Giacomo was a great host who was there to well is to the property when we arrived. He was on hand if we needed anything and bought us fresh fruit from his garden several times which was delicious. The villa had everything we needed and the pool was great. Location wise, it was a 10 minute car journey to Lucca which we visited several times. There are several restaurants close to the villa including Eva which did amazing ice creams. We really enjoyed our time in Tuscany and the villa.

Love this place!

Great location, close to Lucca but not inside the city so it's quiet! Short 15 min taxi. Beautiful property! Host has a great pizza, beer and gelato place near by, called Pilato, that's excellent! Will definitely stay here again next time I'm in Lucca! Host treated us like family! Grazie mille Giacomo!!

Great family home away from home!!

Staying at Giacomo’s was everything we had hoped for. Perfect family home with lots of space, quiet, close to amenities, easy to navigate around area. Giacomo was an incredible host, bringing by fresh fruit from the garden, checking-in to see if everything was going alright, responded quickly to any questions. He even went out of his way to pay a parking ticket we got, very friendly and would highly recommend staying in his home!

A great place to stay

Giacomo is a great host, he helped us in every possible way without being intrusive. We loved the garden overflowing with plants and trees, and the nice view over the mountains, from the huge swimming pool. The house is big, super clean and well equipped, the only thing missing is a TV screen. We will sure come back in the future, thank you!

Top location, we enjoyed it!

We really enjoyed our two weeks in the Villa Cortilla. The house was clean and as described. Even we found a dishwasher which was not in the description. Thank you Giacomo for installing it! The pool was a great pleasure and you don’t need to take care of it because Giacomo does it. If you have a question or you need anything just contact him. We would love to come back.

Fabulous Villa - Perfect for relaxation and fun!

My husband, two grown up children and partners went away for a long week. The criteria was three bedrooms, three bathrooms, a swimming pool and to have peace, relaxation and fun! This villa was perfect in every way. Our Host Giacomo could not have been more helpful. He met us when we got to the Villa, showed us around, was at the other end of the phone if we needed him. Organised a wine tour that was fabulous and provided us with fresh lemons, some home made liquer and biscotti biscuits to accompany them. We would highly recommend this villa. It is a short walk away from restaurants, Osterias and bars yet remaining in a quiet relaxing area of Marlia. Everyone enjoyed it and we would love to come again at some point in the future. Thank you Giacomo for making our stay so welcoming!

Lose to Lucca

The home truly has that feel of what an Italian villa is like. The 3 bedrooms were really large and the two upstairs both had private baths. The living space inside was limited, but most of the time we were off exploring anyway. The yard was nice with lots of fruit trees. The pool was beautiful and the host kept it very clean. Onsite parking was a plus. Our host Giacomo was very quick to respond and went out of his way to help us out with whatever we asked. He delivered fresh fruit to us picked from his yard next door. The instructions for appliances and recycling were all very clear and his recommendations for restaurants were great! He actually owns a Restaurant right down the road that we went to 3 times! Best pizza and even gluten free pizza of any we had in Italy! Pilato Pinsa Birra e Gelato, you must try it! The location is good if you plan to spend time in Lucca. It’s only an hour from Florence and about an hour+ from Cinque terre, another must see area.

Family-Friendly Gem in Capannori – Perfect for Exploring Lucca and Tuscany (June 2025 Stay)

We stayed at this beautiful property in Capannori in June 2025 as a family of five — two adults and three children aged 10 to 14. The house exceeded our expectations in every way. It was spotlessly clean, well-equipped, and very functional for a family holiday.The children loved having their own room upstairs. We spent countless hours by the pool, which was a highlight of our stay (it seemed to magically clean itself overnight ). The garden area and outdoor seating made it easy to relax and enjoy meals outside.Although the owner lives next door, we never felt our privacy was compromised. In fact, it was reassuring to know they were nearby if there was any problems.The location was perfect for exploring the Lucca region, yet peaceful and quiet in the evenings. We highly recommend! We would definitely love to return!What We Did During Our Week (A Car was essential)Lucca : Strolling through charming streets, shopping, visiting Palazzo Pfanner and its lovely garden. Tip! Park Mazzini inside the city walls was very convenient.Montecarlo village & fortress: Beautiful views and a charming atmosphere.Riomaggiore, Cinque Terre: Scenic but very crowded and hot. Quercianella: Swimming and snorkling, lovely stone beaches. Shopping: Trip to Centro Commerciale Montecatini Beaches: Viareggio and Pietrasanta. Note! Beaches are full of private beach clubs (our group 30-50/day). Also public beaches here and there.

Super Pool

Der Poolbereich ist super, inclusive Liegen und großem Esstisch mit Außengrill. Im Haus hätten wir uns etwas bessere Ausstattung gewünscht - Seife wäre sehr nützlich gewesen, besonders da wir - ungeplant - mitten in der Nacht angekommen sind. In der Küche gab es zwar genügend Teller, Besteck und Wassergläser, aber sonst fast nichts, keine Dessertschalen, nur 2x2 Weingläser und keine Platten. insbesondere gab es für den modernen Induktionsherd nur einen Topf und zwei Pfannen - sehr schade, denn in der Küche konnte man sich gut aufhalten. Trotzdem fanden wir unseren Aufenthalt super, weil das Wetter uns viel Zeit im Garten und Pool erlaubt hat. Vielen Dank an den Gastgeber und seine Flexibilität!

Why they chose this property

This property is near the house where i live in summer

What makes this property unique

The property is drowning in green. There are oliveyards and vineyards all around, several kind of trees and bushes, a lot of lemon and orange trees, and a lovely leafy arch at the entrance of the Swimming Pool.

The sun shines almost everyday, and at the night it is beautiful to just look at the stars as the sky is really clean and the air is warm!
