Description

Savor dreamy, unforgettable days among the romantic gardens and views of Villa Dondolino, relax on elegant loungers in the olive grove and bathing in the swimming pool. In the afternoon, make your own grillade and relish it alfresco. Then sip digestivi on the veranda.
The villa's interior includes multiple living salons with beautiful period furnishings and paint finishes. Prepare delicious Italian meals in the fully equipped kitchen, featuring modern appliances and a lovely veranda with breakfast table, and gather in the gorgeous formal dining rooms for festive feasts.
Glorious walks abound from your front door leading to hilltop views of high mountain ranges and glimpses of the glistening Mediterranean. Explore nearby ancient churches and the well-preserved medieval hamlets around, once a resting point for weary pilgrims travelling the Via Francigena, the famous pilgrim route that connected Northern Europe to Rome and then on to the Holy Land.
Villa Dondolino enjoys an ideal location on the surrounding hills A 15 mins drive brings you to Lucca—a medieval gem of a town famed for its fortified city walls, historic architecture and monuments as well of course for its wine production. Its narrow streets and splendid squares are filled with intriguing shops, enticing cafes and great restaurants. Take a bicycle ride on the battlements or set aside a few hours to tour a local vineyard and taste your way to a new favourite wine. On a day trip away from your rural retreat, stroll along the sandy beaches or take a swim in the warm waters on the bustling Versillian Riviera just 25 mins away; it’s a unique Italian seaside experience with bathing establishments stretching for miles along the sandy shores from vibrant Viareggio to sophisticated Forte dei Marmi. Florence, Pisa, Siena, Volterra, San Gimignano, Montecatini Terme, the fishing villages of the Cinque Terre, the spectacular mountains of the Garfagnana and many other highlights are all within easy reach.

Alles insgesamt sehr gut insbesondere der Zustand des Hauses und die saubere Gartenanlage mit Pool. Genügend Liegen uns Sitzgelegenheiten für die Pesonenanzahl.

Peter (Alemania)

Das Klima ist in Querce deutlich angehemer als in Pisa oder Lucca

Einzig die Auffahrt zu Anlage Dondolinio ist doch sehr abenteuerlich und beschwerlich, aber dafür hat man das angenehmere Klima !

So much more than a home away from away from home

Andrew (United Kingdom)

The description fairly describes the property and opportunities it offers but how you fall in love with this place when you visit is a very personal thing. The elements, the sounds, aromas light and feel of the air around Dondalino is unique in our experience. It's setting brings drama of sunsets and sunrises, breezes and zephyrs that keep a freshness when elsewhere the atmosphere is stuffy and the light in the gardens and around the pool and the house is very special in the low hillside air. Our hosts were brilliant and the agency helped make our month long summer stay with family very special. Definitely hope to visit again

The property caters for 8 and it would be useful to be able to have enough equipment to covers two meals for everyone. It would be beneficial for the agency to offer a mid-stay clean. The owners offer incredible support to guests

It’s wonderful to hear how the unique atmosphere, stunning natural light, and the magical setting of Dondalino left a lasting impression on you and your family. We’re delighted that our team contributed to making your month-long summer escape truly special—memories like these are what it’s all about!
We appreciate your feedback on the kitchen equipment and the mid-stay clean, and we’ll definitely take this into account as we strive to enhance our guests' experiences. It’s clear that the charm of Dondalino is something truly special, and we can’t wait to welcome you back for more unforgettable moments! A Presto!

The villa was great and just as described!

Caroline

The villa was up in the hills, so the location was remote, but that was only a positive thing for us for more privacy. No problem to get there by car. The area and the local neighbours that we met were lovely. The weather up in the hills was a few degrees lower than e.g. in Lucca, but this was also a positive thing for us - it was warm enough to swim etc. in the middle of September.
The floor plan of the villa worked nicely also for two families with kids.
There was a good variety of kitchen utensils for cooking.

Molte grazie!

Cameron

Finding a lovely villa that works for your situation takes some time....but after much researching, we booked this villa and fell in love with it the moment we drove up the hill and saw it for the first time. It had everything we wanted in a villa and more. The pictures just can not do it justice and it took our breath away when we first arrived. We visited Florence, Cinque Terre, San Gimignano, Viareggio and a lovely little town at the top of a mountain, Pedona. We always loved coming back to our villa/home.

The House Had everything you need

Patrice

We enjoyed the stay very much. The house had everything that is important for a nice vacation. Especially a lot of space, a large garden with pool, sunbeds, a large kitchen, barbecue. We have lacked nothing. The price is high but you get a lot for it. We also liked the location, you can make many trips in the area (Lucca, wineries, to the beach...). Highly recommended.

