The tiger mosquitos drove us nuts day and night, but that's an issue around Florence in this time a year. Overall, the house is gorgeous, full of history, the garden is big, the pool is clean and the people are very ,very kind and helpful.The pizza night that was organised was one in a million.The old furniture throughout the house fits with its style, but house is extremely messy. Full and messy cabinets The personal belongings of the owners are everywhere. The kitchen is the messiest of all and not very clean. With a little bit of Marie Kondo this house could be a 10.

We are a 3 generational family. We spent a great 10 days at the Villa. It’s a very large house, beautiful grounds with a pool. There was more than enough room for the 11 of us to spread out. We loved the dining room and the outdoor dining area. Paolo is a fantastic host. I supplied him with a shopping list for basics for our first days. He arranged a fantastic pizza and appy dinner for the first night. He took some of us on a great hike. Another day we went to his cousin’s winery for a tasting. We drank varieties of this wine our entire stay. The weather was very warm we spent hours at the pool. The kitchens (there are 3) have everything you’d ever need. Londa its self is small, 2 restaurants, a grocery store, bodega, vegetable store, pharmacy, butcher, general store, bar with deli and of course a delicious gelato shop. It’s a short walk down hill to the town centre and quite the hill coming home! There are larger towns within 10 minutes with lots of shopping and restaurants. Our vacation was great and we would visit Londa and a Paolo again!

The house was fabulous. We had an incredible time there. It's really nice that Paolo leaves London and stays close by so that if we need anything he is there to help. Especially rides from the train station. The pizza party was over the top. Thanks for everything Paolo.

Paola add this visit very special. Very attentive and so helpful. A dishwasher broke and was replaced the next day. A lovely location and very small pleasant village. Our expectations were high and they were exceeded.

Can't recommend this house, and host, enough; the villa, pool and location were perfect for our group of 3 families comprising 6 adults and 7 teenagers. Fabulous, labyrinthine, villa with all the facilities, privacy required and more. Beautiful and expansive gardens with pool with views across the surrounding hills and village. Paolo, our host, and his assistants were welcoming and always on hand to assist in arrangements when required. Londa is quiet but has great pizza restaurant which we wish we had discovered earlier and in easy reach of Florence by train. Other than one big shop on route didn't have to leave the village for groceries as has 2 adequate shops and a bar with food on offer. Altogether a wonderful week spent with great company in a great location.

A Fabulous Experience for Three Generations
A Fabulous Experience for Three Generations
Villa Luciano is a magnificent destination, idyllic in every sense of the word. Beginning with our host Paolo and staff, the entire experience was fabulous and we felt at home the entire time from the moment we arrived. Located in the Tuscan hills a short ride to Florence by train or car, the villa experience surpassed our wildest dreams. We were a family group of 13 from the US, three generations, all of whom were thrilled to be there. The pool and the interior of the villa were immaculate, with all the amenities and service imaginable. A sumptuous Italian meal was prepared for us by Cammelo and Francesca on our first evening, a great way to kick off a week of family fun. Thank you Paolo for providing a wonderful opportunity for all, especially for the children, who experienced their first trip to Italy.

We stayed at the villa for almost 3 weeks with my extended family, children grandchildren and friends. It’s a wonderful old house and the people of the village were great. It’s a great spot to experience an Italian lifestyle with great tourist spots like Florence, Siena, and many more just short drives away. The pictures on the website showing some of the features of the village are dated now which is why I gave that a 3. The old ladies are not there anymore as an example. But you must use the butcher and the local fruit and veg shop. Just take google translate with you! And the caretakers of the villa Francesca and Carmelo and absolutely wonderful. And the pool, so beautiful with great views, we spent most of our afternoons up there swimming and drinking the local Chianti, marvellous!
