Acerca de este alojamiento

Impresionante villa del siglo 18, con magníficas vistas y la piscina, 8 km de Lucca

Al Bastini es una hermosa casa de campo del siglo 18 con magníficas vistas. La casa es de estilo toscano tradicional con piedra local y terracota, techos altos con vigas de castaño y chimeneas. Se ha restaurado a un nivel muy alto con una mezcla perfecta de la antigüedad y las comodidades modernas. Las instalaciones incluyen aire acondicionado, Wi-Fi de banda ancha, vía satélite 50 'TV de plasma, DVD, mesa de billar y tenis de mesa. Situado en 7 acres de terrazas en pendiente suave con olivos y árboles frutales viejos, los jardines cuentan con parterres, jardines, una piscina climatizada de 10 x 5 metros de la piscina, y 3 fuera de las áreas de la alimentación, tanto en sol y sombra. Hay una logia, terraza con olor a jazmín con barbacoa de piedra, y una pérgola junto a la piscina glicinas cubierto, todas con vistas a las maravillosas vistas. Hay un amplio calidad sillas y tumbonas de jardín para la relajación. Consulte las "Reglas de la casa" para conocer nuestra política de cancelación, ya que ofrecemos reembolsos.

A sólo 15 minutos del centro de Lucca, Al Bastini está convenientemente ubicado en el idílico paisaje a poca distancia de las ciudades históricas de Pisa, Florencia y Siena.

A pocos minutos de distancia en coche, tiendas y restaurantes en el pueblo de San Macario in Piano. A 5 minutos de distancia hay 3 grandes supermercados y en otros 5 minutos, se llega en Lucca. Tanto el aeropuerto de Pisa y la costa de Versilia se puede llegar en 30 minutos.

Toscana y Umbría están llenas de lugares para ver: los más obvios son Florencia (1 hora en coche), Siena (1,5 horas) y San Gimignano (2 horas).

Las elegantes localidades costeras de Viareggio y Forte dei Marmi están a 30 minutos. También puede visitar Lerici, en la costa, un lugar pintoresco con impresionantes vistas, desde donde se puede conseguir a un corto viaje en barco a Portavenere y disfrutar de los encantadores restaurantes de marisco. Nuevamente en la costa están Cinque Terre, cinco pueblos costeros encantadores, todos conectados por tren, bote o pie y que bien merecen una visita.

Para un viaje corto, vale la pena ir al elegante Montecatini (30 minutos) una ciudad balneario (pero no usar pantalones cortos, ya que no se le permitirá a los baños). Usted puede tomar el ferrocarril (o un taxi!O conducir usted mismo) hasta la antigua aldea de la montaña que es muy bonito. Un lugar alternativo para el almuerzo es Montecarlo (20 min) o Vinci (hogar de Leonardo), que, además de algunos restaurantes muy buenos, tiene un museo fascinante, con escala hasta modelos de todos sus inventos y posters de sus obras.

Puccini nació en Lucca y la antigua basílica de San Giovanni in Lucca tiene recitales diarios de su música. También hay un aire libre festival de ópera de Puccini anual thoughout julio y agosto en la cercana Torre del Lago.

También vale la pena un viaje es seguir el rastro de Piero della Francesca (como en el libro de John Mortimer arrendamiento-Verano John Mortimer también nos alojamos en el Al Bastini) que puede iniciar en Arezzo (hermosa ciudad, unidad 1. 5 horas ') y continuar cerca de San Sepulcro y Monterchi, para ver otros ejemplos de su obra al fresco impresionante. Si tiene tiempo, cuando en esa zona, Asís y Perugia también están bien merece una visita. Volterra es una hermosa ciudad en la cima vale la pena una visita.

Para las actividades deportivas: hay algunos campos de golf dentro de una hora, clubes de tenis, montar a caballo, pesca, parapente, montañismo y hermosos paseos están disponibles en la zona.

A wonderfully relaxing peaceful escape yet only a short drive into the historic walled city of Lucca, with it’s very good restaurants and abundance of things to see. We had amazing weather (29) for September so made excellent use of the beautiful pool. Tanya (villa manager) was incredibly helpful and organised a private chef (Fabrizio excellent) for an evening of absolutely delicious authentic Tuscan fare and our taxi on another evening into Lucca. Al Bastini was everything we’d hoped for and more!! Hoping to return one day!

