This sumptuous mauve and white villa was
restored during the Napoleonic era for one of
Princess Elisa's civil servants. The soft Tuscan
light floods through the windows of its elegant
suites, decorated with marble fireplaces, luxurious
damask fabrics, canopy beds and beautiful antique
furniture. Enjoy a romantic dinner on the
«Belle Epoque» veranda overlooking the
park and savour one of the exceptional local
vintages.Hotel Locanda l'Elisa stands at the feet
of a range of hills close to Lucca, and is housed
in a Villa which, it seem, was rebuilt in the early
eighteenth century by a napoleonic official who
arrived in Lucca in the retinue of Elisa
Baciocchi.

In fact traces of
works effected at that time can be found in the
residual colours found under the plastering and in
decorative elements still to be found in some of
the rooms.In the conversion to a hotel, though i
would prefer to say house, account was taken of
this precedent decoration, creating 10 suites and
the salons with eighteenth century furniture,
fabrics and carpets designed on the motif found on
site.The restaurant is situated in a victorian
style conservatory surrounded by a luxuriant garden
of bushes, flowers and acquatic plants, crossed by
a burbling brook, with a large swimming-pool.
