About this property

Elegant Apartment in Villa with pool

Elegant and spacious indipendent apartment on the ground floor of a villa with swimming pool in the countryside of Lucca. The villa is located in a quiet and safe area just 3 km from the ancient city walls within easy reach by public transport are within walking distance of the residence. The international airport of Pisa Galileo Galilei is located about 25 km and you are just 20 km from the beaches of Versilia, 50 km from the beautiful Riviera di Levante, and as many from Florence. If you do it at the time of reservation request, you will get free use of bicycles for trips around freely. The apartment has two double bedrooms with the possibility of having two extra beds, two bathrooms, a spacious dining room, a fully equipped kitchen and a large lounge with fireplace and game room all furnished with taste and elegance.

From May to September you can also enjoy the large garden of over 2000 square meters (fenced) where you will find BBQ, outdoor dining tables, umbrellas, table tennis, hammock etc. and dip in the swimming pool with sun beds and zones' shadow. I live upstairs in the house and try to help you with any advice or need to spend a peaceful holiday you feel at home. We welcome your pets that will reside only in outdoor areas having more care. The parking spaces are available within the garden. Welcome to Roberto!

Mrs

We had a lovely time here. Roberto was very kind and helpful, phoning me before we left the UK. The apartment is charmingly old fashioned, with lots of family memorabilia and lovely antiques. The kitchen is well equipped and we were greeted with a bottle of wine, some fruit and some delicious biscuits. We loved eating outside - all under cover - and did so every lunchtime (Esselunga supermercato is 5 mins away). We couldn't eat after 5.30pm, because of the prevalence of mosquitos (and other biting insects) - my poor husband was very badly bitten, even though we took many precautions. The house itself was free of them thanks to screens and net curtains, but you couldn't leave the doors open as there were many flies. Going into Lucca to eat is fine though. The recycling and bin collection is quite confusing, take time to read it all! The beds were very firm, which suited me very well and although the covers were old, they were clean. We had a brand new TV, which was lovely, as we rather dreaded the old one in the photos and we cast our own programmes onto it. The Swimming pool was lovely, but the tiles got very slippery so be careful. Swimming later will mean more mozzie bites! There's also a table tennis table - such fun! Roberto was also very kind and drove us to Lucca a couple of times, which allowed us to drink. It's perfect for visits to Pisa and Florence, with Lucca being a fabulous place with everything you could need! Highly recommended.

September vacation.

The villa was spacious and the living room was very nice. Roberto was very helpful with local knowledge. There was some confusion over the swimming pool! On the listing it says the pool is available through September but Roberto told us the pool was closed from the 16th September. He did open it at our request. Unfortunately it did not look as good as the photos!!! Roberto made us feel very welcome.

Exactly as described and seen in the photos.

Roberto extremely friendly, welcoming and helpful. Responded quickly to our queries, and sent us google maps related to placees we wanted to visit, particularly good for parking near the leaning tower. Also recommended beaches and restaurants. We weren't so keen on the restaurant in Lucca, but really enjoyed the one in Montecarlo.

Wonderful, relaxing holiday. Great Villa, great host.

Roberto (and his mama) was a fantastic host. His villa is lovely and we had the most wonderful relaxing holiday with only the sound of birds to keep us company in the gardens. Roberto's advice on places to eat and wine to drink was great, we especially enjoyed Trattoria Da Giulio in Lucca and had 2 very enjoyable and inexpensive meals there. Try it! The area around the villa is very peaceful with a great little coffee shop and Pizza takeaway close by for quick snacks. Lucca is a lovely town to relax in and within easy reach of Florence, Pisa etc for day trips and site seeing. The villa is very comfortable with everything you need for a great holiday with Roberto being very helpful when you need it but otherwise he leaves you to enjoy your stay. We were very sad to leave at the end of our stay and would recommend this villa very highly to you. Grazie mille Roberto