This property is absolutely stunning! My family of 8 stayed for a week and enjoyed everything about this home. The main floor is set up perfectly for spending time together. We used the huge, well equipped kitchen to cook many of our own meals but we also enjoyed having 2 different chefs come to cook for us as well. One night we made pizzas in the outdoor pizza oven using fresh herbs from the garden. The views from the outdoor dining area were incredible!One of our favorite things about this property was the pool. It was the perfect temperature, well maintained and surrounded by beautiful landscaping. The gardener is amazing!The location of this property is terrific. We rented cars and could easily drive to grocery stores, restaurants, wineries and to explore the nearby city of Lucca. We also drove to the train station to take a train to Cinque Terre for the day.The staff was friendly, professional and made sure we had everything we needed. Check in was easy, taxis were arranged when needed, rental cars were delivered to the villa and communication was excellent. The handbook that was provided answered every question we had and was full of great suggestions about places to visit and things to do.All 8 of us loved this property. It had something for everyone and was so spacious. One week was not enough. I hope we can return someday!

Al Bastini

Family and friends gathered at Al Bastini to explore the Lucca region. The Villa was wonderfully appointed and very comfortable. The pool was a big hit with the grandkids and the outdoor wood fired BBQ was used multiple times throughout the week. The owners have a great collection of books that cover Tuscany and Italian cooking. I wish I could have stayed a month so I could sit and read and gaze over the spectacular views. The local hosts were very helpful and accessible. Highly recommended. A very comfortable Tuscan villa with a great kitchen and multiple outdoor areas to sit and relax and enjoy a moment of quiet with friends and family.

We didn’t want to leave ...!

The house is charming, comfortable, with everything you could want for a perfect stay. The outside area is beautiful with a great pool and beautiful views. Our family of 10—3 generations—had plenty of space. The owner was welcoming and helpful sending lots of information about the Lucca area before our stay. Easy day trips from this location. The time went very quickly and we all had such a good time we were sorry we didn’t book a second week. You won’t be disappointed, the house is even better than it looks on HomeAway.

Fabulous holiday in the heart of Tuscany

A lovely, lovely house with so much space and amenities. Tremendous views particularly in the evening as the sun sets. We loved eating in the Loggia after early evening drinks outside with some late night snooker and swimming. It's very quiet for sleeping at nights and the kitchen is both beautiful and well thought through including 2 dishwashers! It's definitely worth making use of the local chefs. We were surprised how quick it was from Pisa airport and Lucca has a lot to offer with the walk around the walls a must and some fabulous restaurants. Pisa and Florence aren't too far for day visits. All in all a superb place to stay. It must be best in class.

Location, location, location

Our first trip to Tuscany and what a place to stay! The villa and location are outstanding in every sense. The view from the property is stunning: a classic Italian scene; but it is the quietness of the wooded valley that makes it a very special place. The pool is another striking feature- it is large and set in a beautiful position within the garden. The villa itself is stylish and comfortable. The newly refurbished kitchen is outstanding- with every appliance/gadget on hand for foodies wanting to cook for themselves or for visiting chefs. We had amazing meals cooked for us by Morena and Fabrizio- both highly recommended. Finally, the property's location close to the fascinating historic town of Lucca and only half an hour from the coast makes this villa a not-to-be missed destination!

Overall fantastic

Not much to add to the other great reviews! Place and location is amazing so long as you don’t mind a hilly curvy drive - and I happen to. My one qualm, and it did make a significant difference during our 2 week stay, is the mattress quality. 2-3 of the upstairs mattresses are decent, however the downstairs beds have mattresses to be ashamed of. You can literally feel individual springs through them causing pressure points uncomfortable sleep throughout the night.

Luxurious, peaceful retreat!

Located in tranquil woodland surroundings, this is an ideal destination for your holiday. Lucca is just a short drive away, offering numerous excellent dining options and plenty of attractions. Exploring the ancient city walls is a must-do activity, either walking or hiring a bicycle! Lucca, being the birthplace of Puccini, hosts various opera festivals, making it a paradise for music enthusiasts. Be sure to check out the host's recommendations for local village butchers, a restaurant, a winery, and an ice cream parlour. We enjoyed a delicious cordon bleu meal prepared by the Villa's highly recommended in-house chef, thanks to the well-equipped modern kitchen! The swimming pool offers a serene space for leisurely exercise and sunbathing, boasting stunning views of the lush valley. We eagerly anticipate our next visit to this Tuscan paradise!

