Scompiglio is known for its stunning location with views of the Lucca hills and mountains, olive groves, vineyards and pastel colored houses dotting the landscape. The peace and serenity of the location is complemented by the creative food served for lunch and dinner. A tranquil 30 minute walk from Villa Michaela it is a great way to pass an afternoon. (if you go for dinner we do recommend a taxi back to the villa as the walk is not as easy in the dark.) Scompiglio is open for dinner Thursday-Sunday from 7:00-10:30 and for lunch Wednesday-Sunday from 12:00-2:30
