| Located
near the small town of Vorno, Casa Felice Matteucci offers luxurious accommodations
in the heart of Tuscany. Surrounded by terraced olive groves, this magnificent
19th-century villa was once the workshop of Felice Matteucci, inventor of the
internal combustion engine. Recently restored to the highest level of style and
comfort, Casa Matteucci is exceptional in every way.
Located
just ten minutes from the medieval walled town of Lucca, Casa Matteucci is a perfect
base for exploring Chianti and the hilltowns of Tuscany. Florence is an hour away,
and Pisa is just 30 minutes. Hike the dramatic cliff villages of the Cinqueterre
(1 hour), explore the seaside of the Versilian Riviera (30 minutes) or relax at
a nearby thermal spa. Tennis and horseback riding facilities are available in
the area, and 18-hole golf courses are found in nearby Montecatini or in Versilia.