One week is not long enough

We spent a week at Al Bastini and we wish we could have stayed longer. The location is perfect and the views are fabulous. The house had a great layout for our family of 4 along with 3 of our adult friends. We took daytrips from the house, but also enjoyed just staying at the house to swim or play ping pong. The kitchen is fantastic and through the management we booked chef Morena to prepare dinner for us one night. Morena and the food were so amazing, that we immediately asked her to come back the next night. Our only regret, was not booking Morena to prepare dinner every night. We did have an issue with the downstairs bedroom air conditioning not working, but management immediately responded to my message and had a technician out the next day to try and resolve the issue. A big thank you to Alex and Tanya for their help and great communication. I highly recommend staying at Al Bastini, and we definitely plan on going back.

Perfect holiday villa

Our Al Bastini stay was a dream. With awe-inspiring views, the villa’s expansive terraces became havens for relaxation. The rooms embody spacious elegance and local charm, blending modern comfort with countryside aesthetics. The newly renovated kitchen (with dual dishwashers and fridges) exceeded expectations for food enthusiasts like us. Outdoor BBQ and pizza oven experiences, courtesy of Chef Fabrizio, were absolute highlights. Thanks to gardener Thomas, the beautifully maintained garden's fresh produce added authenticity to our meals: the kids loved picking ripe tomatoes, fragrant herbs, and small zucchinis. The saltwater pool was the epitome of relaxation: we spent countless hours floating, reading, and enjoying the ambiance. Al Bastini's standout was great service: Alex, Iris, and Tanya ensured smooth reservations, check-in/out, and prompt assistance. Our stay was flawless. Seeking beauty, comfort, and tranquility? Al Bastini is your haven.

Absolutely wonderful holiday

We were a family of 8 adults and two small children and Al Bastini was magical for everyone. The house was very comfortable and spacious with stunning views over the hills. Everyone is still talking of evenings on the terrace drinking very inexpensive prosecco with a gentle cooling breeze. Les the owner was always very helpful and nothing was too mch trouble. He even arranged for lasagnes to be in the fridge so we didn't have to worry about food as soon as we arrived. There is a very good Co-op nearby and an excellent butcher in the village. The pool is excellent, the three years old learnt to swim, and in the evenings there were table tennis tournaments! Lucca is close by and there is a good bus service to Florence. Everyone loved Al Bastini and there are already plans to go back soon. A fantastic memory, thanks Les, your house needs more than 5 stars!

Amazing vacation in Tuscany!

We are a group of 10 friends who travel together often and planned a summer trip to Tuscany to celebrate some milestone birthdays. We spent quite some time researching homes before landing on Al Bastini for its incredible views, convenient location in Lucca, privacy, ample space, but most importantly air conditioning and swimming pool for August! The home and the vacation overall were pretty close to perfect. The house manager was an incredible help to us as we were asking questions about the villa, planning day trips, and renting cars. She emphasized what a perfect location Lucca is, and she was right! We were able to discover some of Lucca and also take day (or partial day) trips to Pisa, the Puccini Festival, Cinque Terre, Chianti, and the beach. Luckily we also had time at the house - to enjoy the pool, cook in the beautiful kitchen, have a private chef cook us dinner and another make pizza for us in the outdoor pizza oven. Our only complaint is that maybe we should have booked two weeks instead of one! Thank you Al Bastini, we hope to see you again soon!

