After a week of sight-seeing in Rome this villa near Lucca was exactly what we needed. Having never been to Italy, we were not familiar with the area/region but after a week and a half here we decided it was the perfect Tuscan location; day trips to Florence, Sienna and Pisa (not to mention others). It is close to the coast, close to shopping, close to vineyards and even cooking classes. The villa was exactly as Stefania, the owner, has advertised it; everything worked perfectly and we did not have any problems with anything in the house. Also, to note the owner was extremely accommodating and available to us during our entire stay, which was important to us b/c we were traveling with our 3 small children. The villa sits on almost an acre of land so there is plenty of room to exercise, lounge by the pool in the afternoon sun, or watch your kids climb olive trees. Out time spent here was unforgettable and we have already talked about returning with our parents for a holiday!

Villa "Pennechio" is a great place for a family with school age children: a large garden with a pool, enough rooms inside a house and a good location to visit towns, mountains and sea side by car. The owner Stefania is most kind and helpful. She gave us any information we asked. Also, she arranged us an unforgettable, tasty 7 course supper in the villa "Pennecchio" by asking for two professional cooks to come to cook for us. Thanks Paola and Anna! The stay in villa Pennechio was one of the best accommodations we have ever had in Italy.

We couldn't have asked for a better place to spend a week in the region. The villa was excellent, as advertised, and well-kept. The grounds are relaxing and beautiful. The covered pergala is a great place to relax and watch the sun set. The location is perfect for day trips to Pisa, Lucca, Cinque Terre and even Florence. There are several excellent dining experiences within 10-15 minutes of the villa. The villa owner was very accommodating, and even arranged for a professional chef to come to the villa and cook us a wonderful dinner (highy recommended). We would definitely recommend this property to others who want a relaxing, strategic location in the Tuscany region.

We loved our Villa. Pool,gardens and home were professionally kept. Close to Pisa,Florence and Cinque Terre. Stefania (who lives nearby) was friendly and very helpful with concerns. Tuscan candlelit evenings in the gazebo were magical. Very comfortable for 2 couples. Would happily stay at this villa again.

The villa is beautiful, clean and well kept. I loved the historical building and the grounds. It's not a place to say without a car as you are in the country, not near stores or restaurants. Stefania is charming, warm and helpful. She lives near the Villa and is helpful with your needs. She's someone you want to be friends with forever. My only recommendation is getting to the villa. Our flight was late so we arrived when it was dark and couldn't find the home with the directions that come on the website. I would recommend that the owner write the directions more clearly and have her meet you at a specified location on the main road, driving you to the home. We didn't have a GPS with us.

Good accommodation, exactly as described, in a great location. The garden really is huge and the pool above average size for a private property. Well-equipped both outside - sunbeds etc - and inside - plenty of kitchen utensils, crockery etc. Perfect for visiting Lucca, Florence and the Versilian beaches. A real highlight for us was the very grand aristocratic Luccan villas and gardens, all within a 10 minute drive, which are open to the public and absolutely stunning. Stefania is extremely professional and did everything to ensure that we were happy - thank you!

We look back at a wonderful holiday in villa "Pennechio" in Tuscany. Especially the large, fenced garden with swimming pool combined with a beatiful surrounding view (the mountains and city of Lucca) made it a true outstanding experience for us as well as our 3 and 6 year old kids. The property is central located allowing many day trips into Tuscany (Lucca, Pisa, ViaReggio, Forte dei Marmi,Chianti, Siena, Florence etc). Owner Stefania is a very kind and warm personality with a great sense for service. She has turned this property into a beatiful place where we easily could stay for months ...

Four of us came from the states to stay for a week, and it was a great experience. Stephania greeted us with robust enthusiasm and checked on us several times during the week to make sure all was OK. The location is superb, and we visited Lucca, the Cinqueterra, Barga, Florence, San Gimignano, and Montecatini Alto - all within a few hours drive or train ride. The accommodations were clean and the kitchen set-up was great for cooking. However, the pergola was the best place for all of us to sit quietly wih our morning cafe or our evening wine, looking out over the mountains beyond Lucca and enjoying the cool evening after a brief swim. We would definitely go back, and Stephania would once again welcome us with flowing hospitality - as did almost every Italian, Thanks for a wonderful week of touring northern Tuscany and sitting quietly with old friends.

A Great Week at "Villa Penecchio". Am sitting here writing this wishing we were back in Italy. The week spent at the villa was one we will remember for a long time. It was in a great location outside of Lucca, but an easy drive to Florence, Pisa, Viareggio, Cinque Terra (La Spezia), and Prato - where we made day trips during the week we were there. There are so many 16th century villas (mansions) within a few kilometers drive of the house - we purposely drove around aimlessly exploring, and would stop in and visit or just to 'gawk' through the gates. There also are many wine and olive vineyards to visit. We stopped in one and got a private tour of the olive oil process and bought some organic oil to bring home. Stefania is so sweet, and goes out of her way to ensure you have a great stay. The villa used to be a cow barn that she convered to a house, which looks just like the pictures posted online. Everyone was glad there were screens on the windows to keep the flies and bees out. The bedrooms are air conditioned which we used a few nights that were a bit warm. There was a problem with the water and within 30 minutes of calling Stefania, she was at the house with a plumber who immediately fixed it. We highly recommend Villa Penecchio!

We found a beautiful holiday villa from Tuscany ! We visited in Stefania's house on May 2011. Our group contained 4 adults and 3 kids (1, 3 and 3 years old). The house was perfect for our purposes. Bedrooms were big enough and Stefania kindly arranged us a baby cot. Kitchen was equipped well and again, Stefania kindly arranged us two high chairs, one to kitchen and one to the garden. We cooked pretty much ourselves. All machines worked OK and it was very easy and professional co-operate with Stefania. She also gave us good information about services in Lucca. The house is pretty and clean and the garden - it is beautiful! And it feels even bigger than one can imaging when watching pictures. Also the near surroundings are very much worth of seeing.
