Sehr empfehlenswertes ruhiges Domizil auf dem Land...

Die ehemalige umgebaute Scheune wurde liebevoll eingerichtet und ist bestens ausgestattet. Sie befindet sich auf einem abgeschlossene Grundstück mit Gäste-Carport und ist umgeben von einem gepflegten Garten. Hier findet man einerseits Ruhe und Entspannung, andererseits kann man auch verschiedenste Kräuter zum Kochen ernten. Wir kamen sogar in den Genuss von eigenen Pfirsichen und Zucchini. Man findet hier einen ruhigen Ausgangspunkt, perfekt für diverse Ausflüge zu den toskanischen Sehenswürdigkeiten. Entlang des Aquäduktes in einer wunderschönen Landschaft erreicht man nach ca. 40 Minuten (oder mit dem Auto in 5-10 Minuten) das bezaubernde Städtchen Lucca. Ein Ort mit einem ganz besonderen Charme; geeignet zum Flanieren, Besichtigen, Verweilen, köstlich Speisen, Shoppen...ganz nach Belieben. Von hier aus kann man auch per Bahn bequem verschiedene Ausflüge zB nach Pisa, Cinque Terre, Florenz etc starten. Außerdem haben wir mit unserem kleinen Leihwagen (ohne Nutzung der Autobahnen und Mautstraßen) tolle Touren in die südliche Toskana (San Gimignano, Vinci...) gemacht und die herrliche Umgebung genossen. Die Gastgeber Paola und Daniele sind äußerst sympatisch und herzlich. Wenn es gewünscht ist, stehen sie immer hilfreich mit Rat und Tat und prima Tipps zur Seite. Sie sind sehr offen und aufgeschlossen und trotzdem in keinster Weise aufdringlich. Wir hatten zweimal das Vergnügen gemeinsam zum Abendessen auszugehen (einmal sogar mit Musik und Tanz) und fühlen uns freundschaftlich verbunden. Fazit: Wir als Ehepaar mittleren Alters haben hier 14 unvergessliche Tage erlebt und wollen nächstes Jahr wiederkommen. Es gibt noch viel zu erleben in dieser herrlichen Landschaft...

Relax nella campagna toscana vicino a Lucca

E' la seconda volta che soggiorniamo io e mio marito in questa casa meravigliosa, nella quiete della campagna toscana a pochissimi minuti dal centro di Lucca. Tutto è perfetto: l'arredamento molto raffinato, la casa pulitissima con tutto l'occorrente, il giardino ben curato dove si può trascorrere momenti di relax sul dondolo... ma soprattutto l'accoglienza di Paola e Daniele che completano l'idea di questo tipo di vacanza, sempre disponibili alle nostre richieste di informazioni su eventi in zona, ristoranti, escursioni in Garfagnana, visite in città, ecc, ecc... Grazie ancora della vostra discreta e costante presenza, siamo stati ancora una volta davvero bene. Arrivederci a presto! Anna M.

Mooi huis, tuin, rustig en 5 min in Lucca

Met z'n tweeën onze eerste vakantie samen in Italië geboekt. We wilden de vrijheid hebben, rustige omgeving en af en toe zelf koken/wassen. We kwamen dit huisje tegen van Daniele en Paola. Contact was er vanaf het begin al erg goed en duidelijk. Toen we eraan kwamen werden we hartelijk ontvangen met wijn en Italiaanse lekkernijen, top! We hebben ons daar snel thuis gevoelt. Ruime woning (2 slaapkamers), nette badkamer, keuken. Je kan heerlijk buiten zitten of als het warm is, binnen in de koelte. Alles is voorzien, koelkast, wasmachine (schoonmaak middelen), fornuis, bestek, beddengoed etc. Daniele en Paola waren erg gastvrij en je kon altijd bij hun terecht. Gaven ons veel tips wat er allemaal te doen was in de omgeving. Ook Patata mag er wezen. Super lieve kat waar je absoluut geen last van hebt. Af en toe een aai over z'n hoofd. Wij hadden in voor seizoen geboekt (begin juni). Het weer was in onze twee weken minstens 30 graden geweest. Uitzonderlijk en prachtig weer. Half uur van de strand of thermen. Firenze met de trein, San Gimignano ook zeker de moeite waard! Kortom als we weer naar deze omgeving op vakantie gaan, gaan we zeker weer bij Daniele en Paola boeken! Heel erg bedankt voor de uitstekende zorgen! Liefs, Lars en Myrte Nederland

Lucca Comics C&G 2014 da favola!

