We had a very relaxing holiday in this large, beautiful ,comfortable house.We spent most of the time outside by the fantastic pool in the lovely garden.Indoors the house was comfortably cool.We did not have a car ,a supermarket and restaurant were within walking distance 20 and 10 minutes respectively. We would certainly return.

This lovely old house provided loads of space - we were 7, ten would be fine - and a beautiful pool and garden. It is around 2km from Lucca - ideal for a cycle into town. Clean, old but well maintained and charming. We would be happy to return

We stayed for a week, our whole family and partners. The house is spacious, ideally suited to lots of people and beautifully quiet. A great garden and pool. Best for us was the location - far enough from the city to be very quiet, close enough to cycle in for a meal. Really, no complaints other than one of the (complementary) bicycles not being very good!

Super feriebolig - godt egnet for en storfamilie. Vi var tre generasjoner og hadde ei fantastisk uke. Huset er romslig, spesielt soverommene er store. Kjøkkenet er svært godt utstyrt. Flott og stort uteareal. Bassenget er stort nok til at noen kan leke i den ene enden mens andre svømmer der det er dypest. Rolig område. Mange severdigheter innenfor en times kjøretur. Hyggelige vertsfolk som svarte raskt på alle henvendelser. Stedet anbefales på det varmeste.

Just returned from a two week stay at Villa Aladino. Perfect house for our extended family holiday (8 adults, 3 children aged 9, 5 and 18 months). Clean and well maintained. Highchair and cot also provided by owners. The pool was brilliant for all, with good shallow area for the younger children (they loved it), with added security of being fenced off. There was also lots of garden space for us to play games. Plenty of loungers and seating areas for sun worshippers and shade-seekers alike. We had breakfast in the garden every day and several BBQs. Kitchen also well equipped. The location is perfect, in a countryside setting next to a small river, but only a short drive/bus ride into Lucca. We also used the cycles provided to ride into Lucca and explore the local area. Cycled to Meati one day for lunch at the lovely courtyard restaurant and returned for a family meal one evening (only negative, no highchairs for babies). Easy access by car or train to Pisa, Florence and Viareggio. Two of our party also drove to Sienna for the Palio Horse Race. Other lovely days out included a drive to Bagni di Lucca and beyond for beautiful mountain views and to the very pretty seaside village of Tellaro (but get there early as it is very popular and parking difficult). The owners were very helpful and communication by email was good. A brilliant holiday was had by all, wished we could have stayed longer. Top tip - take good insect repellent.

"Belle maison (très propre), très beau jardin (très bien entretenu), belle piscine, quartier calme. Tout est réuni pour passer de bonnes vacances."

"MAISON MITOYENNE SPACIEUSE AU CALME A COTE D'UN MARAIS (PAS DE MOUSTIQUE CETTE ANNEE MAIS FORT RISQUE) - GRAND JARDIN AGREABLE AVEC PISCINE SECURISEE PAR UNE BARRIERE - EQUIPEMENT DE LA MAISON COMPLET MAIS IL MANQUE UN MICRO ONDES - CEPENDANT, FORT RISQUE DE VIS A VIS DANS LE FUTUR, LA VUE D'UNE GRANGE EN COURS DE RENOVATION DONNE SUR LE JARDIN."

"The house is truly beautiful. We stayed a week in the villa Aladino, with 4 children, a baby and four adults. Everyone had fun. We enjoyed the big swimming pool, as all the commodities of the house. Near from Lucca (a charming toscani town), the house is perfectly situated in Toscani. I highly recommend this house."

"Belles prestations, très jolie cadre, belle piscine, grande maison. Les travaux (temporaires) des voisins ont été un peu bruyants. Bien préciser au propriétaire si vous avez besoin des 5 chambres. Bien situé pour Lucca et Pise."

"We were 6 people In the villa: Me and my husband, my daughter and her husband, and their 2 girls (9,5) The house was very big and very convenient. We had there everything we needed and more. It's place is near the highway. We traveled with our rented cars all over Toscany. We visit Firenze, Piza, and more cities and villages around. In the evenings we engoyed the beautiful garden and the large wonderful pool. We spent there 8 happy days with complete calm and privacy."

"The villa was more beautifull than on the pictures on internet. The owner was friendly and in the house was everything we needed. The pool was big!!! We had a very good stay in Lucca. Our son (22 months) had also a graet time."
