Love this place!

Great location, close to Lucca but not inside the city so it's quiet! Short 15 min taxi. Beautiful property! Host has a great pizza, beer and gelato place near by, called Pilato, that's excellent! Will definitely stay here again next time I'm in Lucca! Host treated us like family! Grazie mille Giacomo!!

Great family home away from home!!

Staying at Giacomo’s was everything we had hoped for. Perfect family home with lots of space, quiet, close to amenities, easy to navigate around area. Giacomo was an incredible host, bringing by fresh fruit from the garden, checking-in to see if everything was going alright, responded quickly to any questions. He even went out of his way to pay a parking ticket we got, very friendly and would highly recommend staying in his home!

A great place to stay

Giacomo is a great host, he helped us in every possible way without being intrusive. We loved the garden overflowing with plants and trees, and the nice view over the mountains, from the huge swimming pool. The house is big, super clean and well equipped, the only thing missing is a TV screen. We will sure come back in the future, thank you!

Top location, we enjoyed it!

We really enjoyed our two weeks in the Villa Cortilla. The house was clean and as described. Even we found a dishwasher which was not in the description. Thank you Giacomo for installing it! The pool was a great pleasure and you don’t need to take care of it because Giacomo does it. If you have a question or you need anything just contact him. We would love to come back.

Lose to Lucca

The home truly has that feel of what an Italian villa is like. The 3 bedrooms were really large and the two upstairs both had private baths. The living space inside was limited, but most of the time we were off exploring anyway. The yard was nice with lots of fruit trees. The pool was beautiful and the host kept it very clean. Onsite parking was a plus. Our host Giacomo was very quick to respond and went out of his way to help us out with whatever we asked. He delivered fresh fruit to us picked from his yard next door. The instructions for appliances and recycling were all very clear and his recommendations for restaurants were great! He actually owns a Restaurant right down the road that we went to 3 times! Best pizza and even gluten free pizza of any we had in Italy! Pilato Pinsa Birra e Gelato, you must try it! The location is good if you plan to spend time in Lucca. It’s only an hour from Florence and about an hour+ from Cinque terre, another must see area.

Logement propre, bien situé pour visiter la Toscane. Piscine agréable. Il y a un manque de confort général pour 6 personnes. Cuisine + salon + salle à manger = 20m². Un canapé pour 2 personnes, électro-ménagers de piètre qualité. 5 assiettes plat principal, 5 verres à eau, 2 casseroles (nous en avons demandé et reçu des supplémentaires), télé de seulement 60 cm, pas de four, pas d'aspirateur, petit lave-vaisselle (45 cm de large, 5 verres à vin.

Villa Cortinella

Giacomo ist ein perfekter Gastgeber. Die Villa ist sehr gut ausgestattet und der Poolbereich ist sehr schön gelegen. Wir haben uns hier sehr wohl gefühlt. Giacomo hat sich um alle Anfragen gekümmert und uns eine sehr tolle Weinprobe besorgt. Er gab uns immer wieder Tipps per WhatsApp. Sehr sehr schön. Wir waren rundum zufrieden. Vielen Dank und auf ein Wiedersehen :-)

Urlaub im Ferienhaus

Ein ganz tolles Haus mit viel Platz. Jedes Zimmer hat ein eigenes Bad. Grosser Küchenbereich. Schöner langer Pool ideal zum Schwimmen oder einfach nur planschen. Für Kinder spitze, da großer Gartenbereichund nicht einsehbar. Der Besitzer sehr, sehr freundlich, nett und hilfsbereit. Absolut zu empfehlen. Nach Lucca einige Minuten mit dem Auto. Wir haben uns mit unserer Familie sehr wohl gefühlt und uns super erholt.

