Being part of an ancient small group of houses and villas called "Bagno alla Villa" situated above Bagni di Lucca, the villa enjoys a privileged position and offers magnificent views over the surroundings.

They consist in two thermal establishments and a well-being centre specialised in treating a multiplicity of pathologies and in beauty treatments.
