LIMES Schlosskliniken AG has taken a significant step in its European expansion strategy by signing a notarized preliminary agreement on June 17, 2026, in Florence to acquire the operating company of the "Villa Boccella" estate in Lucca, Tuscany. The move marks the company's entry into the Italian market, extending its network of high-quality private clinics for mental health.
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 a living area of approximately 3,100 square meters. LIMES Schlosskliniken plans to transform this property into a mental health clinic, primarily targeting an international clientele. The facility is designed to bridge the gap between Paracelsus Recovery in Zurich and existing LIMES locations in Germany, offering a seamless continuum of care for patients seeking treatment for stress-related illnesses, depression, affective disorders, and acute burnout conditions.
The acquisition is subject to certain conditions, including the granting of a clinic license by Italian authorities. The company holds an option to purchase the property, and the opening is planned for early summer 2027. This expansion underscores LIMES Schlosskliniken's commitment to providing a unique, protected, and healing environment for holistic recovery, leveraging the serene Tuscan landscape.
The LIMES Schlosskliniken Group operates high-quality private clinics for mental and emotional disorders, focusing on a relationship-oriented medicine approach. Their services cater to private patients, those entitled to subsidies, and self-payers. The new Italian location is expected to enhance the group's ability to serve an international patient base, combining top medical quality with a restorative setting.
