Guest Reviews

• Jared (10/5): - The hosts were EXTREMELY helpful in getting us around and the breakfast was very refreshing.
• Alisha (8/5): - We stayed at this property with our two children recently. I have nothing but good things to say about this beautiful property and the great staff. We stayed in a suite on the top floor. While it was a bit dated, we had plenty of space and it was very clean. We had the best sleeps at the property. It was lovely waking up to the church bells and the birds singing. Breakfast was great! Things to keep in mind - there is no dinner on site so you do need a car and there is no elevator. So if you are staying on the top floor, you have to get your luggage up there. If we come back to this area, we would stay at Villa Alta again.
• Jacob (10/5): - Meget hjælpsomt personale
• laurent (10/5): - Pool and private transportation up to Verona
• David (6/5): - The Villa itself is pretty and quite unique albeit very dated, but our room (Mimosa) was in the attick, accessed via a narrow and relatively steep staircase which proved difficult with suitcases. The room was large but very basic, and not at all comfortable and not the cleanest. The bathroom was relatively small given the generous size of the room, and narrow - small shower with good water pressure, but the sink had very little water pressure. No amenities in the bathroom, other than a wall mounted body wash dispenser in the shower. There is no front-desk per se, no bar (only refrigerator with over-priced drinks), and extremely limited food options that were pricy for what you get (we paid EUR 29 for two bowls of basic pasta for our kids). There are very limited food options in the immediate area, so figure on making a trip to either Lucca or Pisa for lunch/dinner. Breakfast was a non-event - it normally runs from 08:30am however we explained the need for a 7:30am departure as we needed to make an international flight. Basically no food options - they supplied a yogurt and coffee at 7:30am but that was it. We were left with the impression that the Villa is attended by only one or two staff, who are depended on for everything. Access to the property is via a narrow access road, which wasn't difficult to navigate but parking at the top is quite tight especially if you have a larger vehicle. Overall nice property with tremendous potential, but this was a poor experience for us
• Palle (10/5): - Dejligt sted for voksne livsnydere
• Tony (6/5): They will charge you five euro for refill tap wat - Driving in, it was hard because it was unpaved that should’ve been mentioned and the Hostess told us there’s a restaurant down the road that we could eat that we went there. It was closed then we told her you know what how about you? Should I could provide you sandwiches , they charge us €15 for three bottle’s of tap water’s it was not sealed and I told her .
• Joanne (10/5): - We had a lovely stay at villa Alta. The staff were very welcoming, building was historical but modern. Really loved waking up to the birds chirping. Would highly recommend staying here to get away from the hustle and bustle for an authentic counrty feel.
• Mark (8/5): - It was very tranquil but a bit too isolated for us. The staff couldn't do enough for us. It was very hilly.
• Martin (10/5): - This is an amazing Villa located very convenient to Lucca, especially by train. The grounds are immaculate and include a pool, bathhouse, tended garden, and producing olive trees in the back. The front balcony offers a view of Pisa including the leaning tower. We were given the Music room, which is grand with high cooing and large balcony. Our only concern was the bathroom with the doorway being 6 foot tall and made of stone, and my 6 foot 5 inch tall head hitting it several times. Otherwise a fantastic visit.
• Sarah (8/5): Beautiful place to stay between Pisa and Lucca - Hotel was unique, set up on a hill with nice views of Pisa. Staff pleasant and helpful. Room spacious & comfortable. We were lucky with the weather so made use of the lovely pool, but soo many mosquitos, so be warned! Highly recommend staying here for the night if travelling between Pisa and Lucca but you do need a car really as Rigoli is an uninspiring village with only one restaurant which was shut the night we were there. The reason I'm not giving 5* is because the dinner option was very limited and just too expensive for what you get, but other than that we really enjoyed our stay, very peaceful and relaxing
• Annemieke (10/5): Gorgeous Tuscan villa style stay - Villa Alta is just amazing. We stayed 3 nights and it was magical each time to arrive back and drive up the long driveway. Beautiful grounds, very serene feeling & cute & relaxing swimming pool. Very friendly staff - thanks Rafaela & everyone - my daughter Anna and I had a wonderful stay.
