WOW Villa Lorena!!
A super last-minute booking due to extreme weather in the area (105 degrees!!) so we switched to Lorena since it had air conditioning ... and SO we glad we did! Incredibly private with views and multiple outdoor eating areas (despite the heat we took advantage of two of them, it was too good to pass up!). Felt like a mansion, unbelievable amount of space and rooms and bedrooms ... place is three times the size of my house at home. And again the grounds and the views and the peacefulness!! Comfy beds, great charming old style Italian decor.

Grazie tante!
Do you want to spend unforgettable moments with your family and friends in a traditional country home on the top of a hill in Tuscany and be able to see olive trees, vineyards and cypress trees, while drinking your cup of Italian coffee in the morning, your glass of wine during the day and cook with your family a wonderful risotto with local ingredients and have the chance to do small trips around the beautiful Tuscan region? If your answer is YES, this home is for you... Wonderful people to deal with, house has soul and you can tell that wonderful moments as family were spent there... Bravo!

Family vacation
The villa was a great home base to enjoy Tuscany, with a relaxing vibe. Most of our day trips were less than an hour away.
Our villa manager, Martina, was very helpful and helped us reserve a wine tasting, arranged a private chef for an evening and provided insight for restaurants and sight seeing.
Our only issues were the american coffee maker didn't work, the lack of extra towels, and the clothes dryer wasn't installed.

Family Vacation at the Villa
We just got back from our week vacation here at the villa. With a family of 11, there was room for all of us. We enjoyed all the different seating areas and especially enjoyed the pool on these hot July summer days. The AC worked great in all the bedrooms. The goats were fun for the grandchildren to see. We hired a chef to come one night to cook us a meal. We all went out to different places during the day and ended up together at night. Villa Lorena is a great place for a large family reunion.
The only thing I would recommend is some kind of written instructions at the property as to the separation of the recyclables.

Amazing villa , with acres of surrounding space
Nothing much to add to previous reviews, except that we were a fairly large group (10 persons) renting a mini van for 17 persons (quite big!) and there were no problems reaching the villa. Last part of the road (approximately 500 meters) is country road, but not ruggedoff road as mentioned before. Sidrak and Cristina replied to all our questions within 15 minutes, very helpful and punctual. Villa itself is very charming, with a touch of past throughout, decorated with style and passion. Highly recommended!

Una Villa Da Sogno!
Dopo un primo impatto di disagio con la natura e alcuni problemucci prontamente sistemati dalla proprietaria, abbiamo avuto un soggiorno ineccepibile. La casa è da sogno, ci sono molti spazi per stare insieme (agli amici o alla famiglia), per mangiare all’aria aperta o per fare aperitivo. Intorno al cortile ogni tanto compare qualche asinello - e sono affettuosi e adorabili!- e c’è anche un bel gatto che ama stendersi sul terrazzino. Se cercate una casa da sogno in campagna questa è quella che fa per voi. Attenzione solo allo steccato che conduce alla proprietà che potrebbe creare qualche problema al fondo dell'auto se sportiva.

Tuscan Serenity
Remotely situated in the foothills of Capannori, the six of us very much enjoyed time for rest & relaxation at Villa Lorena. We scheduled a number of day trips (some with and some without the expert assistance of the property's manager, Martina). We're very glad to have rented a car for the duration of our time there as there is nothing within walking distance of the property. We booked car service for some of our excursions/dinners, and found it extremely expensive, often costing more than dinner itself. We definitely recommend booking a chef (Francesca was fantastic!) as you will find this to be another way to enjoy the property. Martina, as the owners representative, was very responsive and helpful.

wonderful place to relax
The place is outstanding. It provides you with everything you might expect for a relaxing holiday in the countryside of the Tuscany. We stayed there in October with a group of ten people, aged over three generations. There are different places inside and outside to sit all together talking or doing games. Whenever you're looking for a silent place to read a book, there are different spots to sit, relax and enjoy the view and the nature. The youngest enjoyed the little indoor pool as well as the in this time of year rather refreshing outside pool. The bedrooms are spacious, the beds comfortable and as you're out in the nowhere it is absolutely quit. The road leading to the house is a bit of an adventure but no problem to drive on. We recommend this villa to all those who want to enjoy the wonderful countryside of the Tuscany. All of us enjoyed it very much and would like to come back.

