Magical Christmas at Villa Reale

Magico Natale is the first edition of Villa Reale in which adults and children will be able to immerse themselves in the magical Christmas atmosphere by visiting the park and museums of Villa Reale during the last two opening weekends of 2022: #savethedate 8, 9, 10, 11, 17 and 18 December with extraordinary hours 9:30 – 21.

For the first time, the Villa Reale complex (just 7 km from the walls of Lucca) will be able to experience its magical Christmas in your company, enriching the cultural visit with Christmas stops both inside and outside. The lemon garden will be the protagonist with light installations and the starred stables will instead host Christmas-themed workshops.

Both for the Immaculate Conception long weekend and for the weekend of 17 and 18 December 2022 the magic of Christmas will descend on the Royal Villa of Marlia where the scent of mulled wine and burnt wood in the Nordic braziers will warm the atmosphere and to prepare for the holidays, it will be possible to buy Christmas gifts at the Bookshop: originality is guaranteed!

But everyone knows that without Santa Claus we cannot say magical Christmas and that is why in the Clock building it seems that Santa Claus has found a perfect place to read all the letters in view of the deliveries on the night of December 24th….

In any case, a visit to the Villa Reale complex normally requires at least 2 hours to be able to visit the 16 hectares of park and the two museums recently restored and open to the public, therefore we advise you to take 3 hours to immerse yourself in nature and culture, with a pinch of Christmas magic that you can find in 2 areas of the property: the lemon garden and the Palazzina dell’ Orologio area.

Attention: From 5pm onwards it will be possible to visit only the upper part of the park from the north entrance (and the museums!) so as to concentrate the lighting and the attractions in the oldest part of the park.
