We had the most amazing dream come true vacation at this beautiful villa! The Villa is absolutely gorgeous, spacious, clean, and charming. We were a group of 8 adults and 2 kids. Everyone was thrilled with it. Elisa was wonderful and so helpful. She organized a chefs dinner for us and massages at the Villa. They were both phenomenal. Our only complaint was that we did not have long enough there and didn’t want to leave! We can’t wait to go back and the olive oil is also delicious!

Always sceptical about pictures on a website but on arrival the villa proved itself and more so. Amazing new kitchen, close to the outside dining table. The pool is fab and the jacuzzi, which of course we never said we’d use, was lovely, with a view to die for. All the bedrooms were fantastic, bathrooms too and the air con a god send at times. The decor is traditional (which we liked) and the lovely new kitchen is a great addition. Well stocked with all you could need. The owners always replied quickly to any questions and were helpful with questions about the local areas. Would I go again? 100%! Make sure you buy their olive oil, wine and, if you like onions, they’re chutney too…

14 of us stayed here and the property and house exceeded our expectations. There is a new spacious kitchen, everyone had a bed, the bedrooms were air conditioned, and the pool and jacuzzi were a life saver in the heat! Elise was available to answer our questions and coordinated a chef to cook for us one night.

We had a wonderful experience in this fabulous home. Our stay exceeded all of our expectations. Our children loved the pool, hot tub, and the farm animals (horse, donkey, pony, ducks and chickens). Bedrooms and bathrooms were plentiful and comfortable for our group of 10. The pool is amazing with a salt water system and lots of lounges for sunbathing. The peace and quiet of the grounds allow you to hear the songbirds singing all day. The brand new air conditioned kitchen has everything we needed. It's huge, modern and has a large, comfortable table with seating for at least 12 people. We truly enjoyed cooking all together in this excellent space. Our hostesses, Elisa and Loretta, were gracious and very helpful. We arrived without food. Elisa drove two of us to the supermarket to shop for supplies on the evening we arrived so that we would have enough food for our entire stay. Overall, this is an exceptional vacation experience for larger groups and gets a five star rating from our family!!!

Siamo stati benissimo e Elisa è la sua mamma sono gentilissime

Wir können das Ferienhaus bestens empfehlen! Traditionelles Haus mit grandiosem Blick auf die Talebene von Lucca und schönem, großen Pool. Die sehr nette Vermieterin hilft bei allen Fragen und die ganze Organisation unseres Aufenthalts war ebenfalls ganz unkompliziert. Die Kinder freuten sich über die Tiere auf (Schildkröten) bzw. neben dem Grundstück (Maultier, Esel, Schwein…). Wenn wir nochmal in der Gegend Urlaub machen, werden wir dieses Haus definitiv wieder in die engere Wahl mit aufnehmen.

Herzlichen Dank an die Gastgeber-Familie. Wir haben den Aufenthalt in vollen Zügen genossen. Pool und Whirl-Pool waren grossartig. Sehr grosszügig mit Badetüchern ausgestattet und äusserst bequeme Liegestühle. Die Lage ist hervorragend und es gibt gute Einkaufsmöglichkeiten und Restaurants in der Nähe. Die ganze Anlage würde sich speziell für Familien mit Kindern eignen. WiFi am Pool wäre wünschenswert.

We stayed 12 days in August, 3 families with 6 kids. The property is well taken care of, with large space for kids to play in total safety. Nice view on the surrounding hills, very quiet at night. We all had comfortable rooms with effective A/C, and private space for everyone; kitchen well equipped with a large refrigerator and freezer. Elisa, the owners' daughter, is very friendly and always available from check-in to suggestions on restaurants and sightseeing. The swimming pool is safely fenced, in pristine conditions, sea water, plenty of sitting space and a large hot tub we used more than expected. A nearby little farm belongs to the family as well, the kids could visit anytime. Summary: For a family (group) vacation, would definitely recommend.

