Villa La Principessa

We enjoyed our stay in this lovely villa with grand common area spaces, beautiful grounds and a lovely pool. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. We had a wonderful breakfast and sat outside in the beautiful garden. There was free parking and it was a short drive to both Pisa and Lucca. The Villa has a long history so some areas show some wear but it gives it character and everything was clean. We loved the quiet location and beautiful surroundings. I would come again!

A lovely period villa, clean, very friendly helpful staff, nice quiet and relaxing place to stay just outside lucca, would highly recommend

Nice peaceful relaxing stay

Lovely grounds

Comfortable friendly hotel with good restaurant. Pool looked good but didn’t get a chance to use it. Beautiful location and interesting property.

As good as I remember. Recommended.

Pool was so refreshing on a HOT day. Wonderful stay.

I can not tell you how amazing this hotel is. 12th century villa. Stunning. Grounds are gorgeous. Location is perfect. Close to both Lucca and Pisa and Florence. Free breakfest was great. Rooms comfortable. Bathroom newly renovated. 10-10

Lovely hotel in peaceful surroundings with fantastic service

We spent 3 lovely days in Villa La Principessa. Location and old style hotel atmosphere was perfect! Very roomy hotel rooms, quiet sleeping on super matresses. Only bathroom was very tired and it calls for renovation.

Very beautiful and clean property. Breakfast was amazing. Was surprised it was a good ways from the walled city but the property was beautiful.

Elegant and peaceful hotel a few kms outside of Lucca in tastefully renovated building with beautiful grounds. Courteous friendly staff, excellent breakfasts and large outdoor swimming pool.

Returned here after staying last year. Different room this year. Could hear the adjoining rooms quite clearly. Need some sound proofing. Pool area also needs updating as the wooden panel flooring has seen better days. Overall a good experience and would recommend.

Wonderful stay as usual. Friendly staff happy to help us with our young baby.

Beautiful property. Friendly staff. Big room but bathroom tiny with very tight shower. Short drive to Lucca.

Few amenities (no bathrobes, little soap, poor wifi). Could be cleaner BUT great bathroom fixtures, excellent location, quiet, peaceful surroundings. Modest price

We stayed at Villa La Principesa for the first night of a 27-day-holiday in Europe. Arriving exhausted late in the evening in a rental car from Rome, we were warmly welcomed to the villa. While we were still in the car on the gravel drive, a female receptionist stepped out through the door frame and beckoned us indoors. Next, an amiable bellman took our bags to our lovely room on the top floor, where we slept peacefully on beautiful linens in a comfortable bed, with the window flung open to the night air and the sights and sounds of Tuscany. Our room and bathroom were spotless. The next morning we enjoyed a lavish buffet breakfast, served in an elegant dining room, waited on by several gentlemen. The food was so tasty; the variety, delightful. The villa is huge, and old, yet well maintained, with a marvellous history, as explained to us by a male front desk attendant. You will need plenty of time to meander through the massive rooms of this mansion, taking photos of all the salons, each with high coffered beamed ceilings, antique furniture, enormous fireplaces, and interesting artwork. Likewise, you can almost get lost while exploring and photographing the incredible gardens that surround the villa. If you enjoy history and appreciate the stately mansions of the past, while feeling pampered as the lord and lady of the villa, don't miss staying here. Lucca, a fantastic walled town, is just a short drive away.

Beautiful hotel just outside of Lucca. Amazing breakfast. Amazing historical villa with beautiful grounds. Perfect quiet and quaint spot.

From the "old worldly" charm of the building and the décor to the lemon trees and rose bushes in the gardens, we couldn't believe our luck at having chosen this hotel. The bedrooms are spacious and relaxing with high ceilings and large windows overlooking the Tuscan scenery. The downstairs lounge areas are furnished with inviting antique furniture which has a "lived in" feel making it all the more cosy. The staff were very charming and always available to give advice on local excursions or restaurants in Lucca centre. We would love to be back there now.

Great stay in an historic villa. Service was great, breakfast was good. Dinner was okay.
