Amazing experience!
Our stay at Home Hill Holiday was beyond amazing. The setting is incredible. The apartments are spacious, beautifully appointed, all equipped with full kitchens and luxurious bathrooms. The communal space with pool, bath house and full kitchen and large eating area made dining together easy, beautiful and relaxing. The pool area is breathtaking.
Everything has been thought of from pots and pans and cutting boards to olive oil, of course, and salt and pepper. The owners, Loredana and Alessando, are so gracious. The best pizza of the trip was had by the villa owner himself throwing a pizza party for all of us. And we were even able to make our American coffee while still having Classic Italian espresso.
I was really happy to have rented the whole villa with friends and family and have it all to ourselves. There's a great restaurant that uses a wood burning oven for their pizzas across the street and a gelateria very close as well. The two banks just next door and a small grocery market within walking distance make it easy to get what is needed with little effort. If you like to walk or hike, there are great paths into the mountains where you can see some historical villas and even go wine tasting. Rent a car or get car service and you are inside the city walls of Lucca in 10 minutes.
There is also lots to do beyond going to the beautiful walled city of a Lucca or lounging by Home Hill's incredible pool. Tanya, the property manager was amazing in arranging wine tours in Montecarlo, bringing in a private chef to cook for us one night which was one of the best meals of my life, and getting into Lucca to hear the Puccini opera in the main piazza.
The bottom line: this was an incredible, authentic and unique 2 week Tuscan get-away.
