We had a truly wonderful stay at Villa La Preziosa. The property is absolutely charming – peaceful gardens, elegant historic interiors, and an atmosphere that made us feel like we were in another world. Our room was spacious, clean, and beautifully furnished. One of the highlights was breakfast in the garden – fresh, delicious, and served with great care. The staff were incredibly kind, attentive, and professional throughout our stay. We truly appreciated the warm and personal approach. I’m especially grateful for the lovely birthday surprise – a beautiful cake and heartfelt wishes from the staff. It was such a kind gesture and made my day even more special. The location is perfect – just a short drive from the historic center of Lucca, yet calm and surrounded by nature. We highly recommend Villa La Preziosa to anyone looking for an authentic and memorable experience in Tuscany. We’d love to come back one day!

From the moment I arrived, I was given a very warm welcome and information about the local area. Nothing was too much trouble and they kindly made a restaurant reservation for me, having asked what sort of food and restaurant I would prefer (and turned out to be an excellent recommendation). The pool and grounds were very relaxing and the room very comfortable, tastefully renovated to retain its character and charm but with all the modern conveniences you could want. A really exceptional place to stay and I only wished I could have stayed longer. Thank you so much for making me so welcome and sharing a piece of Lucca.

Nothing!

The hosts were very friendly and accommodating. They cared about our experience, and were helpful giving suggestions for things to do and making dinner suggestions and reservations. The rooms, property and breakfast had everything we could have wanted, and we felt like part of the family. They suggested visiting Villa Reale, Napolean's sister's palace, which was very beautiful.

The only thing I could have asked for is an extra pillow. Lucca was not my favorite city, but the hosts gave us great suggestions of other things to do and see outside of the city, which helped to make our stay wonderful.

Our host Barbara made our stay very enjoyable. Amazing lady, Kind and helpful as were Gunter and Julian. A Beautiful building and outdoor seating area very relaxing and well presented. Our room was spacious and comfortable and the only hotel we stayed in with Netflix as an option. Breakfast excellent both presentation and quality. Great location for Lucca.

We were disappointed the pool and loungers weren’t available as the weather was superb for afternoon outdoor relaxing however we understand the owners situation with time required to refurbish the pool being very necessary.

Gunther and Barbara were very accommodating hosts, welcoming us on check-in with a glass of sparkling and then showing us to our room. Then also very willing to talk about the villa and Lucca town. Room was spacious and clean. Breakfast was a very nice touch, with fresh coffee and egg orders taken daily.

Due to our own fault, accessing the villa without a car is difficult and having to rely on local taxis or the bus. Can be quite costly and unreliable with timing, so please ensure you have a car for accessibility to Lucca town and nearby towns. Not being able to have a takeaway breakfast due to an earlier check-out as there is no one in the villa until 7am to assist for dining.

Very friendly family-owned business, very well renovated villa, beautiful garden, very clean, good location to make day trips to Lucca and Pisa (if you have a car).

For the high price, I expected a bit more attention to detail (e.g., the fridge for the mini bar was just standing in the room and not hidden/integrated, plastic flowers, not the highest quality of furniture etc.). Breakfast was good, but not great. Overall, my perception is that the stay was nice, but based on value for money, I would not go again. However, this does not mean that this is not the right place for you. It is special for sure, and it can be easily enjoyed.

This beautiful villa is situated just outside the main city of Lucca. If you don't have a car, you can easily take a taxi from the train station, which is what we did. Upon arrival, we were warmly welcomed with a smile and some delicious wine. We spent three relaxing days by the pool, enjoying spritz made with their homemade limoncello from their own lemons—the best we've had on our trip! Without a car, we chose to rent bikes from the villa and cycled into the main town, which was a delightful way to explore Lucca. We also walked to and from the main town one day, as we love walking. Since the villa operates as a B&B, there’s a great selection of breakfast options available. Before your stay, they will send you dinner recommendations. For those without a car, the villa offers light lunch options and pizza for dinner. On two evenings, we took a pleasant stroll and discovered Regine Pizzeria with amazing pasta, Kelpero Pizza, and Gelateria Angiolino for dessert—all about a 15-20 minute walk from the villa, depending on your pace. The hosts are incredibly friendly and enjoy getting to know their guests. We can’t wait to come back to this place. Thank you for hosting us.

Everything about Villa La Preziosa was greater than our expectations. Barbara was so hospitable and gave us some good recommendations for places to visit. It was a short drive to Lucca (very limited taxis) with some lovely restaurants, many of which were recommended. We had a few hours around the pool on a couple of days and it was lovely and quiet. The rooms are beautiful and the house has been renovated very sympathetically. We would love to stay there again if we visit Tuscany.

Everything was amazing!

From the moment we arrived we were welcomed as though we were family. The people and their hospitality were wonderful! They were very accommodating and helpful with recommendations. We used the property as our ideal location for day trips to Sienna, into the old city of Lucca, as well as the surrounding area.

Not walking distance to old city

Thank you Barbara and Gunther for your warm welcome and hospitality. On arrival we were greeted with a glass of champagne and we were offered an upgrade on our already beautiful room to a more beautiful and spacious room. Villa La Preziosa is a gorgeous Villa with a big pretty garden. The attention to detail through out the Villa will always be remembered. I would recommend Villa La Preziosa for a stay in Lucca. Hope to back soon
