Tranquil and beautiful villa and environment.

We all loved the villa and pool. Everything we needed was there. The views were amazing and outside cooking facilities were wonderful. We all properly relaxed and just enjoyed the holiday so much.

Perfect retreat holiday

The property was as described, although the pictures don’t do the place justice. If you want peace and quiet in a gorgeous setting then this place is perfect. It is situated down some tiny roads, so if you have a large car it can be a bit interesting getting there. The property isn’t overlooked & feels wonderfully remote. Enrico arrived every morning (very quietly & very cheerfully) to service the pool & sort the bins. We spent lots of time in the pool, reading, having bbq’s and just generally relaxing. Lucca is about a 20 min drive away & Florence & Pisa are worth the drive. Make sure you visit the Devil’s Bridge just up the road, north of Lucca. We also went on SUP’s in a canyon a few miles past the Devil’s Bridge. I have marked the location as a four only because you can’t walk to a shop. You will need to drive to go anywhere. If we head to Tuscany/Lucca again we would definitely book to stay here. If you do book here, ask for the What3Words location as it can be tricky to find. Thank you for a wonderful holiday Enrico.

Fantastisches Anwesen

Wo soll man anfangen, und wo soll man aufhören, wenn alles perfekt ist. Die Lage ist spektakulär mit Blick über das Tal von Luca. Die Ausstattung lässt nichts zu wünschen übrig. Und natürlich Enrico: unermüdlich kümmert er sich täglich um die gesamte Außenanlage. Und das sieht man. Wir hatten zwei fantastische Wochen bei permanent fast 40°, aber dank des perfekt gepflegten Pools jederzeitige Erfrischungsmöglichkeit. Ja, wir würden wiederkommen! Viele Grüße an Enrico und natürlich Michael!

Tolles Haus mit super Küchenausstattung

Wir wurden vom Eigentümer täglich umsorgt. Enrico hat morgens den Pool gereinigt und für Ordnung im Garten gesorgt. Er hat uns den Pizzaofen erklärt und wir haben diesen ausgiebig genutzt. Die Gegend war toll. Man findet im nächsten größeren Ort alles was man braucht (Supermarkt, Metzger etc.). Wir haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt, haben den Pool sehr viel genutzt und kommen gern wieder.
