About this villa rental

Casa Mennone is a magnificent holiday villa in an elevated, quiet, rural location near Lucca, Tuscany, with spectacular views across the plain and sun from dawn to dusk.

For centuries the farmers who lived here grew corn, grapes and olives on the surrounding land, for local aristocratic families.

The expansive garden has a circular saltwater pool, sun loungers, large children’s play area, ample shade, spa hot tub, barbecue and wood fired pizza oven.

The house is thoughtfully decorated, comfortably furnished and well equipped. Quiet air conditioning in every room, fast Wi-Fi, refrigerator with ice-maker, coffee machine, bar and a veranda for alfresco dining.

Laid out to accommodate large family groups, there’s plenty of space to socialise and many quiet areas to relax, read or play games.

Dating to circa 1600 the original, traditional farmhouse has been extended over the years. Our family carefully restored it and has let it as a holiday home since 1987. We continue making Villa Mennone even more sustainable. Recent eco-friendly upgrades include installing a low energy air conditioning system, solar panels for hot water and converting the swimming pool to saltwater.

Our family continues to oversee every aspect of our guests’ stay to ensure they have the best experience and most relaxing holiday possible.

Perfect for hosting extended groups of family and friends in maximum comfort, in a traditional Tuscan setting.

Villa Mennone is a truly memorable destination for your next holiday.

We had an amazing stay at Mario's property. The view is incredible, the house charming and well stocked. We were 17 people and still had plenty of space. The hosts were responsive, friendly and helpful. We had a great holiday. Thanks!

The large 9BD house perfectly accommodated 17pp (4 families ages 16-61). Home is large and immaculately clean with plenty indoor and outdoor space to relax and gather. Appreciated the individual air conditioning units in the bedrooms and gathering rooms which were perfect since we stayed during the end of July. The outdoor garden, large pool and jacuzzi were the highlight with views for miles. Sunrise and sunsets were amazing. The home is in the hillside and need to maneuver some narrow and windy roads, but worth it for the views and solitude of the home. Having a car is a must. We didn’t rent a car which was our mistake (no one wanted to drive) so we had to use a car service (and costs quickly added up) for grocery shopping and sightseeing to Lucca, Pisa, Florence and Cinque Terre. It was a trip of a lifetime and Casa Mennone was perfect.

There were 16 of us staying spanning the three generations of the family. The house was large enough for us not to get in each other’s way while at the same time allowing us to have a fantastic time in each other’s company. The children were hardly out of the pool!

The view is spectacular, the house itself is big for a family getaway, the house has everything. The bed that we stayed had a great mattress. Many bathrooms, kids toys and entertainment. Mario was very kind and also Lisa. We are so glad we find this house for a family reunion and hopefully we will be there next year!

We spent 3 weeks here and this property is amazing. It is the perfect blend of a true Tuscany experience with modern comforts. It was handicap accessible (wonderful for my 80 year old mom). The amazing pool, yard, hot tub was great for the kids. It has comfortable beds, great showers, AC, WIFI, modern stove and incredible views. We loved the nearby town of Lucca and the location is easy for day trips to Pisa, Florence and the coast. The host responded immediately to any questions and provided great information on the area, food recommendations, close by winery and even travel recommendations. Our family (12 people ranging from 6-80) loved it. We hope we could return someday!

The property is amazing! In reality it’s way bigger than what we imagined. The pool, the garden (soccer 4 vs 4 no problem), the view, the jacuzzi. The Pool gets cleaned and if you have questions you can just write via WhatsApp. Just everything was perfect. And with 16 people (18+) it was really affordable (in May). Would go there again!

The stay was excellent and a great retreat for our family! Mario’s communication & hospitality was excellent & the villa was very clean & even more beautiful than the photos. We had 4 generations of family and everyone enjoyed the experience. We meant to do more sightseeing, but frankly everyone wanted more time just being together as a family. The views were amazing & both the pool & hot tub were enjoyed. The family even enjoyed a competition of ping pong. One of everyone’s highlights was when local Chefs came & cooked an unbelievable 3 course dinner with appetizers & deserts - we highly recommend. We are very thankful to Mario for sharing their place so we could build many happy family memories.

We had a great stay at Casa Mennone! Highlight was the huge outdoor space with a really gorgeous view from the terace, pool and jacuzzi. We hardly left the premises due to Covid, but with all the possibilities in the garden, the six children in our party never got bored - and neither did the adults. :) Also, we regularly made use of the pizza / bread oven and bbq. Also indoors, nothing was missing. Everything was there you could possibly need for a large group. Communication was very easy. The host family was extremely nice and always quick to give a helpful answer. All in all: Great vacation, great house, absolutely recommendable!

We were celebrating with our family the 45 years of marriage of my parents. The house and facilities were clean and great. The view, the pool, pizza oven and garden were our favorites. We have visited Lucca and Collodi during this week. As this house is in the wine area of Tuscany we visit one of these wine houses. The contact and communication with the family of the house was very nice, quick and enthousiastic. We had contact with Mario and Elisa. If we had questions, they were there! Thank you for make this week unfortgetable for my parents, but also to us all. We loved this place!!!