La struttura si trova in una posizione incantevole sulle colline lucchesi, immersa nel verde, curatissima, gode di un suggestivo panorama ed è a soli 15/20 minuti da Lucca. La Villa all’interno è spaziosa e confortevole, le stanze matrimoniali sono dotate di bagno privato e aria condizionata. È disponibile ogni genere di accessorio, dalla biancheria alle stoviglie. Pulizia ineccepibile. L’area piscina (vasca, idromassaggio, sdraio, ombrelloni, dehor) è spaziosa ed altrettanto curata. La profondità dell’acqua della piscina è variabile e la rende perfetta e sicura anche per i bambini più piccoli. Elisa, la proprietaria, è di una gentilezza e disponibilità disarmante ed è entrata nel cuore di tutti noi ospiti. Appena rientrati da un soggiorno indimenticabile con 6 adulti e 6 bambini. La Villa è perfetta per famiglie e gruppi numerosi.

We have spent two fantastic weeks at il Gobbo. We all loved the house and the pool, and the house is highly recomended. Kirsten and Poul-Erik

Dette har vært magisk fra første øyeblikk! Hus og omgivelser burde få minst en 10! Når vi plusser på Elise vår vertinne, blir opplevelsen for oss alle elleve 100 prosent! Her vil vi lengte tilbake! Hilsen Reidar og Sissel m/fam ! Norway

Amazing place Loretta and Elisa were fantastic You have more than you need, great for family gathering, Stunning home !!!! Fabulous garden and pool !!! Highly recommended Thanks Loretta and Elisa you’re amazing hostess, Anthony and Nelly From Toronto Canada

Viaggio organizzato per un gruppo di 10 persone: la villa è su una collina di uliveti (da cui viene prodotto un eccellente olio). La casa è davvero confortevole, con ampi spazi comuni (tavolo grande per cene insieme e poltrone per tutti), stanze private molto ben curate. Completa il tutto una Yakuzi che abbiamo potuto sfruttare anche a fine anno. Consigliatissimo!

Highly recommended- Loretta and her daughter were very helpful and responsive to our needs. They cooked a memorable Tuscan meal for a family celebration.

We were a group of 7 women touring Tuscany and spent a week at Il Gobbo and loved every minute of our stay. The villa was roomy, spotless, extremely well equipped both in the kitchen and bathrooms. The linens were plentiful and of good quality and the beds very comfortable. Our hosts were attentive to any of our wants or needs. Loretta was prompt with answering questions before our arrival, while her children Elisa and Mario were very helpful and quick to respond to any questions we had once we were there. The fridge was stocked with their own prosecco and a pizza on our arrival and a bottle of Elisas delicious internationally recognized olive oil was available for us to sample. The family was very warm and gracious and we are so grateful to have met them. The weather was warm in early October so we enjoyed the pool area and the hot tub which were both well maintained. A car is necessary as it is a 15 min drive to Lucca, but the roads from the villa are beautiful for walking and exploring the village fairly close by. I highly recommend Il Gobbo and would love to return.

We were 6 adults and 7 children spending a week at Il Gobbo and we had a great time. The large pool with its trampoline and a depth varying from 1meter to 2,4 meters made swimming and playing fun and safe for everyone and relaxing was made easy with comfortable deckchairs. We needed more parasols and within the hour Mario brought us exactly what we needed. The house included everything we needed, towels, linen, lots of kitchenware, both washing machine and dishwasher, seating for all of us both inside and outdoors, bedrooms with air condition and lots of bathrooms. The view was breathtaking. We made excursions to Lucca and up the mountains and went trekking on beautiful trails uphill. It was quite easy to find very nice restaurants within a driving distance of 15 minutes (we recommend booking in advance during the summer time) and grocery shopping was pretty easily done at Esselunga in Lucca. The kids loved visiting and feeding the friendly pig Dorothy and her horse and sheep friends behind the house and used the pretty steep backyard area for hide and seek, football and other games. In total, we enjoyed our stay immensely and would strongly recommend Il Gobbo and its owners!

