We we 3 families staying in the villa for a week. It was a great stay. We were welcomed by Juri and shortly introduced to the house. He also gave us some recommendations on where to eat and shop locally. We also got a nice cake, two bottles of nice wine and a bottle of limoncello from their own winery to enjoy during our stay. The is in great order with everything you need - The house looks almost newly renovated and was very clean and tidy. The pool was cleaned every morning, so very high attention to the tidyness and the hygiene. When we needed some extra cleaning of the pool due to a broken diving mask, Juri’s mother came within 30 min and cleaned the pool for us. Great service. Internet coverage and speed was not impressive, due to the general not so good internet coverage in the area, so nothing to blame Juri for - but perhaps good to know to manage expectations. All in all a fantastic stay with fantastic hosts. We give our best recommendations.

Beautiful property. It is nice to have a pool house well equipped in front of the swimming pool. In this way, it is always possible to watch the kids swimming/playing when yourself are preparing dinner/working/wants shadow. The landlord is reacting fast if you have any questions. He made good suggestions when we wanted to visit places. The full house is good equipped and has already some bases for cooking/drinking. I recommend you the place! Thank you Juri for the wonderful stay.

The best accommodation we have ever had! Picture don't do it justice. Carla was very friendly, helpful and was always on hand to solve a problem. Very sweet lady and we all fell in love with her. We got married in Lucca and used the villa for some of our family and also our wedding dinner and reception, Carla gave us all the help we needed to make this a wonderful memory. Juri gave recommendations and assistance prior to our stay to make this a wonderful week. We will go back one day as this has been such a wonderful experience. Thanks again Juri and your Mum Carla x

The house was great, very comfortable and well equipped, extremely clean and well set up for families. Pool was large and plenty of deck beds for relaxing. Lucca is an easy drive away with loads of restaurants and lots to do in the area.

Huis was perfect, van alle gemakken voorzien en een prima service van de eigenaren (elke dag vuil ophalen, elke dag zwembad schoonmaken etc., plus nog taart en wijn). Het zwembad is lekker groot en het terrein goed onderhouden.

This villa exceeded our expectations, which is very rare, given that images of properties always look better than the actual property. Not in this case. This villa was an absolute heaven for our entire family coming from many corners of the USA. Juri's attention to detail and customer service, and mama Carla's warm hug and unforgettable cooking skills really added to our entire Italian experience. We thank you for being such perfect hosts and we hope to see you again! We hope to be back for more relaxation and exploration of this beautiful region.

Juri is an amazing host. He is responsive, helpful and attentive. His mother Carla is warm and hospitable. They greeted us with home made limoncello, cake and wine! The house is rustic and equipped with all amenities that professionals and families would need - USB ports in the bedrooms, outlets throughout, WiFi, A/C in each room, wash and dryer, updated kitchen in both the main house and pool house. The pool is just steps away and the property is well-maintained. Our stay met and exceeded high expectations. We would stay again! For an additional fee, Juri and his mother hosted a feast for us. We did this the last night of our stay so the kids could squeeze in another swim.

Abbiamo soggiornato nella struttura in occasione del Lucca Comics and games e nonostante fossimo in 15 c'era spazio in abbondanza per tutti. La villa è magnifica, situata in una zona tranquillissima ma abbastanza vicina a Lucca da raggiungerla con facilità. Abbiamo trovato la casa pulitissima e attrezzata di ogni elemento utile per rendere il soggiorno il più confortevole possibile. I padroni di casa sono stati gentilissimi e disponibili, speriamo di tornare l'anno prossimo a soggiornare nella struttura! Grazie ancora di tutto Martina

Um es ganz kurz zu sagen: sehr gut / perfekt! Wir hatten das Haus mit 3 Familien (12 Personen) gemietet und haben die Zeit hier sehr genossen. Schade, dass wir nicht länger bleiben konnten. Das Haus ist in einem sehr guten Zustand und war sehr sauber. Die Einrichtung / Architektur ist schlicht aber stilvoll - mit alten Stücken ergänzt. Sehr geschmackvoll. Beide Küchen (Haupthaus und Nebengebäude) sind vollständig ausgestattet mit Geschirr, Spülmaschine, Herd etc. Besonders sind die beiden Vermieter zu erwähnen: Juri haben wir nur kurz bei der Ankunft (/Einweisung) gesehen aber er ist sehr freundlich und hat eine unglaublich kurze Antwortzeit bei Nachrichten an ihn. Seine Mutter ist einfach großartig! Sie ist vor Ort ansprechbar und kümmert sich um alles. Wir würden sehr gerne wieder hier wohnen !!

