About this property

Villa Dondolino, a Stylish Farmhouse with Private Pool close to Lucca and the Beach

Savor dreamy, unforgettable days among the romantic gardens and views of Villa Dondolino, relax on elegant loungers in the olive grove and bathing in the swimming pool. In the afternoon, make your own grillade and relish it alfresco. Then sip digestivi on the veranda.
The villa's interior includes multiple living salons with beautiful period furnishings and paint finishes. Prepare delicious Italian meals in the fully equipped kitchen, featuring modern appliances and a lovely veranda with breakfast table, and gather in the gorgeous formal dining rooms for festive feasts.
Glorious walks abound from your front door leading to hilltop views of high mountain ranges and glimpses of the glistening Mediterranean. Explore nearby ancient churches and the well-preserved medieval hamlets around, once a resting point for weary pilgrims travelling the Via Francigena, the famous pilgrim route that connected Northern Europe to Rome and then on to the Holy Land.
Villa Dondolino enjoys an ideal location on the surrounding hills A 15 mins drive brings you to Lucca—a medieval gem of a town famed for its fortified city walls, historic architecture and monuments as well of course for its wine production. Its narrow streets and splendid squares are filled with intriguing shops, enticing cafes and great restaurants. Take a bicycle ride on the battlements or set aside a few hours to tour a local vineyard and taste your way to a new favourite wine. On a day trip away from your rural retreat, stroll along the sandy beaches or take a swim in the warm waters on the bustling Versillian Riviera just 25 mins away; it’s a unique Italian seaside experience with bathing establishments stretching for miles along the sandy shores from vibrant Viareggio to sophisticated Forte dei Marmi. Florence, Pisa, Siena, Volterra, San Gimignano, Montecatini Terme, the fishing villages of the Cinque Terre, the spectacular mountains of the Garfagnana and many other highlights are all within easy reach.

Perfect place for explore Tuscany
Stayed there as a family and it was the perfect hub to explore the surroundings of Tuscany. Not far from Florence, Pisa and Cinque Terre - beautiful views and peaceful at night. The house itself was in superb condition and the host was responsive and helpful.

Everything we’d dreamed it would be
Everything we’d dreamed it would be – peace and quiet, idyllic surroundings and breathtaking views. Thank you very much for a fantastic week at Dondolino. It’s a wonderful building in a great setting. You are very lucky people to have it, and we count ourselves fortunate to have been able to make use of it. Every room was beautiful.

So much more than a home away from away from home
The description fairly describes the property and opportunities it offers but how you fall in love with this place when you visit is a very personal thing. The elements, the sounds, aromas light and feel of the air around Dondalino is unique in our experience. It's setting brings drama of sunsets and sunrises, breezes and zephyrs that keep a freshness when elsewhere the atmosphere is stuffy and the light in the gardens and around the pool and the house is very special in the low hillside air. Our hosts were brilliant and the agency helped make our month long summer stay with family very special. Definitely hope to visit again The property caters for 8 and it would be useful to be able to have enough equipment to covers two meals for everyone. It would be beneficial for the agency to offer a mid-stay clean. The owners offer incredible support to guests
