Right in front of the villa's main entrance, the swimming pool terrace features elegant loungers and parasols on a smooth stone deck overlooking the countryside. Savour a delicious soak in the Tuscan Sun and plunge into the pool for a morning swim. Kindle the stone barbeque grill and enjoy an alfresco meal in the dining pavilion, paired with local wine.

Our extended family of 22, including an infant and two toddlers, stayed in this beautiful, well appointed villa in the hills above Lucca during the Christmas holiday. The villa was perfect for multiple couples / families as there were clusters of rooms with a common area located throughout the two story villa which allowed for privacy. Every room had its own bathroom as well. The home and rooms were beautifully decorated. The views and grounds were spectacular. The host and owner were extremely responsive to our questions and needs throughout our stay. The lovely historic town of Lucca was a short drive away. There were markets, restaurants and wineries near the villa as well. The indoor pool and sauna were well used by our group. The host provided many recommendations including a cooking class by Tamara done at the villa — it was a great experience for the group! Also I highly recommend the wine tour and lunch at a nearby local organic winery and olive oil farm at Frattoria Colle Verde. I highly recommend this Villa.

This is the third time we’ve rented Villa Valgiano for our Gunnell Innovation culinary tour of Tuscany and we plan to return again. It’s the perfect villa for a large group. Stunning views in all directions, the outdoor pool and indoor spa are spectacular, incredible kitchen and dining areas and the lemon house is beautiful. Being there makes you feel like you’re living in a movie. The cleaning service wasn’t this time. But other than that, everything was wonderful. Thank you again.

Our family of 22 including my 4 adult children, spouses and 12 grandchildren spent the most exciting time at Villa Valgiano for a week. The Villa was beautiful, the views boundless, the service unbelievable and the manager, Daniela Cetti was better than excellent helping us before, during and even after our week. It was delightful meeting the owner frequently. The chef we selected, was Tamara and she was superb along with other suggestions from Daniela. The last evening will remain forever as a fitting conclusion with entertainment and dining in the lemon room. what more can you ask for. One small recommendation-provide larger wastebaskets in the rooms. Beyond that - MAGNIFIQUE!!

We absolutely loved our stay at Villa Valgiano. The villa is perfect for a big group of family looking to connect and spend quality time together. A highlight of our trip was having Chef Alice prepare unbelievably delicious meals. Alice and her team created two beautiful evenings for our family and we are so grateful to them. The amenities were amazing and we particularly loved the magical outdoor space and the lemon house. Every bedroom was so comfortable and clean. The villa manager Daniela was very kind, communicative, and accommodating. The villa is close to many charming Tuscan towns, so we spent the days exploring. Also, the restaurants and wineries near the villa are fantastic. It was an incredible and once-in-a-lifetime experience!

We loved the Villa. With 24 people together, it was very comfortable. The kitchen and huge dining table were fantastic for big family meals. We used a local chef, Antonella, for the most fantastic dinners. If we were to come again, we would hire her for 2 meals per day as we spent a lot of time getting groceries to serve 24 people and the store was 20 minutes away. The Villa’s age means the hot water didn’t seem to always work and the beds weren’t the most comfortable, but that did not bother us. Our only concern would be the worry of having the owner on the property most days. He was watching and would report things he didn’t like that we were doing such as moving the furniture to accommodate our needs or forgetting to put pool umbrellas down at night and then the house manager would email us during our stay to remind us of rules. That created a little unnecessary stress during our vacation. In spite of that, it was just fantastic and the perfect venue for our daughter’s wedding. The views are simply incredible! This Villa will always hold a special place in our hearts and we hope to come back one day. Would absolutely recommend this for a family reunion or wedding venue.

We spent 4 nights here over Thanksgiving. There was plenty room for our 11 adults, 4 teens, and 6 littles. There are 2 TV rooms not really shown in the photos, between those and the lovely large dining room we had lots of space to gather. The kids enjoyed the indoor pool - it was bigger than the photos made it look. We had a chef for each night, it made it so much easier than finding somewhere to take us all or try and cook together. The quality of service and the prices for what we got was excellent value. The estimate for the heat (pay by cash) was very close. Highly recommend. Would be lovely if we could pay the heat on a card, but your estimate was very close so no real issue.

We embarked upon a trip of a life time for my entire family of eighteen individuals! The Villa Valgiano was more than we anticipated, very lovely and spacious as well. My family and I were very happy and pleased with the entire house! The Villa Valgiano was like a dream come true for the entire family, because of Covid-19 we had a three year delay, which was more than worth the wait. Our house host Ms. Chiara, was a blessing. She was extremely helpful and made our vacation trip wonderful, better in every way, thank you!!! The Taylor Family, We really enjoyed ourselves tremendously The washer and the dryer.
