When you think of Lucignano, its extraordinary medieval village and Renaissance masterpieces immediately come to mind.

But the history of this place goes much further back in time.


According to tradition, the town's name derives from the famous Roman leader Lucius Licinius Lucullus, while the entire surrounding area preserves important evidence of Etruscan and Roman presence.


From Casale di Lucullo, a short walk or bike ride takes you to a fascinating Roman cistern, an evocative place where time seems to have stood still for almost two thousand years.


Here, every path tells a story, every stone holds a fragment of our past.


If you love combining nature, culture, and hidden treasures, Lucignano will surprise you.


Come and stay at Casale di Lucullo and let us take you on a journey through centuries of history, through Tuscan landscapes, timeless villages, and ancient vestiges of Etruscan and Roman civilizations.
