Lovely villa with panoramic pool & gardens between Lucca & Pisa

A lovely huge house with a beautiful garden and amazing view on the mountains. The pool is really big. We have been 11 people and had lots of stuff for the kids as well in the pool and it was real fun. The house itself is huge and lovely spacious rooms. One of the rooms got its on balcony which is great to sit on and look down to Lucca and some fireworks which have been on at that time due to festivals in town. The rooms got big wardrobes to fil in and even get your suitcases packed away. There were to fridges in the house, one in the utility room and also a Washing machine, iron board and even washing liquid for the laundry. We all had enough space to live and get our own space if we wanted. The garden is bigger than it looks on the pictures. Fiona and her dad are such lovely people and whenever we needed anything or had a question they helped out straight away. The house is located in Lucca san Lorenzo and so easy to reach so many lovely places and the supermarkets or pizza places or restaurants. We would definitely go there again and can recommend the place for sure! We had the best stay ever and didn’t want to leave. Thank you so much for everything Fiona ! Hope to see you soon again!

Large, clean and very well located house near Lucca, with beautiful view on city. Everything was perfect. Thank You

3 generations of the family spent a relaxing week at the villa. The accommodation was all we hoped for, with bedrooms and bathrooms clean and spacious. We managed to squeeze everyone round the kitchen table for breakfast but it was far more comfortable the day we ate at the large table outside. The water in the pool was colder than we liked ,which was understandable for early April. We enjoyed a special meal on Thursday, cooked by a chef recommended by Fiona. It was a superb evening & we really recommend this experience. The pizza restaurant in the village is great for take away or sit in. We managed visits to Lucca, Pisa, Florence, nature reserves & the beach. The villa helped make it a great week.

There were 4 of us ladies using this lovely villa for 10 days. Very comfortable and wonderfully located. Bring your own spices. Just little things need to be addressed, i.e. replacement of the cutting boards. Angelo and Fiona were responsive to all of our needs. Angelo took us to town to pick up our rental car and came right over when we found that several light bulbs had to be replaced. We were fortunate to have superb weather for our entire stay, which enhanced the views from the villa.

The photographs did not do the property justice. This is a lovely house. One review we read before going said it needed a little TLC and in terms of updating (getting rid of) floor mats, replacing cupboard liners, putting easy wipe covers on the two main tables and putting a curtain on one of the upstairs showers, it does. The oven was difficult to light and a sharp knife and larger frying pans would be an asset to the kitchen. The fans in bedrooms were a Godsend! The views spectacular. We have been taking family villa holidays for nearly fourteen years and we did not have to worry about living in a show house for two weeks so we could all really relax.This is so obviously a home and we hoped we respected it. The pool was brilliant as it was all one depth. The teenagers and children made very good use of it (bring your own pool toys). The gardens, view and generally situation of the house were beautiful. It was generally clean,towels for pool and bathrooms were provided as were sheets. TV channels are limited. You really need a car to get groceries. The local mini-market was closed until September so it was Lucca for food shopping- local taxi drivers grumped about taking us back to the house with shopping. Buses are cheap and easy to access to Lucca but shopping for ten people necessitated several grocery trips there. Bus stops are signs and little else. It was a bit hairy crossing the busy roads to catch buses.The local butcher had good meat and supplied milk/eggs/water. There is a pizzeria within ten minute walking distance and the food is magnificent!! However some of our party have difficulty walking and so we only went once. A car is a necessity here. One of the best things about this rental was Fiona and her father Angelo. Angelo checked the pool/garden everyday and kept an eye on how the rubbish was organised. He was friendly, helpful yet unobtrusive. Fiona rescued us twice, she very kindly picked two of us up from the supermarket after working all day and she also arranged for transport from Florence when another two of us were directed onto the wrong train from Rome. She and Angelo offered to take us anywhere we wanted to go but we did not want to intrude. A family friend, Lorenzo, also gave us a lift to Lucca. Rosey fixed the washing machine and Fiona arranged our pick up and returns from Pisa- again a very kind lady. Highly reccomend this home! The most relaxing holiday we have had in a long time!!(Brownlee-Hall)
