Guest reviews
What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“Struttura alberghiera spettacolare immersa nel verde e nascosta tra le colline lucchesi. É inevitabile rilassarsi al bordo della piscina esterna aperta sempre ed usufruibile anche il giorno del check-out. Attenzione al cliente ottima! La signora Chiara che mi ha accolto alla reception è stata gentilissima e molto disponibile poiché, dopo un inconveniente con la mia camera singola, si è preoccupata di risolvere il problema è successivamente sostituirmi la camera con una tripla, pertanto, addirittura, molto più grande della mia. Le camere sono molto pulite. In entrambe non era presente la TV. La colazione, se bel tempo, si effettua all'aperto nel giardino dell'hotel.”
