Review for stay from 27 May 2023 to 03 June 2023
We had a lovely relaxed week with ten in the villa with 3 family groups - our teen family members loved the en-suite rooms and bright airy bedrooms with air con. All was as described and all linen, floors and surfaces very clean and well maintained. The pool and water is spotlessly clean and maintained regularly during the week, as is the gardening. The house has character due to its age and we loved the old fashioned shutters which kept downstairs cool. It is well equipped and the huge dining table is amazing for enjoying family meals.
The village ice cream parlour and bakery are a 20 minute walk and worth a visit.
The host contact and maintenance manager are super helpful and easy to contact with any questions and will drop in to take the bins out or resolve questions quickly and easily.
The house has a brochure which recommended some fabulous ice cream parlours, restaurants and supermarkets and trips out. We also went to Vinci near Lucca which we loved - gorgeous town and birthplace of Leonardo di Vinci.
Tip: if you rent a car and use it to go into Pisa or Florence or Lucca - research the vehicle free zones. There are big fines if you take a car into the wrong area - it’s best to park outside Lucca in the parcheggio gratuit (free parking) or in the blue parking bays which are a bit nearer the city walls but which cost a few Euros. For Florence/Pisa I would say park and walk in or better take a train or bus in from just outside the city.
We loved Lucca so much we returned several times and had a really great week. Thank you very much for a great and relaxing week by the pool!
