Charming Villa sleeping up to 8 guests, marvellous view, swimming pool. This charming converted monastery nestles in the hillside hamlet of San Pietro a Marcigliano, not far north of the city of Lucca. In the centuries it has become the main building of the estate surrounded by many ancient buildings as barns and houses for the workers. The setting is incomparable and the views are wonderful. This is a hidden part of Tuscany, timeless, unchanging and away from the tourist track. The Monastery was built about 1550 and has been owned by our family since 1792. It has been converted to a family home while retaining the vital architectural integrity of the original buildings. Around the monastery is the property where olive trees and wine yards are the main cultures. We produce olive oil and an excellent wine; the old cave is just on the ground floor of the main building.

What a view
We loved our few days here. It is huge and the view is unbelievable. Weather wasn’t the best sadly but we still have great evenings on the balcony looking at the view.

Dolce vita
Le monastère, superbement bien placé dans les hauteurs d’où nous avons une vue sur la plaine Toscane de Lucca.
Je vous laisse imaginer les super repas sur la terrasse que nous avons pu organiser.
À l’intérieur, le cadre est rustique, on imagine bien la vie de l'époque.
La piscine à été notre point de rafraîchissement, le lieu est splendide et parfaitement aménagé.
Je recommande cette location qui est magnifiquement bien située en Toscane.

A lovely unique property
Set up in the hills overlooking the plains, the Old Monastery is a huge unique property with shared pool. We were excellently looked after by the house manager who contacted us prior to our stay to make sure we knew where to go and to offer local information. The rooms are large and comfortable. The kitchen was equipped with everything we needed including two large fridges, washing machine and dishwasher. There are multiple hairdryers and very usefully, several travel adapters which we only found at the end. When we had any questions or issues, they were dealt with immediately. Keep the shutters closed to keep out the Tuscan heat and bring mossie spray. There’s a fabulous restaurant at the end of the drive- you might need to book as it gets very busy.

Tolle Unterkunft mit großartigem Blick
Wir hatten 4 wundervolle Tage hier. Die Küche ist top ausgestattet zum Kochen und der Ausblick ist fantastisch und wir haben gerne die Abende auf der Terasse verbracht. Der Pool war im Mai bereits offen und sehr erfrischend :D uns hat es sehr gut gefallen

Wonderful location with an amazing view
Absolutely beautiful villa with an amazing view of the Lucca area.
Huge kitchen that was well stocked with plates, glasses, utensils, etc.
Two fridges!
The one thing the kitchen absolutely needs though is a large pasta pot!
The beds and pillows were very comfortable. The rooms were large.
The pool area was great, given how warm it was during our stay. Even the pool bathroom had a great view of the valley.
The kids loved Sam, the donkey. They looked forward to his visits each morning so they could give him an apple or carrot.
It took a while for me to get used to the drive up to the villa. We just don’t have those kinds of roads in Canada!
Having said that, I would come back in a heartbeat (and a smaller car!).

Beautiful views & property
We had a fabulous stay, the property was absolutely beautiful, the views were stunning…it was clean and had everything we needed apart from some more bin bags and cleaning products would have been handy.
We didn’t realise the pool was shared with other guests staying next door but it wasn’t a problem. The pool was beautiful I think adding some new furniture would really make the area even more special.
The location was great and the near by ice cream shop & super market less than 10 mins drive away was brilliant. (Check for opening times though). The restaurant at the bottom of the drive way was great.
The roads are quite narrow but worth it to get to the property . The resident donkey was a real highlight. Would recommend this stunning place and hope to visit again. Make sure you have plenty of mosquito repellent as we didn’t come prepared for them and realised on the last day there were plug-ins for them that we hadn’t been told about. We drove to Florence, it took about an hour, Pisa was around 40mins drive and lucca about 30mins. We went on a day trip from lucca to cinque Terre that was absolutely beautiful definitely worth a trip if you have time. The location is great and easily accessible to all the beautiful towns. A wonderful stay and happy memories made thank you so much.

Lovely countryside getaway
Lots of space with a great view and the kids loved the pool. Our hosts were very supportive throughout the stay, and went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable. The location is a little isolated which is part of the attraction, but there is an excellent restaurant right next door. Overall a great experience, and very thankful for Maureen's help during our visit.

