There are no words to accurately describe our time spent at Villa Carnicelli. This is truly a magical place, filled with love and care from Francesca and her incredible family.The photos on the listing only show you half of the beauty, to see it with your own eyes is truly breathtaking. Every detail has been thought of and there are special and beautiful touches throughout the property. You will feel at home right away whilst also feeling like a celebrity living out of a fancy magazine shoot.. it has all of the glamour whilst also retaining the Tuscan charm and heart.Francesca as a host is remarkable, our trip would have been completely different without her help. She is an expert on the local area, and offers once in a lifetime experiences like a Farm to Table dinner cooked in your house using local produce, custom tailored to your requirements. It was the best meal we have had in our lives and is a memory that our family will have forever.We came as a group to celebrate my mum's upcoming wedding, and Villa Carnicelli and the surrounding areas had everything that we needed. We comfortably slept 9 people, and there was enough room and beautiful spaces for us all to be very comfortable.The yoga room is a highlight, equipped with everything you need to enjoy a group yoga class, complete with mats, blocks and speaker (if you don't want to just listen to the beautiful sounds drifting through the window from the meditative wind chimes).Thank you so very much Francesca!

The perfect Tuscan villa This restored villa in the hills outside Lucca was a dream come true. Francesca is an amazing, charming host. From the fully stocked kitchen to the beautiful bedrooms with lovely linens to the outdoor seating areas among terra cotta pots of citrus, with a view of the spectacular valley below, Villa Carnicelli exceeded our wildest hopes. Truly a unique and magical place. We can't wait to return.

True Tuscan Villa This Villa was like taking a step back in time. The owners have renovated to bring you modern amenities yet have taken special care to restore the history rather than erasing it. The owners were amazing hosts. The surrounding area had many small towns with plenty of charm.

Heaven on earth! This villa is the most spectacular residence we've ever stayed at anywhere in the world. Everything you could ever need is readily available -- but more importantly, the hosts made us feel like family from the moment we arrived. HIGHLY recommend reservations for a dinner cooked by Francesca, and a pasta cooking class she recommended, too. The home offers a lifetime memory established in one of the most beautiful surroundings on the planet. Book your stay now and prepare to be amazed!!

Issie Villa Carnicelli completely exceeded all expectations. If you think it looks good on the photos, wait until you see it in real life! Francesca and her father couldn’t have been more helpful. We had a quick history lesson as we arrived, learning all about the origins of the incredible house, and lots of recommendations for shops and restaurants. The house was impeccably clean and comfortable. The worst part was having to leave!! We would come back in an instant
