Reviews for Villa Michaela
Perfect headquarters for a group visit
What a wonderful historic setting Villa Michaela is! Historic, but also comfortably appointed. We were 19 from the Furniture History Society, an international group, studying Lucchese furniture in the beautiful villas of the area’s countryside, as well as the private palaces in the ancient walled city of Lucca. We loved breakfasts in the Villa’s kitchen with its long table. Vanessa Rhode, owner of Villa Michaela laid on a delicious dinner in her formal dining room - a definite weekend highlight. We could not have had a warmer welcome from Vanessa and her helpful staff. Villa Michaela is a perfect base for group visits to the surrounding area.

Villa in Vorno
Beautiful villa quietly located just a few minutes from Luca and about half an hour from Pisa airport. The welcome from the owner and her team was as warm as the weather. The villa itself has been beautifully appointed and there is a wonderful swimming pool. Whilst it was an ideal spot for a quiet break I suspect it really comes into its own when it is filled for a family gathering or wedding. Nearby are some excellent places to eat without having to travel - the local pizzeria is only five minutes walk and is outstanding if you don’t want to drive.

The most beautiful villa in Tuscany
The villa is so beautiful so chic , the atmosphere was more beautiful than anywhere else in the world having dinner under the stars with Lemmon trees by candle light I’ve rarely seen such at atmosphere ! The staff are charming and friendly and the beds are extremely comfortable I slept so well. The area is full of beautiful walks and good restaurants . The beaches so close not to mention the historical Tuscan cities a close drive away. The air was cool and fresh due to the slight mountain breeze while the rest of Tuscany the heat was too much. The pool one of the most famous in Europe . Highly recommended.

Easter Week
I was invited, by a friend to join her at Villa Michaela, in Vorno near Lucca,for this past Easter holiday. Our rooms in the main house had the charming names of ‘Verdi’ and ‘Camalia’ flanking one side of a huge piano filled sitting room. In the morning you could hear the doves cooing and in the evening, the song of church bells. Our king sized beds were divine, comfy and beautifully made up. The gardens were in full bloom with red camellias, yellow roses and a peak display of fragrant wisteria. This week long stay was what Tuscan dreams are made of, encouraging one to water color or write prose. Too cold to swim but perfect for a hike up the hill through the olive groves. So many beautiful pictures on the walls, mirrors, side boards and porcelains to live with. I am looking forward to my next trip, hoping to ride bicycles around Lucca again and to have more fabulous dining pleasures in the villa’s gardens.

Incredible
Beautiful rooms, magnificent views, and Vorno is a perfect little village boasting a local restaurant better than it ought to be. Amazing real Italy with incredibly welcoming hosts. Stunning walks from the house across the valley and over Lucca and into the snow-cropped mountains. A* Italian destination.
