Lovely Villa for a Tuscan Getaway
We very much enjoyed our stay at the villa - the check in process was very easy and the house exceeded our expectations. It was beautiful, spacious for a group of 10 and had all the amenities we needed. Both the house manager and the owner were always available - Paolo the owner was very lovely and if you stay you must visit his daughters restaurant in Monte Carlo (it was fantastic). Although the house is relatively near a motorway and on quite a busy road we didn't really feel like the affected our stay, and the train station being close was a bonus for people arriving! The town was relatively local and didn't have many tourists which we loved and there were some brilliant restaurants (La Loggia was a favourite). The only downsides of the stay were that the pool can be a little chilly (although we visited in May), make sure to pack plenty of mosquito repellent and also note that the bathrooms are a very Italian configuration (no stand up showers in the en suites) but honestly it didn't bother us too much as we were having such a lovely time! Don't expect complete luxury, it's definitely more on the side of rustic luxury but for the price it's amazing and we would recommend to anyone! One final thing is that if you are going - make sure to hire cars as taxis are very expensive but again you can get the train direct into Lucca in 15 mins but for other activities (wine tasting etc) taxis are not possible (unless you want to pay 200euros for a 5 min journey for the whole group!). Small things that could be addressed would be more pans for cooking (non-stick), pool towels, plastic cups for the pool and perhaps a WiFi extender as it was a little slower in some parts of the house but this is to be expected in older properties!
