Neighborhood

Vorno is a celebrated Village in the Lucchesia area well known for its exquisite water and its welcome cooling breezes off the hills in the hot summer months. Villa Michaela is surrounded by Tuscan hills, covered in olive groves and fruit trees. The drive to the villa is lined with ancient stone walls, grape vines, Italian Cyprus trees and stunning views of the surrounding mountains.There are many well-known Villas built centuries ago by Lucchese aristocrats wishing to escape the intense heat of summer with no through 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 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 a five-minute walk from the villa. The restaurant offers a huge garden, traditional Tuscan fare prepared under the guidance of Nicola, the owner, using his grandmother's recipes. They are popular for making the best pizza ever known.
