Idyllic stay for special birthday
Villa Medea was the perfect location for our celebration! As a group of 9 of mixed ages it was a great spot. The pool was fabulous, lots of space to all be around it at the same time. The outside dining area was perfect for diners all together. Alice, the caterer recommended to us by the villa manager, could not have been more helpful and her dinners were superb!

Amazing memories here!
We just came home from the most amazing week in this villa. We had 5 families stay and had plenty of room. Everything was perfect. The Villa, the location, the amenities. Martina our host was so accommodating and helped us to arrange some unforgettable experiences. I highly recommend chef Alice for a private dinner and Chef Francesca for the cooking class in the villa. Martina was always available and checked in frequently. I cannot wait to come back to this beautiful place. Thank you for a week we will never forget!

Great stay!
Villa was awesome and exactly as described. Our Villa manager Martina was terrific and helped make our stay a great one. She was always available when we asked a question. Accommodations were great and we loved the grounds and pool. Everyone had a great rime. The only suggestion I'd make is to inform people that taxi service isn't the best and that arranging transportation ahead of time is recommended. No other suggestions.

Another wonderful stay
This was our second 2 week stay at Villa Medea. This visit was as good if not better than our first stay. It felt like home when we walked in. The grounds are beautiful and so relaxing. And, love relaxing by the pool! There were 9 of us the first week and 12 the second. We never felt crowded. Everyone did their own thing during the day and then gathered for cocktails and dinner together. And, we love being able to have all of us having dinner together at one table either inside or outside. Chef Alice- the Villa chef- is as wonderful as always. She cooked for us 3 times this visit. We've found it's great to have her prepare dinner for us, especially the first night of our arrival. No one is ready to cook for the group when they first arrive. Stefania, the villa manager, was so responsive and helpful. We couldn't ask for a better vacation with our friends. We hope to return again... and enjoy this most relaxing beautiful Villa again....

Family Staycation-3 Weeks
Excellent property. Spacious, clean rooms in a centuries old villa. Updates to the villa were top-notch, preserving the charm of the original house. Pictures of the property gave an accurate impression. Fully equipped kitchen. Beautifully landscaped property with an outdoor kitchen with 2 stone fireplaces which we used to make some unforgettable Bistecca Fiorentina, purchased at the local butcher. 10 minutes walk to bus. 20 minutes to Lucca. 5 minutes drive to village with a great trattoria, butcher, and excellent pizzeria. Villa manager was very responsive to minor maintenance issues. No disappointments with this property that I highly recommend.

Glorious weeks at Villa Medea
We had 2 glorious weeks at Villa Medea celebrating 3 milestone birthdays, two 60th and one 75th. Beautiful charming 10 bedroom villa. The whole Villa is Beautifully decorated. Kitchen is Well equipped with 2 refrigerators. Has outdoor grill and stove by the pool. We were a big group of family and friends and everyone was comfortably situated in each bedroom. The Villa’s location is perfect. Close to numerous towns like Lucca, Pisa and Florence to name a few. Our Villa Host Maria Pia was an absolute gem!! She did her very best to accommodate all our requests and was very helpful to our needs. We had a scrumptious, authentic Tuscan Birthday dinner catered by the resident Villa Chef, Alice Dami. She made sure the table settings were done perfectly and beautifully. The appetizers and dinner were both delicious. Chef Alice and her assistants were very attentive. There was just 2 minor incidents: The trash collection in Italy are pretty strict. We did as best we could following the rule guides in the Villa guest book. It was a little confusing when we thought we were following it correctly but then the trash was not being picked up. We contacted Maria Pia and she was helpful in sending someone to collect the trash. We also had an insect situation in one of the rooms that had an outdoor patio. Because of the change of weather, when it gets cool some insects find their way into the warmth of the bedroom. We understand it’s part of nature. We contacted Maria Pia again and she was quick to have someone spray the room and gave us extra cans if needed. Overall we loved our stay at Villa Medea and highly recommend a visit. Grazie Mille !! Brian Dempsey and Ana Castro (Traduzione di Google) Abbiamo trascorso 2 settimane gloriose a Villa Medea festeggiando 3 compleanni importanti, due del 60esimo e uno del 75esimo. Bella affascinante villa con 10 camere da letto. L'intera Villa è splendidamente decorata. La cucina è ben attrezzata con 2 frigoriferi. Dispone di grill all'aperto e fornelli a bordo piscina. Eravamo un grande gruppo di famiglia e amici e tutti erano comodamente situati in ogni camera da letto. La posizione della Villa è perfetta. Vicino a numerose città come Lucca, Pisa e Firenze solo per citarne alcune. La nostra Villa Host Maria Pia era un vero gioiello!! Ha fatto del suo meglio per soddisfare tutte le nostre richieste ed è stata molto disponibile per le nostre esigenze

