Bell'Estate - Your Dream Villa in Tuscany

Alessandra could not have been more welcoming, and the home was everything in our Italian dreams. The villa is the perfect blend of grand and cozy - very authentic, Italian energy with warm cozy fireplaces and rich history everywhere you turn. It's just a short 15 minute drive from Lucca, where we spent most of our days. We stayed at the home for Thanksgiving for 9 days with my in-laws and our 3 young kids. The chef made THE BEST turkey dinner we'd ever had, and Alessandra even left us some homemade cranberry sauce. Also, having Cynthia, the housekeeper, made a huge difference keeping the house tidy - the perks of a hotel while having your own space. Highly recommend this home - especially with a large group or kids the chef for a few meals to get an authentic/magical experience. Thank you again Alessandra, we will be back!!!

We had a wonderful time at the Bell'Estate.It was such a perfect setting for a week with close friends to celebrate a 50th Birthday. Only recommendation would be to change the pillows!

Our large group with small children had a wonderful time at the villa. The pool is one of the largest I’ve seen at a private property and the grounds are large and great for kids. The villa has gorgeous views and feels secluded but is only about 10 minutes to Lucca centre by car. The bedrooms are large and comfortable and there are lots of bathrooms, handy for big groups. The daily cleaning was a nice touch, the cleaners were kind and unobtrusive to our stay. Overall we had a fantastic time and would come again!

The contact with Alessandra leading up to our stay was absolutely lovely—quick, pleasant, and full of helpful information. When we arrived, the house and its surroundings were even more beautiful than in the pictures! The home is truly the ultimate Tuscan dream. Alessandra has decorated it in such a warm and personal way, and she really makes you feel welcome in their home. It genuinely feels like you're living in Tuscany for a while.Swimming in the amazing 25-meter pool with views of the mountain peaks is a dream, and afterwards you can enjoy tomatoes fresh from the garden! In no time at all, you're in the charming and diverse town of Lucca, and the surrounding area is perfect for scenic walks. The housekeeping staff are very kind and discreet—you hardly notice they're there.The house and garden offer complete privacy, both from neighbors and within the house itself. The layout is spacious, yet the cozy shared spaces for dining, drinks, or relaxing make it easy and enjoyable to spend quality time together.If you're looking for a personal, authentic Tuscan home with all the comforts you could wish for, Alessandra’s place is simply perfect!

House was lovely, property is wonderful. Pool was an asset which we greatly enjoyed. We ate all of our meals outside in the beautiful area behind the house. Housekeepers daily were pleasant and unobtrusive. Owner was accessible and extremely helpful with information and suggestions. We felt Alessandra went out of her way to help us plan a wonderful vacation for our extended family.The area was very interesting and historical. We had an amazing time.

Our 3-generation family of 14 (ages 80 to 24) had a fabulous 2-week vacation at Bell’Estate. The villa and grounds are absolutely beautiful-just as pictured on the webpage. The pool was huge and in such a beautiful setting. The location is perfect for day trips. We spent time in Lucca, Florence, Pisa, Cinque Terre, Viareggio and San Gimignano. The wisteria arbor provided a magical surprise after dark- hundreds of fireflies lighting up like stars. Our host, Alessandra, could not have been more helpful and responsive. She did everything possible to make us feel welcome and cared for including a recommendation for a chef, Sonia, to prepare several very delicious meals for us. It was wonderful to come back to the villa after a day of sightseeing to a scrumptious meal waiting for us. To sum up, our experience was perfect!

This property is a perfect combination of grace, location and convenience, and the host is as accommodating as they come. Good travels!

Wonderful house with the best pool you will ever see. Only 10 minutes from lucca, great host

We had an amazing time in Alessandras’s house. We felt at home. Every room has a story, the pool is spectacular…and the finding table in the shade of an oak tree…

The property is like a manor estate, yet it is not cold in the least. It is a warm, welcoming home with plenty of space to gather either inside or out. The owner is a wonderfully interesting couple that are friendly and responsive. this is the third time we’ve rented homes for 3 weeks in Tuscany and this home was the best!
