Overall:
Beautiful setting, nice roomy bedrooms.
Enjoyed Most:
The view.
Enjoyed Least:
Cheap blankets on bed. The pool closes at 8.
Surrounding Area:
The beach at Viareggio and the walled city of Lucca within an hour's drive.
Check In Out:
A little more information would have been nice, such as where to put the garbage.

Overall:
A very relaxing location in a beautifully equipped property.
Enjoyed Most:
The location and setting were ideal. We were able to have easy access to the freeway and shopping, and yet appreciated the rural area and enjoyed walking on the estate.
Surrounding Area:
We loved to walk and explore the estate and the little villages nearby. We were also able to take advantage of the east and reasonable train access to Florence from the nearby station San Romano.
Nearby Events or Locales:
There was a village within walking distance but Montopoli was a short car drive away.
Tips or Restaurants:
We enjoyed Marti Lago and also the little yellow house just outside the main gates for a reasonable meal. It was within walking distance--about a 12-minute walk each way.
Directions:
We would just add to look for entrance gates to a property called Varramista.

Overall:
Overall it was a great week! The weather was perfect and we were able to absolutely relax! Our side trips were very easy and we were able to get back in time for a swim.
Enjoyed Most:
The pool area was very clean and very well kept. Sunset from the pool area was spectacular. Plus all the tree-lined roads leading up to our villa added to the charm. Bedrooms were spacious and bathrooms were well kept, air-conditioning was a nice perk.
Enjoyed Least:
There were lots of extra charges: Internet service, pool towels were 9 Euros per person, wine tasting and tour, which we didn't do, at 17 Euros per person. Also, we only had one change of towels during our stay, contrary to the daily change as listed. Also no DVD player as listed. We also had a problem with ants on our patio - but they took care of that after we mentioned it to them.
Surrounding Area:
Very accessible to many areas. We did Pisa and Lucca in one day, also did the Cinque Terre area in a day. Supermarkets and a nice restaurant were all near by. The estate was big enough to go on nice long runs in private, secure area.
Nearby Events or Locales:
Capanne was only about 2 miles away...you could walk 1.2 miles would be within the villa estate. We are a walking family so it was definitely doable for us.
Tips or Restaurants:
Bring insect spray. Tuscan mosquitoes are big!!
