Villa Volpi

Pros: The location is undeniably the highlight. Driving through kilometers of olive groves to reach the hotel is a dream, and the view from the property is breathtaking. The pool area is well-maintained, and there is plenty of parking available. Cons: Unfortunately, the "dream" ended once we entered our attic room. Despite temperatures exceeding 35°C in August, the room was equipped only with an ancient, loud monoblock air conditioner. The real kicker? It only works when the key card is inserted. This meant the room turned into a literal oven while we were out, with the brick walls radiating heat well into the night. We spent seven nights choosing between sleep-depriving noise or unbearable heat. It turns out "rest" wasn't included in the price. While the common areas enjoy modern, silent split-unit ACs, the attic guests seem to be treated as an afterthought. This “necessary evil” mood was also reflected in the behavior of the owner, who was friendly at first, but then quickly seemed indifferent and uninterested. The on-site restaurant is decent but overpriced for what it offers. Be prepared for a language barrier: the staff speaks only Italian. If you’re unlucky, your request for a lemonade might result in a Limoncello—refreshing, sure, but not quite what you asked for. Verdict: If you enjoy 35-degree rooms and the sound of a jet engine while you sleep, the attic is for you. Otherwise, stay elsewhere or insist on a room in the lower floors.

Welcoming was poor, breakfast very succinct and repetitive. Coffee machine broke down, had to empty the coffee grounds ourselves. The room is good. Not at all warm

I stayed at this hotel one night with my girlfriend. Classic Tuscan location 10 minutes drive from Lucca. Stable held to perfection. Large and well ventilated double bedroom. Despite the 35 degrees outside, the room with air or open windows was very comfortable. Very characteristic also the outdoor pool with a remarkable view of the Tuscan hills. Unfortunately we could not stop for dinner, because of booking elsewhere; however, at breakfast nothing is missing. Lunch has a reduced menu but does not lose quality. Advice for those looking for a bit of tranquility and peace. Owner person way.
