Villa Monte Pisano

Villa Monte Pisano, nestled on the southern outskirts of Lucca, is a historic 19th-century Lucchese villa set on a stunning estate of hill-terraced olive groves, elegant Italian gardens, and pine forest hilltops with castle ruins. Panoramic views extend across Lucca and Nottolini’s aqueduct, while a charming walled garden provides a peaceful and relaxing setting for the swimming pool and summerhouse with a workout room. Guests benefit from access to the estate’s tennis court and volley ball pitch.

In keeping with the villa’s gentle and enchanting atmosphere, the unique interiors are elegantly furnished with style and charm, offering 12 frescoed guestrooms, all with en-suite facilities, accommodating up to 24 guests. With three living rooms, a study area, a billiard room, a grand banquet room, and the shady retreat of an arched loggia, the villa offers larger groups plenty of opportunities to relax in each other’s company or enjoy moments of escape and privacy.

 The property has an interesting history as it  was originally built as the summer residence of a local noble family. In 1692, the family invited Prince Frederick of Denmark and Norway as a guest while he was visiting Lucca during his Grand Tour of Italy. For many years, the fertile estate, which housed workers, a chapel, stables, and an olive oil press, was used for the cultivation of rare flowers. The estate is also famous for being the residence of Mr. Felice Matteucci, the father of the combustion engine, who invented it in 1853.