È il secondo anno che scegliamo Villa Amoroni come soggiorno durante il Lucca Comics e non potremmo esserne più soddisfatti! La casa ha tutte le comodità immaginabili, anche in 6 si sta benissimo. Apprezziamo in particolare la grande disponibilità dei proprietari e la comoda posizione della villa per raggiungere i migliori parcheggi per la fiera. Grazie mille, torneremo sicuramente!

Accoglienza perfetta!

Villetta perfetta per il nostro breve soggiorno al Lucca C&G 2013. La casa rispecchia perfettamente quanto descritto nel sito, è carina, spaziosa, fornita di tutto, compresi proprietari gentilissimi che ti accolgono nel migliore dei modi e si rendono disponibili per ogni evenienza =) Eravamo inzialmente un po' scettici a riguardo della posizione della casa, lontana dalle mura più di quanto desiderassimo, ma in realtà la zona è ottima: ci ha permesso durante le mattine di fiera di raggiungere velocemente in macchina i parcheggi migliori subito fuori le mura, evitando il traffico. Ci siamo trovati benissimo e speriamo di cuore di poter tornare l'anno prossimo! Un grandissimo grazie a Paola e Daniele, Da Valentina, Jessica, Elena, Morris, Matteo e Luca

Tre giorni indimenticabili

Siamo stati a Villa Amoroni per tre giorni, troppo pochi per un posto così bello e per l'accoglienza che abbiamo ricevuto dai padroni di casa Daniele, Paola e la loro gatta. La casa era completa di tutto l'occorrente per un soggiorno sereno, immersa nel verde e in ottimo stato; inoltre la posizione in cui è situata è comoda per raggiungere Lucca, da cui dista solo pochi minuti e città d'arte come Firenze e Pisa che siamo riusciti a visitare nonostante il poco tempo. Lucca è una cittadina molto bella, vicoli storici dove il tempo sembra essersi fermato e se volete apprezzarla ancora meglio, vi suggeriamo di affittare le biciclette e fare il giro delle mura, non ve ne pentirete. I colori dell'autunno, il bel giardino davanti all'abitazione, il paesaggio circostante e la cordialità delle persone che ci hanno ospitati e quelle del posto ci resteranno impresse per molto tempo. Insomma speriamo di poterci tornare presto!

mooie plek dichtbij centrum Lucca

We hebben een heerlijke week gehad in villa Amoroni. Paola en Daniel zijn erg gastvrij en vriendelijk , er stond een mooie fles wijn voor ons klaar toen we aankwamen en Daniel kwam s'avonds met een lekker stukje lokale kaas. Paola gaf ons regelmatig tips met wat er allemaal te doen was in de omgeving. Wij hebben in de buurt een paar keer heerlijk gegeten , traditionele vissoep in de dorps pizzeria . Leuke sfeer met karaoke en lokale mensen. Het huis lag erg centraal , wij zijn een dag naar cinque terra gegaan , wat een echte aanrader is!! Alleen zouden wij misschien de volgende keer met de trein vanuit Lucca naar La Spezia gaan , iets relaxer misschien?? Verder is Volterra ook prima te doen , een prachtig middeleeuws stadje . Wij vonden met name de omgeving echt super .Het echte typische Toscane met prachtige cipressen en schitterende kleuren. Wij hebben een zeer gevarieerde week gehad waarin we veel hebben gezien en ondernomen . Echt de moeite waard !! Het huis is meer dan compleet , je kunt er s'avonds prima je eigen maaltijd koken als je zou willen . We hebben heerlijk geslapen , goede bedden . Paola en Daniel nogmaals bedankt voor jullie gastvrijheid en zullen jullie plekje zeker aanraden bij vrienden en familie.

We Loved Villa Amoroni and will be back!

We really enjoyed our week at Villa Amoroni - we had booked online so you never really know what you are getting. The accommodation and hosts Paola & Daniele were amazing. It was certainly fantastic value for money and a great location - the perfect base for exploring the region (you need a car). We really loved Lucca and spent two days exploring the walled city by bike. We took a day trip to Pisa via local roads and then onto Quercianella for a wonderful lunch and swim. We drove to the hilltop town of Barga - where we found a great park for Eve (4) & George (2). Viareggio is an amazingly touristy beach resort but well worth the trip - we were pleased to be there during the week, I don't think I would have like on the weekend. Very different to Australian beaches e.g. pay for a chair, change room etc. but fun and some good restaurants etc. We loved Cinque Terre but wished we had spent a night there - we drove to La Spezia and left the car at the station and caught the train to Monterossa. We walked from Monterossa to Vernazza (3km) and then caught the boat back. It is very do able in a day from Villa Amoroni but would have been really nice to have spent the night. We can highly recommend Antisa Osteria de Meati for dinner (about 10 min drive from Villa Amoroni). Don't go to Pinocchio Park, Collodi - it is very rundown and not worth it. The local pizza café in Verciano is good and they do good coffee and pastries for breakfast. Paola & Daniele were wonderful hosts, extremely helpful and friendly. We look forward to keeping in touch and hopefully returning one day soon.