• Beng (10/5): - Beautiful property and grounds with very attentive and personal service. Excellent breakfast included. Will return!
• Louise (10/5): Fantastisk ophold - Fuldstændig fantastisk sted med den sødeste service
• Helen (10/5): - Allt var toppen. Inte förstört utav turister,
• Alma (10/5): Superbra!! - Perfekt ställe att bo på om man vill ha en mysig getaway. 15 minuter med bil till Pisa och personalen är fantastiska. Om man har bil hade jag verkligen rekommenderat att bo här!
• thomas (10/5): - Alles bestens Ist nur zu empfehlen Gehe auf jeden Fall noch einmal dahin Wunderbare Gastgeber
• Klaus (10/5): - Sehr schöne Lage in altem Herrschaftssitz mit tollem Ausblick
• Andrea (10/5): - !
• david (10/5): - nice location, really quiet and well preserved !
• Olga (10/5): - Villa Alta provides beautiful history and art-intense setting, wonderful atmosphere and comfortable conditions for memorable romantic, family or individual stay and events. It is located very close to the cities of Lucca and Pisa, surrounded by the very well-designed and kept Mediterranean garden with the clean and beautiful pool aria. Our family enjoyed peace and quiet at the time of our stay. Food was great, too. We highly recommend this place.
• Carl (10/5): - Absolutely wonderful. Raffaella, the owner, makes you feel right at home. I would definitely go back there for an extended stay.
• eric (10/5): mérite le détour - Magnifique maison ! Le petit déjeuner sur la terrasse vaut le détour. Mérite un séjour de plusieurs jours pour profiter de Lucca et Pisa elm mode "détente"
• Asta (10/5): - Over all forventning, både hotellet, omgivelsene og vertsskap!
• Verified traveler (10/5): - La Villa Alta est tout simplement un havre de paix dans un cadre toscan merveilleux. L'emplacement à proximité de Pise est le carrefour idéal pour se rendre aux cinques terres, Florence, Lucques, Sienne et même l'île d'Elbe
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Diese ganz besondere Liebe zu dem aus einer anderen Zeit stammenden, zaubergaften Anwesen, die die beiden Eigentümerinnen vermitteln
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Wunderschöne Unterkunft und sehr zentral gelegen. (viele Städte und Strände nit dem Auto gut zu erreichen) Der Zimmerservice hätte etwas genauer sein können.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - posizione...piscina...idromassaggio e competenza...cosa chiedere di piu???
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Perfect place and very nice personel! We will come back ;)
• Matthias (10/5): - Eines der schönsten Hotels die wir je gesehen haben. Sehr schönes historisches Haus, wunderschöner gepflegter Garten. Sehr freundliches und hilfsbereites Personal und Eigentümer. Kommen sehr gern wieder.
• Giampaolo (8/5): In week end nobile - Ottima location in villa storica
• regis (10/5): Sans faute - Tres agreable sejour en Toscane. Merci a Raphaela pour sa gentilesse
• Artur (10/5): Local a repetir - Local excelente...necessita, contudo, do certo upgrading
• Verified traveler (10/5): Splendida villa in collina - Villa storica del 700; struttura elegante e sofisticata, personale professionale e disponibile
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Extraordinary staffs and an incredible view. Truly had an amazing stay at the villa. It was a little bit difficult to find that's all.
• alexandr (10/5): - Превосходно все!
• Maria Clara (10/5): Perfect! - The place was amazing! The Villa and the surroundings were really beautiful, it can take you to another time. The people at the Villa were really nice, it was confortable and clean and we had an incredible view from the room. As we were staying in two rooms at the same side we had a nice living room between them were we could talk and drink something.
