Villa Rosalena 4 bed with stunning river views, splash pool,garden, walk to town

The villa offers the rare and sought after combination of a large, elegant villa with stunning river views and garden with pool yet within easy walking distance of a beautiful historic spa town in northern Tuscany, with a bar and restaurant just 5 minutes away on foot.

The villa and garden are enclosed providing a a safe environment from which to explore the stunning scenery and nature around Bagni di Lucca.

Strong, free wi-fi throughout the villa.

Easy access to public transport mean that it's possible to leave the car behind and make day trips by bus or train.

The views are breathtaking, looking down on the river below. The loggia with its three terracotta arches is the perfect spot to relaxi with friends and family and a glass of Tuscan wine.

The splash pool is ideal to cool off in on a hot summers day and the terraced gardens provide for relaxing under the Tuscan sun or dining al fresco with is a traditional chimney barbecue.

The accommodation is the whole top floor of the villa and has 4 large double bedrooms all with ensuite shower room, kitchen, lounge area with open fire place, another living/dining room, plus of course the loggia with its terracotta arches, stunning views and further seating.

Bedrooms are made up with high quality white cotton bedlinen and towels. Pool towels are provided. Cleanliness is also very important to us and we ensure that the property is cleaned to the highest standard.

As many of the bedrooms are large it is possible to make rooms up with extra beds or to make some rooms with twin single beds instead of double beds. We aim to be flexible and we will try to arrange the rooms to suit your groups needs. Please contact us to discuss your ideal sleeping arrangements.

The villa is very well equipped with everything you need for your holiday: guidebooks, maps and local information, tv with HDMI lead/Chromecast and various board games.

A welcome basket is provided with local specialities, Tuscan wines, and some basics to ensure a stress free start to your holiday.

The villa is reached by a series of steps and is not suitable for those with mobility difficulties.

The accommodation is an historic Tuscan villa making it ideal for larger families or groups of friends.

Lovely property ideal for group of friends or family
We rented the home for a family holiday and ideal to have 4 rooms each with bathroom. The host was excellent and provided tips on where to eat and explore. Nice pool and BBQ areas. The property has a large indoor terrace with views of the river and valley. This is a quiet little town but with good train link nearby to travel more widely although a car is a bonus for shopping etc. The property does have a lot of steps so not for anyone unstable or elderly. Overall we loved our week and would recommend.

The villa was wonderful and very spacious
We had a great experience at Villa rosalena and our host Rod was simply delightful, kind and helpful always. There are many stairs to get to villa. But worth it when you arrive. I would highly recommend this stay. And thank you Rod for making our girls trip perfect.

Fantastic!
Fantastic break in a beautiful house. The rooms are spacious and light and is such a great place to relax either on the terrace, by the pool or in the garden. Rod our host was so accommodating and friendly. The welcome pack was very generous and full of useful and gorgeous local fayre. Loads of local knowledge and helpful advice too. We would definitely recommended staying and would love to rebook. There are great local restaurants with walking distance, beautiful views and lots to do. The river is great to wander in and Pisa is an hour or so by train. Thank you again Rod!

A beautiful property with loads of character and charm.
This was a super place to stay. With sun deck, plunge pool and beautiful loggia, all overlooking the delightful river, it was difficult to drag ourselves away. But the charming villages and the proximity to Lucca and Pisa made day trips well worth it. There is a great BBQ area if you weren't in the mood for eating out, but also many quality restaurants and trattorias. Our hosts made our trip even better providing useful local knowledge and information. Rod was on hand for any questions or emergencies(we broke a shelf!) but we never felt that he was intruding. We cannot recommend this villa highly enough.

Lovely views, overlooking beautiful villas, interesting buildings and the river Valley.
Rod met us as we arrived late and made sure we got installed safely and easily. The wine and food set out for our welcome was really appreciated and a nice touch. Villa Rosalena is spacious and clean and has many interesting features. All the mod cons, and every bedroom an ensuite. It was very cosy and we'll miss waking to the beautiful vistas. Really good spot to explore this part of Tuscany. Make sure you take time to walk in both directions from the villa because there's lots of places nearby worth a look.

