Local Real Estate Market: Capannori and especially the Petrognano area are among the most desired zones of the Lucca province for international clients (British, German, and Scandinavian). While average prices for standard used properties in the municipality stand at around € 1,850 per square meter, independent renovated properties in hilly positions with pools and olive groves reach valuations in the premium segment, ranging between € 2,800 and € 3,500/sqm. The added value of this complex is represented by the additional residential volume yet to be developed, an asset increasingly rare due to urban planning restrictions protecting the Lucca landscape. Tourist and Historical Information: Capannori is known as the "City of Villas," thanks to the extraordinary concentration of historic residences such as Villa Torrigiani and Villa Mansi. Petrognano is an intact hilltop village, famous for its historic farms and the production of excellent wines and oils along the "Wine and Oil Route of Lucca, Montecarlo, and Versilia."
