Villa Anacio, built as a summer residence for noble merchants, was also the residence of Felice Matteucci, the father of the combustion engine. The villa is nestled in the Tuscan countryside below Monte Pisano, where famous battles between Pisa and Lucca took place in centuries past, in the southern outskirts of Lucca.
Within this charming state, a walled garden provides a peaceful and relaxing setting for the swimming pool and for the summerhouse with a fully-equipped workout room.
