Very helpful host makes you feel really welcome. Large well equipped apartment with bathroom for each bedroom. Excellent pool and outside facilities. Surroundings outside the garden with a waste water plant nearby is the only thing preventing 5 stars.
We had 6 days in the Lucca region and we loved it! Lucca city was fabulous, never a problem parking outside the city walls, and the shops and restaurants were many and varied. A wonderful visit!
we were a group of 8 with 2 children 6 & 11, the apartments were very clean , the grounds were great and the pool was a great way to keep everyone happy. Just 10 minutes from Lucca, the only negative was you need your own transportation which we had so it was not an issue
The apartments are modern and well stocked. Be aware that the apartments are up two flights of stairs. The owners occupy the ground floor apartment and were very responsive to our questions and needs. The kids enjoyed the pool and we enjoyed the patio grill. Plenty of room for all of us (7 people total). The AC was a must and was a welcomed respite after a day of exploring. We were minutes from the walled city of Lucca. It was an easy drive to Barga. We took day trips to Florence and Siena as well. Highly recommend!
The property was perfect for my 9 people. Designed to be split into two separate apartments. The pool was the big hit. After hot days on tours, coming back to a pool was perfect. I would recommend a rental car. The house is 1.2 miles from Lucca.
Fabulous holiday in very comfortable villa - excellent facilities for 2 families (4 adults and 4 young adults). Plenty of space for us all to relax both inside and out and good kitchen facilities made cooking easy.
Pool area was lovely and spotlessly clean - great outside eating area and BBQ.
Perfect location as quiet and peaceful but close enough to walk to Lucca in the evening and explore pretty villages/restaurants nearby. Close to local supermarket which had huge range of produce and good access to station so day trip to Florence was enjoyed by all!
Would highly recommend for two families or a large group. Owners very helpful and friendly but also not at all intrusive despite living on site.
Possibly one of the best holidays we have had with our good friends and their family and we have shared a few since the kids were little!
We were picked up at the train station by our helpful host, and welcomed by his lovely wife on arrival at the property. Both ensured we were able to ask them anything.
The apartments and outdoor areas are immaculate and well-maintained. Having two areas for 3 family groups was very helpful. There were spaces for us all to gather and also the opportunity for quieter spaces when needed. The apartment is well-equipped with appliances and cooking and serving utensils. The beds were very comfortable, large rooms and great bathrooms.
The weather (and water) were still a little too cool for us to fully utilise the beautiful pool - but this did not stop a few of us from trying. The outside dining area was lovely.
We hired bikes in Lucca for all 8 of us. This was a great option for us as we did not want to be driving.
Thank you for your organisation, Lorraine. Thank you especially to Elaine and Sanai - you are kind and generous people. We loved getting to know you and your family.
I really didn't want to write this review as I may be cutting my nose off and spoiling our chances of another visit! I have travelled alot and am not easily pleased and have never reviewed our holiday but we had such a fantasitic time I felt I ought to. Villa Rosa is fantastic. It was absolutely immaculate to say the least. facilities were great especially the kitchen which was filled with everything any decent cook needed. A family of four in each apartment would be great but for those with smaller children there is a sofa bed too which would do the job, two couples could share one apartment easily, with the two huge bathrooms you would easily manage. The owners are on site but to be honest we hardly saw them and when we did they were lovely, really knowledgable and helpful, even giving us a discount card for the local supermarket. Location wise this spot is fantastic, five minutes drive fro Lucca with access to major motorway only minutes away, train station is on your doorstep. We travelled to Pisa, Florence and Sienne with ease as well as the many beaches and mountain villages. You could spend a couple of days in Lucca alone with its lovely shadey streets and many places to eat or drink coffee. I don't like to recommend holiday destinations as everyone has different tastes, but if you want to have a good look around northern Italy and stay in a clean, beautiful villa with access to major tourist spots then this is definately for you. For all we had done our research this was definatley a lucky find.
We have just returned from a week in Lucca. We had a lovely rine and particularly enjoyed the outside space which really make this rental. The pool was very welcome in the extreme heat and the garden space around the pool is great, with plenty of space to relax and dine. Always able to get shade too.
It is 2 separate apartments which worked well as we were 2 families so it was nice to have our own space.
The following areas were disappointing and not as expected or advertised
- you are renting 2 2nd floor apartments within a villa, not the whole villa. The ground and first floor are occupied by the owner and their family. Whilst they dont use the pool and garden, they are always around and have a balcony that overlooks the pool and so it doesnt feel very private. There was also noise in the apartment from the children living downstairs. It feels like you are renting a room in somebody's house rather than renting a villa. If you want a private space, this is not for you.
