About this villa rental

A rare find!
Property with exclusive use of garden and pool close to the historic centre of the medieval city of Lucca.
We are offering two spacious apartments (both included in the price!) accessed from the same landing so perfect for a large group/2 families seeking some individual privacy.
Each apartment is individually equipped, and each has its own balcony.
This property is ideal for groups who want their own space, but who also want to spend time together outside in the garden dining under the pergola. The garden is ideally equipped for al fresco living!
The location is perfect for exploring - a semi-rural position yet only a 5 minute drive or 2.1km walk from the centre of delightful Lucca. Only a 5-minute drive from the motorway ideal for visiting the many delights of Tuscany by car, or if you prefer, travel by train from Lucca too.
Do see below for suggestions of daytrips - the choice is endless.

The owner can meet guests at airport or Lucca station (depending on numbers). This will be cheaper than a taxi. Nevertheless car hire is recommended.
Owners can organise cookery lessons in the Lucchese hills

Our conclusion is that this option is a great offering for those wishing to use a property as a base to explore the area without the need to travel half way down a mountain, yet with the benefits of exclusive use of a pool, which one usually only finds with a rural villa.

NB – Until 2024 we had all 4 and 5 star reviews for this property. In 2024 we received comments that the advert had not made clear that the villa is the owners' family home, and they let out the 2 apartments to guests. They do not use your garden or pool area and do all they can to respect privacy. They have their own family garden at the back of the property and for 2025 have prepared their own entrance from the road. Owners leave the parking for your exclusive use (although they may occasionally use the driveway for unloading). Of course, you have the added benefit that the owners can help you if you need anything!

A little about the area:
Close to the stunning historic centre of the mediaeval walled City of Lucca and also Lucca train station - 2.1 km by foot and 4km by car. Lucca, has regular markets, antiques markets, outdoor concerts, designer shopping, nightly opera recitals, the wall for cycling, relaxing, children's parks, plenty of wonderful restaurants and bars, and beautiful Piazzas for coffee, prosecco and people watching.
The train station of Lucca regularly serves Florence, Pisa, and the seaside direct and there is also access to Siena and Montecatini etc with one change.
Exploring by bicycle is a favourite in Lucca and there are lots of places to hire them .......

Golf - various golf options
Pisa with its duomo and leaning tower- 20 minutes

Everything was as expected. Very friendly and serviceminded host.

Very helpful host makes you feel really welcome. Large well equipped apartment with bathroom for each bedroom. Excellent pool and outside facilities. Surroundings outside the garden with a waste water plant nearby is the only thing preventing 5 stars.
10.0 / 10.0
The apartments are modern and well stocked. Be aware that the apartments are up two flights of stairs. The owners occupy the ground floor apartment and were very responsive to our questions and needs. The kids enjoyed the pool and we enjoyed the patio grill. Plenty of room for all of us (7 people total). The AC was a must and was a welcomed respite after a day of exploring. We were minutes from the walled city of Lucca. It was an easy drive to Barga. We took day trips to Florence and Siena as well. Highly recommend!

We have just returned from a week in Lucca. We had a lovely rine and particularly enjoyed the outside space which really make this rental. The pool was very welcome in the extreme heat and the garden space around the pool is great, with plenty of space to relax and dine. Always able to get shade too. It is 2 separate apartments which worked well as we were 2 families so it was nice to have our own space. The following areas were disappointing and not as expected or advertised - you are renting 2 2nd floor apartments within a villa, not the whole villa. The ground and first floor are occupied by the owner and their family. Whilst they dont use the pool and garden, they are always around and have a balcony that overlooks the pool and so it doesnt feel very private. There was also noise in the apartment from the children living downstairs. It feels like you are renting a room in somebody's house rather than renting a villa. If you want a private space, this is not for you. - the listing says the owners have their own entrance and parking but they don't and park inside the gates right infront of the pool. This made it more difficult getting our 2 cars in and out and again doesnt make it feel private. - the listing says there is a ping pong table in the garden but there isnt - there is a municipal dog pound on the same road so you do get a lot of dog barking, particularly in the evenings

We loved the Villa and really enjoyed our week of Tuscany living. Lucca is a beautiful area and I wish we could have stayed longer!

The property was perfect for my 9 people. Designed to be split into two separate apartments. The pool was the big hit. After hot days on tours, coming back to a pool was perfect. I would recommend a rental car. The house is 1.2 miles from Lucca.

We had 6 days in the Lucca region and we loved it! Lucca city was fabulous, never a problem parking outside the city walls, and the shops and restaurants were many and varied. A wonderful visit!

We were picked up at the train station by our helpful host, and welcomed by his lovely wife on arrival at the property. Both ensured we were able to ask them anything. The apartments and outdoor areas are immaculate and well-maintained. Having two areas for 3 family groups was very helpful. There were spaces for us all to gather and also the opportunity for quieter spaces when needed. The apartment is well-equipped with appliances and cooking and serving utensils. The beds were very comfortable, large rooms and great bathrooms. The weather (and water) were still a little too cool for us to fully utilise the beautiful pool - but this did not stop a few of us from trying. The outside dining area was lovely. We hired bikes in Lucca for all 8 of us. This was a great option for us as we did not want to be driving. Thank you for your organisation, Lorraine. Thank you especially to Elaine and Sanai - you are kind and generous people. We loved getting to know you and your family.
