This charming B&B is located in the hills just outside the walled city of Lucca (6 km) and it is surrounded by olive groves and beautifully features a lovely small pond with a wooden bridge that leads to a little three-shaded island.
Its walls hold a unique historical and cultural heritage: it was home to the famous Architect Felice Matteucci, inventor of the first stroke engine in 1854 (prototype of the modern day motor car). For years the house has been the summer residence of many renowned families in Lucca, today it is a luxury BB with six spacious bedrooms and en-suite bathrooms.
