Great time in Lucca

Our stay in Lucca was wonderfully relaxing. Massimo was a great host. He stopped in several times in the two weeks that we were there. His travel tips and suggestions made our trip the most enjoyable we’ve had. The house was nicely furnished but kept a farmhouse charm. The view from the patio never failed to relax us. Very peaceful. We would come back in a heartbeat.

Just Amazing!

This was our second visit to Massimo’s villa. It’s so peaceful and beautiful. The views are out of a storybook. Massimo is one of the nicest, kindest people that you’ll ever meet. We will return again and again!

A piece of Tuscan heaven...

For two weeks we enjoyed a little piece of Tuscan heaven amongst the peaceful olive groves in the hills outside of Lucca, while discovering the history (and restaurants!) of the city of Lucca itself, along with day trips around the area including Lido di Camaiore along the coast, Pisa, and Firenze, historic villas and local wineries. The home itself is beautifully restored and authentically appointed, and we ended each day with wine on the covered terrace overlooking an amazing vista. Our host Massimo was most kind, gracious, and helpful and we very much enjoyed getting to know him. As other reviewers have noted, the approach to the home up and down the winding hills (and up and down the terraced steps between the house and parking) are not without their challenges, but it became easier each day.

Great Stay in a Typical Tuscan Villa

We had an amazing stay at Massimo's Tuscan Villa. We were close to the walled city of Luca, and it was a great place to stage your Tuscan vacation. The villa itself was well appointed and everything was high quality. The amazing views, and the Tuscan hillside made each morning very special. Massimo is a great host. He ensured that we had everything we needed and he knew it was our anniversary and left us a little gift for when we checked in. If you're looking for a typical Tuscan villa on the Tuscan Hill side surrounded by olive trees on a working olive tree farm, stay with Massimo. One of the best VRBO hosts I've ever had.

A gem of a property

Located in a delightful location, with incredible views towards Lucca. The owner is charming and helpful and very attentive to any requests. His mode of helping you find the house is faultless. This IS certainly a property you would return to. Thank you Massimo for sharing this with us. David

A Tuscan paradise

Enchanting property set high on a hill overlooking hundreds of olive trees with Lucca in the distance. Comfortable and clean with all the amenities one needs. Massimo is a very responsive and thoughtful owner and excellent guide for local food, history and sites. An opportunity not to be missed!

Total peace, fantastic views

We had a wonderful time at Massimo's beautiful home on the hillside. Fantastic views, absolutely gorgeous in the morning and at night. The home is impeccably clean. We were very comfortable and didn't have any complaints. We took great trips from this location, to Lucca, Cinque Terre, Volterra, Pisa, Garfagnana, Florence and Carrara. We ate at the suggested restaurants and loved them. Like others mentioned, the drive to the house is thrilling and does get easier every time you do it. Tuscany is one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen. Don't hesitate to plan this trip. I cannot wait to return.

Fantastic!

This place is just wonderful and Massimo is THE BEST host. The place doesn't have air conditioning, but don't let that put you off. We stayed there when it was unusually hot and it was still cool enough inside to sleep. The windows are all fitted with screens, so you can have the window without worry of insects getting in. The house has everything you can possibly need. Loved it. There's not a thing we would change!

Amazing stay in a wonderful villa!

Planned this trip with my two siblings and my sister in law and we are so happy we chose Massimo’s Villa! Massimo is a wonderful host and went above and beyond to accommodate us on a very late arrival time due to some airline delays. We should have arrived at 3pm but due to delays and being rerouted through Rome we did not arrive until 1am. Massimo’s suggestions for restaurants and winery visits were on point and setting us up with a Chef to cook dinner for us at the Villa made for a very memorable evening. Would not hesitate to stay at this property again! 5 Stars!!!

