I REALLY wanted to stay here, but I was wondering if I’d made a wise choice after the difficulties we had in finding the place. (Tip #1: make every effort arrive in daylight. More tips on that below.) However, from the moment I opened the curtains the next morning, the last trace of doubt was erased! It is a lovely,... more

My wife and I spent a most enjoyable week at Albergo Villa Marta and found the hotel clean, relaxed and extremely comfortable, with very attentive and helpful staff. We relied on public transport and found the local bus service to both Lucca and Pisa a cheap reliable means of getting around, the stop on the main road being approximately 10... more

It certainly is impressive driving up to Villa Marta. The surrounding area is lovely but what strikes you most of all is the quiet - it really is unbelievably peaceful. Our room was quite small and basic but perfectly fine. Staff were all very smiley and friendly. The breakfast was ok but no more than that - the best thing... more

This was great! A 350 year old Villa turned B&B. Staff was fantastic, the room was very clean, the place was quiet and quaint. We went to see Luca, but we had to spend an evening on the grounds reading, it was so peaceful and the hills in the background made a great view. more

We really enjoyed staying at Villa Marta. The owners were welcoming and helpful as were all the staff. I wanted to rent a scooter (which was a mistake for me but that's another story) and they lined one up within bicycle riding distance of the hotel. We spent one afternoon bicycling and hiking as well. The hotel had bicycles for... more

We spent 2 nights at Villa Marta as part of a whirlwind road trip to Italy for a wedding. It was by far the nicest place we stayed. The countryside around Lucca is not as stunningly pretty as further south in Tuscany (no rolling hills or terraced fields), but that really didn't matter because Villa Marta was just wonderful. The... more

We absolutely loved it! A great place for couples wanting peace and quiet, time by the pool and great views of the Tuscany scenery but who also want to pop out to places not far away. Lucca is only 10 minutes away by car (Pisa 20 mins) but after a few minutes in the hotel and the garden we didn't... more

What superlative can I use that has not been used yet? We went to a short trip to Lucca for our 10th wedding anniversary. Expectations were extremely high, having read reviews below and I must say : this was about the most charming week-end we ever had abroad. As someone tells, they are all and even more than what you... more

Just arrived back from my birthday trip to tuscany. We chose this hotel as we wanted somewhere to relax after a very stressful few months, with a plan to make trips into Lucca to sample the restaurants and explore the town a little. We didn't hire a car and found taxis were quite expensive, 60 euros to the airport and... more