Tutto è stato perfetto!

Bonjour Paola et Daniele, Nous avons passé une trés agréable et reposante semaine de vacances dans votre belle maison à la campagne si proche de la superbe ville de Lucca. Merci encore pour les plantes, une touche de couleur me rappelle le marché aux fleurs dans "l'anfitéatro" et nous avons préparé le "risotto con borragine di Villa Amoroni" et avons tous beaucoup aimé ! depuis notre retour, je fais des petits plats à l'italienne ! c'est très bon ! Le logement est parfaitement conforme au descriptif et la tranquillité retrouvée après une journée de promenade dans les villes et villages environnants est un réel plaisir. Nous vous souhaitons bonne continuation et vous remercions pour votre accueil, gentillesse, discrétion et vos conseils. Nathalie et Olivier

absolument parfait

Nous avons passez un séjour très agréable dans cet appartement tout confort. Les propriétaires sont discrets mais disponibles et de bons conseils. L'appartement est très bien conçu et tout est mis à disposition (des serviettes de bains jusqu'au dose de lessive) pour que l'on s'y sente comme chez nous. J'ajouterais que la cuisine est moderne et parfaitement équipée, et que la literie est très confortable, deux points qui font parfois défaut aux locations de vacances. Idéalement placé, nous avons pu découvrir cette magnifique région sans avoir à faire de longs trajets,(de nombreux site à 30 mn seulement). Nous vous recommandons cette location. Merci à Paola et Daniéle pour leur gentillesse et leur accueil.

Great place even without a car

The place was ideal for us - two landscape painters. The area is lovely. The apartment had everything we needed, including wifi and washing machine. Paola and Daniele are great. We had no car but it was not a problem. Bikes were provided and it is an easy ride into Lucca. There is a bus that runs several times a day and the walk into Lucca is pleasant, taking only about 40 minutes along the aqueduct. We even got to meet some of the locals. I hope to be back next year.

Incantevole relax

Io e mia moglie cercavamo un po' di relax ,perchè si sa gli impegni familiari sono tanti . Una volta giunti ,era come l'immaginavo,incantevole mi ha riportato ad un età fanciullesca con un bellissimo giardino ricco di colori floreali investito di una pace tale per ascoltare il proprio pensiero . In più e situato in una posizione strategica per giungere in molti posti interessanti . Abbiamo soggiornato benissimo ed i padroni sono molto cordiali.

Delightful rural setting 5 minutes from Lucca

The location is great, especially if you have a car. It's In a quiet rural village, but only 5 minutes' drive from the walls of Lucca. It's also a great base from which to explore the surrounding area, including Florence and the Cinque Terre. The accommodation is stylish, comfortable and the garden is delightful. Paola and Daniele are excellent hosts - welcoming, helpful but not intrusive. A little patch of paradise indeed!

Un bon séjour juste à côté de Lucca

L'accueil y est excellent, en plus le jardin (clos) est très agréable surtout quand on a un chiot qui ne demande qu'à s'amuser. La maison spacieuse et lumineuse, restaurée en respectant les éléments architecturaux traditionnels de la région. Un séjour à ne pas manquer! Que de bons souvenirs,... à renouveler!

Maison idéalement située.

Grande bâtisse aménagée avec un très joli jardin entretenu par Daniele. Les propriétaires (Paola et Daniele) sont adorables, serviables et disponibles à toutes vos attentes. Le logement est à 5mn de Lucca, 30mn de Pise, 1h de Florence, 1h30 de San Gimignano et Volterra. Bref, un pied-à-terre idéal pour découvrir les beaux paysages de la Toscane. Nous avons passé 1 semaine en famille avec des enfants en bas âges et franchement la maison est à recommander. Les propriétaires parlent français et anglais, ce qui aide beaucoup pour les discussions ! Il y à un parking privé (avec un bip rien que pour vous) pour garer la voiture. Voilà ! Vous savez tout !
