About this property

Renaissance Villa with Pool in the Vineyards in Lucca

Villa Gattaiola is a charming 17th-century villa nestled on the outskirts of Lucca, offering an authentic Italian escape surrounded by olive trees and vineyards. Built by a noble Lucca family, this beautiful home sits atop a serene hill just 4 km from Lucca's historic city walls. A perfect blend of tradition and tranquility, it’s a family-friendly retreat where vintage charm and natural beauty come together to create an unforgettable experience.



Although not a luxury villa, Villa Gattaiola exudes warmth and character, making it an ideal spot for families seeking a peaceful getaway. The villa is enveloped in lush greenery, offering absolute quiet and privacy, with stunning views of the surrounding countryside. You’ll be immersed in the beauty of nature, with the gentle sounds of birds and the sight of ancient trees all around. There are also plenty of scenic walking and hiking trails nearby, perfect for outdoor enthusiasts.



The villa consists of two floors designed with comfort and simplicity in mind:



GROUND FLOOR: An original living room, a separate kitchen, and a spacious dining room with French windows that open to the garden and rolling hills. There are two comfortable double bedrooms, each with a king-size bed, and two bathrooms. The rooms are naturally cool, even in summer, and are not equipped with air conditioning, adding to the relaxed atmosphere. The fully-equipped kitchen includes everything needed for a homely stay, such as a microwave, coffee machine, toaster, stove, dishwasher, and a range of cooking utensils. Additional amenities like iron, ironing board, and Wi-Fi ensure convenience throughout your stay.



FIRST FLOOR: This floor features five bedrooms—three doubles and two twins—along with four bathrooms. A crib or small bed for a child is available upon request. Please note that one of the twin rooms does not have air conditioning, but the villa’s overall cool climate ensures a comfortable stay.



EXTERNAL AREA: The villa’s lush garden encircles the house, offering a peaceful outdoor retreat. Enjoy breakfast or dinner al fresco under the shade of ancient trees, or relax in a charming corner just outside the dining room with white chairs and a small table, perfect for unwinding with a book or taking in the panoramic views.



The villa also boasts a well-maintained swimming pool (14x7 meters) that’s ideal for families, especially children, with a depth of 1.5 meters. The pool area is equipped with lounge chairs, a gazebo, a table, and a cold/hot shower, along with a toilet and beach towels provided for your convenience.



Villa Gattaiola is a welcoming, informal home perfect for family retreats, where you can enjoy the quiet of the countryside and the charm of the past. Just 5 minutes from Lucca city centre as well as restaurants and supermarkets, this peaceful corner of paradise is ready to make your family holiday truly memorable.

We had a beautiful 10 day stay at Villa Gattaiola. Monica was super helpful.We were a group of 11 adults and one baby, the villa was perfect for us. Not too far from Lucca walls, easy to get to from Pisa airport.The villa is cool in the evenings, the showers worked perfectly, the pool is a fabulous area and we would highly recommend. Thank you.

Lovely house

Pool was cleaned to remove leaves - small thing but made the incredible pool have even more of an impact! It’s also heated so really lovely if it’s not super hot outside. Generally a very nice space and would book again!
Response from VrboOwner on 15 June 2024
Dear Katie, Thank you for your review! We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed the pool and appreciated the attention to detail in keeping it clean and free of leaves. The pool (not heated) is indeed a wonderful feature. We're happy you found the space very nice and are considering booking again. We look forward to welcoming you back for another enjoyable stay! A presto!

Magical Stay in Lucca

Beautiful home in Lucca! Wifi was sporadic and some of the showers had poor pressure/temperature control, but that is to be expected with a historic villa like this. It was a beautiful space for my family!!

Long weekend in Tuscany

Location, gardens, spacious bedroom and good recommendation for a cook. Although we were happy with the villa, the web site photos indicated a much brighter interior then actual.
Response from VrboOwner on 30 May 2022
Thank you for your kind comments. We are happy that you appreciated the property. We are sorry that you didn't find the villa interiors so bright as the photos. May have this been depending on the weather? Of course in the summer months it looks much brighter. We hope anyway that you will visit us again!

Nice Typical House

Very nice typical Tuscan accommodation. We loved the garden, the pool, the interior design of the house which was kept as close to the original from the XVII-th century. Monica, the manager, was also very nice and helpful.

A GOOD STAY

Good and clear communication and explanations by the host. With good weather, the property is amazing withwithout children. It is extremely large (but well-protected by gates) allowing even safe hide and seek playing in the gardens, without a risk of being found too quickly. The swimming pool was very clean and strongly invited for a swim. Overall, very good

Lucca Vacation

Ours day in Luca was overall very nice. We loved the city within the walls. A few things that would’ve made this trip better at the Villa would have been for us to know that we needed to bring items with us for our stay. The mosquitoes were awful outside and it would’ve been nice to know that we needed UGG spray before we got there. Also, there were not enough supplies for us during our trip. Only one garbage bag, no paper towels, no toilet paper or items necessary for the kitchen.

Thank you for sharing your comments. We appreciate it as feed backs from our guests help us doing always better. The villas are self-catering and therefore basic supplies are provided for the arrival, not for the whole stay, but we are always also available to help and assist our guests during their stay so if you had asked for more toilet paper or other supplies we would have provided them to you. Mosquito repellents are usually also provided and you can find spray and other products in any local supermarket. We hope to have another chance for better assisting you on a future occasion in order to ensure you a perfect stay.