Fabulous stay

What a fabulous week we had at Al Bastini. It is a beautiful, private and secluded property with incredible views and everything you could wish for in a holiday property. We have rented many holiday villas before and have often found that the interiors do not match the outside space in terms of style and quality - this is not the case at Al Bastini where everything is beautifully appointed. We felt instantly relaxed here. The villa is perfect for a family holiday with many areas inside and out where you can find your own space but also to come together for family meals. We loved the terraces and loggia and ate all of our meals outside. Whilst the weather wasn’t as kind to us as we’d hoped we still managed to fit in some time by the wonderful swimming pool which has great loungers and lots of space. We found it hard to leave the villa and its wonderfully peaceful surroundings in the day but when we did want to explore further afield the journey to Lucca takes only around 15 minutes by car. There is a small village closer to the villa which has a great little restaurant and a lovely ice-cream shop (also sells the most amazing cakes)!) We appreciated all the recommendations that we received prior to our stay for restaurants and places to visit - we tried many and were delighted by them all. We hope they we can return to Al Bastini in future and thoroughly recommend it for a fabulous holiday in Tuscany.

Exceeded Expecations

Les, your home was just spectacular!! Where do I begin....The villa was much more than we had expected, it's stunningly beautiful nestled on a hillside with breathtaking views. Old charm with modern convivences, spotless with ample room for all of us ( 9 people). Our favorite spot was the loggia where we would start each morning with coffee and breakfast then end each night with a glass of wine. The pool was refreshing as the temperatures were in the 90 each day. Our party of nine had such a wonderful stay we will be taking about it for years to come. Great location we visited Florence, Sienna, Cinque Terre, San Gimignano and Lucca. A special thank you to Alex for assisting us with booking a wine tour, a chef and answering all of my many questions, she was a pleasure to work with. Morena our chef for one evening was just superb. We all wished we could have stayed longer. Thank you so much for your hospitality and sharing your home with us as it truly made our trip to Italy that more special. Ciao, Cheryl

Stunning Location and Beautiful Rustic Villa

Al Bastini is a spacious well equipped villa, it benefits from a fantastic private pool and several areas to relax and enjoy stunning views of the outstanding beauty of the area. The additional benefits of the games room with billiard table and outdoor table tennis, grand piano in the lobby, added to making the overall stay very memorable. (We are fortunate enough to have talented pianists in our family members.) Al Bastini is in need of a little refurbishment, however, this said there is everything you could possibly need for your stay. We used the services of a chef for one of our evenings, organised by Tanya the Property Manager. We selected a four course menu for the 10 of us, the meal was delicious, quality ingredients used for everything, and we can highly recommend this option. The road up to the villa is a slight challenge, so arrive in daylight if possible as negotiating this in the dark is not to be recommended. The property is ideally set to visit a number of interesting locations but due to COVID at the time of our holiday we spent our time in our family bubble at the villa. Due to this we cannot provide feedback on these local places of interest or the beach. There are plenty of places to shop in the nearby town of Lucca the largest supermarket being the Co-Op. The manager and owner of this property could not have been more helpful throughout the entire booking process, keeping in touch via e-mail answering queries etc, so a big thank you to Alex. We wish Al Bastini well for the future and say thanks for a wonderful family holiday.

Great location for exploring Tuscany

We enjoyed our stay at this spacious villa and would recommend it to others, despite a few negatives. Pros: The location (10 minutes outside Lucca, a great city in and of itself and to use as a base for exploring Tuscany), the grounds are immaculate, and the view is sublime. We loved the pool and the excellent air conditioning in the bedrooms and living room, as the weather was very hot during our stay. The outdoor eating area was great (bring bug spray!), right next to the kitchen and with a wonderful view. Plenty of space for our party of 8 (4 adults, and 4 teens), with 6 bedrooms and 4 full baths. The pool table and ping pong table were very fun. Kitchen is functional and well equipped; we made dinner several nights and had a chef come one night for a pizza making lesson. The communication with the on-site manager and thru VRBo was excellent, making check-in and check-out easy. They provided helpful suggestions for activities and made reservations for us. The cons: the villa was burglarized during our stay, resulting in the loss of a watch and some jewelry. We realize this wasn't the fault of the owners but it was distressing, to say the least. The house manager wasn't particularly sympathetic t start, but she later helpfully went to the police station with us and the owners contacted us directly to demonstrate their concern. Other more minor issues: the 1/2 mile driveway up to the villa is very steep and twisty; it is challenging at night or with a manual car and would be very tough in winter. The bathrooms needed some work (clogged drain in master, for example). But overall we had a very good time at this villa and would recommend it.

Property has BEDBUGS. Flippant response from owner.