Beautiful rural house with amazing views

Firstly, I have to say that the photos of the view do not do it justice. You can see Lucca from the terrace and no matter what time of day, it is stunning. I took photos of the same view every day! The house itself is comfortable, well equipped and is perfect for a family break. It has all the things you need for a comfortable stay without losing any of the character of a rural dwelling. There are three double rooms - the two upstairs have en-suite, and the downstairs one has easy access to a shower room and toilet. The house is rurally located, which means it is lovely and quiet - usually you can only hear the sounds of nature and the occasional sounds of human life still happening elsewhere. Lucca is a 15 minute drive away and there are plenty of places to park, eat, drink and explore. A few tips for travellers: - the road to the house is narrow and windy - if the car hire company give you a big car and you are not used to narrow roads, ask them for a smaller one - the house is nestled in the middle of an area of woodland, so you will need bug repellent - as you leave Torre onto the main road, in the opposite direction from Lucca, there is a lovely bakery which does fresh bred and pastries - you must visit!

Beautiful Tuscan country retreat if it fits you

This is a truly beautiful house with long views down to Lucca and olive groves all around. It is well-furnished and we slept really soundly. Massimo, the host, is extremely gracious and offers many great ideas for local activities and day trips, and once you find it the local supermarket is very well stocked. Having said all that, there are two "buts" to determine if this is the right fit for you. The key one is that "steep, winding, and narrow road" indicated in some comments is an understatement of the case. If you are not an experienced and confident driver with a relatively small car, you're going to have a challenge. The road goes from one lane to less than one car width, there are no shoulders, and the dropoffs are steep. It is very unlikely that a car service would agree to come pick you up. Issue #2, which is related to that, is that either you cook quite a bit in the well-appointed kitchen or you stay out for lunch and dinner (meaning drive up the hill in the dark). It is a good 20-25 minutes to anywhere and you get to navigate the hill both ways. We would go out for the day, enjoy an Italian lunch, pick up supplies for dinner, and head home to cook and enjoy that. (Issue #3: if you are a crazy cat person, use your common sense and do not feed the feral cats that roam the mountain as the people before us did.) Again, we very much enjoyed our stay once we figured it all out but you need a small car and you better be a good driver.

A fantastic Lucca dream vacation.

We really loved our stay at this Tuscan farmhouse, we did not want to leave. The setting was perfect, up in the hills overlooking Lucca just a few miles distant. We had various family members coming and going throughout our stay. There was plenty of privacy for all with three bedrooms and three bathrooms. There is wonderful shared spaces to enjoy, the views from the terrace were spectacular. We were able to enjoy afternoon aperitivo as we relaxed in the setting sun. The full kitchen allowed us to make many meals from the treasures we found while roaming the countryside. The place was very clean and well set up, we were able to meet our host Massimo and move right in. The house is located perfectly, we could leave the house and be in the city walls of Lucca within 20 minutes. Groceries, gas, and pharmacies all within 10 minutes or so. From the house we drove to Pisa in 30 minutes, Lido di Camaiore (beach) 35 minutes, Florence a little more than an hour by train or car, Siena, Pienza, Arezzo 2 hours or less by car. Being so close to Lucca we really got to know the city. It’s easy to cover on foot, and there are many very good restaurants, and a great, more relaxed vibe than the more touristy cities in Tuscany. Our host Massimo was terrific, in fact the best we have encountered. We felt like valued guests. He even helped sorting out a parking ticket for us. Recommended a private chef for a special dinner that we loved. Massimo gets our highest recommendation.

Wir haben 2 Wochen im Juni in Massimos Haus gewohnt. Das Haus ist wunderschön eingericht und auf einem Hügel etwa 8 Km von Lucca entfernt gelegen. Man schaut von der Terasse in die Ebene und auf Lucca. Wenn man Ruhe und Entspannung sucht, ist man hier genau richtig. Massimo ist ein hervorragender Gastgeber, der sich sehr freundlich und zurückhaltend gekümmert hat. Vielen Dank dafür. Wir werden sicherlich noch einmal hierhin zurück kehren.

