About Villa Michaela (già Villa Nottolini)

Your guests arrive at Villa Michaela to find a working estate in rural Tuscany where they'll sleep under one roof for three nights, share meals prepared by the villa's own kitchen team, and attend ceremonies in a 70-seat chapel steps from the gardens.

The entire property, 17 rooms across two buildings, a dining hall with chandeliers, and private chapel, belongs to your wedding alone, with no other events competing for staff or space.

Rain simply becomes a non-issue: the dining room seats all 70 guests with room to spare.

My favorite place to visit in all of Italy, we have been returning each year and love it more each time. Beautiful orignal Tuscan villa wonderfully restored surrounded by olive groves in a charming village 10 minutes from Lucca.
