We spent a really nice week with a group of friends at Laura’s villa. Bagni di Lucca is such a beautiful village. Especially the little vintage store quite next to the villa is so cute! The interior of the villa is super pretty and cozy, and we loved spending time just relaxing by the pool.Laura was a lovely host and super easy to communicate with. We had a great time, would love to come back, and highly recommend staying here!

Art. music and literature in the Tuscan hills

Not just a large and comfortable villa with refreshing pool, Casa Tolomei boasts a fascinating history. Sleep in the same room as famed poem Robert Browning, explore the hill top towns and villages of Tuscany and the wonderful walled Lucca is just down the road to wander through.

Historic Tuscan villa

We had a great week at Casa Tolomei. The house retains its traditional historic feel though benefits from an updated kitchen and bathrooms. We stayed during a particularly hot week so it was great to have the new pool to keep cool! The family really enjoyed the space of having ante-rooms to their bedrooms too. The hosts were helpful and responsive to our requests too! Many thanks.

The house was clean and reasonably well equipped and we were met by Giulia who showed us around when we arrived. The house has a lot of history and was likely once an elegant home but is now a little tired and in need of some maintenance (electrics and bathrooms need attention) and TLC. It has a well maintained pool.It is well located for a local supermarket, bars and cafes but the restaurant offering was poor. There are a number of good eating places within a short drive.Communication with the host was good.

Thanks for the review, Sara. We did our best to meet your demands, and we are not aware of any problems with electricity. As for the bathrooms, they are actually all quite new - we know there's one shower that has a small leaking at the base, but unfortunately we can resolve that issue only at the end of the season, otherwise the guests wouldn't be able to use it for several days. As for restaurants, there are several places at walking distance (at least 6), but of course we are not responsible for the variety of their offering. We are thankful for your stay, and appreciate that your group left the house in good order after your departure.

Pool was good but ladder was unsafe for any older personBed linen was on very poor quality side.Ripped doors, thin bedsheets & poor quality towels….Suggest attention be given to these items.Kitchen knives, glasses etc were limited and of poor quality.

Thank you for your review. We did do our best to accomodate your requests during your stay. The pool ladder is a standard one and we have quite a well equipped kitchen for a holiday home. We are not aware of any ripped door, unless someone has ripped them during their stay without notifying it. Unfortunately at the end of the season there might damages or missing items that we had no time to attend to. Thank you for your feedback.

Wunderbarer Italientripp

Eigentlich wollten wir auch ans Meer fahren, aber es hat allen so gut im Haus und am Pool gefallen, das wir nur zweimal nach Lucca gefahren sind. Ganz gut hat uns die zentrale Lage des Hauses innerhalb des Dorfes gefallen. Supermärkte, Bars und Restaurants konnten bequem zu Fuss erreicht werden. Mit ein Highlight war die wunderbare Terrasse vor der Küche, die kühl und abgeschirmt war und zu jeder Tageszeit ein Genuss war. Das Haus selbst ist zwar in die Jahre gekommen aber dabei sehr gemütlich und unglaublich geräumig. Wir können die Villa unbedingt weiter empfehlen.

Quirky character property in Bagni di Lucca

We loved the history of this villa, the location and the coolness of the house. I gave 3 stars for accuracy of description since we hadn't been told planning permission hadn't been given for the in ground swimming pool we had expected. There is a pool which is adequate for cooling off in and there is a fantastic communal pool complex 5 mins walk from the house. Furnishings were a bit tired but the building itself is fascinating, gracious rooms with high ceilings and loads of history Our bed was very comfortable and the bathrooms all very modern. Lovely being walking distance to all you need and 2 very good restaurants in the village, one literally next door. Great for exploring the region particularly by train as parking easy and free and train very cheap and reliable. Highly recommend Bagni Bernard, excellent massage and beautiful 1800s facilities.

Heaven is in Bagni di Lucca

Andrew and Laura are the warmest, kindest hosts you can imagine, and they are extremely knowledgeable about the region and the history of the house. The village is picturesque without being overly commercial—it’s still feels like a real place where people are living their lives, not catering to strangers, and yet you can find everything there for hiking, walking, dining, exploring, and simply enjoying the beautiful house and river.

Excellent family vacation place!

We had a magical time! A great place to stay. We spent a few days in Bagni di lucca and a few taking day trips around Tuscany. Drinking coffee on the cool Terrasse in the morning and jumping in the pool in the evening we’re our favorite moments! The hosts were spectacular!

Villa mit Charme

Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt, die Lage ist perfekt in der Ortschaft. Restaurants und Supermarkt sind zu Fuß erreichbar, Ausflugsziele sind ebenfalls in der näheren Umgebung vorhanden - hier sollte man jedoch ein Auto zur Verfügung haben. Die Vermieter sind sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Wir haben die Zeit dort sehr genossen. Vielen Dank

Lovely Home

Laura and Andy have a beautiful home in Bagni Di Lucca. They have worked diligently at restoring this historic property. We stayed for a week In September and loved the home, town and it’s environs. There were only 4 of us, so the living space was more than ample. Andy and Laura could not have been nicer. It is a beautiful spot in Italy, the perfect place to explore Tuscany. Besides the restaurants in the town, we enjoyed discovering out of the way restaurants not too far away. Also, the tourist office is across the street is a great place to get information on the region!

Beautiful villa full of history providing perfect mix of traditional culture & modern convenience.

Casa Tolomei is amazing! A beautiful villa, with amazing frescos both inside and out, and a rich history to match! It is perfectly located in the town so walking to shops, restaurants, bars, gelateria etc. is easy and convenient and it also has a lovely garden so you still feel that you are in the countryside. Although it is a historical building, the rooms are comfortable and the kitchen and bathrooms are modern and very nice. We stayed with 2 families- 4 adults and 5 kids ages 6-14, and had plenty of space and found it super liveable and comfortable. Laura and Andy are great hosts and made registration and check-in/check-out super easy, even though we had a few complications on our side during the booking process. They were very understanding and accommodating and made booking the holiday as enjoyable as the actual holiday itself. Everything was fantastic. Highly recommend it.