We stayed in August 2018 at this lovely, beautiful villa. The layout and amenities are new, sparkling clean, and the ideal layout for a family holiday. Juri and Mama made every effort and then some to make sure our party of 11, ranging from age 3 on experienced the best of Lucca. The recommendations and hospitality were overwhelming. Everyone was thrilled, Juri’s Mama made us dinner the last night and the food was the best we tasted all week. Our thanks to them and we hope to be back soon. The pride of ownership was felt throughout our stay. Thank you for the amazing memories and the family picture in front of the gorgeous sunflower field!

This is the perfect place for a calm, relaxing vacation on the countryside in the beautiful Tuscany! We absolute loved our stay! The house is just lovely, spacious and very well equipped- it has everything you could possibly need. The large pool and garden is amazing: Our children played soccer every day. The location of the house is superbe: a couple of nice restaurants and supermarkets are close by and the charming town of Lucca is only a 15 minutes drive away. Pisa is about 30 minutes away and Florence 50 minutes. The owners are very charming, welcoming and helpful. Juris mother Carla is a great cook: you should definitely book her for a genuine, delicious tuscan dinner at the villa.

We rented this villa to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary. It was fabulous for all ages. We were a group of 13 ranging in age from 77 to 22 months. Carla and Juri are the owners and the most amazing hosts. They helped plan activities like horseback riding. They also solved problems. (We needed a doctor when the baby got sick). The Villa is beautiful, immaculately clean and completely up to date on amenities, Including a TV, VCR, Hair dryer, electric coffee pot, washer, and dryer. There are 4 bedrooms with extra large queen size beds, l bedroom with a set of twins, and in the annex a bedroom with 3 twins. All rooms have AC, screens, and shutters. The kitchen is modern and well stocked with plenty of glassware, dishes, pots, pans, etc. Carla even stocks oil, vinegar, salt, pepper, sugar, flour, and some spices. It is perfect if you want to cook. I had Carla provide breakfast for us on our first morning. It included juice, coffe, milk, cereal, yogurt, fresh breads, sweet rolls, jams, fruits, Nutella, cheeses and meats. I highly recommend this. It saved us from having to get to a store right away and it was so plentiful it lasted several days. The real highlight is to have Carla cook a traditional Tuscan dinner and dine as group out on the Veranda overlooking the gorgeous valley. The pool does not have a true shallow end but it is large and is salt water. There are plenty of lounge chairs and umbrellas around the pool. There is also a hot and cold water shower poolside to rinse off. Pool towels were provided. The Villa is 7 miles from Lucca, 16 miles from Pisa and 40 miles to Florence. The mountains surround the valley and make for a lovely drive. There is something for everyone. We did a wine tour, biked, snorkeled, hiked, and did canyoning. The sightseeing is unlimited. All I can say is “IF THIS VILLA IS AVAILABLE, BOOK IT! You will not be disappointed. Carla and Juri will make your stay a little bit of heaven.

This trip was dream come true for my friends and family. For years, I've been planning my wife's 50th birthday in Tuscany. This is her favorite region. But here's the catch...It was all about surprises. She had no clue. After seeing Juri's place, i knew i had found the perfect spot. We arrived to a warm smile and hug from Juri. Toured the villa, and simply fell in love with it. It filled every checklist for me and then some. I could not have asked for more. It was absolutely charming. We woke up the first morning to freshly baked lemoncello cake from Momma Juri, Carla, and started our adventures into some of the beautiful countryside anywhere. The central location to the villa, got us to most of Tuscany in any direction, with ease. Simply the best trip and experience ever. Thank you Juri, Momma, for making it so perfect and easy for us. I'll BE BACK no doubt

Where do I start? It took me a LOOONG time to find a place that would be suitable for my whole family - trying to please a 2 year old to an 82 year old. Well, we all believe Juri's house is the perfect fit. From the very beginning it felt like home. It is well suited with everything you could need for your perfect Italian getaway. Grocery stores are convenient to the house so you can pick up all your goods, and then cook in the beautiful kitchen. Bedrooms are all well sized with comfy beds, and high end facilities and usb wall chargers. Bathrooms are new, clean and have plenty of them for a full house of 12 people! Having an extra pool house was perfect for our family as we had 2 adults and 2 young kids there... great to have their own space. The pool - its amazing! Clean, spacious, fresh, and Carla is there cleaning and preparing it every evening and morning. Juri and his mother Carla - Wonderful hosts! Very attentive and helpful when anything was needed. We couldn't get the coffee maker to work and Juri provided a brand new replacement immediately. When the wifi didn't work, Juri was there to get workers in to fix it. I couldn't have asked for any better assistance, so thank you! We also had them prepare a meal for my mothers birthday. It is very nice to sit by the pool and enjoy some of the best Italian food we have ever eaten. I highly recommend. Overall - I recommend this villa to everyone. Only comment I can make is - Make sure you stay long enough! Thanks for everything!

