We are 7 couples, long time friends who dreamed of staying in an Italian villa as we toured beautiful Italy. This was a perfect "home base" from which we all did day trips to the surrounding towns and villages such as Lucca, Volterra, Florence, Lerici to name a few. Regarding the villa itself, the kitchen is large, with 2 refrigeratiors and 2 dishwashers. The bedrooms did not all have ensuite bathrooms but each bedroom certainly had a bathroom nearby. There is plenty of lovely outdoor space to enjoy breakfasts or happy hours. The pool is lovely although not heated. The manager is a call away and responded when we told her of an ant problem we were having. I highly recommend this villa if you are a group looking for a fabulous Italian getaway.
