The restored mansion is splendid in a secluded location, easily accessible from the autostrada. It is very close to Lucca, and on the lovely road to Pisa which is only 20 minutes away. We were really impressed with the quality of the food and wine in the restaurant, with excellent dishes of very fresh ingredients, all prepared with flair. A special mention of the restaurant staff who were friendly attentive and very professional. It was so good we ate there every night.

Loved staying at the Villa Principessa. It was "old world" elegant, the staff was very friendly. Our room was a bit dated but that keep the charm of an old Italian villa. The dinner was wonderful with many choices of foods. Breakfast offered many options. It was also very easy to find and just a few miles outside of Lucca, which we feel in love with this town.

Beautiful hotel, gorgeous surroundings and gardens. Outdoor pool is very nice. The staff are all very courteous. No room service, or at least, there was no information about how to order, say, tea or coffee to your room. This is a bit inconvenient because there are no tea/coffee/kettles in the rooms (for an understandable reason). You can, however, get refreshments via the bar.

We liked the size of the room, the architecture, and the building itself. The included breakfast is excellent! We thought there could have been more community among guests.

The garden around the pool area allows for you to relax amongst wildlife. Clean pool area. Staff were very professional and very helpful.Parking is good. There are no tea/coffe making facilities in the hotel which was disappointing and when we stayed there in Oct the hotel did not offer lunch. Overall though a very pleasant stay.

Food was very good! Great dinner ! Very good breakfast! Beautiful setting. Well maintained! Need good directions and a map on how to find the location. It is difficult when not familiar with the area. Directions off the autostada should be on thewir site and all booking info.

The space, funky decoration and pictures which mix well with the baronial style of the villa; nice garden dinning area, the gardens, the pool looked good. Bedroom size was good with ample seating. The lack of a terminal / PC for free internet access. The fact that internet access, wireless, was not free. I understand the management are looking to address this. Dinner prices are on th e high side and potions are not the most generous but staff are attentive. Its a shame they don't have any English language news paper, not even one.

Lovely building; pleasant, quiet relaxed atmosphere; very nice gardens and pool; convenient for Lucca which is a fine place. Some rooms have rather small windows which might be slightly oppressive if staying for longer that an night or two.

The hotel staff were very helpful!!! They gave us plenty of recommendations on what to do in the area and had no problem picking up the phone and calling a bunch of places we were interested in checking out. I didn't like that they charge money for the Internet.
