Nestled into olive groves with views of Lucca in the distance, the villa has all the charm of rural Tuscany but makes a convenient base for exploring the area. And although the six-bedroom Villa was restored in 2020 to feature perks like its own Spa, its architecture is still beautifully traditional. Get a glimpse of daily life in Italy as you stroll the villa’s garden, relax on the terrace, dip into the panoramic swimming pool, grill local produce on the barbecue and sip wine at the outdoor dining area while gazing at the far-off medieval towers of Lucca. Whether you’ve been biking in the countryside or just sampling the local gelato, treat yourself to a session in the villa’s indoor jacuzzi at candlelight and an evening in front of the antique chimneypiece watching your favourite movies in multiple languages. Though you can see the past of VILLA IL CASTELLO in its traditional brick floors, beamed ceilings and fireplaces, the interiors feel bright and airy thanks to updated furniture and crisp light blue and white paint. Let yourself be charmed by the living room’s geometric-patterned rug and elaborately carved sofa table as you sink into the sleek taupe sectional. A long table, eclectic chairs and a contemporary chandelier make the dining room particularly inviting, and the fully equipped kitchen has a central breakfast bar perfect for gathering around. The bedrooms at VILLA IL CASTELLO have the same intriguing combination of soft, traditional earth-toned walls and furnishings with a slightly modern edge.

The Villa was beyond expectations The Villa, the decoration, the linens, the comfort of the rooms, the pool, the outside sitting and dining area. The flowers and herb bushes and lemon trees were spectacular. The day and night view of Lucca was breathless. We were 9 adults with 2 young children and we will all never forget this memorial week at the Villa Castello… Thank-you ##### Brigitte This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ella May 19, 2025 #### Stunning Villa This was by far one of the most beautiful places we have stayed at. Unbelievable 360-degree views, incredible amenities. Our group of five was very comfortable but it could have accommodated many more people as well. It may be hundreds of years old but has all of the modern comforts (including excellent A/C and fully outfitted kitchen). There wasn’t a single detail that hadn’t been thought of, and it’s only 20 minutes from the Lucca town center. ##### Ella This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Hanna Apr 18, 2024 #### Fantastic stay The Villa is just stunning and even more beautiful than on the pictures.

Clean and nice garden. Well decorated and good beds/showers. Only comment is that the kitchen is very small for a big house so it was hard to cook and tidy up after meals. The bbq helped in that regard. Erica was helpful throughout.

There were 9 of us in total and there was plenty of space for us all. The villa was stunning, clean and well maintained. Facilities were great and had everything we would need. The 360 views around the villa are breathtaking, we ended up spending so much time outside in the gardens. We also held a small wedding ceremony on one day we were there which the villa team ensured would go smoothly through communication with ourselves and our wedding planner. We absolutely loved our stay and would recommend it to anyone. ##### Jennifer This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ashley May 26, 2019 #### Tuscan Paradise We were a group of 10 friends from Canada starting a three week journey to Italy.

We had one of our best holidays here with four other couples. The villa is spacious and intriguing. The Jacuzzi was a huge hit. One evening we had a delicious dinner prepared by a local chef. My best memory is drinking wine on the veranda while listening to the music from the village festival. Simona was the most attentive agent I have ever dealt with.

The scenery was beautiful, the landscaping was amazing, and the view was unmatched. The property was even more beautiful than the pictures. Our granddaughter loved running through the yard and seeing all the flowers and citrus plants. We enjoyed the jacuzzi almost every evening. Sitting at the bistro overlooking the city was our favorite place for coffee. The beds were amazing and we all the best sleep. It was a short drive into Lucca, which is an amazing city to explore, shop, and eat in. We had a large van and driving up and down the mountain was no problem. The whole family was sad to leave and are already talking about when we can return. ##### Season This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mary Oct 19, 2019 #### Our family of 8 had the most fabulous stay at Villa Il Castello set in the countryside near Lucca Our family of 8 had the most fabulous stay at Villa Il Castello set in the countryside near Lucca. The beautiful villa was warm, inviting and extremely comfortable. The rooms were charming, well appointed and clean. The kitchen was super well stocked with all the amenities we required. Along with a large dining room, the villa also had two lovely outdoor eating spaces. The views from the garden just outside the vila overlook the large pool and vistas of Lucca city. The Jacuzzi was perfect to come home to at the end of each day We spent a blissful 5 days at the villa and would highly recommend it to anyone that is interested. The Lucca Apartments and Villa's team coordinated our stay seamlessly over email and once we were at the villa Manuela, our concierge, took great care of us!