This was a great Family Villa with real character, I would say that the pictures on the site do not do it justice as they do not show the quirky side to its character with the decor inside. We thoroughly enjoyed our time in the Villa during the week we stayed. The Villa was about 15 mins drive from Lucca and about 5 mins drive to the closest cafe and restaurant but remote enough to have real privacy and fantastic views across Lucca from the terrace especially at night.It was great to hear the farm animals in the area around us and it all added to the experience, however at night we turned on the air conditioning and shut the windows so as not to be woken up by the cockerel .We used both the BBQ and the Pizza Oven for some great home cooking, although not used I understand the family can cook for you as well on request.The hot tub and pool were great for spending time in the day and evening and cleaned regularly.Elisa was amazing and so friendly and always available if we needed any help with anything or advice. Both Loretta and Elisa gave us a tour and we were able to sample the honey straight from the hive still on the honeycomb..Loretta was there to say goodbye and we were all sad to leave.All of our family had a great time and would certainly book again.

Our three families came together for our annual holiday and thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Il Gobbo. The villa was extremely spacious and very well appointed. Much thought had gone into the Villa with lots to do and everything we could possible need provided which isn't always the case. The family were extremely helpful and we enjoyed a number of their recommendations for visits and eating out, as well as trying the home made pizza and olive oil. All in all a brilliant experience and would definitely stay again and recommend. Many thanks.

From the moment we drove to the gate of the property we were amazed by the breathtaking views and authenticity of the place. Loretta, Giuseppe and Elisa welcomed us and made us feel at home. Their hospitality and generosity were exceptional. The house is a renovated property with the charm of old Tuscany and all the amenities we could ask for. Both the indoor and outdoor spaces are very well maintained and spotless. The owners were very attentive to our needs and suggested local businesses and attractions. We were lucky enough to sample local honey and olive oil produced on the property. One of the most memorable experiences was making pizza in the wood oven! It's a very nice place for families with children and for adults. Thank you to Il Gobbo Family for an outstanding experience. We will hopefully be back soon!

I´ve been with my family at Casa Il Gobbo several times during all season (except from winter) and all of us love that place so much for several reasons: Il Gobbo is located in the hills of Segromingno in Monte - when you lie at the pool or sit on the terrace you have a wonderful view all over Lucca with all the olive trees and the village`s church in front...it`s Tuscany as you know from all the pictures- just better because of all the smells and noises of nature. The building has got a kind of farm-style, but offered all the comfort we needed . Il Gobbo has got a big kitchen with a gas cooker- so it`s possible to cook for a couple of people and have a great dinner at home. We liked it so much that we didn't make it to a restaurant during our last stay, although there are plenty of good restaurants around Segromingno. We also used the fireplace inside during our last stay. But in hot summer the house is still cold during the day, which was very important during our other stays. In summer it gets really hot there, but it`s very nice that there`s always some wind at the hills so you feel much better at the house than in the cities. The only problem during hot days can be the horse flies, but if you dry yourself at once when you get out of the pool and use repellent you can handle it. I really, really love that place...it's one of my three favorite places in the world just beside a little beach town in brazil and a spiritual place in New Zealand....so it`s a big race where Il Gobbo gets one of the best ranks;) But you have to be careful- if you wanna see a lot of Tuscany: it might be not possible, because you maybe prefer to stay at the house, in the garden, at the pool,...:)

We loved our stay in Villa Il Gobbo! The group was formed of 11 People, 6 Adults and 5 Children. The big garden all fenced is perfect, especially if you have a dog like we do. The swimming pool is very big and the children loved the trampoline. Inside the house all the rooms are very spacious, the kitchen is very equipped. The hosts, Loretta and Elisa were super kind with us! We will come back! Peter

Owners were super nice family, facilities were as described. Property was clean and interesting with history. Decoration and amenities (incl. some games, tableware, towels etc) were plenty and nice. Surroundings and view were beautiful. Nothing to complain. Nice surprise was horse and pony in the backyard and a turtle. Very relaxing to lay in the warm jakuzzi and enjoy the beautiful mountains around.

