LIMES Schlosskliniken AG, a German operator of high-quality private clinics for mental health, has taken a significant step into the Italian market. On June 17, 2026, the company signed a notarized preliminary agreement in Florence to acquire the operating company of the “Villa Boccella” estate in Lucca, Tuscany, as announced in a press release.
The renovated, luxurious 14-hectare historic estate features eight buildings, including six villas with four swimming pools, totaling 37 rooms with 62 beds across approximately 3,100 square meters of living space. LIMES Schlosskliniken plans to convert this estate into a mental health clinic primarily targeting an international clientele. This new facility bridges the gap between Paracelsus Recovery in Zurich and the existing LIMES locations in Germany.
The company holds an option to purchase the property, and the opening is planned for early summer 2027, subject to the granting of a clinic license by local authorities. This expansion underscores LIMES Schlosskliniken's commitment to its unique approach of relationship-oriented medicine, offering a protected and healing environment for patients suffering from stress-related illnesses, depression, affective disorders, and acute burnout conditions.
The announcement is important as it marks LIMES Schlosskliniken's first move into Italy, expanding its footprint beyond Germany and Switzerland. The estate's luxurious setting in Tuscany is expected to attract international self-payers and private patients seeking holistic recovery in a unique environment.

The Villa Boccella estate, with its historic charm and modern amenities, provides an ideal setting for this purpose.
