Each apartment is individually equipped with an open plan living/kitchen/diner with good quality sofa bed.
Each also has a balcony.
This property is ideal for groups who want their own space, but who also want to spend time together outside in the garden and dining under the covered area by the brand new outdoor kitchen. The garden is perfect for al fresco living!

Good stay but not quite as expected
We have just returned from a week in Lucca. We had a lovely rine and particularly enjoyed the outside space which really make this rental. The pool was very welcome in the extreme heat and the garden space around the pool is great, with plenty of space to relax and dine. Always able to get shade too. It is 2 separate apartments which worked well as we were 2 families so it was nice to have our own space. The following areas were disappointing and not as expected or advertised - you are renting 2 2nd floor apartments within a villa, not the whole villa. The ground and first floor are occupied by the owner and their family. Whilst they dont use the pool and garden, they are always around and have a balcony that overlooks the pool and so it doesnt feel very private. There was also noise in the apartment from the children living downstairs. It feels like you are renting a room in somebody's house rather than renting a villa. If you want a private space, this is not for you. - the listing says the owners have their own entrance and parking but they don't and park inside the gates right infront of the pool. This made it more difficult getting our 2 cars in and out and again doesnt make it feel private. - the listing says there is a ping pong table in the garden but there isnt - there is a municipal dog pound on the same road so you do get a lot of dog barking, particularly in the evenings

Great property, with pool.
The property was perfect for my 9 people. Designed to be split into two separate apartments. The pool was the big hit. After hot days on tours, coming back to a pool was perfect. I would recommend a rental car. The house is 1.2 miles from Lucca.

We were picked up at the train station by our helpful host, and welcomed by his lovely wife on arrival at the property. Both ensured we were able to ask them anything. The apartments and outdoor areas are immaculate and well-maintained. Having two areas for 3 family groups was very helpful. There were spaces for us all to gather and also the opportunity for quieter spaces when needed. The apartment is well-equipped with appliances and cooking and serving utensils. The beds were very comfortable, large rooms and great bathrooms. The weather (and water) were still a little too cool for us to fully utilise the beautiful pool - but this did not stop a few of us from trying. The outside dining area was lovely. We hired bikes in Lucca for all 8 of us. This was a great option for us as we did not want to be driving. Thank you for your organisation, Lorraine. Thank you especially to Elaine and Sanai - you are kind and generous people. We loved getting to know you and your family.

SUPERB VILLA LOVELY LOCATION
The owners could not have been more charming or helpful. The villa is excellent and in a lovely location. A 20 minute walk into Lucca, or a 5 minute drive. The pool area is excellent with shade when needed. The accomodation is spacious and very comfortable. Highly recommended.

very nice stay
we were a group of 8 with 2 children 6 & 11, the apartments were very clean , the grounds were great and the pool was a great way to keep everyone happy. Just 10 minutes from Lucca, the only negative was you need your own transportation which we had so it was not an issue

Wonderful, peaceful, and beautiful!
The villa outside of Lucca was a perfect place for us. The rooms were clean and spacious. We were six in all and we rented both apartments on the top floor which means we had access to two kitchens and 4 bathrooms. We enjoyed everything about our stay, including the pool, trips to the local supermarket, collecting water from the fountain near the aqueduct. It was a wonderful place to come back to and relax after a long day of sightseeing. The owners were very friendly and hospitable, always willing to help answer any questions we had. We hope to be able to come back one day. This place is a great example of “La dolce vita”.

We had rented both apartments which were very nice and clean. However we had been shown around and everything explained and there was no mention of the downstairs communal room by the pool until we asked. He than said it was not ready but we could have it the next day and we feel we would not have had the use of it if we had not asked. Also the pool area was very nice but they have 3 cats which come around you and as our daughter was pregnant we were not happy with this, as this was not mentioned in advert. As the villa is a distance away from the walls of Lucca I would suggest you rent a car as taxis are very expensive and hard to come by.

