Me and my friends had an amazing time in this beautiful villa. The bedrooms were all super nice, the kitchen well-functioning and the pool area a big enough for 20 people. Everything was clean and nice and the host was very available for questions and help. I can highly recommend this place. We only had issues with many wasps, but apprantly this was a local problem.
Traumhaft! Super Lage, großer Pool, nette Besitzer!

E stato tutto perfetto, la villa, le gite, le città vicine..
Siccome abbiamo portato il nostro cuoco privato, le colazioni al buffet e le cene erano esquisite. Grazie di tutto
Wir waren mit 23 Freunden für eine Woche in diesem Haus. Die Gastgeber waren unfassbar freundlich, das Haus ist ein absoluter Traum und die Landschaft traumhaft. Alle Gäste waren sehr begeistert und würden jederzeit wieder kommen. Ich kann es nur empfehlen!

This was a wonderful property for our large family reunion and holiday. The house is beautiful and really spacious, and the gardens and the pool area are relaxed, extensive and very attractive. All ages loved the really large main pool and the extra toddler pool was a real bonus. The local owners were readily available and helpful and we enjoyed two traditional evening meals cooked for us by Simonetta. As others have said, the access road is fairly steep and twisty. Best to arrive in the daylight!

Séjour dans un site idyllique, élegant et facile. La villa est magnifique, très bien équipée, le site est merveilleux avec des arbres majestueux, piscine immense et superbe.
Notre séjour a été très agréable pour 23 personnes sans aucune difficulté.
Nous avons passé un séjour de rêve
Nous sommes enchantés par notre semaine à la villa Lorenza, l'accueil très sympathique de Simonetta et Aldo très disponibles, le décor est fabuleux une superbe terrasse avec des arbres majestueux, une piscine digne des établissements les plus chics avec un mobilier autour de la piscine très élegant.
Les chambres sont décorées avec gout, tout est prévu dans les salles de bain serviettes blanches impeccables, des serviettes rouges pour la piscine douces et moelleuses.
Dans les salons du rez de chaussée, des toiles interessantes et agréables.
Une vaisselle abondante et raffinée
Un petit paradis sur terre. Nous étions 23 de la même famille tout a été facile
Merci à cette famille qui a su conserver ce patrimoine exceptionnel demeure du 18ème siècle au milieu d'un parc magnifique

La casa è stupenda, poi ogni camera ha il suo bagno, l'arredamento è bellissimo. In cucina ha di tutto, super pulito.
La proprietaria deliziosa, non volevamo andare via. Super raccomandato, poi molto vicino a Sangiminiano.

Traumvilla in Traumlandschaft! Alles war unglaublich schön und sehr besonders und exklusiv. Wir waren eine grosse Gruppe von Freunden und haben jede Minute genossen. Wir haben uns Lucca und Florenz angesehen (unglaublich schön), waren aber jedes Mal auch wieder froh, wenn wir in unserem tollen Haus entspannen konnten. Wenn es irgend geht sollte man sich das mal gönnen!

Beautiful villa in amazing surroundings
We had a wonderful holiday in Villa Lorenza. The rooms are tastefully decorated and all have their own bathroom, so our five families had enough privacy. We enjoyed the lunches and dinners at the big table in front of the house and loved the big garden and the swimmingpool that is conveniently located at just a 1-minute walk from the villa (so the noise of the children in the pool was never too loud for the adults sitting quietly in the garden). The family of the owner is really very friendly and reacted immediately both times when we needed help with things in the house. We fell in love with Villa Lorenza and will certainly come back!

We were 15 people that rented out Villa Lorenza - we really enjoyed our stay here. The location is BEAUTIFUL and the villa is exactly what we were looking for. The rooms were all huge with their own bathrooms. The pool area is magical, we spent hours sitting there. The villa is very remote, so you definatley need a car to get there and to get to the supermarket.
