Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is nestled just a five-minute drive from the charming walled city of Lucca. Our room featured a very spacious bathroom with a large shower and a bathtub. While the rooms didn't meet our high expectations, the service and location truly stood out during our stay.
The hotel is a true oasis perfect for exploring Tuscany, with beautifully managed rooms featuring balconies overlooking the grounds, though a touch dated especially the bedding. The service is top-notch, going above and beyond from driving guests to the airport to being extremely courteous. The location is ideal for exploring Lucca, Pisa, the Tuscan coast, and Florence, although a car or taxi is necessary for visits to Lucca. While the dining is varied, the Wi-Fi connection can be poor, and transportation costs can add up.
