This was a lovely family villa in a beautiful area of Italy. Amazing facilities and provisions, super clean, very roomy. A lovely garden for the day and a beautiful courtyard at the back to welcome the sun at breakfast. Gretje was very welcoming and helpful at all times - and the kids loved beautiful Grace the dog and the neighbours kittens! The children also loved the pool - and the town of Lucca is definitely one of our favourite places now in Italy! Only couple of things to watch out for - lots of mosquitos at night at this time of year (and it was very hot!); plus the local village had shut shop for their holidays - a bit of a shame as there would have been lots of lovely places to go to in walking distance otherwise. But we found a little gem locally called Il Circulino, with a lovely little bar and amazing home cooked food - new specials every night and very inexpensive. They even wrote the menu out for us in English!