Tolle Unterkunft in Lucca
Wir hatten eine schöne Zeit in Lucca. Wir hatten uns Fahrräder geliehen, damit war man in 10 min in der Innenstadt. Der Pool und der Außenbereich waren sehr gut. Die Kommunikation mit dem Vermieter war einfach und man hat unter der Woche nicht viel von ihm mit bekommen. Die Tischtennisplatte war aktuell kaputt und nicht verfügbar.

Nicht weiterzuempfehlen!
Keine Villa, nur 2 Wohnung im 2.Obergeschoss mit sehr viel Treppensteigen und Garten/Poolbenutzung, dort wohnt eine 3 Generationen Familie im EG und im 1.OG mit 3 kleinen Kindern, die sich alle sehr laut verhalten. Morgens um 8.30 war an Schlafen nicht mehr zu denken. Bis spät abends 11.30 waren die Kinder aktiv. Auch am Pool war es so laut zu hören, dass man nicht ungestört sein konnte. Nach 3 Tagen haben wir dies dem Vermieter mitgeteilt und es wurde nur kurzfristig besser. Der Vermieter war bei verschiedenen Gelegenheiten sehr hilfsbereit, was toll war. Der Eigentümer hat aber nicht gewusst, dass wir mit Hund kommen. Er selbst hat Katzen, was zu Konflikten geführt hat. Das sollte man bei Buchung mit Hund wissen! Außerdem wurde das Gartentor oftmals offen gelassen, ohne uns in Kenntnis zu setzen, so dass unser Hund das Grundstück verlassen konnte und es fast zum Unfall kam. In ca. 100m Entfernung befindet sich ein Tierheim, was Ganztägig zu Hundegebell geführt hat. In ca. 150/200m Entfernung ist ein sehr großes Klärwerk, was zu intensiver Geruchsbelästigung geführt hat. Kühlschrank im Garten war mit Ameisen bevölkert und ist bei Ankunft erstmal von uns gereinigt worden,kein Backofen vorhanden, dadurch konnten wir keine Pizza backen und unser Geburtstagskind nicht mit einem Kuchen überraschen Waschmaschine hat 2 Wochen nicht funktioniert, kein vorhanden

Mooi huis, fijn verblijf maar niet zoals beschreven staat
Het verblijf was heerlijk, de appartementen ruim, netjes en met goede inventaris. De ligging is verder van de stadsmuren af dan de tekst beloofd. Het is 15 tot 20 minuten met de auto en zeker 45 minuten lopen. In het donker is dat laatste geen pretje want de straten zijn donker. Handig om te weten dat er geen restaurants in de buurt zijn en er bijna geen taxi's zijn. Fietsverhuur is er veel maar allemaal binnen de stadsmuren. Afval scheiden is zeer belangrijk maar niet goed georganiseerd in het huis. De eigenaar checkt de hele dag door of alles wel goed is gescheiden tot vervelends toe. De eigenaar is ook best aanwezig. Het appartement is op de 2e verdieping (niet 1e zoals de tekst beschrijft) en de verdiepingen daaronder worden bewoond door de eigenaren. Zij scharrelen de hele dag rond. Vriendelijke mensen maar niet erg privé bij het zwembad.

Relaxing holiday
2 families: 4 adult and children aged 18,16,14,9. Wonderful host couple welcomed us and gave us thorough tour of apartment. Extra towels no problem. Dishwashing powder no problem. Laundry detergent no problem. So helpful and hospitable. Pool cleaned every morning. Fridge, sink, bbq and gas stove by pool an absolute bonus. Things to be aware of: the apartments are on the 2nd floor so no easy indoor/outdoor flow. Quite a few mosquitoes and flies by the pool. We decided to purchase mosquito nets at ikea and ‘wrap’ the pergola which made it so nice to eat dinner by the pool. We loved our week at the house and will recommend it to other families.
