Villa Bernardini for elegant destination weddings in Tuscany

Venue location

In Lucca, 4 km from the city centre.

Venue description

This Villa is indeed an exclusive location set in the middle of a delightful park with more than 350 different vegetable species. The Villa is the ideal setting for weddings, receptions, gala dinners, concerts and much more.

The Villa is a valuable example of patrician country residence erected in 1615 and it has always been owned by the same family whose descendants still live there. For almost four centuries this late Renaissance residence has been embellishing the Lucca region and has been offering its guests the feeling to relieve the atmospheres of a past full of elegance and prestige.

This Villa is a historical and cultural inheritance which has been perfectly preserved during the time, and that can offer the chance to recreate the perfect scene for unforgettable events.
