Four of us (two couples) stayed at this lovely home for 31 days, enjoying Lucca and taking different day trips around Italy throughout the month. We had a rental car, so this location was absolutely ideal, as we had private parking right at the house. The house is so close to the walls of Lucca, that we were inside the walls within a five minute walk. Best of both worlds. We used the four bikes as well, to ride on the wall and enjoy the beautiful views. The house has all the conveniences of home for a long and comfortable stay; a fully stocked kitchen to prepare meals, washer and dryer, and plenty of space to spread out and get comfortable. My husband and I own a business and had to work while we were there, so I set up my computer at the dining room table and he set his up at the desk in the bedroom. That still gave our friends the living room, kitchen table, or bedroom to have their own spaces. Massimo always responded quickly whenever we had questions and he was helpful in so many ways. He and his wife helped us find a tennis club where we could play while we were there, a fitness center with a massage therapist, excellent restaurants, cooking classes, and many other tours whenever we asked for their advice and suggestions. They were accommodating and thoughtful hosts and helped make our visit to Italy a memorable one. We have invited them to stay with us at our home in the U.S., if they have the opportunity to travel here in the future.
