Neighborhood

Vorno is a celebrated Village in the Lucchesia well known for its exquisite water and its welcome down draughts off the hills in the hot summer months. There are many well known Villas built centuries ago by Lucchese aristocrats wishing to scape the intense heat of summer with no trough traffic. The Villa Michaela estate is situated directly on the Via Francigena, the centuries old pilgrims route running from Canterbury to Rome. As a result there is amazing hiking direct from the house. The other great claim to fame of our Village is its strong affiliation to the invention of the internal combustion engine (motore a scoppio) by two Vorno residents Barsanti and Matteucci. We are also very fortunate to have a wonderful family owned trattoria A Bimbotto within five minutes walk. With a huge garden traditional Tuscan fare abounds with Nicola, the owner, grandmother's recipes and the best pizza ever known.
