LIMES Schlosskliniken AG, a German operator of high-quality private clinics for mental health, has signed a notarized preliminary agreement to acquire the operating company of the "Villa Boccella" estate in Lucca, Tuscany, marking its expansion into Italy. The announcement was made on June 17, 2026.
The renovated, luxurious 14-hectare historic estate consists of eight buildings, including six villas with four swimming pools, offering 37 rooms with 62 beds across approximately 3,100 square meters of living space. LIMES plans to establish a mental health clinic on the property, focusing on stress-related illnesses, depression, and burnout conditions.
The facility is primarily aimed at an international clientele and is intended to bridge the gap between Paracelsus Recovery in Zurich and existing LIMES locations in Germany. Subject to obtaining the necessary clinic license from local authorities, the opening is scheduled for early summer 2027.
LIMES Schlosskliniken has secured an option to purchase the property. The company's approach emphasizes relationship-oriented medicine and holistic recovery in a protected, healing environment. The expansion into Italy aligns with its strategy to serve private patients, those entitled to subsidies, and self-payers.
