Villa Reale di Marlia - The apartments of Elisa Bonaparte

For the first time ever, Elisa’s Empire style apartments opened to the public on a permanent basis, 200 years on from her death. Careful restoration work commisioned by the new owners Henric and Marina Grönberg has made it possible to enjoy the Villa’s luxurious surroundings as they once were, up to now a privilege only afforded to a handful of visitors to the private residence.

16-hectar-park

The Park of Villa Reale in Marlia covers an area of 16 hectares and is the result of a complex series of transformations which bear witness to two different periods of architectural construction among the villas in the Lucca area.

One part of the park has preserved the original 17th century layout including hedges, flowerbeds and tall trees; the other has been designed in line with the fashion for English landscaped gardens, with winding pathways, panoramic viewpoints and shady groves.

The gardens have a rich heritage of trees, with superb examples of cedar, pine, oak, holm-oak and plane trees. The lawns, together with shaded underwood areas, embellish the Bishop’s Villa with a unique landscape which changes throughout the course of the day and with the passing of the seasons.

The Park of Villa Reale is famous for its numerous camellias, some of the most beautiful examples in the Lucca area. Together with the municipalities of Capannori, Lucca and the ‘Borgo delle Camelie’ (formed by the municipalities of Pieve di Compito and Sant’Andrea di Compito), the Villa is one of the locations hosting the Lucca Historic Camellia Exhibition.
