Villa Description

Villa Monte Pisano is a magnificent 19th-century Lucchese residence set on the southern hills just outside Lucca (aprox 4 miles). Surrounded by a spectacular estate of terraced olive groves, manicured Italian gardens, and pine-forested hilltops with castle ruins, the villa boasts sweeping panoramic views over Lucca and the iconic Nottolini’s aqueduct. At the heart of the estate lies a tranquil walled garden, offering a serene setting for the floodlit swimming pool and an elegant summerhouse complete with a workout room. Guests also enjoy access to the estate’s private tennis court and volleyball pitch.

Inside, the villa exudes timeless charm and refined elegance. Designed to reflect its romantic heritage, the interiors feature 12 individually styled frescoed guestrooms, all with en-suite bathrooms, comfortably accommodating up to 24 guests. With three stylish living rooms, a study, a grand banquet room, a billiard room, and a shaded loggia perfect for alfresco lounging, the villa offers an exceptional combination of sociable spaces and peaceful corners for privacy and relaxation.

Originally built as the summer retreat for a noble Lucchese family, the villa’s rich history adds a unique dimension to its character. In 1692, it welcomed Prince Frederick of Denmark and Norway during his Grand Tour of Italy. The estate later became renowned for cultivating rare flowers and was once home to a working chapel, olive press, stables, and estate housing for workers. Most notably, it was the residence of Felice Matteucci — inventor of the combustion engine in 1853 — whose legacy adds further distinction to this extraordinary property.
