Private Villa Rentals, Weddings and Retreats

 

Experience true Tuscany at Villa Michaela, an 18th-century frescoed villa in the hills of Vorno, just outside Lucca. Olive groves, lemon gardens and views to the Apuan Alps surround a private estate made for family holidays, group retreats and celebrations in authentic Tuscan style.​​

A picturesque, eccentric and historic atmosphere from the 18th Century surrounds your stay.

Weddings in Tuscany
Host your dream wedding or special celebration at a Tuscan villa with its own chapel, designed by Lorenzo Nottolini and seating 80. Across the villa and the Casa Una farmhouse there are 17 bedrooms for up to 35 guests, so you can celebrate and stay together in one place.

 

Cooking, culture, art and music


Immerse yourself in cooking in Tuscany, the culture and art of Lucca and Florence, and music in the villa’s drawing room with its grand piano. Days follow a slow rhythm: breakfast in the lemon garden, afternoons by the pool and long dinners under the frescoed ceilings.

 

Disconnect, in comfort


Life here moves away from the rush, but you keep high-speed WiFi, modern facilities, and central heating and air conditioning in every bedroom.

Guest Review

I stayed at Villa Michaela for a week in August and cannot recommend this place enough. The beautiful decor, picturesque surroundings together with the relaxing atmosphere of the villa is a perfect combination. On top of that, the staff were exceptional.
