I led a group of 20 adults for a week in mid-September. The main house has some lovely large ensuite bedrooms, and is well located near Lucca. It's a 7 minute drive to the nearest grocery store). The grounds are nice, with nearly enough space for our 20 guests to sit around the inside and outside tables, but it was very tight. The unheated pool is stained green around the edges and looks dirty, but was usable, though chilly. It does technically have 10 bedrooms and bathrooms, but one bedroom is a child's room (2 twin beds) without an ensuite (there is a bathroom down the stairs), the main floor bedroom has an unappealing tiny bathroom out in the hall, and two of the smaller ensuite rooms were out in a cottage at the other end of the property. So 10 couples were not able to be equally accommodated. The kitchen equipment was lacking: of the three small drip coffee makers only one worked, no cork screw or cocktail shaker, only a couple towels and cloths. There were only enough supplies for the first day (we had to buy garbage bags, dishwasher and laundry soap, toilet paper, paper towels, etc. on the 2nd day), so be sure to have a car to run into town. The place is also difficult to find, as the address provided does not correspond to the address on the house, and there are four possible entry points. Both Amazon and food deliveries were returned because the delivery people could not figure out where to drop the items. The wi-fi cut out several times. Pretty good but not great.

The property was not only as advertised but even more lovely in person. It was well equipped across the board to accommodate a group of our size. Rooms were well appointed, check in and out was very smooth. We thoroughly enjoyed our time in this property.

Magical 70th Birthday

Arrived just after Christmas, tired from holidays and flights to this beautiful property! The setting was perfect as the villa has a few properties bordering it but once you’re inside the gates it’s completely private. The public spaces are many so all can be private or part of a group. The bedrooms are beautiful; well furnished and comfortable and each has special touches that make it personal. The bathrooms are modern with wonderful showers that are powerful. Our favorite place may have been the kitchen where people gathered throughout the morning for breakfast and conversation. The table easily seats ten with enough room for more and a second table if desired. Each night we ate at the formal dining room table which accommodated all 16 of us. Plenty of wine glasses, dishes and cutlery. We had a chef come in and cook for us for 2 nights (FrancescaBounagurella) and cooked delicious dinners the other six nights. If you are planning to cook the kitchen is spacious and well appointed with 2 dishwashers and 2 stovetops..You will love this house. Only suggestion would be more dish towels, napkins and a bigger coffee pot.

Amazing memories here!

We just came home from the most amazing week in this villa. We had 5 families stay and had plenty of room. Everything was perfect. The Villa, the location, the amenities. Martina our host was so accommodating and helped us to arrange some unforgettable experiences. I highly recommend chef Alice for a private dinner and Chef Francesca for the cooking class in the villa. Martina was always available and checked in frequently. I cannot wait to come back to this beautiful place. Thank you for a week we will never forget!

Family Staycation-3 Weeks

Excellent property. Spacious, clean rooms in a centuries old villa. Updates to the villa were top-notch, preserving the charm of the original house. Pictures of the property gave an accurate impression. Fully equipped kitchen. Beautifully landscaped property with an outdoor kitchen with 2 stone fireplaces which we used to make some unforgettable Bistecca Fiorentina, purchased at the local butcher. 10 minutes walk to bus. 20 minutes to Lucca. 5 minutes drive to village with a great trattoria, butcher, and excellent pizzeria. Villa manager was very responsive to minor maintenance issues. No disappointments with this property that I highly recommend.

Beautiful Tuscan villa

My family, made up of 7 adults, one grandchild and a babysitter, spent 10 days at this beautiful Tuscan villa in July. The villa is a 10 minute drive from Lucca in the Tuscan hills. It is an hour from Florence, and a half hour from the beach, and other wonderful . day trips, including Cinque Terre, which were all great day trips that we took. The villa itself is a large, gracious and beautifully built 16th century home. The bedrooms are large with many of them ensuite. Two of the bedrooms are in a house at the far side of the property, which we did not use. The layout worked well for our group. Cristine who managed the property was a pleasure to deal with. as was Stephanie, who came every day to help clean the house and help with the garbage etc. While the villa has a beautiful view of the countryside, it backs on to a courtyard with other houses. This did not, however, detract from the countryside setting of the villa. It is beautifully decorated, with comfortable furniture, inside and outside of the house. and the bathrooms are newly renovated. The beds are comfortable with high end linen and plenty of closet space in each room. There are many super markets nearby that have fresh fish, meat, and produce, as well as a delicious bakeries and a pharmacy for all of your needs. The only disappointment, based on the description of the house, is that the kitchen has not been newly renovated. Given our disappointment, the managers of the property did purchase new kitchen gadgets, as well as a clothes dryer for the property. The kitchen is functional but not a newly upgraded kitchen with high end appliances as we had expected and the only reason we have given the villa a four star as opposed to 5 star rating. The managers did everything they could to make our stay comfortable, and were very responsive to our needs, including immediately buying a new pool umbrella to replace the broken one. I would highly recommend the villa for a large family holiday or a group of friends.

Super ausgestattete Villa

Wir haben als Großfamilie mit 19 Personen eine wunderschöne Woche in der Villa verbracht. Sehr gut ausgestattete Villa, wo vom Olivenöl bis zum Toilettenpapier alles vorhanden war, 2 Geschirrspüler, großer Pool, wunderschöner Olivengarten. Die Lage ist nicht optimal, man muss 8 km zum Supermarkt fahren, aber das Anwesen ist sehr privat und nur zu empfehlen!
