Property is well equipped and well situated, close enough to town but far enough to enjoy the peace and quiet. Giovanna is the most welcoming host we have ever experienced. We would come back just to enjoy her hospitality again.

Great location - v relaxing beautiful pool area

What a find this place is - better than I expected - beautiful apartments and grounds and pool are superb - you can walk into lucca takes about 35 mins - but to be honest it's so nice to eat at the apartment and sit outside looking at the beautiful surroundings

Relaxing Tuscan Farmhouse!

Appreciated that we had assigned outdoor areas including the sun loungers and dining table. You pay for aircon usage but we only paid €20 for about an hour a day for a week! Very friendly and helpful hosts. Beautiful views. Would definitely recommend Encantea for a relaxing Tuscan getaway!

Summer 2024

Encantea and Giovanna made this a trip to remember! Encantea offered the best of both worlds! A beautiful, well cared for property in a countryside setting.. and with pool! Yet within 5-10 mins of the Old Town wall and all its history and charm! Giovanna is a fabulous host and. True pleasure to meet!

Fabulous place

We stayed as a family of 4 people in the Timo apartment . The owner was there to greet us on arrival and was very helpful , giving us useful information about the area. The area is very peaceful and a short 5 minute journey to Lucca. Lucca is a beautiful town with lots to see and do. We really could not fault our stay. The property is very conveniently close to a supermarket, butchers , restaurants , petrol station. All very handy. The local pizza restaurant was excellent- try it !

Relaxing

Gracious host that is on property to ensure we have everything we need. Property is as described and more. Lots of space to relax and enjoy. The pool is definitely an added plus during the hot summer months. We utilized the AC during the hot days of late June and it kept the apartment nice and cool the entire week. Quick drive to Lucca (free parking right outside of the city walls) and central location to explore the Tuscan region. We would definitely stay here again when in the region.

Family Trip

Great stay, beautiful country property. A bit far from town, but manageable on foot and bike. We rented bikes and it only took about 10 minutes to get to the wall of the city, about 25 to walk. The property is across street from many bike and walking trails along the river. Lucca is a picturesque small city thats great to stroll and dine in. We climbed the tower and on a whim visited the torture museum-which was both disturbing and fascinating. We most enjoyed biking around and into the city. Giovana was very kind, patient and attentive and quick to help us with anything. I imagine the property would be perfect in warmer months when the pool is open. We visited Florence, Pisa and Rome also. All well worth it. Italy is amazing, we can’t wait to come back!

Great apartment, great owners!

We spent 11 days in Timo with our kids. Everything is renovated with the option for air conditioning. The owners are at the house every day working on the grounds. They are always happy to help you with directions, reference to restaurents,ect... But location,location,location! My kids are 8 and 10 and don't have the patience for long drives. Lucca 5min., Pisa 20 min., Florence 1hre and to the ferry for 5 terre , Sienna 1h30. We were able to leave in the morning for our visits and come back at the house in the afternoon to relax by the pool. Close to the house grocery store, wine store, butcher, pizza and gelateria...all perfect!

5 nights on the outskirts of Lucca

My partner and I, along with our one-year-old son, enjoyed 5 days and nights at the property. It is located a good 20 minutes walk from the city walls of Lucca but only 5 minutes by car. If, like us, you enjoy cycling then this is a perfect location - set in beautiful countryside outside of the city which is easily accessible and offer a range of sights, bars and restaurants. The city is great to wander around and the city walls are perfect for cycling. We fell in love with Lucca and loved the amount of space in the grounds of the property. Our son could roam around away from any traffic and we could all enjoy the beautiful pool. We were also able to use the barbecue onsite and Giovanna was an excellent host - always available to answer any questions and to help us with booking bikes. Perhaps the property we stayed in - Timo - was slightly dated but nevertheless, it was spotlessly clean, spacious enough for the 3 of us and featured hot running water and air conditioning. We would certainly stay again!

Familienurlaub in Lucca

Der Aufenthalt war wirklich schön. Das Grundstück wird von den Vermietern sehr gepflegt. Der Kontakt mit Giovanna war reibungslos. Der Pool ist herrlich zum entspannen. Man hat sein festen Platz, wir hatten ihn oft für uns allein. Im Schlafzimmer gibt es keine Klimaanlage, sodass es in der Nacht ganz schön warm wird. Ich kann diese Unterkunft mit besten Gewissen weiterempfehlen

Great mix of town and country

If you are looking for a quiet Italian escape, with a large beautiful pool only a short walk to a stunning medieval walled town then this is the place. Geovanna and Francesco will look after you. Local pizza restaurant a short walk, bike hire nearby. Everything we were looking for.

Gepfleget, saubere, liebevoll eingerichtete Wohung, die der Beschreibung entspricht

Wir haben uns während unseres Aufenthaltes sehr wohl gefühlt. Die Anlage mit Pool und Sitzplatz ist sehr gepflegt; ebenso die Wohnung, die der Beschreibung entspricht. Giovanna ist ausgeprochen hilfsbereit und hat gute Tipps zu Restaurants und Stränden. Bei einem Unfall hat sie uns ins Krankenhaus begleitet und Dolmetscherdienste geleistet. Wir würden jedezeit wieder hinfahren.

STUNNING!!!

This review is written by a family of 4 (children aged 10 & 11) staying in May 2017. We broke down the review in sections that were important to us when choosing a rental. Outside: WOW, true Tuscany! Even better than the photos. Acres of space, beautiful gardens, amazing views. The gardens are beautifully kept. There were several sections to enjoy including the large clean pool, lounge/sunning area, outdoor dining, and open fields. We appreciated the owners take great care to ensure each guest has a designated space of their own. The outdoor areas provided shade cover. Our boys loved playing football in the open field then going for a swim the pool. We had very memorable family dinners under the portico. Inside: We stayed in Timo with 2 bedrooms. The children had their own beds in a shared room. Beds were very comfortable. The bathroom was spacious. The views from each window were fabulous. Kitchen was very well equipped. The apartment was very clean and quiet. Location: Just outside of Lucca - wonderful town to visit for shopping, dining, etc. This was our 2nd location on our Italy trip and a welcome change from the hustle and bustle of Rome. There was a grocery store, restaurant, bakery, and ice cream within walking distance. We arrived by train and did not rent a car but used taxi service too and from the villa. The villa is just outside Lucca, very quiet with views of the mountains. Owner Communication: Giovanna was absolutely wonderful. Prompt with email reservations and inquiries. She helped us with arranging taxis, groceries, information, etc. Overall: We would absolutely stay in this villa again and would highly recommend it for a restful stay with plenty to see and do in Lucca. Next visit we would want to try some of the cooking classes in the area.

Wunderschönes Haus außerhalb vo n Lucca

Wir bewohnten im Mai 2015 die Ferienwohnung im 2. OG mit 2 Erwachsenen und 2 Kindern. Giovanna erklärte alles wunderbar und zeichnete Karten, so dass wir uns zurechtfinden konnten. Tagsüber machten wir Sightseeing und kehrten am Nachmittag zurück, um am Pool zu relaxen. Kleiner Minuspunkt: Dieser ist nicht beheizbar, so dass es Ende Mai doch etwas Überwindung kostete, hineinzugehen. Der Garten ist ein Traum, riesengroß. Giovanna und Francesco sind morgens und abends in der Nähe, um dieses Gelände zu pflegen. Wir fühlten uns sehr wohl und empfehlen Encantea gerne weiter.
