We came back to this hotel, after having spent Easter last year here because we had such an amazing time. To our surprise, when we walked in, we were welcomed by the same wonderful lady, Antonia, who was there last year, and she not only remembered us, but came out from behind the counter to embrace us. Antonia and all... More

Following significant renovation and overtaken by Marriott Rennaisance group, this stunning beautiful place has become a must visit (stay) place in the beautiful Tuscany. Since the building itself has many branches and well spread out, that in fact allow the resident more choice in regards to what type of room they want. But the most stunning attraction is the location... More

Just arrived home from our Europe trip. All hotels were top notch, Marriott properties, but this one in particular is a slice of heaven. Set up in the beautiful hills of Tuscany, about 45 minute drive from Lucca, so you are not in the city. Staff was unsurpassed, accommodations, superior. I will take this any day over the hustle of...

The staff is amazing in this hotel! We dealt with Maria a lot for she spoke perfect English and was the most patient and accommodating blessing.

We stayed here as part of a conference and I brought my husband as a plus one. I am not sure if that was made clear to the hotel staff, as we were given a room with 2 twin beds instead of one larger bed. However, we were able to push the beds together. We had a wonderful room with... More

Wonderful place for decompression after crowds of Rome and Florence. Perched on hillside overlooking small river valley amid temperate forest land, a full service hotel with an excellent restaurant providing northern Tuscan cuisine, local cheese, great Tuscan wine. Staff friendly and very helpful. Quick access to Lucca and Pisa for day trips.

This is an amazing resort. The location is stunning. My room looked out over snow capped mountains and the beautiful valley below. The service was warm and wonderful. The staff took care of my every need. The room was spacious and had an open balcony. The food was first rate. The wine was wonderful. I travel all over the world... More

I stayed 3 nights while traveling around Italy. I knew the hotel is located in a very beautiful place and he scenery was above all expectations! I came here to relax, go horse riding (they have a sports village nearby with all kinds of activities) and to go to the spa. Despite the bad weather I enjoyed the time here... More
