Avis Charming small villa with jacuzzi and large garden

This was the perfect base for our travels to Italy. The villa was a short walk to the city wall. We walked each morning to either the bakery, coffee shops or restaurants. The garden, it’s magic. We sat each morning with coffee in hand in the private garden overlooking the Tuscan hillside listening to the birds chirping. It’s an entertainers dream. We were fortunate to host an evening in the garden for family and friends. It was lovely! This was an impromptu trip to visit family/friends and Enrico (the host) ensured all details of our stay were attended too; the wine, his mother’s homemade marmalade, directions & and instructions. He was very informative and responsive. Our stay was perfect. We look forward to returning. Lucca you’re a beauty!

La casa di Enrico è proprio come te l'aspetti corrisponde perfettamente alle immagini dell'annuncio. Anzi forse ci sono una tutta una serie di dettagli che non sono nemmeno presenti in descrizione. Il giardino è immenso la vasca idromassaggio grande, grandi anche gli spazi esterni per mangiare all'aria aperta. La casa in sé è piccolina ma non manca assolutamente nulla. Non sono riuscita a trovare un utensile che non fosse presente! Enrico poi è super gentile e disponibile. La posizione è ottima la casa si trova vicino al centro città ma resta comunque in una parte piuttosto riservata che consente di passare delle giornate estremamente silenziose e piacevoli. Inoltre Lucca si presta da buona base per delle gite nei dintorni: Io ad esempio ho approfittato della vicinanza della stazione per fare un tour di una giornata in treno delle Cinque Terre. Grazie Enrico, ci siamo riposati tanto 💓

We booked Enrico's house for a summer trip over to Lucca and it looked so amazing, and had such a lot of outdoor space we had to ask whether it was all private or shared because we couldn't quite believe it. The property is an old smallholding with a farm building that has been completely overhauled so it feels more like a luxury hotel in Greece (beautiful concrete floors, lovely decor). The land is about 100m x 40m (so absolutely massive) and has been so amazingly landscaped we were taking tips - there's a bunch of different areas: - a sunbathing area with 2 beanbag loungers and a small table and BBQ - a shady pergola area with a huge table that can seat about 16 people (we were commenting it would be great for a party) and has lovely hanging outdoor chandeliers - a hot tub area that you can pull the curtain across on to make it fully private that also has a dressing shed, outdoor showers and candelabra! - a covered fussball table! Enrico was also lovely and extremely helpful. This is a throwback to the early days of home rentals when you were actually staying in someone's loved property that they'd made for themselves - this is one of the coolest properties I've ever seen and also great for hot summer days because there's so many shade trees. We loved it! (PS - this is an actual review, not a dodgy planted review :-))
