Wanted to thank you for what my kids described as “Best Vacation Ever”! We really enjoyed Rodolfo -- the pool, kitchen, and facilities were fabulous. House had everything you need for a party! The grounds were gorgeous and fun to explore. Location of villa was ideal—1/2 hour to beach; 10 minutes from Lucca; close enough to major cities; and a pleasant walk or bike ride to Vorno, which is a beautiful local village.
We really appreciated Sue's recommendations. Rodolfo was perfect for our family. We also took full advantage of the concierge services in advance of our arrival and our house manager saw to every detail once we arrived!

Rodolfo
Europe / Italy Villas / Tuscany
Overview
Quiet and secluded retreat, this villa is equipped with all the amenities to ensure maximum comfort. Guests can enjoy the coziness of four large bedrooms, including an easily accessible one at ground floor, all with stylish en-suite bathroom. All indoor living spaces are generous and flooded with natural light, including the massive kitchen and dining room. The sumptuous front garden is perfect for an apéritif after a long afternoon lounging in the pool or for a Tuscan al-fresco dinner while enjoying the view of a breathtaking sunset over Lucca. The location of Villa Rodolfo couldn’t be more convenient, with Florence just an hour away and the Tuscan sandy beaches of Viareggio just 30 minutes away.
Villa Rodolfo is perched on the side of a hill overlooking a beautiful valley just a few kilometers south of Lucca. The location guarantees a great deal of privacy as well as breathtaking views during the day and at sunset. Also, the most sought-after Tuscan tourist locations are within a 1-hour drive from the villa, giving the guests plenty of options to customize their Tuscan experience.

They absolutely LOVED their time at the villa. the chef was incredible and exceeded all of their expectations. the food was outstanding! Also, the chef brought his wife along one night and who is a certified wine expert and offered them a wine tasting and information session on the local wine, which they really enjoyed.