Wat een prachtig huis met zwembad en wat een mooie plek!
Wij hebben met z'n zessen een heerlijke tijd gehad hier. Eten op het terras, zwemmen tot s'avonds laat in een verlicht zwembad en de auto's op eigen terrein.
prachtige kamers boven en alles zo mooi verzorgd en schoon....
Kan het iedereen aanraden want het is de prijs echt waard.
enige verbeterpunt kan zijn dat de bedden wat minder zijn voor een huis op dit niveau.

Villa Regina Lucca - Villa

Enjoy the privacy of your own Tuscan home combined with resort-worthy amenities at VILLA REGINA. Located a few minutes away from Lucca town, on a hill in Cappella in the Lucca Wine Country region, the four-bedroom property has space for a large family or group of friends, rustic charm to spare and an ideal location close to wineries and amazing restaurants. Explore the estate, tour local wineries or simply relax in the jacuzzi bath or by the manicured garden and take in the sunset views.
Set amid green lawns with panoramic views of rolling hills, the stone villa offers plenty of space to soak in the Tuscan sun. Choose from the chaise longue by the house, a shady spot under an old tree, or a seat in the wild flowers field off one side of the house. Though you can enjoy great restaurants experiences, save room for a meal at the outdoor dining area. The kitchen is a treat for foodies. For entertainment, there’s Wi-Fi access, and for comfort, you'll find a delightful feature of air conditioning at the midway point of the staircase. Our split air conditioning units distribute cool air to the upstairs sleeping area, while also allowing the refreshing breeze to flow down to the ground floor. This ensures a consistently pleasant and comfortable atmosphere throughout the entire villa.
Originally a farmhouse, the villa has been fully restored to preserve its stone walls and beamed ceilings, but the furnishings add a modern twist. In the living room, neutral sofas, soft chairs in grey linen and a traditional-style wooden coffee table cluster around the cosy fireplace (not usable). The dining room is fresh and simple, with wooden chairs, warm white walls and plenty of light from the large windows. In the fully equipped kitchen, a striking wood island makes a roomy work space or handy serving station.
Each of VILLA REGINA’s four bedrooms has a private bathroom (some of which are ensuite), and a warm mix of traditional and rustic style.
A stay at VILLA REGINA wouldn’t be complete without a stroll around Lucca’s vineyards and woods, plus a day at the close by beaches of Viareggio, Lido di Camaiore or Forte dei Marmi. Livorno, Montecatini Terme, Pistoia, Pisa and Florence are all between 20 and 50 kms while Cinque Terre is just 70 kms away. After you’ve explored the enchanting surroundings, it’s only 6 km to the Lucca with its historical city centre and just 2 km to lovely groceries and shops. The hamlet of Camaiore is about 15 km away, and if you have a plane to catch, the Pisa airport is about 35 km away and the Florence airport is about 70 km away.

Check-in is between 4pm and 9pm.
A late check-in is possible with an extra fee of Euro 50 up to midnight, 100€ after midnight.

Villa Alberta Lucca - Villa

ALBERTA FARMHOUSE is a luxury villa in the heart of the rolling hills among the wineries and olive oil estates of Lucca. Although surrounded by Olive Groves and Vineyards, the villa is located in a 3.5 kms from the Walls of the town, the city centre of Lucca and the main shopping street of the town called VIA FILLUNGO.

Although completely restored, there remains much of the property’s traditional charm. The terracotta floors as you enter and the original furniture are a case in point.

Your peaceful surrounds are undulating hills dotted with cypress and olive trees and the vineyards are fringed by sun-drenched roses and plain trees.

ALESSIO which offers a wide range of delicious restaurants and old shops such as butchers, grocery stores, bakeries, cheese and wines shops and even a well-stocked supermarket of local foods.

Inside the villa, a masterful restoration harmoniously combines country chic interiors with typical Tuscan flair. The result is an atmosphere as warm as the weather outside. Traditional flagstone floors lead you to the outdoor dining room under an alfresco porch. The fully equipped country-style kitchen opens onto the outside dining area. On cooler evenings you can also opt to dine in the formal dining room which seats up to 12 people. There are also 2 living rooms both with a fireplace and a bathroom. On the first floor there are four bedrooms (three of which with a king size bed and one with two twin beds) and two full bathrooms

Outside this rustic-style farmhouse there are various places to relax and enjoy good wine and fine food while taking in the incomparable views. The large pool area (set on a higher level) is fringed by a pool house that features an additional bathroom with toilet and sink plus a warm outdoor shower.

Wifi and Air conditioning are available throughout the property. .Tv has international channels including BBC and CNN.
