ROMANTIC FARMHOUSE VILLA WITH PRIVATE INFINITY POOL AND GREAT VIEWS IN LUCCA

The garden was magical. So much space and all the flowers, olive trees. Also the space in the house was great. Big bedrooms, huge living etc. -

We loved the privacy, the stunning scenery, the surroundings, the pool and how easy it was to feel at home! It’s a short spin into Lucca and close to lovely vineyards and great Osterias! The only improvement we would suggest is more comfortable mattresses.

Our family of seven adults had a once in a lifetime stay at this charming villa nestled in the hills outside of Lucca. From the start our host Cristina was welcoming and helpful. She also hosted a cooking class for our group right at the villa. It was informative and lots of fun to spend time with Cristina, her daughter and partner. They spoiled us with their Tuscan cuisine and entertained us with their cooking tips! We took day trips each day to Florence, Chianti, Siena, Cinque Terre and Livorno. We also explored the local vineyards in the Montecarlo area. Each night we looked forward to returning to our comfortable home for the week. We especially enjoyed the peaceful grounds and pool area. We took full advantage of the outdoor dining spaces. We all hope to return to this special place!

Villa and hayloft are a great combination of old traditional (original brickwork and some decor) and modern (WiFi, good dishwasher, pool etc). Well cared for and kitted out with most of what one could need (nice touches like table tennis and welcome wine). Lots to do in area but our kids enjoyed the pool too much for us to do justice to it all. Great local eateries (2 walkable, just). Friendly and helpful local agents and very nice owner.

We spent a week here at the end of October. The bedrooms are really comfortable and each one has large beds and upscale bathroom The outside of our room was covered in wisteria and jasmine which must smell amazing in the summer. The villa also has a large, well-equipped kitchen-diner and a comfortable sitting / dining room. It really is just 2 minutes drive from shops and groceries and in 10-15 mins drive from Lucca town. Our host Mrs Sonia was superb and so sweet and she was available whenever we needed to ask for suggestions. The pool is set among the olive groves and it is equipped with sunbeds and a lovely wood gazebo right outside the living room. We will never forget our trip to Lucca and our stay in this amazing farmhouse! The owner has left notes around the apartment to help you deal with plumbing, electricity etc. We followed the instructions and had no problems.

Stayed in Villa for 2 weeks between August and September. Villa is huge with great views from high on top on mountain. Only 10 mins drive to Lucca, 40 minutes to Pisa and 45 mins to Florence. Made arrangements for tours, cooking class with Villa owners which were great. Also BBQ night using Villa's own wood bbq outside was a memory for lifetime. Infinity pool was great way to cool off after a long day of touring. Host provided maps, navigation and phones which made finding places to see/eat easy. If you are staying in Tuscany you can't find a better place

A wonderfully equipped and positioned farmhouse. We were a family of 9 of 3 generations on a big family holiday and stayed for 2 weeks, the farmhouse is really secluded but central for all the key places you could wish to visit in Tuscany with Lucca being a real gem . Can highly recommend riding bikes arround the battlements. The farmhouse is well equipped with everything you need ,the pool is lovely and a real asset in the hot weather. The interior of the farmhouse is cool and comfortable with lots of comfy seating and the hammock outside was a real favourite with our family . The maid service was provided twice a week although only changed the sheets once during our stay and although pool towels were provided these weren't washed by maids during our stay so we washed them ourselves also loo rolls were only provided at the beginning of rental ! It also needs mentioning that in this part of Italy recycling is prolific and you need to remember each night to put out next day's collection ! We ate out mostly on our days out but locally AndreasPizza takeaway was fabulous and El matteo nearby has the best steak we have all had in a long time along with Butterfly a nearby Michelin starred restaurant. We had a wonderful stay and thanks to Christina for meeting us so late on our arrival ,just one footnote don't hire large cars as the route from village to farmhouse has a very narrow lane .

It was a lovely

We had a wonderful stay at Melograno with our daughter and son-in-law. Everything was clean and ready to use. The property is beautiful, up in the hills with views down towards Lucca. With the 2 houses, we had plenty of privacy and space. We even used the pool a couple of times. Making the arrangements was easy and our deposit was returned in a timely manner.

Amazing views and location. Three generations of our family came for 2 weeks (we all wish we had come for longer). We had a wonderful time in the pool, food at the surrounding trattorias, local wine and olive oil tasting. Lots of places to visit. Very helpful staff especially Christina
