Kids will enjoy the proximity to the village of Collodi with its Pinocchio’s Park and hometown of the writer that gave birth to the character.

Remotely situated in the foothills of Capannori, the six of us very much enjoyed time for rest & relaxation at Villa Lorena. We scheduled a number of day trips (some with and some without the expert assistance of the property's manager, Martina). We're very glad to have rented a car for the duration of our time there as there is nothing within walking distance of the property. We booked car service for some of our excursions/dinners, and found it extremely expensive, often costing more than dinner itself. We definitely recommend booking a chef (Francesca was fantastic!) as you will find this to be another way to enjoy the property. Martina, as the owners representative, was very responsive and helpful.

The place is outstanding. It provides you with everything you might expect for a relaxing holiday in the countryside of the Tuscany. We stayed there in October with a group of ten people, aged over three generations. There are different places inside and outside to sit all together talking or doing games. Whenever you're looking for a silent place to read a book, there are different spots to sit, relax and enjoy the view and the nature. The youngest enjoyed the little indoor pool as well as the in this time of year rather refreshing outside pool. The bedrooms are spacious, the beds comfortable and as you're out in the nowhere it is absolutely quit. The road leading to the house is a bit of an adventure but no problem to drive on. We recommend this villa to all those who want to enjoy the wonderful countryside of the Tuscany. All of us enjoyed it very much and would like to come back.

The villa was a great home base to enjoy Tuscany, with a relaxing vibe. Most of our day trips were less than an hour away. Our villa manager, Martina, was very helpful and helped us reserve a wine tasting, arranged a private chef for an evening and provided insight for restaurants and sight seeing. Our only issues were the american coffee maker didn't work, the lack of extra towels, and the clothes dryer wasn't installed.

We just got back from our week vacation here at the villa. With a family of 11, there was room for all of us. We enjoyed all the different seating areas and especially enjoyed the pool on these hot July summer days. The AC worked great in all the bedrooms. The goats were fun for the grandchildren to see. We hired a chef to come one night to cook us a meal. We all went out to different places during the day and ended up together at night. Villa Lorena is a great place for a large family reunion. The only thing I would recommend is some kind of written instructions at the property as to the separation of the recyclables.

Authentic tuscan country house. Hidden from the main road of the village. Led to by a beautiful dirt road. The villa itself has everything you may need. If you are looking for a modern stay, book at Hilton. If you are looking for an authentic experience, that's the place.

I can't begin to describe how wonderful our stay at Villa Lorena was. We just got home today and I have to sit down to quickly respond to review our stay. First of all, the Villa is so charming, comfortable, nestled in a lovely setting and filled with creative decorations. Our family of 9 was so happy there, we were sad to leave. Chiara (the manager) was incredible. She was always available to assist in any way we needed, making recommendations, helping us with things that came up. She was professional, kind and warm. Everyone felt like family to us. Graziano (the groundskeeper) also was such a wonderful person. I can go on and on but suffice it to say, you should stay here as soon as you can! The location is perfect. We took excursions to Cinque Terre, Florence, Lucca and Siena with ease. We used services recommended by the management for transportation to and from the cities we visited as well as having chefs come to the home. (I highly recommend TauTouring for car services and Graziella for Chefs at the home). I have such a warm feeling about our vacation at Villa Lorena. If I could give it more than 5 stars I would.

We spent the last days of 2021 in this house and we had a lovely time! The house is cozy and very practical for large groups, it’s decoration and interior makes you feel like you are going to stay in a family’s country house: lived and full of memories. The veranda where the dining table is located is where we spent most of our time together (we were 10 adults) and it is such a nice area: on a clear day you can see all the nature around you (little donkeys included!). The house is full of amenities, in particular the kitchen and its layout allows for both privacy and time together. As described, you will take a short off road street to reach it, but it is short and absolutely doable with a bit of attention (we had bigger cars but also a Smart car). Cristina and her daughter Elisa who manage the house and our main point of contact were absolutely kind and helpful. Before our arrival we communicated very easily on a series of points l: from cribs for kids for instance, we had two new borns with us, to making sure that the house was heated for our arrival. They have also supported with meals: Elisa prepared for us ready-to-heat meals, a very practical formula for big groups , but also a wonderful New Year’s Eve dinner which she cooked and served on the spot! Thank you!!
