What our customer's say...
Your recommendation to stay near Lucca, given the age and experience mix of the party, was spot on. The villa was wonderful and Alessandro welcoming and helpful. We would happily stay there again and would definitely both recommend you and hope to rent a villa through you again.
United Kingdom
We had a wonderful meal in Lucca at Buca Di S. Antonio from your suggestions and also in a local trattoria near the villa suggested by Alessandro. The written directions to find the villa were clear and when one car in our party got separated, it meant that they found the villa without hassle.
