"Beautiful 15th century villa , with manicured grounds . Restaurant was excellent, but rather expensive . Bfst was excellent. 4 km out of Lucca on Busy highway , so couldnt walk into town . Partially offset by a bus route appropriately 600 meters from property. Enjoyed walks in the countryside. Loved our stay overall !!"

"This is an amazing Villa located very convenient to Lucca, especially by train. The grounds are immaculate and include a pool, bathhouse, tended garden, and producing olive trees in the back. The front balcony offers a view of Pisa including the leaning tower. We were given the Music room, which is grand with high cooing and large balcony. Our only concern was the bathroom with the doorway being 6 foot tall and made of stone, and my 6 foot 5 inch tall head hitting it several times. Otherwise a fantastic visit."

"Stunning rooms. Food and service excellent. "

"Beautiful area. Beautiful property. Beautiful hosts. Beautiful stay!"

"Beautiful traditional house in small village ( be prepared to drive or walk 45 min get to Lucca centre). Fully equipped with caring owners. Has a great restaurant within walking distance, Antica Osteria. We would stay here again!"

"Giacomo has created a villa that manages to combine modern facilities/decoration with rustic charm. We were a group of 4 couples in our 50's, getting together as friends. The inside and outside spaces were excellently appointed. The views from the villa are simply stunning. Go with your eyes open, getting views like that means a 10/15 minute drive along a road/track that is fine but has to be taken carefully. But it's definitely worth it. Giacomo is an excellent host (ably supported by Rebecca). He is very responsive and quickly dealt with a couple of minor issues we had. "

"Grounds beautiful, pool fantastic, bedrooms and beds comfortable, house rustic (as expected), rooms layout downstairs disappointing. (Not enough communal space for a family of nine). Reps communication prompt but disappointing. Because of a disastrous choice of car hire company we needed taxis for nine every day. Rep failed to get us a taxi on our first and last day. We managed every day without any difficulties, indeed on our last day we asked the rep to book a taxi to the station for our flight. She was unable to do this but could get a private transfer for €180.to the airport. We managed to get a 2 taxi’s to the station for €45 plus €3:90 each from Lucca station to the airport. Be aware recycling in Italy is a nightmare. All car hire companies in Lucca is to be avoided, use taxis if you can and phone them yourself. Or at least read the small print if you’re hiring a car. Despite all the above the holiday was great, and the house is well aquipped."

"This place was perfect for what we were looking for, situated in the village of Santa Maria del Guidice. It was the perfect setting to experience the real Italy but so close to both Pisa and the outstanding beautiful Lucca which is a must visit. The hotel itself is situated at the top of the village perfectly placed for stunning views of the Tuscany rolling hills from both the breakfast/dining terrace and the infinity pool. We had a superior double room which was large and spacious and the decor was in keeping with the renaissance building. Probably not to everyone's taste but exactly what we were looking for, we didn't want to be in a corporate hotel that could have been anywhere in the world. We loved the quirky safe in the stone wall. The bed was great and the shower very powerful, towels and toiletries were changed and stocked each day, the shower gels etc were really nice! Breakfast was your typical continental, cold meats, cheeses, cereals, fruit etc along with various sweet treats as well and no complaints at all . We only had lunch twice at the hotel but it was good portions and very nice. If was a limited menu with Paninis, flat breads and a different pasta each day but definitely value for money. We only ate dinner once , the food was good but unfortunately the service let us down a bit on the night, we put this down to the large wedding also being catered for. Overall a fantastic stay.special mention for Daria , she was so helpful and always smiling! "
