Lovely family villa
We had a wonderful stay in this villa. Kitchen was very well stocked with crockery, utensils etc. We did miss not having a kettle although there was plenty machines for the coffee drinkers. We used the outside patio for bbq and eating. Pool and area was very clean. Enough bedrooms/bathrooms for 7 of us. Only small complaint is that we would have liked a couple of comfortable chairs in the lounge.

June in Tuscany
A perfect location for a family trip. Ver picturesque setting, spacious accommodation with a lovely large pool. Allowed us to visit Lucca, Pisa, Florence, San Gimignano and Riomaggiore as well as spend a day at each of Pinocchio Park and Piccolo Mondo water park.

A great villa
The villa was great, very clean, lots of space, air conditioning was super. The swimming pool was enjoyed by everyone ( kids ages 4-8 yrs), lovely outdoor space too. Temperature of the pool was good.
You need a car as the villa is about 15 mins from Lucca situated in the beautiful countryside. Great restaurant within a 1 km walk. Our host was brilliant and so responsive. Would recommend this property for a holiday in Tuscany.

Fantastic property. Great swimming pool. Clean and spacious especially the outdoor spaces.m
Good sized rooms and really spacious outdoor areas with plenty of places for us all to relax and eat together. We had everything we needed in a high spec villa. The location was a close drive to Lucca and Pisa and had a great Restaurant within walking distance. There was plenty or towels, plates etc and an adequate sized kitchen to prepare our meals.
Slight quibbles over the amount of electric you can use within the hire cost and over the mid week cleaning (the lady spoke Italian and we didn't so we didn't get the level of cleaning we expected).
Overall a great place for our family to get together, relax, swim, cook, go out for dinner and sleep comfortably. Would return again.

Great property in perfect location
The property is located in a quiet neighborhood but just 10min away from Lucca. The house and the pool are awesome. Great AC system which is quiet and not blowing. Huge garden. We had all the time great support by the property managers.

Perfect vacation! Wonderful house.
From the time we arrived, we were treated like family. Elisa and her staff are so nice and welcoming. They had so many suggestions on places to eat and sights to see with a wealth of information. I highly recommend staying here when visiting Lucca and other cities. Great central location.

Casa muito gostosa e bem conservada!
Passamos dias maravilhosos em Giava!
Elisa sempre muito simpática e solicita. Muito obrigada!
Achamos só que deveria ter uma flexibilidade maior no dia de saida, pois nosso voo era a noite, viajariamos mais de 26 horas até chegarmos em casa e tivemos que sair da casa pela manhã. Isso foi duro...