Traumhaftes Haus in toller Lage nahe Lucca

Das Haus war super schön – sehr gepflegt, stilvoll eingerichtet und mit allem ausgestattet, was man braucht. Die Lage ist ruhig und idyllisch, gleichzeitig ist man in wenigen Minuten in Lucca. Besonders gefallen hat uns die Nähe zur Natur und die entspannte Atmosphäre. Massimo war ein großartiger Gastgeber: herzlich, hilfsbereit und stets erreichbar. Wir haben uns rundum wohlgefühlt und können das Haus absolut weiterempfehlen!

Frühling im Olivenhain über Lucca

Wir haben eine traumhafte 1. April Woche in Massimos Haus verbracht und fanden es noch schöner als auf den Fotos. So eine Aussicht kann man eben nur schwer auf Bildern festhalten. Die Lage ist fantastisch und Sonne kommt früh am Morgen hinter dem Berg hervor und scheint den ganzen Tag auf das Haus und die Terrasse.Und zu so einer Aussicht und Abgeschiedenheit kommt man eben auch nicht auf einer breit ausgebauten Strasse. Wir waren mit 2 mittel großen Autos unterwegs und die Straße war völlig in Ordnung für uns. Einfach langsam fahren und ab und an vor den Kurven hupen. Wenn einem jemand entgegen kommt, dann sind es Einheimische, die wissen was zu tun ist.Das Haus ist bestens ausgestattet, die Matratzen sehr bequem, gute Bettwäsche und hochwertige Handtücher. In der Küche hatte es alles was wir gebraucht haben und wir haben sehr viel gekocht. An den Abenden war es noch kühl und da wir darauf verzichtet haben zu heizen, haben wir abends ein Feuer im Kamin in der Küche gemacht, Feuerholz ist vorhanden und günstig. Uns hat es für eine Woche gereicht aber auch für Nachschub wird gesorgt wenn man ihn braucht.Massimo stand uns immer mit Rat und Tat zur Seite und selbst als wir uns an unserem letzten Tag einen platten Reifen geholt haben wusste er wer uns schnell und professionell helfen kann. Ein Urlaub an den wir noch lange zurück denken werden und hoffentlich wieder kommen.

Casa molto bella,dal terrazzo si vede tutta lucca. La strada per raggiungere la casa è un po scomoda molto stretta ma comunque ne vale la pena. Non è specificato che la camera al piano terra non è presente il bagno come descritto nell'annuncio ma è in cucina con un disimpegno prima.

Stunning view and

A beautiful house in the mountains. The view is so stunning that no picture can do justice to it. It’s in the mountains, quiet, authentic and peaceful, yet close to Lucca, 10 minutes to the closest supermarket. Great gardens around the house, which are very well maintained. We were extremely well taken cared of By the owner Massimo. He was very kind and attentive. The rooms were very clean and comfortable. We hade more than everything we needed. I’d love to go back to the house again! Thank you Massimo!

Deux semaines de rêve !

C'était notre premier voyage en Toscane avec nos filles. Cette maison, située à seulement quelques minutes de Lucca, nous a offert un confort et une vue sublime. Nous avons pu rayonner sur la région (Lucca, Florence, Pise, Cinque Terre etc...) Massimo, notre hôte a été fantastique, tel un ami, il a su nous donner les meilleurs conseils pour profiter au maximum de notre séjour. Merci encore Massimo pour nous avoir confié votre si belle maison. Nous reviendrons c'est sûr.

Lovely stay in beautiful accomodation

Ou family, ranging from our 6 and 9 year old children up to their 80+ year old grandfather,had a lovely stay in this beautiful accomodation. The house is very charming, but also has great modern facilities like a fully equiped kitchen, window screens against mosquitos, lovely rain showers etc. The view is as amazing as you might dream. The kids had a lot of fun exploring the lush garden while we had drinks on the patio. The road up the hill was a bit scary the first time, but as Massimo promised we got used to it. It is comfortably close to Lucca, Pisa, Florence, the beach, the mountains...would love to come back some day and would absolutely recomm
