We just came home from the most amazing week in this villa. We had 5 families stay and had plenty of room. Everything was perfect. The Villa, the location, the amenities. Martina our host was so accommodating and helped us to arrange some unforgettable experiences. I highly recommend chef Alice for a private dinner and Chef Francesca for the cooking class in the villa. Martina was always available and checked in frequently. I cannot wait to come back to this beautiful place. Thank you for a week we will never forget!

Villa Medea was the perfect location for our celebration! As a group of 9 of mixed ages it was a great spot. The pool was fabulous, lots of space to all be around it at the same time. The outside dining area was perfect for diners all together. Alice, the caterer recommended to us by the villa manager, could not have been more helpful and her dinners were superb!

Villa was awesome and exactly as described. Our Villa manager Martina was terrific and helped make our stay a great one. She was always available when we asked a question. Accommodations were great and we loved the grounds and pool. Everyone had a great rime. The only suggestion I'd make is to inform people that taxi service isn't the best and that arranging transportation ahead of time is recommended. No other suggestions.

Excellent property. Spacious, clean rooms in a centuries old villa. Updates to the villa were top-notch, preserving the charm of the original house. Pictures of the property gave an accurate impression. Fully equipped kitchen. Beautifully landscaped property with an outdoor kitchen with 2 stone fireplaces which we used to make some unforgettable Bistecca Fiorentina, purchased at the local butcher. 10 minutes walk to bus. 20 minutes to Lucca. 5 minutes drive to village with a great trattoria, butcher, and excellent pizzeria. Villa manager was very responsive to minor maintenance issues. No disappointments with this property that I highly recommend.

We had 2 glorious weeks at Villa Medea celebrating 3 milestone birthdays, two 60th and one 75th. Beautiful charming 10 bedroom villa. The whole Villa is Beautifully decorated. Kitchen is Well equipped with 2 refrigerators. Has outdoor grill and stove by the pool. We were a big group of family and friends and everyone was comfortably situated in each bedroom. The Villa’s location is perfect. Close to numerous towns like Lucca, Pisa and Florence to name a few. Our Villa Host Maria Pia was an absolute gem!! She did her very best to accommodate all our requests and was very helpful to our needs. We had a scrumptious, authentic Tuscan Birthday dinner catered by the resident Villa Chef, Alice Dami. She made sure the table settings were done perfectly and beautifully. The appetizers and dinner were both delicious. Chef Alice and her assistants were very attentive. There was just 2 minor incidents: The trash collection in Italy are pretty strict. We did as best we could following the rule guides in the Villa guest book. It was a little confusing when we thought we were following it correctly but then the trash was not being picked up. We contacted Maria Pia and she was helpful in sending someone to collect the trash. We also had an insect situation in one of the rooms that had an outdoor patio. Because of the change of weather, when it gets cool some insects find their way into the warmth of the bedroom. We understand it’s part of nature. We contacted Maria Pia again and she was quick to have someone spray the room and gave us extra cans if needed. Overall we loved our stay at Villa Medea and highly recommend a visit. Grazie Mille !! Brian Dempsey and Ana Castro (Traduzione di Google) Abbiamo trascorso 2 settimane gloriose a Villa Medea festeggiando 3 compleanni importanti, due del 60esimo e uno del 75esimo. Bella affascinante villa con 10 camere da letto. L'intera Villa è splendidamente decorata. La cucina è ben attrezzata con 2 frigoriferi. Dispone di grill all'aperto e fornelli a bordo piscina. Eravamo un grande gruppo di famiglia e amici e tutti erano comodamente situati in ogni camera da letto. La posizione della Villa è perfetta. Vicino a numerose città come Lucca, Pisa e Firenze solo per citarne alcune. La nostra Villa Host Maria Pia era un vero gioiello!! Ha fatto del suo meglio per soddisfare tutte le nostre richieste ed è stata molto disponibile per le nostre esigenze

We spent 2 weeks here with friends and couldn't have asked for more! The outdoor spaces were perfect for our group. From spending afternoons by the pool by the olive trees...to being able to eat dinner outside. And we enjoyed a couple of dinners inside at the dining room. We had Alice cook dinner for us the first night as we knew we wouldn't want to cook. We enjoyed it so much we had her come the next Saturday night as well. Her food was spectacular! We did a day trip to Florence via train. And spent several days in the walled city of Lucca. We're trying to figure out when we can return to Villa Medea1

We had a great time. Great view, big and beautiful spaces both in and out, lovely pool, well-equipped kitchen. The Hayloft was great for the part of the family with babies...We were 20 + six month old baby and it felt spacious. We traveled to Lucca a few times, strolling was nice although very crowded, bicycling on the walls is very recommended. Some toys and games could be nice to have both in-house, outside, and for the pool. (Ball, frisbee, etc.) The information and recommendations for food stores were not clear enough. A floor plan can help plan ahead who stays where.