sfeervolle vakantiewoning met heerlijk zwembad

Dit huis hebben we 24 uur vantevoren geboekt, omdat we voor een dichte deur stonden bij een andere vakantiewoning. Gelukkig was de sympathieke eigenaar Roberto heel flexibel en heette ons van harte welkom in zijn woning. Je huurt de benedenverdieping van het huis. De eigenaar woont zelf op de bovenverdieping, maar heeft een eigen ingang. Appartementen zijn gescheiden. Je merkt eigenlijk niet dat hij er ook woont. Het huis ademt een geweldige sfeer uit, heel stijlvol, niet oubollig, alsof je een halve eeuw terug gaat in de tijd. Het ziet er verzorgd uit. Het zwembad is echt heerlijk! Groot, schoon. Het diepe gedeelte is wel 2,5 meter diep. Het huis staat op een groot perceel. Het is er heel rustig, je hoort de krekels en de vogeltjes. Lucca ligt op zo'n 8 minuten rijden. Doordat het zo dichtbij is, zijn we er meerdere keren naar toe geweest, om zo de stad beter te leren kennen. We hebben ook een wandeling over de stadsmuren gemaakt. Ook is deze locatie een goede uitvalsbasis om de omgeving te bekijken, naar Pisa te gaan, en de zee ligt ook niet al te ver weg. Ook is er een grote goede supermarkt in de buurt (Essalunga). Het huis heeft geen airco, maar door 's nachts de ramen open te zetten, koelt het goed af. Er zitten horren voor de ramen. Overdag blijft het koel in huis als je de deuren dicht houdt. Het contact met de eigenaar was erg goed. Goed te bereiken via Whtatsapp. Het huis is echt een aanrader!

Live LUCCA

Fantastico! This villa and our ENTIRE EXPERIENCE living there in Lucca, was, without question, the most valuable, special, emotionally fulfilling trip of our lives! We both will cherish and remember this holiday forever and, quite frankly, can't wait to get back!! ROBERTO ❤️❤️, our host!! HE was the most valuable, special friend to us and absolutely the most significant factor in what made this vacation as fulfilling as it was! From checking in with us before our arrival so he could PICK US UP in PISA ( who does that!! XOXO), to trips to Essulunga for groceries and rides to the Wall made for seamless immersion into daily life there! We cherish memories of our evenings together with he and Marcella sharing 4 hour meals at places no visitors would otherwise discover!, gelato near where Marcella was born in darling City Center 80+ years ago!, talking together and learning so much! My Italian improved daily due to the patience and encouragement of this SPECIAL FAMILY!! THE HOUSE!! Words can not describe the joy of living, basically in a castle!! The DETAILS of this home are indescribable! MARBLE on marble! The decor and art and tapestries!! Museum pieces in our EVERYDAY life! Making pasta using the built-in rolling pin nestled in the kitchen table!! Feasts of fish JUST CAUGHT by Roberto and grilled on the magnificent outdoor BBQ!! What a life! WE ARE COMING BACK!! I can, truly, see this as a recurring vacation for us.. like every 2 years!( Or sooner if I can get the airfare!!).

Very welcoming host and lovely stay

Our host, Roberto, was extremely welcoming and we really enjoyed the very spacious and charming villa/apartment. Be sure to rent a car so that you can get around as you’ll have many wonderful places to visit within driving distance, such as the beautiful walled city of Lucca (10-15 minutes drive), the stunning Pisa (30-40 minutes drive) and incredible Firenze (45-60 minutes drive). We suggest that you bring very good walking shoes because you’ll want to stroll through these beautiful cities for the entire days to take in all the sites, café’s, shopping and gelaterie. In addition, there are many more things that we plan to see next time such as Cinque Terre, Bagni di Lucca, the beach, and much more. Roberto gave us great advice on places to see and visit while in Lucca. The apartment was very clean and featured beautifully maintained antiques for an added authentic Tuscan feel. The bed was very comfortable and we slept very well. The supermarket Esselunga that Roberto recommended is very big, well stocked, has very fresh food for sale, and everything you’ll need for your stay … just remember to weigh your fruits and vegetables in the produce section before you get to the cash… we learned the hard way ;) We highly recommend staying at this place to anyone who prefers a relaxing home away from home feel vs a crowded hotel. Our family is really grateful to have stayed here. Grazie mille Roberto for being a wonderful host!

Romantischer Aufenthalt im Traumgarten mit gepflegtem Pool und alt-italienischer Stil Innen

Wir hatten einen sehr schönen Aufenthalt bei Roberto in der Nähe von Lucca. Die italienische Villa mit einer sehr klassischen eher altmodischen italienischen Einrichtung und dem verwunschenen traumgarten ist definitiv etwas für Liebhaber! Die Kommunikation mit Roberto war mehr als optimal. Er antwortet immer sofort, ausführlich und gibt einem ein gutes Gefühl dabei. Die örtliche können wir auch mal gucken Nähe zu der wunderschönen Stadt Lucca war perfekt. Am glücklichsten war unser Hund über den Garten, der eingezäunt und ein spielparadies ist. Drinnen ist alles gepflegt und ordentlich. Aber einige schränke sind schwerfällig zu öffnen und insgesamt ist alles eher älter, aber gut brauchbar!!! Der Pool und die Tische und Stühle bieten hinreichend Raum für gesellige Abende oder ein Frühstück. Definitiv eine italien-pur Erfahrung für Liebhaber und Familien! Roberto ist ein toller verständnisvoller Mensch, der einem immer Privatsphäre lässt.

