Villa Hugo is of medieval origin, with more than 800 years of architectural memory. For centuries it belonged to the Trebilani, a noble Lucchese family, and the house keeps eighteenth-century frescoes, historic floors and large medieval beams, with a restored brick lattice wall, the mandolata, typical of rural Tuscan buildings.
The present owners' great-grandfather bought the villa from the Trebilani between the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The family still lives in a private, structurally independent wing of the estate. During the Second World War the property served as a command post for American forces on the Gothic Line.
The gardens host civil ceremonies, sunset aperitifs and dinners under the stars. A covered indoor space holds up to 75 people for events or bad weather. Celebrations of more than 75 guests can be held under an outdoor marquee in the park. Drinks receptions can be set in the gardens, the olive grove, the veranda, the barbecue area or the indoor lounges. A historic seventeenth-century chapel on the estate is available for religious ceremonies.
Italian-style gardens of more than 6,000 square metres, with fruit trees, old olive trees and aromatic herbs, surround the house. The estate has photovoltaic panels and wood-fired heating. The 72 square metre saltwater pool, with a hydromassage area, is reserved for the villa's guests.
