Further details for this holiday villa rental in Lucca, Italy

Villa La Magnolia: This lovely detached house is situated in the hills with views of Lucca and is only 5 mins walk from local shops and bar. Lucca is about 6 kms away and supermarkets about 4 kms. The well kept gardens and patio are equipped with garden furniture and long table seating up to 16 people.

Lucca: The city of Lucca is entirely surrounded by medieval fortress walls and is almost completely closed to traffic. Passing through the ancient Roman gates one is transported back in time. It is possible to meander on foot or bike through the narrow paved streets and tall buildings which seem to lean out to touch one another in the sky. There are ancient palaces, museums and churches all rich in history and culture. There are many small, elegant shops, restaurants, bars, cinemas and the famous Teatro Giglio where Puccine and Verdi operas are played to a packed house.

Province of Lucca: The countryside of Lucca offers some of the most picturesque views in Italy; the antique summer villas and estates of the Lucchese nobility with their gardens, vineyards and olive groves, the ancient farmhouses and the medieval hilltop villages are unique. Travelling north one finds the spa town of Bagni di Lucca with it's thermal swimming pool and on the other side of the Serchio river is the town of Borgo a Mozzano with it's famous Devil's Bridge. The area to the north is know as Garfagnana and the panorama gradually changes from pine cladded hills to a more mountainous terrain.

Summer Holiday in Lucca

Happy_Customer Lymington, Hants
Review Submitted: September 11, 2008 Date of Stay: August 2008
This property was ideal for our extended family. It was spacious, well-equipped, clean, well-maintained. The plumbing deserves a special mention(!) - all the showers worked very well and we did not exhaust the hot water supply. It was ideally located for our purposes which was to be within driving distances to PISA (30mins top), LUCCA (20mins top) & beaches. Getting to Florence was easy on public transport too. The villa pool didn't taste (!) quite right and Angelo (who tended the gardens regularly throughout our stay) was quick to apologise for getting the chemical balance wrong - None were added in the second week and it did improve. It was fully usable and very pleasant throughout our 2 week stay. There were two flat screen TVs both attached to SKY which was a bonus to both the male 'Olympic' members of our party and the 'kids TV' crowd! There was also access to a phone for local calls and a wireless router was blinking upstairs so I guess internet access would be possible (we didn't avail ourselves of this). There were some excellent local restaurants and a big Gelataria nearby (walking distance).
the local shops were a bit hit & miss for opening times but essentials could be had there (we mainly used the Carrefour in LUCCA or PISA -equidistant). We wished we had used the local butcher a lot more however - he was a late discovery but had some fantastic meat on display and was willing to try and communicate with us, even given our non-existant Italian.
We could have benefitted from doing a bit more research on the local environs before coming (our fault) but would also have valued a bit more local 'tourist'-type information to hand in the villa eg the local shop locations and opening times, local restaurant recommendations, advice on good days out etc etc Although to be fair both Angelo AND Eve were very forthcoming when asked.
TOP TIPS- The local tourist info at San Lorenzo a Vaccoli is excellent./ Parco di Pinocchio is for VERY little children only/ STEFANI restaurant down the road is excellent as is the Pizaria opposite the road. Parking for LUCCA> park for free outside the city walls and walk in.

I would have no hesitation in recommending this to a friend.
Lastly - DON'T rely on Eve's directions from the airport (sorry Eve!!) use AA autoroute or similar- It is a very simple route but I guess only if you're used to it!!!

La Magnolia, June 2008.

The Drizzler Munich, Germany
Review Submitted: June 17, 2008 Date of Stay: June 2008
We stayed here for a week in June as a family group with eight people ranging in age from twenties to eighties. It worked very well and the property was all we had hoped for. The garden is large and private and the house and pool are exactly as described. Everything was well cared for. We saw the owner briefly and there was maid service every day.

We particularly enjoyed the big outside table for meals and views across to Lucca and the hills. The waterproof roofing to the terrace also came in handy during some thunderstorms.

We made trips to Lucca (ten minutes by car) several times as well as longer ones to Florence, Siena and San Gimignano.

We would certainly recommend this house to anyone wanting plenty of space in a quiet spot close to Lucca.

Lovely location but slightly disappointing inside

Lovelucca UK
Review Submitted: June 10, 2008 Date of Stay: May 2008
The villa was situated in a nice village near Lucca with fantastic views and a lovely garden and pool. The quality of the interior was slightly disappointing though with torn linen and towels and no soap but was spacious and clean enough.

A guide to where to find things in the property (spare linen, extra cutlery etc) and a little map of the local area showing nearest shop etc would have been useful. It also would have been useful for the owner to inform us the shops would be shut both Sunday and Monday after we arrived (as there was a National Holiday we were unaware of) as we were left low on food supplies until everything re-opened on Tuesday. There is also no dryer in the property which was in the specifications and is very much needed as the hills area can be quite humid and damp and we had to take trips to the local laundromatte to dry our clothes.

The owners were pleasant but fewer visits would have been appreciated as we felt our privacy was infringed and we would have appreciated the owner making a convenient appointment with us to mow the lawn and strim as arriving unannounced late one evening and at 8am on our last day were certainly not the best times for us with our young children in bed asleep.

The villa is in a lovely location but we felt the owners' enthusiasm was far more for the lovely exterior of the villa than the interior. Not quite the value for money we had hoped for.