Interloqués !

L'hôte est sympatique, prévenant. Nous avons été bien accueillis. C'est grâce à la description qui suit que nous fuyions à l'aube pour visiter à fond la région. La maison de l'intérieur est conforme aux photos, mais attention elle sent le tabac froid, la litterie est hors d'age, les draps et serviettes propres, ménage fait. La maison est dans un petit village ouvrier à 6 km de Lucques, village qui devait vivre des usines de meunerie tout autour. la maison est d'ailleurs mitoyenne avec l'une d'entre-elles immense + de 30m de haut qui est abandonnée depuis 94 le "moulin Pedrini" en son temps la plus grande meunerie d'Europe. Les extérieurs ne sont pas réellement clos, si vous y aller avec un animal de compagnie le grillage rouillé et croule sous les ronces. La piscine est grande avec un petit plongeoir mais le dallage se délite, le liner est taché par le temps. Difficile de profiter des extérieurs pas de vue sauf le mur de + de 30m de haut de l'immense usine en bordure de la piscine. A cette époque il y a beaucoup de moustiques mais personne n'y peut rien et malheureusement pour nous des orages ont fait remonter le tout à l'égout certainement hors du temps lui aussi. Les voisins ont un pauvre chien attaché à une chaine qui aboie son malheur.

12 Tage Auszeit

Das Haus sieht zwar nicht mehr ganz so aus, wie auf den Fotos, die sind schon etwas älter, doch das machte uns nichts. Wir haben und sehr wohl und herzlich willkommen gefühlt bei Roberto. Trotzdem er auch im Haus wohnt, hatten wir den Pool und den Garten immer für uns und somit auch unsere Ruhe. Dass das Grundstück komplett umzäunt ist, war perfekt für unseren Hund. Unser Hund durfte frei im Garten laufen und auch in den Pool, was uns sehr gefallen hat. Zudem hat sich Roberto immer gefreut, wenn sich die beiden getroffen haben. Roberto war immer erreichbar für uns und konnte uns gute Tips zur Umgebung geben.

Großer Garten mit schönem Pool

Die Villa ist ein etwas in die Jahre gekommenes Schätzchen. Die Räume sind großzügig, der Garten sehr groß und abgeschlossen. Man kann sich wie zuhause fühlen. Der Pool ist groß und wurde insbesondere auch von den Kindern viel genutzt. Es gibt genügend Liege-und Sitzmöglichkeiten. Man kann sich gut erholen. Roberto als Vermieter ist sehr freundlich, immer erreichbar, gibt gute Tipps. Obwohl er mit im Haus wohnt, fühlt man sich nicht beobachtet und kann für sich sein. Da es in der Umgebung noch kleine Bäche gibt, gibt es leider auch Mücken. Mit Zitronella-Kerzen und Anti-Mücken-Spray auf der Haut kommt man aber ganz gut zurecht. Neben dem Haus ist ein altes Fabrikgebäude, was uns aber nicht gestört hat, da es größtenteils von hohen Bäumen verdeckt wird. Überhaupt sind die Pflanzen im Garten toll: hohe Bäume, Bananen, Bambus, Obstbäume, Kräuter etc. Die direkte Umgebung ist nicht so schön, aber man ist mit dem Auto schnell in Lucca, einer tollen Stadt, und auch ein großer Lebensmittelmarkt ist nur etwa 6 Autominuten entfernt. In Florenz ist man in etwa 1 Std., in Pisa in einer halben und in Volterra in etwa 1,5 h. Alles gut als Tagesausflugsziele zu erreichen, ebenso das Meer.

Rundherum ein Genuss

Wir verbrachten wunderbare 11 Tage in der Villa der Familie Vianello. Alles war wie beschrieben, die Abgeschiedenheit und die Abgeschlossenheit des Grundstücks waren ein Traum. Alles war angerichtet zum Wohlfühlen! Herzlichkeit hat uns sofort umfangen verbunden mit einem großen Maß an Hilfsbereitschaft, als wir es brauchten, z.B. als unser Auto in Strandnähe aufgebrochen wurde. Auch unser Hund hat einen Platz im Herzen des Vermieters gefunden, so dass wir gerne sehr gerne wieder kommen.