• Helle (10/5): Vidunderligt - Vidunderligt hotel, med skønne unikke værelser og med smuk beliggenhed

Fabulous views and lovely gar - Firsly thanks to fabulous staff- Raffaella,Monica, Elisabetta and Florian for helping to make our stay so enjoyable.They were warm, attentive and flexible Our rooms in the villa were huge with spectacular views. The pool was spotlessly clean and a lovely spot to relax. Breakfast was good and a great start to the day looking out from the terrace. The Purdue family
• Christian (8/5): - Nous avons opté pour un paiement complémentaire afin d'obtenir la suite, indépendante du bâtiment principal. Chambre tres récente avec belle decoration et terrasse privative vraiment très bien..que nous conseillons vivement. Proprietaires sympatiques. Piscine et jacuzzy parmi les orangers ..et un jardin merveilleux.
• José Rodolfo (8/5): The best view of Pisa - The place is great and the attention perfect. It's not a regular Hotel but a very nice and pleasant BB with a marvelous view. Come here to relax and enjoy the Toscana mood.
• Anja (10/5): - Ein sehr hübsches Hotel in traumhafter Lage. Nur das Frühstück hätte besser organisiert werden können.
• Alan (6/5): Strange Villa more suited for a museum - We found this property very hard to find at night and needs a proper sign outside like a few others we saw. It's set in a huge plot of land and you have to drive up some very tight gravel drives. It is an intriguingly set out Villa with beautiful grounds but gas no soul. The bedroom was huge but rather empty with very wonderful painted walls that left you wondering why you were sleeping in a museum or gallery. The bathroom was very odd and the breakfast was laughable if it was not for the nice coffee. Really a strange and rather clod experience that we will not repeat.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Sehr schöne alte Villa, tolles Zimmer, gutes Frühstück. Gute Lage zwischen Pisa und Lucca. Gute Pizzeria nebenan.
• Marko (10/5): Tuscan villa on a hill, great views... - We stayed there for one night, while traveling through Toscana. The Villa is located on a hill, therefore the views are superb. The breakfast is served on the terrace, if the weather allows it, so you can enjoy the view while eating breakfast. Overall a nice option, but do not expect hotel amenities, since this is not your standard hotel.
• Vincent (10/5): Très belle maison - Maison située dans un magnifique parc arborisé et fleuri, les chambres sont très spacieuses avec une vue sublime. Tout le confort moderne dans de vieux murs, c'est très réussi. Piscine agréable dans un joli cadre un peu en retrait de la maison.
• Dirk (10/5): Rust in een prachtige omgeving. - Mooie villa in de heuvels vlakbij Pisa. Uitzicht op de stad Pisa (plusminus 20 minuten rijden). Er ligt een spoor, buslijn niet al te ver van de villa. Klein zwembad, ligbedden en grote parasols. Uitzicht. Het ontbijt is niet uitgebreid (maar dat is vrijwel nergens te vinden in Italie). Er is een diner te boeken in een nabijgelegen villa. Het verblijf ligt centraal tov andere plaatsen.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Hele mooie Villa we kregen per ongeluk de bruids suite. Leuk om in deZe villa te overnachtten.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - The hotel was great. It is a typical house with painted walls but clean and fresh. The pool was beautiful ( good for couples, less for family) as the view. The service was friendly and the bottle of wine to replace the breakfast that we'ld miss ( breakfast 9-12h ) was much appreciated. - : the neigborhood : few restaurant near the hotel ( but Pisa and Lucca are close )
• Hannes (10/5): Super Panorama - Tolle Villa Schöner Pool Abseits vom Lärm Nette freundliche Bedienung Gute Lage zw Pisa und Lucca
• Adele (10/5): This is a truly beautiful Tuscan residence - Situated 6km out of Pisa and 8km from Lucca and 1 hour from Florence its an ideal location to explore the area and feel in the middle of the Tuscan hillside. The villa is stunning, romantic and ideal for a wedding. The hosts are increbidally hospitable. They helped us when one of us fell ill. Would recommend a strong car to access the property. You feel completely relaxed after staying here !!