Absolutely perfect!
We spent 2 weeks here with friends and couldn't have asked for more! The outdoor spaces were perfect for our group. From spending afternoons by the pool by the olive trees...to being able to eat dinner outside. And we enjoyed a couple of dinners inside at the dining room. We had Alice cook dinner for us the first night as we knew we wouldn't want to cook. We enjoyed it so much we had her come the next Saturday night as well. Her food was spectacular! We did a day trip to Florence via train. And spent several days in the walled city of Lucca. We're trying to figure out when we can return to Villa Medea1

Super ausgestattete Villa
Wir haben als Großfamilie mit 19 Personen eine wunderschöne Woche in der Villa verbracht. Sehr gut ausgestattete Villa, wo vom Olivenöl bis zum Toilettenpapier alles vorhanden war, 2 Geschirrspüler, großer Pool, wunderschöner Olivengarten. Die Lage ist nicht optimal, man muss 8 km zum Supermarkt fahren, aber das Anwesen ist sehr privat und nur zu empfehlen!

Beautiful, spacious with a great view
We had a great time. Great view, big and beautiful spaces both in and out, lovely pool, well-equipped kitchen. The Hayloft was great for the part of the family with babies...We were 20 + six month old baby and it felt spacious. We traveled to Lucca a few times, strolling was nice although very crowded, bicycling on the walls is very recommended. Some toys and games could be nice to have both in-house, outside, and for the pool. (Ball, frisbee, etc.) The information and recommendations for food stores were not clear enough. A floor plan can help plan ahead who stays where.

Beautiful Tuscan villa
My family, made up of 7 adults, one grandchild and a babysitter, spent 10 days at this beautiful Tuscan villa in July. The villa is a 10 minute drive from Lucca in the Tuscan hills. It is an hour from Florence, and a half hour from the beach, and other wonderful . day trips, including Cinque Terre, which were all great day trips that we took. The villa itself is a large, gracious and beautifully built 16th century home. The bedrooms are large with many of them ensuite. Two of the bedrooms are in a house at the far side of the property, which we did not use. The layout worked well for our group. Cristine who managed the property was a pleasure to deal with. as was Stephanie, who came every day to help clean the house and help with the garbage etc. While the villa has a beautiful view of the countryside, it backs on to a courtyard with other houses. This did not, however, detract from the countryside setting of the villa. It is beautifully decorated, with comfortable furniture, inside and outside of the house. and the bathrooms are newly renovated. The beds are comfortable with high end linen and plenty of closet space in each room. There are many super markets nearby that have fresh fish, meat, and produce, as well as a delicious bakeries and a pharmacy for all of your needs. The only disappointment, based on the description of the house, is that the kitchen has not been newly renovated. Given our disappointment, the managers of the property did purchase new kitchen gadgets, as well as a clothes dryer for the property. The kitchen is functional but not a newly upgraded kitchen with high end appliances as we had expected and the only reason we have given the villa a four star as opposed to 5 star rating. The managers did everything they could to make our stay comfortable, and were very responsive to our needs, including immediately buying a new pool umbrella to replace the broken one. I would highly recommend the villa for a large family holiday or a group of friends.
