An exceptional find - we wouldn’t hesitate to go back. Our room was clean, spacious and full of character. The air conditioning worked well and provided a welcome retreat from the afternoon sun. Best of all was the staff, who were simply delightful.

Huge disappointment
This B&B was really disappointing. When we arrived in our room, there was a huge puddle of water on the floor. We informed the front desk and they brought towels to mop it up, but didn't switch us to a new room. Over night, the air conditioner kept leaking, forming a new puddle of water in the morning. We found out in the morning that this was an ongoing issue they were aware of but hadn't fixed, and they were planning to move their B&B to a new property because of these issues. The furniture was generally run down too. When we went swimming in the pool, the water had a horrible chemical taste that coated our teeth and after ten minutes we had to get out for fear that it was unsafe. The pool chairs were also damaged. Overall, this property is run down and was incredibly disappointing.

Great B&B, quick walk to the walled city
We stayed 2 nights and had a great time. Stefano was courteous and helpful, with good suggestions for food and sights. Breakfast and cafe' were included and were delicious. Our room had a balcony that overlooked the gated courtyard, with views of city and surrounding hills. Gated parking lot was perfect - we parked our car securely then walked 15 minutes to the gates of the walled city.

Despite a grumpy and unhelpful front desk staff, this hotel on the edge of Lucca is convenient, well organized and walkable (about 15 mins) to the old city center. The room was nice (if a bit odd-shaped), everything worked and was clean, the breakfast was good (although they limit you to one cappucino per person (you pay for additional ones). There is a large outdoor swimming pool and abundant lounge chairs. You can probably find a hotel closer to the center, but this has a country feel and the streets are safe and easily walked.

Excellent but shame about the rants
Very good, just the strange situation that the place isn't manned after 5pm and they seem to take exception if you arrive after then. Isn't this what a hotel does? The various notices regarding this cut-off I actually found quite offensive - apart from that it was very good and would actually stay again - beautiful building and lovely garden with swimming pool and good breakfasts

Good B&B just outside Lucca
Within a 15-20mins walk into Lucca this is an ideal B&B for a short stay break, especially as it has the added benefit of a swimming pool! The place is a little quirky and set out on its own so you do need to walk into the city or have a car to get around if you're not keen on using public transport. We stayed as a family of four for five nights and had an enjoyable time, making use of the bus service to visit Florence and the train for Pisa. We enjoyed walking into Lucca to explore the city in the mornings and returned for an afternoon by the pool before going back into Lucca for the evening, where there are plenty of bars and restaurants. We were able to get a taxi back most nights rather than walk and they ranged between 10 & 15 euros; as they did from the train station. All in all Villa Corte is an ideal base for visiting Lucca and nearby areas.

Cozy attic room just outside the walls of Lucca
We spent 3 nights here-perfect for a weekend getaway. The room was comfortable and cozy, the staff friendly, and it is very close to Lucca. The only drawbacks are that the shower stall is very tiny(understandably so given the space) and the walls are thin (when we had neighbors we heard everything 😫).

Four night stay in Lucca
Overall a lovely stay combining Lucca with lazing by pool. Hotel (size of property and no of guests means larger than your average B&B) is 20 mins walk to centre, so walking in and out twice a day can keep you fit. Multi tasking staff accommodating and helpful and work very hard running between pool bar, breakfast, cleaning and check in. Breakfast good and plentiful. Top bedrooms several flights of stairs and small attic windows as in eaves so if you don't like stairs and want a light and airy room don't book these. Lovely stay, would return.

Such a beautiful place to stay - utterly relaxing.
Beautiful place to stay - lovely pool for daytime relaxing. Short walk to main centre in Lucca which we did on an evening - about 20 mins. Lucca is fantastic. Breakfasts were very nice and staff lovely. The one point I would feedback on improving would be having staff on pool bar from 12 noon to 5pm as the people around the pool were constantly looking for staff for food and drinks, which we experienced also. On the whole the place was excellent and with this small change it would be exceptional.

Nice but cramped
Apartment number 15 This is a nice place to stay it has a really nice big pool Breakfast was ok, seemed to be a really big choice but not quite what you wanted (I usually have this problem do it's probs just me) Luca is a brisk 17 minute walk which we did twice each day We had apartment number 15, it has its own private garden although no gates which went straight to the car park so not so good for the kids. The one major problem we did have was that the apartment we had was far too small We need a double and two Singles but we got a double and a sofa bed. This was not ideal (2 adults, girl 13, boy 9) The room itself just wasn't big enough for 4 people of any size to stay, there was not enough cupboard space to put your clothes, there was no place to actually put all your cases, we hid 3 of them under the bed but had to drag them out to get fresh clothes. Not sure about other apartments but apartment 15 is too small for 4

Nice accommodation near Luca
We stayed at this bed & breakfast for 4 nights with 2 other couples & all had a great time. Our room was decorated in a medieval theme & was clean & comfortable. The pool is fantastic & we were able to buy lunch on site. It's about 20 min walk into the centre of Lucca, a taxi costa about 8 to 10 euros each way. The staff are extremely friendly & helpful. Would highly recommend.

Great value and ambiance for money.
After our first night in a very nice but small room they offered us the independent bungalo which was great for a 5 night stay. The breakfast, pool, free parking and AC room was great. Like most Italian hotels the bed was ok. It was just a short walk to town but in the evening we drove to a parking lost just outside the wall which was free after 8 pm.

You get what you pay for and this was cheap but room was cold and appeared to be an attic room although we paid for a normal double (probably not a winter location to stay at?) Shower leaked faster than it sprayed. However staff were great & very helpful & friendly with blankets etc and a good breakfast.

Good hotel overall
Nice hotel within easy walking distance of lucca - good breakfast variety in the mornings. Only con is that the internal walls appeared to be thin and although we had no issues on our first 2 nights, the third night next doors television and chat was audible for a few hours despite not being overly loud. This isn't anyone's fault, just an observation.

Great stay in Lucca
This hotel is a 15 minute walk or 5 minute drive to the historic walled part of Lucca. The hotel itself is peaceful, quiet and has lovely grounds, but once you're in the old city, you'll find lots of shopping, dining and sightseeing. The best thing about this hotel, however, was the staff. From our arrival to departure, they were extremely helpful and very friendly. I'd go back just to see them again. It was also a great value, and included a good breakfast.

Disappointing
I am very disappointed that hotel.com let me book a hotel at 10pm and the hotel closes at 5:30pm. As I'm in a road trip, I've been booking my hotels as I get in the city. Surprisingly I was able to book the hotel at 10pm and the hotel was closed. I had to book another hotel and pay for another hotel. On the following morning I went to the same hotel to try to cancel it and get my money back and the manager wasn't available and the staff was very rude accusing me that I should know the check is was from 2pm to 5:30pm. Very disappointing
