Lovely property ideal for group of friends or family
We rented the home for a family holiday and ideal to have 4 rooms each with bathroom. The host was excellent and provided tips on where to eat and explore. Nice pool and BBQ areas. The property has a large indoor terrace with views of the river and valley. This is a quiet little town but with good train link nearby to travel more widely although a car is a bonus for shopping etc. The property does have a lot of steps so not for anyone unstable or elderly. Overall we loved our week and would recommend.

The villa was wonderful and very spacious
We had a great experience at Villa rosalena and our host Rod was simply delightful, kind and helpful always. There are many stairs to get to villa. But worth it when you arrive. I would highly recommend this stay. And thank you Rod for making our girls trip perfect.

Fantastic!
Fantastic break in a beautiful house. The rooms are spacious and light and is such a great place to relax either on the terrace, by the pool or in the garden. Rod our host was so accommodating and friendly. The welcome pack was very generous and full of useful and gorgeous local fayre. Loads of local knowledge and helpful advice too. We would definitely recommended staying and would love to rebook. There are great local restaurants with walking distance, beautiful views and lots to do. The river is great to wander in and Pisa is an hour or so by train. Thank you again Rod!

A beautiful property with loads of character and charm.
This was a super place to stay. With sun deck, plunge pool and beautiful loggia, all overlooking the delightful river, it was difficult to drag ourselves away. But the charming villages and the proximity to Lucca and Pisa made day trips well worth it.
There is a great BBQ area if you weren't in the mood for eating out, but also many quality restaurants and trattorias.
Our hosts made our trip even better providing useful local knowledge and information. Rod was on hand for any questions or emergencies(we broke a shelf!) but we never felt that he was intruding.
We cannot recommend this villa highly enough.

Lovely views, overlooking beautiful villas, interesting buildings and the river Valley.
Rod met us as we arrived late and made sure we got installed safely and easily. The wine and food set out for our welcome was really appreciated and a nice touch.
Villa Rosalena is spacious and clean and has many interesting features. All the mod cons, and every bedroom an ensuite. It was very cosy and we'll miss waking to the beautiful vistas. Really good spot to explore this part of Tuscany. Make sure you take time to walk in both directions from the villa because there's lots of places nearby worth a look.

Four beautiful days in late December
We had four wonderful days in this beautiful house in Bagni di Lucca. The apartment was spacious and charming and we lacked nothing. The location is great and the view of the river valley magnificent.
The host was very helpful (and quick in responding) in all communication throughout.
We warmly recommend this place!

Hospitality and environment
We booked the villa with three friends and had a marvellous time. Everything worked very well at the villa , the view was breathtaking by day and night. Even the weather was in our favour.
We did many trips to other cities and profited from Ron’s tips on dinner locations.
