The magnificent grounds surrounding the villa include a private pond with its own island and a spacious floodlit salt water swimming pool (14m x 4m – depth 1.6m). A BBQ and outdoor tables and chairs invite al fresco dining.
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.