Four beautiful days in late December
We had four wonderful days in this beautiful house in Bagni di Lucca. The apartment was spacious and charming and we lacked nothing. The location is great and the view of the river valley magnificent. The host was very helpful (and quick in responding) in all communication throughout. We warmly recommend this place!

Hospitality and environment
We booked the villa with three friends and had a marvellous time. Everything worked very well at the villa , the view was breathtaking by day and night. Even the weather was in our favour. We did many trips to other cities and profited from Ron’s tips on dinner locations.

Séjour très agréable
Le gîte correspond à l'annonce, bien tenu et spacieux. Le patio est très agréable, on a toujours un peu d'air même quand il fait chaud et la vue est magnifique. La piscine est spacieuse pour 4 personnes. Les commerces sont proches, il y a même un resto proche absent de Google Map super bon. Un petit passage par les termes vous détendra et je vous conseille également la ballade proposée par le propriétaire dont l'accueil a été parfait et les bons plans parfaits.

Tolles Toskana-Erlebnis
Wir hatten einen wundervollen Aufenthalt in der Villa Rosalena. Die Villa bietet ausreichend Platz für zwei Familien. Die Zimmer sind großzügig und mit eigenem Bad. Das ist sicherlich ein Highlight. Handtücher in ausreichender Anzahl inkl. für den Pool werden bereit gestellt. Das Ambiente ist eher rustikal und einfach gehalten. Daraus ergibt sich aber ein stimmiges Gesamtkonzept. Trotz kleinerer Küche, kann man für viele Leute kochen, da alles Nötige vorhanden ist. Ein besonderes Highlight ist die überdachte Terrasse von der man einen herrlichen Blick auf Bagni di Lucca hat und auf der man auch bei regnerischen Stunden gemütlich sitzen kann. Insgesamt ist das ganze Grundstück sehr liebevoll angelegt. Überall gibt es schöne Sitzplätze. Hervorzuheben ist auch der Grillplatz unter dem Quittenbaum. Dort kann man sehr schön sitzen und laue Sommerabende verbringen (Mückenschutz nicht vergessen). Auch das Pooldeck ist schön angelegt mit einem tollen Blick auf die Berge. Auch wenn die Liegestühle und die Pooltreppe schon bessere Tage gesehen haben. Der Pool selbst ist aber super. Hinweis: Das Grundstück ist aufgrund der Hanglage und der vielen Treppen eher nicht für Kleinstkinder geeignet, da diese dort nicht gefahrlos herum rennen können. Ab Grundschulalter sollte es aber kein Thema sein. Für das Einkaufen und auch für Touren in die Umgebung sollte man sich darauf einrichten, dass man aufgrund der Infrastruktur auch für verhältnismäßig kurze Strecken länger unterwegs sein kann (50km Strand -> ca. 1Std). Hervorzuheben ist die tolle Betreuung durch den Gastgeber Rod. Er wohnt auf dem Grundstück, trotzdem hat man eine optimale Privatsphäre. Wann immer man ihn braucht ist er persönlich oder per WhatsApp erreichbar und gibt umgehend Rückmeldung auf alle Fragen. Darüber hinaus hat immer noch einen tollen Tipp. Ein vergessenes Ladegerät wurde unkompliziert an uns geschickt. Fazit: Unser Aufenthalt in Bagni di Lucca bot uns ein herrliches Toskana-Erlebnis bei optimalen Preis-/Leistungsverhältnis.

Really nice house and wonderful area
The whole area was a pleasant Tuscany surprise and we will come back to investigate more. The house is wonderfully situated with a terrific view of the river, mountains and the city. Rooms are large and kitchen is new and efficient. The beautiful view uphill does come with many stairs, which is definitively charming, but might be a challenge for some senior visitors. Rod is a really nice and very helpful host and we enjoyed our stay tremendously. PS: Try the recommended bathing place in the Lima river and also the activities in the Canyon Park.

Kurzurlaub
Die kleine Stadt ist sehr "italienisch". Der Ausblick von der Terasse aus ist nicht zu überbieten. Die Eigentümer sind sehr freundlich, hilsfbereit. Uns hat nichts gefehlt. Die Appartments sind nur für Leute mit gute Konditions zu empfehlen, da man über mehrere Stufen das Domiziel erreichen kann. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Vielen Dank.