A True Tuscan Experience

The villa is beautiful and very spacious on a large property, surrounded by an olive orchard. The pool is amazing with incredible views of the mountains in the distance. Make sure to visit the winery that is only a 5 minute walk away! The town of Lucca is great - keep in mind you will need a car to get there, or book transportation. Our contact was helpful in answering any questions. The villa is over 200 yrs old, so don't expect modern bathrooms etc, but that is part of the experience. Only minor complaint is that they only provide enough dish soap, toilet paper, dishwasher soap etc. to start and I think more should be provided for the entire visit. Note that there is a big set of stairs (about 25 steps) to get upstairs that may be a challenge for elderly guests or others. 2 bedrooms are on the main floor. I would highly recommend this villa.

Dear Joe, Thank you for capturing the essence of your stay at the villa! The beauty of the spacious property, with its olive orchard and pool framed by mountain views, sounds like the perfect escape. It’s fantastic that you had the chance to visit the nearby winery—a delightful way to complete the experience! We’re glad our team could be of help, and it’s true that the villa’s historic charm includes some traditional features, making it a unique blend of elegance and character. Thank you as well for your feedback on amenities; we’ll consider this for future stays to ensure every guest’s experience is seamless. The note about stairs is also helpful for future travelers. We’re thrilled you enjoyed your time and dearly appreciate your recommendation—it was a pleasure hosting you, and we look forward to welcoming you back! A Presto!

Lovely viola outside Lucca

The villa is semi detached which we were surprised at , however the other part of the villa did not appear occupied , it looked somewhat delapidated. The part we stayed in was beautifully furnished . Majority of the bedrooms were of a good size . The bathrooms were somewhat disappointing and the showers were haphazard as could not all be used at the same time - in fact worked best when used one at a time . There were many items lacking in the kitchen which was small in relation to how many the villa slept - a small bbq also which was disappointing . The gardens although vast were not maintained particularly well and needed some TLC ( mowing / weeding etc ) the pool was lovely and there were enough sunbeds . We enjoyed our stay but felt that a little more attention to small details would have better reflected the price - eg - only 2 teatowels, no duvet covers just a sheet , but these are minor and easily rectified . All in all a lovely stay .

Dear Fiona, Thank you so much for sharing your feedback following your recent stay at our villa. We’re delighted that you found the villa beautifully furnished and enjoyed the pool and sunbeds.

We regret that some aspects of the villa did not fully meet your expectations. Your feedback is invaluable, and we will carefully review the issues you mentioned to improve the amenities and better accommodate our visitors. Our goal is to provide a comfortable and enjoyable experience for all our guests, and we apologize if certain details detracted from your stay.

Lucca Villa

My family of 10 (2 grandparents, 4 adults, 4 children) all had a wonderful time at this property! Monica (the property manager) was excellent to work with - very responsive and helpful. The space is incredible, offering a really nice layout and a nice master on the first floor that was nice for my parents (73, 75) and plenty of space for the kids. Each room was incredibly comfortable and all but one bedroom upstairs had an AC splitter. The pool was even more beautiful then the pictures! We did lose the hot water on the 2nd floor one evening and someone was at the house by 10am fixing it. They were so kind and I was so impressed by how quickly they resolved it. Monica also recommended a few chef's that new the space well and did an amazing job. I especially enjoyed chef Alice (i cannot stress how much we enjoyed her cooking!!!) so if you have a large group, i would definitely recommend it! One note that maybe should be mentioned at check in. There are two places in the Lucca area that have the exact same address according to GPS so a few times taxis drove us all over the place!! When ordering a cab, you definitley need to say GATTAIOLA along with the address. Also, the best app to get a taxi is appTaxi. Everytime we tried to call for a taxi - there was no answer. Again, I cannot express how much we loved this property and hope to come back again!

Lucca stay

Villa Gattaiola is a rustic Villa in a beautiful setting in the hills above Lucca. It is authentic! We enjoyed the "no neighbors" aspect. Access to town was easy. The pool was a lovely place to relax in the afternoon after a long hot day of sightseeing. The downstairs bedrooms have no AC so the guests there were a little uncomfortable at night and one was very allergic to mosquitoe bites so they couldn't open the windows with no screens. Temperatures were in the high 90's each day so a stay there in cooler weather would be nice. We had some difficulty with spotty WiFi. The upstairs had loss of hot water for a day but the management promptly fixed it. Overall, it was a comfortable stay. We did day trips everyday and ate out most meals. It's a good value and has a lot of character if you're not looking for a plush resort. Plenty of spacious rooms for our group of 9.

Amazing Villa

Amazing villa, very private. Pool area is amazing. Sat out every night watching the fireflies. Great service from Maria who helped us sort transfers when ours let us down. Even came to the villa at 2.30 a.m. to make sure we got away ok. Kitchen well equipped, although we had BBQ s most nights. Watch out for the mosquitos, they did bite a bit. Would recommend taking citronella incense sticks for sitting out at night. Beware taxis/ pizza delivery find it hard to get there.
