Villa Michaela, Tuscany

Villa Michaela is a dream of a Tuscan escape — effortlessly elegant, undeniably romantic, and made for unforgettable celebrations. Tucked into the sleepy village of Vorno, just 5km from Lucca’s storybook historic centre and a breezy 30-minute drive from the golden beaches of Forte dei Marmi, this grand villa is the kind of place that feels both impressively stately and warmly lived-in.

With space for up to 40 guests across 18 individually styled bedrooms, the villa is made for destination weddings that blend intimacy with impact. You’ll find sweeping views over olive groves and pine forests, a lemon garden complete with trickling fountain, and a pool big enough for post-ceremony dives (or pre-wedding lounging).

Ceremony options? You’re spoilt for choice. The neoclassical chapel – complete with grand piano – offers a dramatic indoor setting for up to 60 guests, while the grounds are dotted with scenic spots for al fresco vows under the Tuscan sky. There’s even a tennis court and pizza oven for laid-back celebrations with your crew.

And when the sun dips low, Villa Michaela has a secret up its sleeve — an underground party room built for dancing into the early hours. Think candlelight, Villa Michaela’s very own wine in hand and music echoing through stone walls.

What we love most about Villa Michaela is its soul – this isn’t a hotel with a playbook, it’s a warm, family-owned villa where your wedding feels entirely your own. The team here pride themselves on flexibility, meaning you won’t find rigid rules or cookie-cutter schedules. Want a bespoke ceremony under the olive trees or a long, languid dinner in the lemon garden? It’s all possible.

And while Italian law suggests wrapping up outdoor music by 12:30am, the villa’s secret weapon is the dedicated underground party room — perfect for dancing ’til the early hours without disturbing the peace.

Owned and run by an English-speaking team (who also speak Italian, French, German and Portuguese), the planning process feels smooth and effortless – ideal for international couples looking for calm, clear communication from the start.

Many couples fall so in love with this place they return year after year — often with little ones in tow — to relive the memories. It’s that kind of venue: timeless, welcoming and made for celebrations that become family traditions.

Just 30 minutes from Pisa Airport, it’s easy to reach but feels like a true Italian hideaway.

For couples dreaming of a stylish, sun-soaked wedding surrounded by history, beauty, and a little late-night mischief — Villa Michaela delivers.
