Review Details:
The house and property are absolutely stunning! The grounds are beautiful and well manicured. The bedrooms and bathrooms are all very nice, and there is a perfect variety of indoor and outdoor spaces to eat, read a book, enjoy a glass/bottle of wine and relax. We spent a lot of time by the pool and it is a spectacular setting.
As others have mentioned, the driveway is an adventure, but after the first time we found it to be fun.
While the house was amazing, there were a few things that didn't work well for our group/family. Despite making a reservation for 12 (6 adults/6 kids) and providing names, ages and passport numbers, they were only expecting 10 and charged us extra. After sorting that out, we were greeted with tour of house and told of the things we and the kids should not do. We were then shown a large binder of rules that were sometime conflicting with our tour of rules (the house manager said we absolutely could not go in the garden while the book said it should be enjoyed). This set a tone upon arrival that caused a bit of stress within the group.
The last thing to be aware of is the constant care of the property, as the house manager starts cleaning and vacuuming around 7:30am, and there are regularly gardeners and grounds people maintaining the property so it's not always quiet or private.
Ultimately, despite the things mentioned above, we had an amazing time both in Lucca and the surrounding area and at the house. The setting is idyllic, the house is beautiful, and the pool is amazing.