Peaceful and quiet, great place to relax and explore Tuscany

I've been to various places in Tuscany during my childhood and each time we stayed in a different villa, usually outside big cities in rather remote locations. Roberto's villa is great, because it offers the feeling of being a little bit outside and in calm environment (the whole estate is fenced, which was great for our dog!), while actually being only a few minutes away from the Lucca city centre, the supermarket or the Autostrada to close locations like Pisa. We enjoyed the pool, the garden and the rooms. In comparison to other villas I stayed in, the kitchen is extremely well equipped with a fridge, a freezer, an oven, a functioning gas stove, two sinks and even a microwave. The water in the bathrooms work fine. In general, there is a lot of space in the house. Since we've been two adults and a small dog, there was more than enough room . Roberto and his mother are great hosts. If you have a question, it will be answered in no time. They provided us with towels, access to a dishwasher and a washing machine (although we had no need to use either of them) and gave us great directional instructions before arriving and for finding the closest (and great!) supermarket. Since another user made a comment on the waste seperation system: If you are from Germany, you should feel very familiar with it. There are differences, but overall there are 4 different gargabe bins and even with no Italian language knowledge, noone should be overwhelmed with understanding the descriptions on the bin. Roberto also provided a complete English translation. Overall, we were very satisfied with our stay at Roberto's villa. We felt welcomed from day one till the last day of our stay. Grazie!

Peaceful and well situated

We had a wonderful 12 days in July at this house near Lucca. Roberto was great at giving us information about the property and the area before and during our stay and answered all of our questions. He was warm and welcoming, left us some information about the area and showed us how everything worked. The house is clean and decorated in antiques. The bedrooms are a good size with one full bathroom and one smaller bathroom, both of which work well (i.e. showers, water pressure, hot water etc.) The kitchen is a good size and fully equipped. The house has no AC, but it stays cool and opening the windows (with screens) at night cools the place right down in a few minutes so it wasn't really a problem. The property is exactly as shown in the pictures, surrounded by trees with lots of places to sit, read, eat or relax. It is very quiet, with lots of birds and a family of hedgehogs. The pool was clean and well maintained. It's easy to get in and out of and great to cool off at the end of the day. There's a bakery and very good pizza shop within a 5 minute walk. There is a restaurant at the end of the road, but it was closed for holidays but it looks like a nice option if you don't want to drive into town. There is a big grocery store about 10 minutes away. The house is well situated to explore the area. It is about 5-8 minutes from the walls of Lucca so easy to get in/out for dinners or exploring. Montecarlo is about 25 minutes away but absolutely a must visit to eat. The ferry/train to Cinque Terre is about an hour away in La Spezia. Pisa, beach, Florence etc. are all within easy reach. Roberto and his mother are wonderful hosts, the house is great and this is a great place to stay. Highly recommended.

Outside of the city

We could have had a better experience if we had our own car. We thought it would be easier to get around by bus and train but it was complicated. Didn’t know where to get train tickets and we had the wrong schedule. House was really nice but it wasn’t very clean and even though it seemed stocked they were missing simple items. There was no salad bowl, the wine opener didn’t work, a great pool but no beach towels. A complicated garbage system that said put in bags but there were no bags and no inside bins, very little toilet paper, no hand soap, only one towel for dishes, etc With broken English and no Italia communication was a bit challenging. When we asked for bags and for toilet paper we did get them. It just was frustrating that we had to ask for everything. We mostly just made do without. The thing is this was one of our more expensive spots that we stayed on our two week vacation. It is in a very industrial area. You have to travel a few miles for everything. So no walking to a little market to pick up something. We happened to be there during a heat wave so it was even more uncomfortable not to have screens on window and no fans. We dealt with a lot of bugs. It could be a great spot if it had better supplies, was cleaner, a bit more updated and know that you need a car to get around.

Super Unterkunft in der Toskana

Das Haus befindet sich in einem sehr ruhigen Wohnviertel von Lucca und trotzdem ist man sehr nah an allem. Es entspricht genau den Beschreibungen des Vermieters. Die Tage in dem Haus haben wir sehr genossen und haben in dem sehr großen Pool jeden Tag schwimmen können. Unser Vermieter hat es uns schon vorher ermöglicht den Pool zu nutzen da er normalerweise erst ab dem 15.06. geöffnet wird. Dafür sind wir ihm sehr dankbar. Von hier aus ist es der ideale Startpunkt für tolle Besichtigungen nach Lucca, Pisa, Florenz Strada di Olio od. Vino mit tollen Landschaften aber auch Besuche an den Stränden nahe Viareggio od. Massa. Hier sollten man aber Ausschau nach den Naturstränden halten, da die andern sehr überlaufen sind. Das Highlight ist aber die Freundlichkeit und Hilfsbereitschaft unseres Vermieters Roberto und seiner Mutter. Wir würden jederzeit wieder einen Urlaub buchen.

Perfect!

We had a wonderful stay in Roberto's home. He was always great about communication before and during our stay. The home and garden are beautiful and we had a special request for firewood and he arranged that without any problem. The bathrooms were very clean and comfortable and the kitchen had all of the utensils, pots, pans and dishes that we needed during our stay.
