5 Bedrooms

Location and Surrounding Area
Immersed in the peaceful Tuscan countryside, this exclusive five-bedroom property is ideally located to offer complete privacy to its guests and to explore the region’s cultural highlights and most spectacular natural wonders. Enjoying a privileged position between Lucca and Florence, Villa del Michelangelo represents the perfect location for day trips to the most beautiful towns in Tuscany and provides a unique opportunity to admire its iconic landscapes while soaking up the region’s incredibly rich historical and cultural heritage.

Villa del Michelangelo is just a stone’s throw away from Lucca, also known as “the city of 100 churches”. Hidden behind impressive Renaissance walls, its cobbled streets, delightful squares and shady promenades make it a perfect destination to explore on foot. At the end of the day, open-air cafes and historic restaurants tempt visitors to relax over a glass of Lucchese wine and a slow progression of dishes prepared with fresh produce from nearby Garfagnana.

Pisa, exceptionally well-known for its famous Leaning Bell Tower, is about a 30-minute drive from the villa. After having climbed all the steps up to the top of the tower to admire the breathtaking view of the town, continue your visit to other monuments in the marvellous Piazza dei Miracoli, where every element is unique and hides secrets that add mystery to the general splendor: begin at the Cathedral, with its marble façade enhanced by spectacular columns and statues, before continuing to the Baptistery, another gem you absolutely cannot miss.

In less than one hour by car, you can easily reach Forte dei Marmi, famous for being the preferred holiday destination of many international celebrities and the ideal place for those who love high standards services and a vibrant nightlife. With its beautiful beaches, exclusive designer boutiques, and lively atmosphere, Forte dei Marmi attracts tourists from all over the world every year. Before leaving the town, do not forget to take a stroll along the pier, historically used for loading marble extracted from the quarries onto the boats.

In just one hour by car, you can easily reach Florence, famous for being a treasure chest of priceless heritage. The most important sites in Florence include the Duomo, the Baptistery, the Uffizi and the Galleria dell’Accademia. The churches of Santa Maria Novella and Santa Croce are veritable art galleries, while the library of San Lorenzo is a magnificent exhibition of Michelangelo’s architectural genius. Wander some of the most ancient streets in the city until you reach the Arno River, cross the Ponte Vecchio and experience the newest area of Florence, the Oltrarno.
