Tuscany oceanfront rentals

Amazing villa, great check in process. Rooms gorgeous, living space's very comfortable. We stayed with 2 families over Christmas, very cosy. A car is very useful to see neighbouring towns.

We received a warm welcome from the family and a thorough explanation of the facilities, the surrounding area and places of interest. Fabrizio communicated easily with us using the translation phone app. The apartment is very clean, well equipped and offers a genuine Italian experience. Simply wonderful.

We loved staying there. Monica and Giovanni were wonderful hosts as were their 3 puppies. Beautiful location, Stunning building and Monica is a fantastic chef as well.

The property was homely, rustic and welcoming. The owners did everything to make us comfortable with their own produce and wine.

A fantastic experience - stayed here for a week - initially a bit scary because of the drive up the narrow road to get to the villa, but after doing it once all was ok - very little traffic - Massimo was an excellent host, met us in Lucca and we followed him out to the villa - very high up in the hills with magnificent views - we only had one small problem with the wifi but Massimo responded very quickly to sort it out I would highly recommend this villa

My family, including my parents and children, spent the most wonderful week at this beautiful property! The house and private outdoor terrace is huge, with lots of different spaces to spend eating and drinking and relaxing. The pool was incredible - the kids loved the diving board and making friends with other children who were also staying in the hamlet. It was the perfect house for us to spend a week relaxing in Tuscany!

Good points: weather permitting the rear verandah is superb for outdoor dining with a fantastic view overlooking Lucca. Bedroom accommodation size was good and pleasantly decorated. Upstairs bedroom windows equipped with flyscreens and shutters. The kitchen and laundry was adequate for small numbers. The water spring at the bottom of the hill was refreshing and provided many a bottle of fresh water. The Bad: on arrival and departure luggage transfers was possible via a deteriorated steep pathway or many stairs through an adjoining private property which proved difficult. Daily movements through neighbours property felt uncomfortable and intrusive. The internal living area in the property is too small for the suggested number of people to be comfortably accommodated. The ugly: In our opinion driving on the access road to the property after dark is not safe and prohibited our movement in the evenings. The dishwasher filter was extremely dirty and was in need of a good clean. The mould around the shower recess was given a good clean together with the tiles on the kitchen bench as they were mouldy and unhygenic. The toilet brushes require replacing.
