Review for stay from 12 July 2025 to 19 July 2025
This was our first family holiday with the grandkids ( 4 year old, 18 month old and a 7 month old) and this villa ticked all the boxes - good size pool not too close to villa, proximity to Lucca and the airport and plenty of bathrooms. Our daily routine with young kids settled in quickly and easily as there was the Esselunga supermarket ( 10 mins drive) which became a daily visit, a garden centre/DIY ( 5 mins drive) for any bbq essentials and a great steak family oriented restaurant El Paso ( 10 mins drive). The swimming pool was a hit for adults and kids especially when it gets really hot in the afternoon. Thankfully all the rooms are equipped with efficient air conditioning for the night ( extras) and the wooden shutters on the windows help keep the heat out too. The beds were very comfortable ( mattresses on the firm side) and they come with mosquito netting which was indispensable. There is much higher mosquito activity being in the countryside in Italy, and thankfully we managed this after a visit to Esselunga for sprays and electric pest repellant.
The kitchen deserves a mention as we ended up cooking more than we planned. Whilst it is on the small side, it is equipped with a good electric oven, gas stove and a dishwasher. It has a great range of stainless steel pots and pans and is much appreciated by all who ends up cooking. I was amazed at the choices of plates, glasses and serving platters!
Highly recommend to anyone with small kids and families who are happy to do their own cooking. When we are not cooking in the kitchen, we were using the barbecue every other day.
My only 2 suggestions for improvement would be to provide more shade outside in the seating area. The existing seating/eating area is located right outside the downstairs bedroom windows. Since we prefer to have kids sleeping on the ground floor, this meant we had to keep the noise down during their afternoon nap time and bedtime. If the roof can be extended towards the opposite end ( outside the internal dining area), another table seating area can be added which is much further away from the ground floor bedrooms. Also, an outdoor electric insect zapper would be much appreciated.
Final note on the staff who have been of great assistance.....Barbara from Easy reserve who went out of her way to help me sort out my motorway ticket, Filippo and Anna who were both amazing at handling our requests at the villa.
PS: There is a playroom upstairs with plenty of toys which will keep ...