We came home with BEDBUGS and the owner was the most concerned with my review. I woke up one morning in this villa with bites all over me. Two others with us had bites too. I went to my dermatologist the very next day after our return. She thought they were bedbug bites. I called an exterminator and scheduled an inspection. I texted the property manager and she said they must be mosquito bites. She said she had an inspection done and there were no bedbugs. I came to find out that her inspection was done by the cleaning staff! They are not trained professionals and don't know what to look for. They come out at night to feed and then they go into hiding places. Some people show the bite marks and other people show no signs at all AND it can take up to ten days for the bites to even show up on your skin. I was so lucky to have such a severe reaction as that prompted me to go to the doctor and then call the exterminator. The exterminator came and we did have bedbugs. I had to pack up my entire house contents into black bags, seal them with duct tape and put them in my backyard in the high heat so any bedbugs that may be on my things would die as they do in high temperatures. On the day of treatment, we had to leave the house and after they finished treatment, we had to wait four hours before we could return home. We were having a heatwave in Atlanta and the temperature got up to 99 degrees that day and my cat had to be locked outside in the backyard for the whole day. I now have to wait a couple of weeks for them to come back and do another inspection to make sure they got them all before I bring all of my stuff back inside and unpack. I told this to the house manager and she said that they disinfect the bedding/mattress. I received an email from the property owner and he reiterated that my bites are from mosquitos. He offered me 500 euros to leave a positive review. Their lack of concern was shocking. I implored him to have the house inspected by an exterminator. I told him my main concern was future guests taking them home with them as we did. He seemed more interested in why the exterminators were going to such lengths and that in the Uk, exterminators don't put you through that. His flippancy was overwhelming. He started each email out with "without prejudice" to protect himself. I have no interest in suing or in his offer of 500 euros. I simply wanted the problem at the villa resolved. I have no idea if they are taking the proper steps.

La Dolce Vita!

We are so grateful to have celebrated our first wedding anniversary at Al Bastini, which offers a quintessential Tuscan experience that exceeded even our wildest expectations. Nestled into a wooded hillside, Al Bastini has the most breathtaking panoramic views which are both unspoilt and private. We were left speechless when first stepping onto the terrace, and we continued to be wowed each and everyday as the sky changed from blues, to pinks and reds in the evening and then became littered with stars in the night sky. Opening the shutters every morning to this view was a treat in itself. We opted to spend most of our time lazing by the private pool which provided the perfect relief from the late summer sunshine. There would be ample space for 10 to swim and sunbathe, so for just two of us it was a very special and secluded treat. Many evenings were spent on the terrace, or loggia, whiling away the hours watching the sunset with a glass of wine in hand. On occasion we made use of the beautifully crafted outdoor barbecue, and pizza oven. Al Bastini is well located, with local restaurants, gelaterias and supermarkets just a few minutes away by car. The beautiful medieval town of Lucca is 15 minutes away and was a daily destination for lunch, dinner or drinks. We fell in love with the town, with its cobbled streets, medieval walls and eclectic shops. We were reluctant to leave the serene surroundings of Bastini, but ventured by car to the hilltop town of San Gigmiano, Siena, and the Tuscan capital, Florence, by train from Lucca. All are well worth a visit, if you can drag yourself away from the house and pool! Bastini provides the perfect base for exploring. To complete our experience we enjoyed privately cooked dinners from two of the chefs available to hire via the property managers. Morena and Fabrizio treated us to the most impeccable service and exquisite cuisine, and to our favourite, tiramisu! On the rare occasion the weather was inclement, the indoor facilities of the house were more than sufficient entertainment. Whether watching the vast array of satellite TV channels on the comfy sofas in the living room or playing snooker/pool with a late night aperitif, we were not left wanting. Italian’s have a phrase, ‘la dolce vita’ which loosely translates to ‘the good life’ and, after the past two weeks stay at Bastini, we can fully appreciate and understand it’s meaning. Alla Prossima!

Perfect holiday villa

We loved our stay at Al Bastini. The views are stunning and the pool is the perfect place to relax on a hot day. Rooms were comfortable and the snooker table was great fun! It is only a short drive to the attractive historic town of Lucca and in the heart of the Tuscan wine region so plenty to do when we wanted to leave the comfort of Al Bastini. A wonderful trip that we hope to repeat in the future!
