The Italian city of Lucca has emerged as a top performer in Tuscany's luxury real estate market, with property prices soaring 27% over the past five years, according to a new report from global property consultancy Knight Frank. The surge, attributed to Lucca's relative affordability and growing international demand, outpaces other Tuscan hotspots and highlights a broader trend of rising interest in Italy's prestigious property markets.

Tuscany remains a magnet for wealthy international buyers, particularly from France, the United States, the United Kingdom, Benelux countries, and Germany. These high-net-worth individuals (HNWIs) are drawn by the region's superior quality of life, educational offerings, and ease of access to global transport hubs.
