Wonderful Italian Villa
We were so impressed by Casa Maraviglia! The villa was as beautiful in person as it is on line. It is the perfect vacation spot just a quick drive into Lucca. The owners were responsive to e-mails and texts about questions we had about the area well in advance of our trip! We were given the name of a chef , Fabrizio who came to the villa to prepare a fabulous meal for our daughter’s birthday. The villa is clean, beautifully decorated and equipped with everything you need for a week away ! We had a car but there is a bus stop in front of the villa that our niece and her husband used to get in and out of Lucca. The train station was about a 10 minute drive away - easy access to many other cities in Italy Illaria provided us with an easy park tag and we downloaded the app which made parking in Lucca and other cities very easy - I can’t say enough about how great our stay was at Casa Maraviglia - Valeria and Ilaria went above and beyond to make sure we had the perfect vacation !! I would highly recommend staying here !

This stay was to celebrate our retirement. We had good friends and family join us to travel and visit the amazing country of Italy. This property was the perfect combination of rural retreat and close to Lucca and the train station. It was everything we hoped that it would be.

Fabulous Villa
We had a fantastic holiday. The villa was amazing. Very luxurious and ultra clean. Everything was there. The location was great too. Easy access to Lucca. The owner was in regular contact to make sure everything was ok. When the parasol wasn’t working, the problem was immediately taken care of. Absolutely a 5 star villa, would highly recommend and love to come back.

Beautiful property close to Lucca
Our family had a wonderful stay at Casa Maraviglia. The house is designed and decorated to the highest standard. Everything that we required for our stay was provided. The garden and swimming pool are beautiful and our daughters thoroughly enjoyed playing in the pool. The house was around 10 minutes from the lovely walled city of Lucca. Monte Carlo, a small hilltop village with stunning views and nice restaurants was around half an hour away. Valeria was a great host. We would highly recommend Casa Maraviglia as a luxurious base in Tuscany.

Perfect if you need calm and privacy
This is the perfect house for families. If you want to have big parties or jetset you better go to Forte dei Marmi. In casa Maraviglia you rest. Casa Maraviglia is a home you rent, perfect balance between private and practical home deco without too much private touch. Very very clean and practical house. With everything you need, and the little “plus” that makes the difference : a welcome set for the fridge, the kitchen and…. Bathroom! And the owners smile. Also very much privacy inside and outside. Perfetto!! Casa Maraviglia: Where you feel immediately at home ! High quality deco and material and they thought about all details. the house owners and their parents are a perfect team! Discrete and very very efficient. We highly recommend. You will NOT be disappointed.

Nothing but love for Lucca!
Lucca is a beautiful town and Casa Maraviglia was a great stay! It accommodates 6-8 people without difficulty. The house was beautiful and just as described. The host and her sister were easy to communicate with we definitely recommend this house. Don’t miss biking on the old wall of Lucca, one of the highlights of our trip! We are in love with this special place! Grazie Mille!

Elegant Comfort
We loved this well maintained and tranquil property. The house is beautifully decorated and professionally equipped for our enjoyment. ( 2 couples, late 50’s) We had chef Fabrizio, recommended by the host, attend and prepare a Tuscan meal that was excellent. It is a short 15 minute drive into Lucca where all amenities can be found. Our host Valeria was quick to answer any questions or concerns.

Outstanding
The pictures online are amazing, but staying in this property, the quality and finish is outstanding, I always like to stay in something that is as nice as my own place and this topped it. I have high standards and this property went well above those. It's so nice after travelling to enter a property that was clean and inviting. Valeria was helpful and an accommodating host all the way through from booking to leaving. We didn't do much travelling from the villa, however the location for site seeing in the Pisa area would be great if you did. I would highly recommend this property if you was visiting the area.

The location was amazing, we were able to easily get to Lucca, Pisa, Florence, the outlets, we even went up to Milan. The restaurants And locals in Lucca are welcoming and we had a great time everywhere we went. Highly, highly recommend staying here!

Ein Ferienhaus zum Wohlfühlen
Schon die Korrespondenz im Vorfeld war sehr angenehm. Nach einer sehr freundlichen Begrüßung durch Valerias Schwester wohnten wir in einem sehr gepflegten und sauberen Haus, in dem es wirklich an nichts fehlte. Wir haben ein paar wunderbare , entspannte Tage in der Nähe von Lucca verbracht, ein Ort, der uns besonders durch seine Stadtmauer beeindruckt hat. Wir können das Haus wärmstens empfehlen.

About the host

Your host

Host profile image
My name is Valeria Maraviglia, I’m an engineer based in Milan where I have been working for a multinational company for almost 8 years.
I was born and raised in a small island called Sardinia till I moved to Lucca with my family when I was 12. At that time I couldn’t imagine that would be the start of a nomad life moving around Italy (Milan, Bassano del Grappa, Lucca) and abroad (London, New York, Singapore). My passion for travelling and my work commitments got me to know beautiful destinations and mixed cultures.

It is said that our home mirrors ourselves. To me Home is not a place but a way of life.
A couple of years ago while living in Singapore I thought it would be nice to build my own place in the world, to have a shelter to return to that could show the hospitality and welcoming attitude I experienced through my travels.

I have been told that my surname in italian recalls something nice and important to remember. Therefore I called my home “casa Maraviglia”.

Why they chose this property

I hope you will appreciate the attention for details I put on setting up the house.
“Made in Italy” design, craftmanship and the attention for the lighting are some of the key concepts Casa Maraviglia has been built upon. Recyclable materials, energy saving appliances, the use of simple materials such as iron, leather , wood to recall Tuscany furniture design and the attention for details and accessories recalling Italian traditions (vinyl records of Italian singers, a proper espresso machine, Italian recipe books..) have been used to create a real Italian look and feel and surround you with a very special and welcoming atmosphere.
A great thank you to my Mum and Dad for all the support they gave me from the very beginning of the house building till the works finished in July 2018. It’s been 2 years of long and hard work but eventually it got all paid back.

A special thank you to my great friend Fabrizio who will help me manage casa Maraviglia and make your stay special.

I hope you will put the same love and care for whatever you find and have at your disposal in the house as I did while building it to make it special for you and for all the guests that will follow.

I wish you an enjoyable and pleasant stay at Casa Maraviglia.
Warm Regards,
Valeria
