Amazing location, atmosphere, vibe and staff. Awesome restaurant, tasty wine and beautiful views👌

Hotel Villa Cheli was an oasis in our busy travel-schedule. Driving up the impressive lane to the Villa is an inspiring sensation in itself. The parking lot is as beautifull as it is convenient. The professional staff made the check in a wonderfull and personal experience, explaining about the Villa itself, how it came to be this now wonderfull hotel and we even met the owner who took some of his precious time to greet us personally. When owner and staff are this professional and friendly, you know you're in for a good stay, and yes, a good stay it was! The room, the bed, the amenities, the charmingly slow internet, the outside pool and surroundings, everything together makes you forget the outside world for a while and I even had the feeling of how it must have felt when the Villa was still a private house. A special note to all camera- enthusiasts: Please take some time to admire the collection of antique cameras on display in the lobby. A special note to Leica enthusiasts: yes, all there! Lastly, the Villa offers local products, the best the Lucca-region has to offer. If you add to this the location, near Pisa, Florence, your choice of hotels is an easy one. My deep gratitude to the staff for making my stay memorable!

Pool and staff are great! Very helpful

A beautiful property with lots of garden space and a pool, a lovely setting on the lake. There is plenty of parking. The food at the restaurant was great.

Gorgeous property with an amazing pool. The staff were exceptional.

Very charming hotel! Beatiful. Hope to come back

So much! Like stepping into a fairy tale, this small boutique hotel has so much history, if only the walls could talk. The staff were all so welcoming and friendly. We thoroughly enjoyed our brief stay here.

The whole venue is beautiful, green views, relaxing vibe, the restaurant with glass windows, everyone from the team of the Hotel is helpful and kind. Loved the experience! After a busy day it's perfect!

Beautiful setting, fantastic suite with a view. Relaxing, comfortable, and friendly staff.

The hotel is located in a quite quiet area, in a friendly neighborhood. 15 minutes' walk to the Leaning Tower of Pisa. From the train station I arrived quite quickly with a bus that had a stop in front of the hotel. The breakfast was very good, a lot of food and variety, for all tastes. The hotel also has a restaurant where various dishes can be served. Also, we were able to serve a cocktail in the hotel lobby.

Very friendly and helpful staff

Really convenient location for both of city center and train station. Staffs are really friendly. I like breakfast very much because of the home-made croissants.

Everything ok and waiter Sara was the perfect

Very sophisticated and professional treatment, and I thank my dear brother Khalil and friend Matteo Gino

The hotel was spotlessly clean, the staff super helpful and the breakfast was delicious.

The 24h reception was real good. Location is amazing.

Very clean hotel and the staff were extremely friendly! The tower was only a few metres away. Close to lots of food options.

The staff and location were amazing.

Very good bed. Just next to the tower of Pisa. Easy parking, that I reservated earlier. Staff reslly good. Great breakfast. Really good for the money.

I actually returned to Helvetia specifically because my flight home was from Pisa, but honestly I was happy for the excuse, since my first stay had been great and this time was no different. I got a bigger room with an en suite bathroom this time, which was a lovely upgrade. The hotel looked freshly renovated throughout and everything felt brand new while still keeping this beautiful vintage decor that I absolutely loved. And the cleanliness was really impressive, everything felt spotless and well looked after. The view from my room was absolutely dreamy, mountains stretching out as far as you could see, the kind you just sit and stare at for a while. Location-wise you really can't fault it: - The Leaning Tower is literally 3 minutes away on foot - Piazza dei Cavalieri just 5, and everything else - Palazzo Blu, the shopping street, the train station, within 15-20 minutes. In the street right next to the hotel you've got cafés, restaurants and even a couple of supermarkets for everyday bits. The only downside is no elevator, so luggage requires a bit of effort. I heard they're working on it though, so maybe next time! Would I go back for a third stay? Absolutely.
