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.

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.

This was our second 2 week stay at Villa Medea. This visit was as good if not better than our first stay. It felt like home when we walked in. The grounds are beautiful and so relaxing. And, love relaxing by the pool! There were 9 of us the first week and 12 the second. We never felt crowded. Everyone did their own thing during the day and then gathered for cocktails and dinner together. And, we love being able to have all of us having dinner together at one table either inside or outside. Chef Alice- the Villa chef- is as wonderful as always. She cooked for us 3 times this visit. We've found it's great to have her prepare dinner for us, especially the first night of our arrival. No one is ready to cook for the group when they first arrive. Stefania, the villa manager, was so responsive and helpful. We couldn't ask for a better vacation with our friends. We hope to return again... and enjoy this most relaxing beautiful Villa again....

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!

Villa Medea was the perfect location for our celebration! As a group of 9 of mixed ages it was a great spot. The pool was fabulous, lots of space to all be around it at the same time. The outside dining area was perfect for diners all together. Alice, the caterer recommended to us by the villa manager, could not have been more helpful and her dinners were superb!

Villa was awesome and exactly as described. Our Villa manager Martina was terrific and helped make our stay a great one. She was always available when we asked a question. Accommodations were great and we loved the grounds and pool. Everyone had a great rime. The only suggestion I'd make is to inform people that taxi service isn't the best and that arranging transportation ahead of time is recommended. No other suggestions.