- the listing says the owners have their own entrance and parking but they don't and park inside the gates right infront of the pool. This made it more difficult getting our 2 cars in and out and again doesnt make it feel private.
- the listing says there is a ping pong table in the garden but there isnt
- there is a municipal dog pound on the same road so you do get a lot of dog barking, particularly in the evenings
Wir hatten einen sehr angenehmen Aufenthalt in Lucca. Die Gastfamilie war sehr freundlich, spricht gutes Englisch und hatte uns Ihre Rabattkarte fĂŒr den Supermarkt ausgeliehen. Trotz dessen, dass sie mit auf dem GelĂ€nde wohnt, wurden wir zu keiner Zeit gestört und hatten unsere PrivatsphĂ€re. Der Eingang und Pool Bereich ist separiert und nicht einsehbar. Der Gastvater hat zudem jeden morgen den Pool gereinigt. Die beiden Apartments haben Klimaanlagen in jedem Zimmer. Neben dem klasse Pool war eine AuĂenkĂŒche mit starkem Grill und KĂŒhlschrank. Die NĂ€he zu Pisa und Lucca ist super fĂŒr AusflĂŒge. Durch den Pool waren wir nur zweimal am Strand, welcher aber innerhalb von 25 Minuten mit dem Auto erreicht werden kann.
Wir hatten eine schöne Zeit in Lucca. Wir hatten uns FahrrÀder geliehen, damit war man in 10 min in der Innenstadt.
Der Pool und der AuĂenbereich waren sehr gut.
Die Kommunikation mit dem Vermieter war einfach und man hat unter der Woche nicht viel von ihm mit bekommen.
Die Tischtennisplatte war aktuell kaputt und nicht verfĂŒgbar.
Points faibles : Emplacement, exactitude de lâannonce
Nicht weiterzuempfehlen!
Keine Villa, nur 2 Wohnung im 2.Obergeschoss mit sehr viel Treppensteigen und Garten/Poolbenutzung, dort wohnt eine 3 Generationen Familie im EG und im 1.OG mit 3 kleinen Kindern, die sich alle sehr laut verhalten. Morgens um 8.30 war an Schlafen nicht mehr zu denken. Bis spĂ€t abends 11.30 waren die Kinder aktiv. Auch am Pool war es so laut zu hören, dass man nicht ungestört sein konnte. Nach 3 Tagen haben wir dies dem Vermieter mitgeteilt und es wurde nur kurzfristig besser. Der Vermieter war bei verschiedenen Gelegenheiten sehr hilfsbereit, was toll war. Der EigentĂŒmer hat aber nicht gewusst, dass wir mit Hund kommen. Er selbst hat Katzen, was zu Konflikten gefĂŒhrt hat. Das sollte man bei Buchung mit Hund wissen! AuĂerdem wurde das Gartentor oftmals offen gelassen, ohne uns in Kenntnis zu setzen, so dass unser Hund das GrundstĂŒck verlassen konnte und es fast zum Unfall kam. In ca. 100m Entfernung befindet sich ein Tierheim, was GanztĂ€gig zu Hundegebell gefĂŒhrt hat. In ca. 150/200m Entfernung ist ein sehr groĂes KlĂ€rwerk, was zu intensiver GeruchsbelĂ€stigung gefĂŒhrt hat. KĂŒhlschrank im Garten war mit Ameisen bevölkert und ist bei Ankunft erstmal von uns gereinigt worden,kein Backofen vorhanden, dadurch konnten wir keine Pizza backen und unser Geburtstagskind nicht mit einem Kuchen ĂŒberraschen Waschmaschine hat 2 Wochen nicht funktioniert, kein vorhanden
To lejligheder. Plads nok til ti, som vi var. Ikke klart af annoncen, at vi skulle bo pÄ 2. Sal
KĂžkkenet indbĂžd ikke til stĂžrre kogekunst. Ingen ovn.
Dejligt poolomrÄde.
2 km fra muren i Lucca, men et stykke af vejen smal, befĂŠrdet og uden fortorv
Wat een warm welkom door de gastheer. Geen enkel moeite was teveel voor hem of het nu een reservatie in een restaurant betreft of een gordijn tegen de zon. Ook de rest van de familieleden waren zeer behulpzaam. Alles was voor ons daar super.
NÀra den trevliga staden Lucca. Gav direkt kÀnslan av Toscana. Bra lÀgenheter, bra pool och uteplats med grillmöjligheter. Mycket trevlig vÀrd, som var vÀldigt serviceinriktade.