Super Pool

Der Poolbereich ist super, inclusive Liegen und großem Esstisch mit Außengrill. Im Haus hätten wir uns etwas bessere Ausstattung gewünscht - Seife wäre sehr nützlich gewesen, besonders da wir - ungeplant - mitten in der Nacht angekommen sind. In der Küche gab es zwar genügend Teller, Besteck und Wassergläser, aber sonst fast nichts, keine Dessertschalen, nur 2x2 Weingläser und keine Platten. insbesondere gab es für den modernen Induktionsherd nur einen Topf und zwei Pfannen - sehr schade, denn in der Küche konnte man sich gut aufhalten. Trotzdem fanden wir unseren Aufenthalt super, weil das Wetter uns viel Zeit im Garten und Pool erlaubt hat. Vielen Dank an den Gastgeber und seine Flexibilität!

Tolle Unterkunft für Ausflüge in die Toskana

Giacomo war ein hervorragender Gastgeber, der uns mit umfangreichen Informationen zu Sehenswürdigkeiten und Ausflugszielen versorgte. Er antwortete immer schnell und war sehr zuvorkommend. Das Haus hat uns sehr gut gefallen. Vor allem die drei Bäder, die an die drei Zimmer jeweils angebunden sind, bieten ein hohes Maß an Komfort. Das Haus war sehr sauber. Der Poolbereich lag zwar einige Meter vom Hauseingang entfernt, war dafür aber sehr groß und privat. Durch die gute Lage des Hauses konnten Ausflugsziele wie Lucca, Pisa, Florenz, Viareggio oder auch Sienna gut an einem Tag besucht werden. Lucca liegt nur 15 Minuten mit dem Auto entfernt. Entsprechend wurden vor allem die Restaurants vor Ort für Abendessen aufgesucht. Einziges Manko: Das Haus liegt an einer viel befahrenen Straße. In der Nähe befindet sich eine Zentrale für Krankenwagen. Entsprechend ist auch immer wieder Sirenenlärm zu hören. Insgesamt stört das aber nicht weiter und das Haus und der Gastgeber kompensieren diesen Nachteil mehrfach.

Schönes Haus mit grossem Pool und Garten im Vorort von Lucca

Wir hatten drei sehr schöne Wochen in dieser großen Doppelhaushälfte neben dem Vermieter in einem großen landwirtschaftlich gepflegten Garten. Dort befand sich auch der große Pool zur Alleinbenutzung für uns, was meine vier Buben häufig taten. Der Vermieter verhielt sich sehr diskret und zuvorkommend. Er versorgte uns mehrmals mit Tomaten aus dem eigenen Garten. Die Ausstattung der Küche ließ etwas zu wünschen übrig. Da kein Backofen vorhanden ist und wenig Kochgeschirr, verzichteten wir auf größere Kochgerichte. Die Lage des Hauses bietet viele Möglichkeiten. In 15 Minuten kann Lucca, in 30 Minuten der Sandstrand bei Pisa, in einer Stunde die Sehenswürdigkeiten in Florenz als auch die Wandermöglichkeiten in den Bergen erreicht werden.

Eine Bäckerei und eine Konditorei sind fußläufig gut zu erreichen. In Florenz und Pisa ist man mit dem Auto schnell. Auch in direkter Umgebungen gibt es einige Dinge, die man sich ansehen sollte. Im Haus liegt eine Mappe mit guten Empfehlungen. Der Pool zur Alleinbenutzung ist natürlich super. Wenn man mit sechs Personen reist, wäre etwas mehr an Geschirr und Gläsern gut.

Fantastic family holiday

We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday in Tuscany. The property was a perfect location to explore the area. We flew into Pisa and hired a car for the week. Giacomo has prepared an excellent guide with day trip itineraries which we used to visit the delights of Lucca, Pisa, Florence, the coast and surrounding hillside. The villa gave my family - wife, two teenage sons and 11 year old daughter - ideal surroundings to relax in between trips out. Lovely pool, nice garden, table tennis and good local amenities. Would highly recommend, thank you!

Why they chose this property

This property is near the house where i live in summer

What makes this property unique

The property is drowning in green. There are oliveyards and vineyards all around, several kind of trees and bushes, a lot of lemon and orange trees, and a lovely leafy arch at the entrance of the Swimming Pool.

The sun shines almost everyday, and at the night it is beautiful to just look at the stars as the sky is really clean and the air is warm!
