Aug 22, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Tolles Toskana-Erlebnis Wir hatten einen wundervollen Aufenthalt in der Villa Rosalena. Die Villa bietet ausreichend Platz für zwei Familien. Die Zimmer sind großzügig und mit eigenem Bad. Das ist sicherlich ein Highlight. Handtücher in ausreichender Anzahl inkl. für den Pool werden bereit gestellt. Das Ambiente ist eher rustikal und einfach gehalten. Daraus ergibt sich aber ein stimmiges Gesamtkonzept. Trotz kleinerer Küche, kann man für viele Leute kochen, da alles Nötige vorhanden ist. Ein besonderes Highlight ist die überdachte Terrasse von der man einen herrlichen Blick auf Bagni di Lucca hat und auf der man auch bei regnerischen Stunden gemütlich sitzen kann. Insgesamt ist das ganze Grundstück sehr liebevoll angelegt. Überall gibt es schöne Sitzplätze. Hervorzuheben ist auch der Grillplatz unter dem Quittenbaum. Dort kann man sehr schön sitzen und laue Sommerabende verbringen (Mückenschutz nicht vergessen). Auch das Pooldeck ist schön angelegt mit einem tollen Blick auf die Berge. Auch wenn die Liegestühle und die Pooltreppe schon bessere Tage gesehen haben. Der Pool selbst ist aber super. Hinweis: Das Grundstück ist aufgrund der Hanglage und der vielen Treppen eher nicht für Kleinstkinder geeignet, da diese dort nicht gefahrlos herum rennen können. Ab Grundschulalter sollte es aber kein Thema sein. Für das Einkaufen und auch für Touren in die Umgebung sollte man sich darauf einrichten, dass man aufgrund der Infrastruktur auch für verhältnismäßig kurze Strecken länger unterwegs sein kann (50km Strand -> ca. 1Std). Hervorzuheben ist die tolle Betreuung durch den Gastgeber Rod. Er wohnt auf dem Grundstück, trotzdem hat man eine optimale Privatsphäre. Wann immer man ihn braucht ist er persönlich oder per WhatsApp erreichbar und gibt umgehend Rückmeldung auf alle Fragen. Darüber hinaus hat immer noch einen tollen Tipp. Ein vergessenes Ladegerät wurde unkompliziert an uns geschickt. Fazit: Unser Aufenthalt in Bagni di Lucca bot uns ein herrliches Toskana-Erlebnis bei optimalen Preis-/Leistungsverhältnis. ##### Alice W.

The house is wonderfully situated with a terrific view of the river, mountains and the city. Rooms are large and kitchen is new and efficient. The beautiful view uphill does come with many stairs, which is definitively charming, but might be a challenge for some senior visitors. Rod is a really nice and very helpful host and we enjoyed our stay tremendously. PS: Try the recommended bathing place in the Lima river and also the activities in the Canyon Park. ##### Anders N.

This is a quiet little town but with good train link nearby to travel more widely although a car is a bonus for shopping etc. The property does have a lot of steps so not for anyone unstable or elderly.

Aug 26, 2017 #### A beautiful property with loads of character and charm. This was a super place to stay. With sun deck, plunge pool and beautiful loggia, all overlooking the delightful river, it was difficult to drag ourselves away. But the charming villages and the proximity to Lucca and Pisa made day trips well worth it. There is a great BBQ area if you weren't in the mood for eating out, but also many quality restaurants and trattorias. Our hosts made our trip even better providing useful local knowledge and information. Rod was on hand for any questions or emergencies(we broke a shelf!) but we never felt that he was intruding. We cannot recommend this villa highly enough. ##### Brian M. This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Patrick D. Sep 8, 2016 #### Lovely views, overlooking beautiful villas, interesting buildings and the river Valley. Rod met us as we arrived late and made sure we got installed safely and easily. The wine and food set out for our welcome was really appreciated and a nice touch. Villa Rosalena is spacious and clean and has many interesting features. All the mod cons, and every bedroom an ensuite. It was very cosy and we'll miss waking to the beautiful vistas. Really good spot to explore this part of Tuscany. Make sure you take time to walk in both directions from the villa because there's lots of places nearby worth a look. ##### Patrick D. This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Andy M. May 24, 2016 #### Everything it said it was! Have to say, it was everything it said it was. Communication with the owner very good prior to our arrival, meet us when we arrived, offered suggestions on where to go etc, do ask him as having lived there for 10 years he should know! Clean and tidy when we arrived, had the whole run of the property, all 4 beds made up for a party of 4, we could have had a room each! The view is to die for. In the older part of Bagni and a car is needed to get to the supermarket is it is in the newer part and that is a good walk. Local bar and restaurants just up the road. Whilst there we visited Lucca, Florence (by train from Lucca, 15 Euros return, although you could drive to Prato) and Pisa. So much to see in Florence you need more than a day. In fact you need more than a week for the same reason. I'd happily recommend it. Also offers B&B. ##### Andy M.