We had a very nice stay (1 week) at Casa Mennone. The hosts are friendly and very flexibel. Thank you Lauretta and Mario. The house is located on a hill with a fantastic panoramic view. We enjoyed a lot the pool for refreshing and the jacuzzi for relaxing. Thank you!

We had a wonderful time at Casa Mennone - there were 14 of us and plenty of room and activities for all. Mario did a fantastic pizza night and we had Rossana cook for us on another couple of nights - she was great and well worth considering. The pool is lovely and the view is one to enjoy - bring binoculars! Mario was available whenever we had questions and this is very much a property to be recommended if you have a large party. Many thanks to all the Ciambelli Family for making us feel welcome.

17 family members stayed for a week as it was my mother’s 80th birthday and we had an unbelievable experience. The house is laid out perfectly. The bedrooms were charming and the bathrooms were clean spacious and updated. Mario responded immediately to the smallest requests. The pool and hot tub were pristine and used everyday. The view is breathtaking during the day and at night and the setting is pure Tuscany. The Ciambelli Family are incredible people and we’re so gracious. I truly can’t say enough about this place. It was a perfect home away from home that we used to access hill towns to the south and coastal towns to the north as well as Florence and Lucca. I’ll be back and maybe it will have to be during olive season in November as the Family produces upwards of 1500 bottles of olive oil. If it’s available rent this place and make incredible memories in Tuscany. Grazie to the Ciambelli Family

We had a good stay at Casa Mennone. The house was clean and had a beautiful view. We were a little disappointed about the lack of contact with the hosts apart from the initial brief run through. We would have loved more information on places to visit and things to do in the area in order to get the most out of our visit to Capannori. Thankfully past reviews mentioned a few things, otherwise we wouldn’t have known about the pizza dough at the bakery etc. Great WiFi.

We really enjoyed our stay at Loretta and Mario's house. They were always reachable and helped with all questions and requests. The house has everything you need and you feel right at home. The best part of course is the garden with the pool and the gorgeous views. We were a large group and had enough space to hang out throughout the day. Thanks to Mario for the great stay and we are sure we will be coming back soon.

We all agreed that 1 week was not enough at Casa Mennone and we would all return for longer next time. Mario was so helpful in arranging for bicycle delivery to the house and to have Rosanna cook an amazing meal our first night. His suggestions for grocery and wine tasting were also perfect. We had plenty of space to hang out, ages 12-81. Every morning, one person would go down to the local bakery and pick up pastries and we would all sit in the breakfast room, make coffee and chat about the day. Suggested groceries; Milk, Eggs, Panchetta, Ground Coffee, Sugar, Fruit, Salad Items, Crackers, Cheeses, Meats, Olives, Wine, Beer and Spritz makings. We ate leftovers from our first night (Rosanna) for 3 additional meals. 2 lunches and a dinner. We also bought Pre made dough at the bakery to make pizzas on the pizza oven. That was fun! We did day trips to Florence, Pisa and Cinque Terre. We went to Lucca several times and found it charming. We rode bikes on the rampart (rent at Tourist Center at Train Station by the hour) Be careful driving and parking in Lucca. Locals only in many parts. Follow signs to parking inside each gate. We had dinner out 3 times. Most amazing was up the hill at Osteria Da Giomo. 20E each and course after course of delicious food and wine! Also loved Cafe Capanari just a couple clicks away. Another fabulous prefix for under 20E. We were so torn, because we loved just hanging at Casa Mennone but there is so much to do and see nearby. Had appetizers and wine most nights on the patio. Some tips; 2 wonderful bedrooms on main level, we put the senior members of our party there. 2 beautiful bathrooms there as well. New wing has 3 bedrooms (2 with views) and 2 nice bathrooms. Old wing has so much charm with 5 bedrooms (3 with views) and 2 bathrooms and a huge family gathering room. That is the best place for the Internet too. All had large windows with screens that had a nice cross breeze at night. Beds are very comfortable. Overall, the best of experiences!

Casa grande, bella e spaziosa con tutti i confort. Per noi che eravamo in sedici abbiamo trovato tutto quello di cui avere bisogno per cucinare, mangiare (un bel forno a legna) e soprattutto une bella tavolata per accorglierci, sia dentro che fuori. Ancora un po troppo freddo per tuffarsi nella piscina, abiiamo sfruttato pienamente il jacuzzi. Bellissimo panorama e miriade di visite da fare nei dintorni. Grande voglia di ritornarci.

The Villa was absolutely beautiful , very clean and everything there you could want. The people were wonderful and really made you feel at home. Nothing was to much trouble. My husband and I took the family there to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary and we all said that we definitely will be going back. I would highly recommend this villa and family to anyone who wants a fabulous holiday.
