LIMES Schlosskliniken AG, a German operator of private psychiatric clinics, announced on June 17, 2026, that it has signed a notarized preliminary agreement to acquire the operating company of the "Villa Boccella" estate in Lucca, Tuscany. The move marks the company's expansion into Italy, bridging its existing operations in Zurich and Germany.
The renovated, luxurious 14-hectare historic estate consists of 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 plans to convert the estate into a mental health clinic, primarily aimed at an international clientele. The facility will serve as a link between Paracelsus Recovery in Zurich and the LIMES locations in Germany.
The company has an option to purchase the property, and subject to obtaining a clinic license from Italian authorities, the opening is scheduled for early summer 2027. This expansion aligns with LIMES's strategy to offer high-quality private clinics for stress-related illnesses, mental and emotional disorders such as depression, affective disorders, and acute burnout conditions. The group's services target private patients, those entitled to subsidies, and self-payers.
LIMES Schlosskliniken is known for its relationship-oriented medicine, providing a protected and healing environment for holistic recovery. Further information about the group is available at www.limes-schlosskliniken.de.
