Tenuta San Giovanni Lucca - Borgo Ai Rovai

We are truly impressed by your place and we’re leaving with beautiful memories. Your dogs are sweet and loving — they brightened every evening and even joined us on walks around the area like personal tour guides. Your garden is pure magic! The scent of jasmine will forever remind us of this place. And the taste of rosemary and mint — unforgettable. The house is located on a hill with an incredible view, surrounded by olive groves. Inside, you’ll find everything you need to create a true Italian dinner — the kitchen looks like it’s straight out of an Italian movie. Cooking here was a real pleasure. Every room is air-conditioned, and the view from the master bedroom is breathtaking. The pool is spotless and tucked away in a peaceful corner. This is the perfect place for total relaxation, far from the hustle and bustle of the city.

Nature , dogs that was friendly , the view

Water was having a bad smell, tap water wasn’t running,seems they need new armature in bathroom , no klima, everything was very old eaten by bugs, bad smell in the entrance

It was beautiful and well furnished, we loved the quiet surroundings and scenery from the house. Bathrooms/shower were great, beds were comfortable, kitchen was well-equipped.

The only negative was there was no handrail on the stairs, but that was only a problem for me personally because I had had a knee replacement in recent months.

The pool and the pool area is nice. A short walking distance down the hill. The hosts were nice and very helpful and tried their best to help us with the various problems we had.

The house is very high up on a mountain and the road is a very small and crooked pathway. Getting all the way up in our van was no easy task. Our van broke down and then no taxis were willing to pick us up in the house. The house has no air condition and was extremely hot, especially the upper floors. The owners gave us extra fans which helped but was not enough. The kitchen equipment is old and not up to our standard. We could never really cook in the house. The outdoor barbeque area is quite shabby. We were greeted by two very loud dogs which barked a lot the whole stay. Would have liked to know beforehand that there would be loose dogs around.

Nothing. Within five minutes we decided not to stay. The property was not as advertised. It was isolated, inaccessible and at the top of a mountain. The picture (of a swimming pool which could be anywhere) is extremely misleading.

The isolation, the inaccessiblity and the owner's two dangerous dogs which he did not keep under control. Our safety and well being was compromised. As we left, one of the dogs tried to jump into our car through the window. We didn't stay, he's refusing to refund our money. His actual words: "You give me problem. I give you nothing" Avoid at all costs

Beautiful property, perfectly renovated country location and vistas. Just as memorable was the friendly greeting by the dog who lived next door and was always happy to see us return

Just to be aware that parking and approach for a bigger car can be tricky at first
