relaxing by the private pool or at the exclusive garden café. The estate’s lake and sweeping views create an unforgettable backdrop for private celebrations and moments of pure joy.
Within easy reach of Florence, Pisa, and Forte dei Marmi, Villa Reale di Marlia offers not only a retreat of exceptional beauty but also access to Tuscany’s finest experiences, from wine and olive oil tastings to marble quarry tours, mountain excursions, and the rich cultural heritage of Lucca.
More than a destination, Villa Reale di Marlia is an invitation to live history, to embrace art and elegance, and to experience Tuscany at its most majestic.