The villa is absolutely beautiful, and the setting even more so! I had exchanged emails with Juri and he recommended and booked some local restaurants and a vineyard tour for us, and all of which were fantastic. Juri even organised all of our taxis during our stay making it stress free and perfect. We were celebrating a 30th and 60th birthday during our stay and Juri's mother cooked us the most fantastic meal and nothing was too much trouble. I cannot recommend this place enough!”

We really enjoyed our trip in this beautiful villa. Juri and Carla did their best to make this trip even more beautiful. Clean rooms with WIFI, air conditioner etc. The pool was cleaned up every morning. It was very quiet all day long, no cars or noises. Perfect to relax. Also we had an beautiful dinner cooked by Carla, i suggest everyone who visit the villa to have the dinner. The food and also the evening was amazing. Supermarket and good restaurants are near the villa, about 5 minutes by car. Thanks for the hospitality!!! Hope to see you again next year. Best regards from Germany

This place is really a little piece of heaven. 15 minutes from the beautiful town of Lucca, in countryside setting, Juri and his mother Carla have created a simply wonderful place to stop and pause. I spent a perfect week here with my parents, my sister and her child and my 4 children. There was plenty of room for everyone. Bedrooms were spacious and comfortable (mattresses are firm and supportive). Kitchen is truly well equipped for cooking and supermarket only 5 minutes drive away. The house is a new old style home with exposed timber beams and tiled floors, double glazed windows and doors all with fly screens (needed and rare to find), and great plumbing for showers and baths. Pool house has extra beds, but also a second very well stocked kitchen for cooking by the pool. Wifi worked, with wifi extenders provided in pool house and some bedrooms. Everything has been thought of. The gardens and pool are divine and lovingly tended to by Carla every morning. We had Carla cook us dinner one night and had an absolute feast. My 7 year old daughter has decided Carla is the best cook in the world! Everything she made was delicious. Juri and Carla are both delightful, accommodating people. Carla speaks no English and I speak no Italian, but i loved every interaction we shared. We were so transfixed here that we explored far less of the region than we had hoped for. So much is easily accessible from here, but sitting by the pool in the Tuscan sunshine watching skydivers jumping from planes was so relaxing. The guest book reveals many return guests and it's clear to see why. My only hesitation in recommending this place for a stay is concern it will be booked out when I want to return. Perfection! Thanks Juri & Carla!

Villa San Ginese was the perfect house with an amazing quiet surrounding for our whole family. Juri and Carla were the perfect hosts, really lovely. Everything was clean as we never seen it before. The whole house and all the rooms are beautiful, with a wonderful style and with everything you need. From the moment we arrived we felt at home! Even if it was a little cold already we could use the huge pool, it was like a dream. Villa San Ginese is perfect situated to visit many important places, cities and beaches (Lucca, Florence, Pisa). Last but not least we only can recommend Carlas toscany dinner, it was a great evening. We definitely would love to come back one time!

I can really recommend this villa. Fantastic house, clean and tidy, great fresh pool and very good and friendly contact with the owner Juri and his mother. Awesome!

This place was so good for our extended family holiday in 2015 we came back again this year. The villa itself is really smart, spotlessly clean and with plenty of space. In addition there is a dinky little "pool house" with another kitchen and a further double bedroom. So It can easily accommodate 5 couples and a few extra people too. Loads of fridge, freezer and cupboard space and everything kitchen-wise is provided, in duplicate, plus an outdoor barbecue. The pool is really superb, cleaned every day and perfect. But the real star of the holiday is Carla, padrona di casa, for whom nothing is too much trouble. She is kind and generous and a great cook so make sure you go for her full-blown 5-course Italian evening meal. Juri is really efficient and super-helpful too. All in all highly recommended.

This is a very beautiful villa that has been totally updated with beautiful furnishings. Immaculate! The owners made us feel extremely welcome and at home, and Carla even prepared an exquisite Italian feast for us on our first night. Juri was a very gracious host. I highly recommend the villa and its owners!! KW

I've been trying to think of all the words that I could use to do the Farmhouse justice. I loved EVERYTHING about this B & B. Our Host's mother, Carla, prepared a wonderful dinner that was the best meal I've ever had in my several trips to Italy. I wish we would have realized that she would prepare breakfasts as well. Next time! I have been telling all my friends here at work about this place and we may actually try to stay there next year.....I’ll be in touch….. Thank you again for everything. Barbara Hansen
