Villa Renaissance is a spectacular, grand villa situated in a gorgeous location and only a short drive from the ancient walled city of Lucca. 15 friends from around the world - New Zealand, USA, UK, Canada, the Netherlands, the Maldives- gathered for a week of celebration, relaxation, good food and wine, and we could not have asked for a more beautiful setting. It was a magic week under a clear blue Tuscan sky. The villa is generous in size and amenities and the grounds are private, extensive and charming. Its situation adjacent to the vineyard and restaurant were a bonus as we both ate at the restaurant and had a delicious lunch catered by their kitchen. Their wines were also of excellent quality. We found Lisa and her team at Lucca Apartments and Villas to be highly professional, friendly and helpful, and the staff at Fattoria Sardi lovely to deal with when arranging our celebratory meals. Everything was perfection.
It would be carping to criticise anything about Villa Renaissance because it is all so beautiful however there were a couple of minor issues with locks not working properly on two bathrooms- the Jack and Jill bathroom on the ground floor and the poolside bathroom. I am sure that these have been rectified after our visit.
