Casa Felice Matteucci is a gem of a Tuscan farmhouse set on a stunning estate featuring hill-terraced olive groves and overlooking a small lake with its own little tree-shaded island reached by a wooden bridge. A piece of history, this stunning residence was once home to Felice Matteucci who, in the summer of 1854, invented the first stroke engine, a predecessor to that in modern motor cars, in his on-site workshop. Today, Casa Felice Matteucci is a blissful retreat to discover and enjoy the magical beauty of la dolce vita – the sweet life awaits!

The jasmine covered gazebo surrounded by well-manicured gardens sets the perfect backdrop to the flood-lit swimming pool. Alfresco dining is such a delight, surrounded by a large, well-manicured garden. Try out some local cuts on the barbeque. The perks inside include satellite television, a DVD player, centralized music system and Wi-Fi. You can also stay on top of your workouts in the well-equipped fitness room. The villa also features a banquet hall that serves as a most impressive setting for a special event. Your reservation includes a personal chef and housekeeping.

Everywhere you look at Casa Felice Matteucci, splashes of color brighten the mood of every room. The ground floor is spacious and sunny, offering a salon with comfortable sofas, a guest study, a grand domed dining room and Tuscan kitchen. High vaulted ceilings with exposed wooden beams contribute integrally to the rustic feel of the residence.

Casa Felice Matteucci offers six luxuriously appointed guestrooms, each with magnificent en-suite bath/shower rooms. The villa can accommodate up to twelve fortunate guests. Each suite has been given its own mood-enhancing color scheme. Fine linens and beddings offer splendid nights of rest.

During your stay at Casa Felice Matteucci, you will be just minutes from a tennis club and golf course as well as the towns of Lucca and Pisa. While Lucca is known for various historical structures such as its walls, streets, squares and buildings, it is also well-known as the birthplace of the legendary composer Giacomo Puccini (La Bohème and Madama Butterfly). Apart from its iconic ‘leaning tower,’ you can also visit a slew of other architectural sites including churches and picturesque squares in Pisa. Get it all in Tuscany!