Our extended family stayed here in June and we had the whole place to ourselves. Very large house well fittted out including a dishwasher 2 fridges and a great Barbeque. We took the owner Rod's advice and did the local walk over the top of the hill behind the property. It was such a lovely route and showed lots of places that we had not guessed were there. All the local restaurants were very special and not expensive. We went to Lucca and Florence but always couldn't wait to get back to the arched loggia to watch the lights come on in the town and to gaze at the river. We will definitely be back.

Jul 26, 2014 #### beautiful villa in gorgeous location We would highly recommend this villa - we had a fantastic holiday and the local scenery is spectacular. The English-speaking owners, who live onsite, could not have been more helpful and accommodating. The only negative is that it is unsuitable for anyone with mobility problems - there are a lot of steps up to the property and also within the building itself, but there is an advisory on this in the property listing. ##### Elaine B.

It's a stunning location and burnt a few calories climbing the steps to the villa but worth it for the stunning views from the loggia. The rooms are huge and spacious and bathrooms are lovely. Was a great place to stay and only a short walk from the town. We were here for a friends wedding and so glad we hired ths villa as gave us flexibility and comfort. The owners communicated excellently and gave a lovely welcome pack. Would not hesitate to return and recommend to others. Thank you so much. ##### Andrea D.

Do you extol the virtues of the accomodation or do you start with the great welcome from hosts Rod and Caroline. We hired the top floor of the Villa Rosalena equating to 4 bedrooms in August 2011. A recently built kitchenette means that the self catering experience can be enjoyed with all mod cons provided! In short, everything that the traveller can think of is on site, from a comfy loggia with soft seating and outside table (we never used the inside dining room ourselves) to a lounge area with SKY television (you can get English language for those of us less up to speed with the Italian language very easily), Wii, DVD's books etc. The small decking area was fine for us to lie out in the baking heat (although the area is hilly, the sun hits the terrace from 9.30 to 5.30 at the moment and reached an abnormally high 42C in our first week) and a small plunge pool was welcoming if it got too hot (for those wanting an olympic size experience try Bagni's large public pool...we did'nt,,,but instead enjoyed a simple dip if we needed cooling down). Free Wifi was a big plus as we could check on trainItalias web site whilst lying in the sunshine and plan our next trip into Lucca or beyond. All the rooms were spacious with plenty of cupboard space and all were en-suite. The view from Chocolato (our room) was perfect with whisps of smoke drifting across the valley and town in the early morning, which we saw through green shuttered windows. We utilised the barbecue area twice and enjoyed the experience but, as many people had mentioned Caroline's cooking in previous reviews we had to sample an evening meal......In short the wow factor was achieved with ease! Tell her what you like and you'll experience a first class taste of Tuscany as well as friendly banter from Rod as he plays "mine host" making a "special" meal a truly family affair. Rod and Caroline quite simply are the perfect hosts and do their utmost to look after you in this little piece of Tuscan heaven. Although the steps up to the villa are, in truth, not for the faint hearted, Rod was always there to help with cases and the views from the loggia make up for the walk from the road below where we parked our car (a car would be a good suggestion if you want to get up into the more hilly villages or simply explore higher altitudes). Ask for advice and it's there, ask for a place to relax and enjoy Northern Tuscany..go no further! ##### Mark W.

Sep 1, 2011 #### Happy stay in Villa Rosalena First want to announce that the owners are very nice & kind people. When we arrived at the vila in the late evening, the owner had all the patience to wait for us, and to show us the villa and everything around. We already knew we choosed the perfect place to stay when we saw the great property inside, the nice villa decor/ interior and the beauty outside the place. The villa was very clean and the most of all the rooms, included the bedrooms were very nice and lovely. Amazing place to stay for a holiday, especially for groups or families with children or couples with children. Location was perfect to make daytrips with own or public transport to Lucca, Pisa and Florence. The view was also amazing outside in Bagni Di Lucca, also the mountains. The facilities were also perfect. It was our first time here, but we enjoyed this vacation so much, that we decide to come back here very soon. We are very thankfull to the kind owner who takes very care of us and everything. The custumor service was great! We will recommend this property to all my friends and family or relatives. Our children enjoyed the delicious pizza from the neighbour pizzarestaurant and the swimmingpool outside the villa.This villa is for my information not very suitable for disabled travellers or people with a difficulty walking because of the long stairs up and down to the villa direction. We had a great time and a nice stay in Villa Rosalena. Thank you for your kindness and helpfulness. ##### Sabita S.