Fabulous Place!
We thoroughly enjoyed staying at this property & would go back in a heartbeat! Our hostess, Maureen, was the best. She was always quick to respond to our needs & questions and even served as our interpreter when needed. We used this as our base for a 2-week visit to Italy and couldn't have asked for a better location for day trips, as well as overnights to Rome & Bologna/Venice. We spent most of our time here on the balcony, enjoying the wonderful view. Though the kitchen is a little rustic, it is well-equipped & we still managed several gourmet meals. To reach the property you must travel a very narrow road with lots of precarious turns, so if you're planning to rent a car, make sure it's a small one! (We had a Jeep Renegade.) Osteria da Batano is right outside the entry gate & is one of the best restaurants we've ever been to. We enjoyed several meals there & highly recommend it. Everyone we met associated with this property could not have been nicer. If we ever return to Italy, this is definitely where we'd stay! 5 stars all around!

Breathtaking views in unique building
The monastery is very spacious and is well equipped for self catering. The pool is beautiful and the views from the balcony are wonderful.
The views come at a price, it takes quite a while to get to from the town at the bottom of the hill via car. However, there is a very good restaurant at the bottom of the drive which was useful!
We asked for a cot and highchair for our son which the hosts were happy to provide and saved us from bringing more than we needed on the flight.
The rubbish collection is quite complicated, we tried our best to get it right but could not find the right bag in the supermarket for residual waste, it would be useful if this were provided for guests. We would also recommend new pillows.
Overall though we loved the property, the host was very helpful and friendly and the location was stunning. We would stay again.

Fantastisk udsigt og balkon
Charmerende ombygget kloster med højt til loftet. To store fine dobbeltværelser samt 2 sammenhængende, mindre værelser, hvoraf det mindste til gengæld har direkte adgang til badeværelse. Flere af sengene er meget hårde.
Uovertruffen balkon med 180 graders udsigt mod syd ned over det smukke landskab ved Lucca, og en god spiseplads. Solsenge eller loungemøbler ville dog højne kvaliteten endnu mere.
Stort køkken, med nogle mangler, f.eks. skraldespande til den krævede affaldsortering samt poser til dette, kun det absolut nødvendige service, og der mangler et bord i arbejdshøjde. Men til gengæld med to køleskabe med tilhørende fryser, så også plads til at køle drikkevarer.
Swimmingpool ren og indbydende, og deles med en anden feriebolig, og tilhørende område har solsenge til alle og fantastisk udsigt.
Der er ikke aircon, men gulvventilatorer hjælper meget. Vi medbragte selv myggenet til vinduerne, så de kunne være åbne om natten. Vi var ikke voldsomt generet af myg, men der var også nogle få agressive stikfluer, især ved poolen.
Alt i alt et virkeligt dejlig sted til en familieferie i lavt gear i det dejlige Toscana, med mulighed for at køre til smukke Lucca eller op i bjergene.

Vous n’en aurez jamais assez de cette vue
La maison et son emplacement sont formidables. La vue qu’offre la terrasse du logement est à couper le souffle. Les aires communes sont spacieuses. Tout le logement était très propre, les lits bien faits. Il y avait aussi Sam, un âne affectueux qui a agrémenté de sa présence notre séjour. La piscine et les espaces qu’elle offre sont agréables, surtout avec la toilette extérieure! Nous avons également bien apprécié le bbq et y cuisiner avec une vue à couper le souffle. Le pain livré le matin apportait une touche de magie supplémentaire.
Dans les petits hics, il y avait le chien des gens qui habitent le logement à côté qui jappait et entrait dans notre logement. Les portes des salles de bain ne ferment pas bien ce qui peut nuire à l’intimité dans une grande famille. La troisième chambre n’est pas aussi spacieuse et confortable que les autres.
C’est sans hésiter que nous y retournerions!

Sehr schönes, altes Kloster
Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt in dem alten Gemäuer sehr genossen. Der Blick vom Balkon in die Weinberge und die Region um Lucca ist wunderschön.
Der Ort eignet sich ausgezeichnet für Ausflüge nach Lucca, Pisa und Florenz - auch das Meer ist nicht sehr weit. Wir hatten eine wunderschöne Woche und können die Unterkunft sehr empfehlen.

Traumhafter Ausblick
Der Ausblick vom Panoramabalkon ist unbezahlbar. Dafür muss man jedoch jedes Mal eine lange Fahrt durch teils enge und steile Sträßchen in Kauf nehmen. Im Haus fehlen definitiv Insektenschutzgitter gegen die Mückenplage. Das Ambiente in dem historischen Gemäuer ist auf jeden Fall etwas Besonderes.

Der fantastische Ausblick vom Balkon über das Tal von Lucca garantierte traumhafte Sommerabende. Das Monastero mit der großen „Klosterküche“ ist stilvoll und sehr charmant, die vier Schlafzimmer unterscheiden sich allerdings sehr in Größe und Ausgestaltung/Ausstattung. Herzlich wurden wir empfangen und ebenso herzlich nach einem tollen Urlaub auch wieder verabschiedet.