A Piece of Paradise
My family stayed at Villa Lorena and loved the villa and its property. It was the perfect setting for an Italian vacation with places to sit outside and inside. The rooms were spacious and decorated as an Italian villa should be. Bathrooms were very nice and every couple had their own. We had Cristina and her helper come and make dinner for us for my daughter in law's birthday and we were able to decide on the menu choices from dishes she offered. It was a very memorable meal!
The area is so close to so many places to explore and we had a great time finding them! As so many people have said in other reviews, the road up to the villa is challenging. It is very rough in places and is a bit daunting. We usually went out only once a day so we bumped our way down and up again.
We cooked some meals at the villa and had a great time working together because there was room to have us all involved. My family enjoyed the pool and the lighting in the pool at night was very nice.
We were so comfortable looking out at the beautiful hills with all the olive groves and vineyards. There was a fig tree with a couple of ripe figs to taste. Herbs were growing near the door to the sunroom and my son found some additional fruits growing nearby too. How can you not like a piece of paradise?

De merveilleux espaces mais des équipements vieillissants
Très belle villa avec vue panoramique dans un endroit rural et calme, très bien située pour se rendre à Pise, Luques ou Florence (en train) La villa offre de très beaux espaces de vie. Nos 4 enfants de 5 à 10 ans ont profité à fond de la piscine! Nous avons passé un très bon séjour. Mrs Sonia, Christina et Franco sont très serviables, la communication était facile et rapide.
Cependant, nous avons été déçus de quelques éléments : la route pour arriver jusque la villa est effectivement en mauvais état, pénible et stressant avec une voiture de location..., ce qui ne nous avez pas été mentionné au préalable. Aussi le four est minuscule, ce qui est dommage pour cuisiner vu la capacité d'accueil de la villa.
Les prises ne fonctionnent pas toutes, le vélo fait beaucoup de bruit et est juste à côté des pièces de vie, donc nous n'avons pas pu en profiter.
Nous n'avons pas eu beaucoup de chance avec le temps, beaucoup de pluie, des orages... et du coup la maison était très humide.
En dehors de cela la villa est comme décrite dans l'annonce.

Authentic tuscan country house. Hidden from the main road of the village. Led to
by a beautiful dirt road. The villa itself has everything you may need. If you
are looking for a modern stay, book at Hilton. If you are looking for an authentic experience, that's the place.

Villa Lorena for a wonderful family vacation
I can't begin to describe how wonderful our stay at Villa Lorena was. We just got home today and I have to sit down to quickly respond to review our stay. First of all, the Villa is so charming, comfortable, nestled in a lovely setting and filled with creative decorations. Our family of 9 was so happy there, we were sad to leave. Chiara (the manager) was incredible. She was always available to assist in any way we needed, making recommendations, helping us with things that came up. She was professional, kind and warm. Everyone felt like family to us. Graziano (the groundskeeper) also was such a wonderful person. I can go on and on but suffice it to say, you should stay here as soon as you can!
The location is perfect. We took excursions to Cinque Terre, Florence, Lucca and Siena with ease. We used services recommended by the management for transportation to and from the cities we visited as well as having chefs come to the home. (I highly recommend TauTouring for car services and Graziella for Chefs at the home).
I have such a warm feeling about our vacation at Villa Lorena. If I could give it more than 5 stars I would.

Best location ever
We spent the last days of 2021 in this house and we had a lovely time! The house is cozy and very practical for large groups, it’s decoration and interior makes you feel like you are going to stay in a family’s country house: lived and full of memories. The veranda where the dining table is located is where we spent most of our time together (we were 10 adults) and it is such a nice area: on a clear day you can see all the nature around you (little donkeys included!). The house is full of amenities, in particular the kitchen and its layout allows for both privacy and time together. As described, you will take a short off road street to reach it, but it is short and absolutely doable with a bit of attention (we had bigger cars but also a Smart car). Cristina and her daughter Elisa who manage the house and our main point of contact were absolutely kind and helpful. Before our arrival we communicated very easily on a series of points l: from cribs for kids for instance, we had two new borns with us, to making sure that the house was heated for our arrival. They have also supported with meals: Elisa prepared for us ready-to-heat meals, a very practical formula for big groups , but also a wonderful New Year’s Eve dinner which she cooked and served on the spot! Thank you!!