Aug 13, 2011 #### exceeds expectations Yes-- Villa Rosalena and its surroundings truly are as stunning as the photos show them to be. The rooms are beautiful, and well-kept. But the house is not only beautiful, but also fun! My friends and I (seven students) found it well-stocked with all sorts of lovely things (a dvd collection for all ages, books, wireless internet, boardgames, and even a wii), never leaving us at a loss for things to do. During our week-long stay, we made day trips to Pisa, Florence, and Lucca. Very useful in these were the many guidebooks present in the house. We did all our moving about by foot and by train. This was doable, but not ideal. The walk to the train station is about 40 minutes, and not very visually stimulating (or safe, as it is a car road). Also, the train service in summer isn't very regular (but on time, in our experience). Check the train schedule in advance, for planning purposes. A bike or a car would have been useful for getting around. The owners of the Villa Rosalena were great from the start. We were picked up from the train station upon arrival, and given a tour of the house. We were delighted to find a substantial welcome package of local goodies, and some kitchen essentials (olive oil, salt, pepper, vinegar, oregano) present. On one occasion we ran into our hosts in the local supermarket, and they kindly offered to transport our heavy groceries back to the house (we were on foot). We would describe their general attitude as laid-back but helpful. Hence, we would all recommend Villa Rosalena to friends or relatives. It's many fun facilities were such a happy surprise, and the natural beauty of the environment unmatched. ##### Dan B. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Poderi Arcangelo](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Gimignano-Hotels-Poderi-Arcangelo.h1492186.Hotel-Information) > > [Castello di Casole, A Belmond Hotel, Tuscany](https://www.expedia.ca/Casole-DElsa-Hotels-Castello-Di-Casole.h5058985.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Le Fioriere](https://www.expedia.ca/Praiano-Hotels-Hotel-Le-Fioriere.h1897502.Hotel-Information) > > [Cristina Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/SantAgnello-Hotels-Cristina-Hotel.h16729.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Hotel Excelsior Amalfi](https://www.expedia.ca/Amalfi-Hotels-Grand-Hotel-Excelsior-Amalfi.h1105705.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel San Giorgio](https://www.expedia.ca/Civitavecchia-Hotels-Hotel-San-Giorgio.h1709306.Hotel-Information) > > [Borgo Scopeto Wine & Country Relais](https://www.expedia.ca/Castelnuovo-Berardenga-Hotels-Borgo-Scopeto-Relais.h1277546.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel President Viareggio](https://www.expedia.ca/Viareggio-Hotels-Hotel-President-Viareggio.h1089282.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Mulino di Firenze, WorldHotels Crafted](https://www.expedia.ca/Florence-Hotels-Mulino-Di-Firenze.h3619961.Hotel-Information) > > [Residence Panoramic](https://www.expedia.ca/Maiori-Hotels-Residence-Hotel-Panoramic.h44539994.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Sorrento Palace](https://www.expedia.ca/Sorrento-Hotels-Hilton-Sorrento-Palace.h791135.Hotel-Information) > > [Anantara Convento di Amalfi Grand Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Amalfi-Hotels-NH-Collection-Grand-Hotel-Convento-Di-Amalfi.h2885039.Hotel-Information) > > [Castello Vicchiomaggio](https://www.expedia.ca/Greve-In-Chianti-Hotels-Castello-Vicchiomaggio.h7564854.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Chalet Al Foss](https://www.expedia.ca/Vermiglio-Hotels-Hotel-Chalet-Al-Foss.h9810090.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Lake Como](https://www.expedia.ca/Como-Hotels-Hilton-Lake-Como.h17246644.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Borgo San Luigi](https://www.expedia.ca/Monteriggioni-Hotels-Hotel-Borgo-San-Luigi.h527532.Hotel-Information) > > [Castello di Spaltenna- Small Luxury Hotels of the World](https://www.expedia.ca/Gaiole-In-Chianti-Hotels-Castello-Di-Spaltenna.h2540741.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Marina Riviera](https://www.expedia.ca/Amalfi-Hotels-Hotel-Marina-Riviera.h1419029.Hotel-Information) > > [UNA Hotels Capotaormina](https://www.expedia.ca/Taormina-Hotels-UNAHOTELS-Capotaormina.h22100.Hotel-Information) > > [Villa di Piazzano - Small Luxury Hotel of the World](https://www.expedia.ca/Cortona-Hotels-Villa-Di-Piazzano-Small-Luxury-Hotel-Of-The-World.h971985.Hotel-Information) > > [Santa Caterina](https://www.expedia.ca/Amalfi-Hotels-Santa-Caterina.h2541496.Hotel-Information) > > [Verdura Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Sciacca-Hotels-Verdura-Resort.h2512326.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Miramalfi](https://www.expedia.ca/Amalfi-Hotels-Hotel-Miramalfi.h1130642.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Mary](https://www.expedia.ca/Vico-Equense-Hotels-Hotel-Mary.h4947835.Hotel-Information) > > [Altafiumara Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Villa-San-Giovanni-Hotels-Altafiumara-Resort-Spa.h1366348.Hotel-Information) > > [Grotta Giusti Thermal Spa Resort Tuscany, Autograph Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Monsummano-Terme-Hotels-Grotta-Giusti-Thermal-Spa-Resort-Tuscany.h904294.Hotel-Information) > > [Borgo Vescine](https://www.expedia.ca/Radda-In-Chianti-Hotels-Il-Borgo-Di-Vescine.h1180553.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Palladium Sicilia Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Campofelice-Di-Roccella-Hotels-Grand-Palladium-Sicilia-Resort-Spa-All-Inclusive.h2032217.Hotel-Information) > > [Castello Di Vicarello](https://www.expedia.ca/Cinigiano-Hotels-Castello-Di-Vicarello.h1760188.Hotel-Information) > > [Caruso, A Belmond Hotel, Amalfi Coast](https://www.expedia.ca/Ravello-Hotels-Caruso.h1129096.Hotel-Information)
