7 Bedroom Villa in Villa Leonardo, Lucca

Some homes just slow you down the minute you open the gate. This seven bedroom villa at Villa Leonardo, tucked right inside Roma Imperiale in Forte dei Marmi, is exactly that sort of place. I actually stood under one of the shady trees in the garden for a moment and just listened. You hear the birds and feel the sunlight drifting between green leaves and, honestly, it is hard to tell if you are on holiday or imagining your everyday life here.

People talk about Forte dei Marmi all the time but living here in Lucca has a special rhythm. Locals walk their dogs in the morning. You can smell the sea air if you head down just after the sun comes up. The neighborhood has a real charm but Villa Leonardo feels set apart in the best way. Once you step onto the property there is this calm that I think a lot of us are after.

The home itself does not try too hard. There is a confidence in the way it is put together. You have this clean architectural look outside, not flashy but solid and impressive at the same time. I noticed the marble steps catch the light every time you pass. Floors, bathrooms, even the stairs are all finished in this beautiful marble that never really gets old. It gives the villa a bit of that classic Italian style but the layout inside feels fresh too.

You can really spread out in this place. On the ground floor, the kitchen actually feels like a spot where someone enjoys cooking for real. The pantry is just off to the side so it is easy if you are the type who stocks up on local olive oil and good pasta. The dining room flows right into a wide living salon— I found myself wandering over to the fireplace, just to see how it anchors the room. All the bedrooms down here have their own bathrooms by the way, which always feels more private for guests or family. Sometimes you just want your own space, even on busy weekends.

Head upstairs and the light changes a bit. You get soft rays coming in through the upper windows and those bedrooms are just as well done. Dressing rooms make sense here if you like to keep things organized and there is no shortage of storage. Every bathroom has that upscale finish. It is easy to settle into the idea of a slow Sunday morning just by yourself. The windows in these upstairs rooms look out towards the landscaped gardens so you feel a bit tucked away from the world even when you open the curtains.

The basement is bigger than you expect. Actually, the underground garage can fit six cars which is rare in this part of Lucca. I imagine it suits families or friends arriving for the summer holidays with plenty of space to spare. You will find a big family room downstairs, perfect for movie nights or noisy board games when it rains. There is an extra apartment here too, kitchen and all, good for guests who like a little independence or maybe for staff if you need help some days.

Outside is where a lot of memories will happen. The patio almost invites long lunches under the sun or grilled fish in the evening when it cools down. Kids end up in the pool and adults find excuses to linger under the pergola. You get two wells for irrigation so the garden always looks cared for. Security is on point. There is video surveillance plus alarms inside and out, so you feel safe without being bothered by all the technical bits. And the place is designed to be energy smart with underfloor heating and solar panels. It is hard not to appreciate the thought put in to making life here easy.

The whole atmosphere is just comfortable. You can sense quality but you also notice practical details, like laundry and storage being actually useful and not an afterthought. Sometimes you almost forget your phone when you are here because the space draws you in.

Most people who see Villa Leonardo end up slowing their pace just a little, which says a lot. If you are curious how this home feels in person, the only way to know is to walk through.
