Villa Cecilia, Facing Lucca's City Walls

The location was close to the old town. The kitchen had good utilities. Good size of the house for 8 friends. 4 (3 working) bathrooms and one separate toilet. Key code, so we could split and all come in the house.

The first night was awful as the alarm and the electricity went off, but they got an electrician the next morning. Two of the bathrooms also had water leakage on the floor. He fixed one toilet, but the downstairs one he could not fix as the water came through the ceiling from bathrooms upstairs. The basement was mouldy and most of us would not sleep down there. In reality there is only 5 bedrooms as one upstairs is without doors, and the living room in the basement is also considered as bedroom. There was a smell in the whole house, maybe it had been closed for a while? But we had all the windows we could open. The aircondition didn't properly work, the bedrooms at the top floor would be very hot in the summer and just windows in the ceiling that didn't open properly. There were also trafic noise from the street in the night. The wifi worked poorly. The outdoor place was dirty, probarly from a storm the night before, but it didnt look very cozy and inviting. The host said he would charge us 50 EURO because he had to meet us after business hours, otherwise we had to pick up the keys 5 km away. I didn't see any information about this when we booked. So far, he has not charged us, and that's good.

Beautiful house, great location,

All three main bedrooms lacked effective conditioning and were very uncomfortable. House had a lot misquitoes also.

Very spacious, great position. Lovely terrace. Very helpful host.

Some of the showers and sinks didn’t drain well. Upstairs bedrooms were very hot and the air conditioning didn’t seem to function strongly enough.

beautiful house, lovely hosts and perfect location.

Villa was beautiful and very well placed to walk to centre of Lucca. Quirky layout but plenty of space for a large family or group.

Villa Cecilia is a stately home located just outside the famed walls of Lucca. Usually, when I visit Lucca, I stay inside the old city. In the future, I'll always stay at Villa Cecilia. The difference: trading a 2-munite walk to the old city for a ton of extra space in the home. As Tiziana provided the home-your as we checked in, we were all in awe; this place just doesn't end. Villa Cecilia has some six, good-sized bedrooms, a huge living room, and additional seating areas in the lower level. There is an incredible roof-deck off the second level as well as a pergola and garden space below. This is 10-times the space one would expect inside the walls. Check-in and communication were great as were the welcome-items in the home. If Villa Cecilia is available for your dates, book it!