It was set up on a hilltop with amazing views, gorgeous, landscaping, and pool. The house is very historic with great history, which was shared with us. It’s also very quiet and peaceful especially in the early morning. Although the house was a little difficult to find initially, Erica was wonderful at meeting up with us and giving us directions. She was extremely responsive with each and every requestquestion This house is in a great location with a 10 minute drive into town. It was easy to find parking and explore all the wonderful restaurants and stores and historic buildings. It was also a fun place to rent bikes and explore the beautiful area. We also ventured off each day to a new location. The house is very centralized in Tuscany area and therefore it was easy to arrange excursions within 1-2 hours of the Villa. We would certainly stay again at this beautiful property ##### Michael This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ashley Apr 29, 2019 #### This villa exceeded all of our group's expectations (and that is saying quite a bit as our group of This villa exceeded all of our group's expectations (and that is saying quite a bit as our group of 7 ladies were away from our families for 7 days and wanted a top notch vacation!) The host, Sonia, met us upon our arrival with fresh pastries, a history of the villa and maps with key points of interest. She coordinated our first night's meal by a local woman, gave us in-formation to local favorite restaurants and sites, took us to several behind-the-scenes desti-nations such as the local smithy, olive press and family-owned vineyard as well as massages at the villa. The villa was very comfortable, neat and had many special touches like a wel-come basket filled with local delights. It was ample for a party our size with room to spare. I can not say enough about how truly wonderful our visit was and only wish we were going again this year. Here's to returing for our 50thsooner if we can sneak away from our husbands and children!

We spent a beautiful week in Lucca celebrating a milestone birthday. Villa Castello is a truly impressive property, with beautiful grounds, an amazing swimming pool and very comfort-able beds. The villa is very spacious and our group of 10 adults found it very comfortable. The kitchen has all the necessary. One of the highlights of the week was meeting our hostess Cristina. Prior to our arrival she asked if we would be interested in some music at the villa and as we were there to celebrate a birthday I quickly took her up on her suggestion. It turned out to be the best night we had at the villa! Cristina and her husband were fantastic, they set up prior to dinner so we had dinner music and then they sang and entertained us the rest of the evening. Cristina is a great singer and her husband is a skilled musician, play-ing several instruments. We danced and laughed the night away! I would highly recommend booking Cristina for your special evening at the villa, it will make your stay that much more memorable. Looking forward to returning to Lucca. ##### Adele This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Christine Mar 31, 2019 #### thank you for this amazing experience We stayed at the property in late March 2019. Our stay was absolutely wonderful. The Vil-la was beautifully done. Bedrooms were comfortable, the kitchen large, the living spaces spacious and more than enough for everyone. The house was immaculate. The grounds were beautiful, the garden was romantic and elegant with many lemon trees and the ga-zebo on the top of the fortress surrounding the property with a breathtaking view. The Jacuzzi pool was a welcome relief in the afternoon and well used by our children. We were also blessed with a lovely owner available for our request and always met with a big smile. The Lucca Apartments and Villas Team, the host, was outstanding. They were like a personal concierge. They helped arran-ge anything we needed during our excursions thru Tuscany. Advice on best places to see, best spots to park, best restaurants to visit. This is my 8th visit to Italy, but I saw it through new eyes. This note is just to say how much we loved our stay in Villa Il Castello. This Villa was the PERFECT way to appreciate Tuscany: it's location, the views, and especially the hospitality, It is a magical place! We loved every moment. A million thanks. ##### Christine This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Juan Pablo Dec 25, 2023 #### Gracias Las fotos no le hacen justicia es mucho mejor en persona está impecable, en la cima de una pequeña montaña con vista a todo Lucca una casona vieja cuidada hasta el último detalle la empresa que administra nos pasó el dato de unas chefs que te dan cena y cata de vinos delicioso Gracias ##### Juan Pablo