This was our first trip to Italy and there were twelve people in our group, six couples. The villa Casa il Gobbo was an excellent choice for us. The pictures on the web-site were good but we were overwhelmed when we arrived at the villa. The surroundings were breath taking. The grounds, swimming pool and hot tub were beautiful. The villa was magnificent, everything was immaculate and well maintained. Our hosts Loretta an Guiseppe were great hosts, their hospitality and kindness during our stay at Casa il Gobbo will always be a memorable part of our vacation in Tuscany. We all agreed that visiting Tuscany was the best part of our trip to Italy and staying at the villa was the highlight of our vacation. Loretta also arranged for a cook to come and cook for us one evening. We would highly recommend this for everyone who stays at the villa. We had a wonderful night and the food was excellent, there was plenty and we had enough left for another meal. We did many trips up the hills and the view was always spectacular. We also visited Florence, Pisa and Lucca. Lucca is a beautiful walled city and the market on Saturday was great fun. We found the restaurants, supermarkets in the area all excellent. We will recommend this property to friends and family. Overall a great holiday!! Thank you, Grazie, Loretta and Guiseppe!

The web site description of Il Gobbo is good, but the property is better! 9 of us stayed at Il Gobbo (3 couples and a family of 3 with a 9 year old boy), there was still room for more people. Everyone felt is was the best property we had stayed at in all of our vacations in Tuscany. The home is absloutley magnificent, everything works perfectly, even the espresso machine! It was immaculately clean and well maintained. The spa is at least as good as the view from it! The serenity of the property is probably its biggest asset, although inside the home is superb as well. Loretta and Guiseppi are magnificent hosts who live close by if you need any assistance, such as where can you get the best local wine and seafood, etc! We have never had such good customer service. We will definitely stay there again and have already begun recommending it to our friends.

Our week in Tuscany began with a warm welcome from Guiseppe and just got better! Il Gobbo is a beautifully maintained villa with a stunning view over Lucca and the surrounding hills. We enjoyed sipping wine (thoughtfully provided for us from a nearby vineyard) and watching the gorgeous sunsets from the state-of-the-art hot tub! The kids had a fabulous time feeding the horse, swinging, swimming and playing ping pong (sadly, the grass was still growing on the soccer field)! The property is very large and was perfect for our dog since it is fenced. The villa exuded warmth and authenticity with its beamed ceilings and antique furnishings. We were thrilled to have a dining table that would seat all of us (14). Antonia came twice to make us delicious Italian meals, and she made so much food that we had left overs! We went into Lucca several times and delighted in bicycling around the ramparts. Both Florence and Pisa were a short drive, but we abandoned our plans for any other sightseeing to remain at Il Gobbo and soak in the Tuscan sun and serenity! We felt as if we'd experienced Tuscany like a native--so much better than staying at a hotel or resort!! We've already inquired about coming back in the summer... Grazie Loretta and Guiseppe!

Paradise! That is the only word I can use. We shared the house with 2 other families. There were 14 people in total (6 adults, 2 teenagers, 2 tweenagers and 4 kids). The house provided plenty of space and privacy. There was something for everyone. There were many outside activities including the pool, hot tub, deck chairs, swings, a playhouse, pingpong, horses to pet, and trees to climb. There was never a moment when anyone said, "I'm bored." We loved the dining areas - 2 outside and 1 inside that fit everyone. Loretta was kind enough to arrange a cook to come in and make fabulous dinners for us. The price was quite reasonable considering the amount of people and quality of food. The owners came every morning to be sure we were comfortable. The house has so much character. It felt warm and homey. The kitchen was very well equipted and had lots of the basics for us to use. My only issue was the lighting was dim for reading at night. If you like to read, bring a book light. We were able to do several daytrips -Pisa, Florence, Lucca. They were convenient. I recommend that you take the train into Florence. The car was a pain. The towns were lovely, but the Il Gobbo was the best part of the whole trip. I can't wait to return!
