A memorable trip.
I can’t say enough about this amazing property … everything from the gardens to the architecture to the interior design was stunning. While the location is a bit remote, we found it a delightful location to spend quality time with family and friends. We indulged in a cooking class, making homemade pasta topped off with Tiramisu. Truly one of the most memorable trips our very well traveled family has experienced.

Lovely lucca villa
The villa was perfection. Our family had a wonderful stay. The company manager Lucca Apartments and Villas is lovely and so helpful. The pool is a dream and dinners on the deck each evening felt like paradise looking over the breathtaking view.

Our Lucca stay
The house was clean and beautiful upon arrival. The setting was perfect for our 3 families. The big kids stayed at the hayloft that had all the same amenities and they loved the privacy there. The pool was an added treat during the hot days to relax. We hired a chef to cook a few nights while we enjoyed the outdoor dining and sunset! It was truly a magical stay! Thank you.

Even better than the pictures
The villa was incredible, even better than the pictures. It was perfect for our group of 13! The indoor and outdoor spaces were phenomenal and the view breathtaking. We did not want to leave. Special thank you to the host who was flexible when we were running late to check in due to travel delays! Highly recommend!

Thanks again for all.
2 weeks after our return from our stay at Lucca I would like to say thank you for all. We`ve spend a lovely time at your houses and garden. The children had many hours at the very nice pool and we adults enjoyed the nice countryside and towns of tuscany. It was our first time at tuscany countrysi-de- it was all like a big open-air-museum! Hope, that the house was o.K. after our leaving.

Lucca Dream Villa
Spacious house for big family. The surrounding area was amazing with the views. Modern conveniences but still has the charm of its past.
The road up the drive could be smoother. Difficult situation with the trash if you don’t have a car. All minor suggestions for an otherwise perfect place.

FANTASTIC VILLA
We had a fantastic 2 week stay in this wonderful villa in June/July 2023. The wonderful hospitality was greatly appreciated. The villa itself was excellent, with great views, lots of space, clean, and extremely quiet. The pool was excellent and the children loved it. A vehicle is needed, but the location is ideal for trips to Lucca, shopping, groceries, and sightseeing. We managed to tour a lot of the Northern Tuscany areas. Martina was extremely helpful and the service was excellent. We would highly recommend this villa to others and are intent on returning!

Everything about this villa exceeded our expectations
Our family absolutely loved our stay at this beautiful villa in Lucca! It was even more stunning in person than in the photos — professionally decorated, spacious, and thoughtfully equipped with every convenience you could imagine. The attention to detail was incredible, from the high-quality furnishings to the fully stocked kitchen and cozy living areas.We especially enjoyed the pool area — it was private, peaceful, and perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring. We enjoyed several local wineries in the area! There was plenty of room for our entire family to spread out comfortably, yet the home still felt warm and welcoming.Everything about this villa exceeded our expectations. We would happily return and recommend it to anyone looking for a beautiful, well-appointed home in a serene setting among the Tuscan hills.

Paradise
We had a wonderful stay at Villa Francigena, it was a very beautiful place with great views. Thank you and your family for providing a well equipped and comfortable villa, and a fantastic swimming pool, my children didn’t want to get out of the pool! We all loved Lucca and would defiantly come again and recommend our friends to stay too. We appreciated your clear instructions and maps, and your advice on restaurants and things to sightsee. Our memories of sunny Lucca will keep us going through the wet English weather! Hope to see you again, all our best wishes to you and your family,

Absolutely fantastic villa
It was well-equipped, felt luxurious and had more than ample space for our group of 18. We had people ranging in age from 4-81 years old and it was ideal for everyone. With multiple indoor communal spaces, the patios and the pool, plus the 7 bedrooms in the main house and 3 in the annex, we had plenty of space to gather (or get some alone time). The AC worked well and the villa remained cool despite fairly warm outdoor temperatures. The dining room is amazing and sat our entire family. We had a chef come in one night and there was plenty of space in the kitchen to prep a multi-course meal without impeding the rest of our family activities (Side note: we LOVED our chef from Tastemotions in Lucca, and highly recommend them, check them out!) . We strongly recommend the villa. The only note I might add (if it's not clear from the photos), is that the pool is a little walk down a hill from the house this did not bother us, but FYI.
