LIMES Schlosskliniken AG, a German operator of high-quality private clinics for mental health, has taken a significant step in its international expansion by signing a notarized preliminary agreement to acquire the operating company of the “Villa Boccella” estate in Lucca, Tuscany. The announcement was made on June 17, 2026, in Florence.
The renovated, luxurious 14-hectare historic estate comprises eight buildings, including six villas with four swimming pools. It features 37 rooms with 62 beds across approximately 3,100 square meters of living space. LIMES Schlosskliniken plans to convert the estate into a mental health clinic, primarily targeting an international clientele. The facility aims to bridge the gap between Paracelsus Recovery in Zurich and the LIMES locations in Germany.
The company has secured an option to purchase the property. Subject to obtaining the necessary clinic license from local authorities, the opening is scheduled for early summer 2027. This expansion marks LIMES's entry into the Italian healthcare market, adding to its network of clinics in Germany.
The LIMES Schlosskliniken Group specializes in treating stress-related illnesses, mental and emotional disorders such as depression, affective disorders, and acute burnout conditions. Its services are designed for private patients, those entitled to subsidies, and self-payers. The group emphasizes a relationship-oriented approach to medicine, providing a protected and healing environment for holistic recovery.
