“Would return without hesitation”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 24, 2012

We were in this quiet and charmant hotel in June 2012. We highly appreciated his location in the midst of greenery: it was a delightful haven to return to everyday after visiting Lucca. The building is a jewel, renovated but maintaining its original charm, and the rooms were clean, confortable and spacious. The staff were all welcoming, friendly and helpful. World return without hesitation.

Stayed June 2012, traveled with family (2 kids).

“Brilliant personal customer care and a superb hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 21, 2012

We got an excellent welcome from the receptionist (always important, but does not always happen), who when she noticed my wife used a stick immediately offered to change our room. Lunch by the pool was excellent quality and value. This was the only time we had to give our room number as all the waiting staff seemed to know it after this. The main restaurant has an excellent menu and pages of superb local wines. In summer, you can eat on the terrace.
The room was large, comfortable and well maintained. The 30m outdoor pool was perfect, with good towel service. It had a bar for daytime or early evening drinks.
When we stayed in September, the hotel had significantly reduced its rates, and the best rate appeared on their web site rather than through agencies, which always seems sensible.
The hotel is circa 2 miles from Lucca, so is convenient for sightseeing.

“Lovely Country Hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 23, 2012

Lovely old building, nice grounds, large comfortable room, outstanding breakfast selection, good restaurant. Excellent base for visiting Lucca and the surrounding Tuscan towns and seaside. The staff were friendly and helpful with good English skills.

Room Tip: pick a room facing the garden. But they all seemed nice.

“Could be amazing!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed October 15, 2012

This is a beutiful hotel that has everything. The pool and grounds are great and the rooms are very nice. The breakfast is very nice and we enjoyed it on a very nice patio. The negatives are: 1) service is just OK. The hotel was fully booked and there were only a few wait-persons who worked the moring and evening meals; 2) the restaurant offers an evening menu that is both limited and expensive

Room Tip: I am sure that you can not go wrong.
