Vieles stimmte nicht bei den Angaben der Ferienwohnung

Der Aufenthalt war schön. Die Anlage insgesamt perfekt. Allerdings war die Ferienwohnung angegeben mit 3 Schlafzimmern. Das stimmte nicht. Es waren nur 2 Schlafzimmer vorhanden. Allerdings gab es im Wohnzimmer / Küche ein Schlafsofa. Die Wohnung war angeben mit über 80 m2. Es waren aber nicht einmal 50 m2. Die Klimaanlage funktionierte nicht. Es gab auch nur eine nicht funktionierende Klimaanlage, die dann auch ausgebaut wurde. Die 2 Schlafzimmer waren nicht klimatisiert. Der Schirm auf der Terrasse war defekt und konnte uns nicht mehr beschatten. Es ist schon eine sehr schöne Ferienwohnung aber ein bisschen mehr Ehrlichkeit wäre bei dem Preis schon angemessen.

Toller Service/ tolle Anlage

Wir hatten einen sehr schönen Urlaub. Die Mitarbeiter vor Ort waren alle sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend. 2-3 Mängel wurden sofort beseitigt/ ausgetauscht. Auch bei möglichen Ausflügen/Aktionen waren sie sehr hilfsbereit. Unser Hund wurde freundlich behandelt. Manchmal waren die vielen Kinder am Pool etwas laut, sodass man dort die eigentliche Ruhe nicht immer genießen konnte. Aber das ist ja ein sehr individuelles Bedürfnis unsererseits. Die Wohnung war etwas klein und entsprach nach meinem Gefühl nicht ganz der angegebenen Größe. Es hätten vielleicht auch noch ein paar Küchenutensilien mehr vorhanden sein können.( z.b. Salz und Pfeffer). Das Appartement über uns war sehr hellhörig. Da hatten wir glaube ich etwas Pech. Aber wie gesagt, wir sind auch insgesamt sehr Ruhebedürftig. Alles in allem durchaus zu empfehlen!

Schönes Anwesen mit toller Ausicht

Wir hatten eine schöne Wohnung im Erdgeschoss, nur wenige Meter vom Pool und seiner tollen Aussicht auf Lucca und Umgebung. Der Pool war für die Anzahl der Gäste völlig ausreichend und es gab genügend Liegen mit Sonnenschirmen. Wie überall mussten natürlich auch hier wieder übereifrige Gäste in aller Herrgottsfrühe Liegen mit Handtüchern "reservieren" - wann hört dieser Blödsinn endlich mal auf? Die Wohnung war sauber, mit allem ausgestattet, was man braucht. Die Stühle und das Sofa dürften etwas bequemer sein, aber da wir sowieso viel unterwegs und andonsten im Pool waren, hat es uns nicht weiter gestört. Mückennetze sind vorhanden - und die braucht es auch. Man sollte sich abends auf der Terrasse schützen, da doch einige Mücken und andere Fluginsekten herumfliegen und stechen oder beißen. Bei der Anfahrt genau auf die Beschilderung zur Villa achten. Wir sind versehentlich einmal geradeaus durch ein Tor gefahren - es erschien uns logisch - und uns dann auf einem Feldweg wieder gefunden. Wir hätten links statt geradeaus fahren müssen, ein Schild zeigt das auch an, also aufpassen. Toll ist, dass es viel Grün auf dem Gelände gibt. Überall gibt es Möglichkeiten, sich auf einer Liege zu entspannen. Auch der Spa-Bereich ist klasse. Wir konnten ihn aber leider wegen Wartungsarbeiten nicht richtig nutzen. Die Mitarbeiter der Rezeption sind sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Alles in allem ein sehr schöner Aufenthalt für 4 Nächte als erste Station einer Toskanarundreise.

Lovely apartment, gorgeous grounds

My 16-year-old daughter and I stayed in the Magnolia apartment, which was was clean, well-equipped, and well-suited to our needs. The patio looked towards the pool and out over the Tuscan hills — it was lovely to sit there in the morning or after a day of touring. The pool is delightful and the setting could not be more perfect. The property is about 15 minutes from Lucca and there is a little grocery store walking distance from the apartment. They make their own cured meats and have a good selection of cheeses. We were able to pick up all we needed there. It’s open in the mornings and then again in the late afternoon and evening. We highly recommend them! In addition to seeing Lucca, we’d recommend seeing the Villa Reale, which is about eight minutes down the hill and has beautiful grounds. Communication with reception was always easy, and Francesco in particular was very helpful. I would recommend the apartment to any friends and family thinking of visiting Tuscany.

Lage und Ausblick traumhaft

Traumhafter Ausblick und tolle Umgebung. Die Gartenmöbel sind in die Jahre gekommen und müssten ausgetauscht werden. Küchenutensilien könnten mehr sein, ansonsten praktische und landesübliche Ferienwohnung.
