Perfect, tranquil weekend in Lucca in a hotel that looks like a Medieval castle...a Tuscan villa. We asked the owner for a pick-up from Pisa airport so we got to the place with no problems -no stress, no worry in the evening, no searching for the place. Just got to the hotel and the apartment was waiting for us - 2 rooms (one with a cooker, table and kitchen utensils). Breakfast at the pool - cereal, coffee, cheese, yoghurt, croissants. The weather was gorgeous for that. We asked for white wine....and we got that! Very friendly and helpful people. The pool was clean with deck chairs and small tables around. It's a 20min walk to Lucca walls but it was a nice walk. The hotel looks great..so stylish..cozy.

Beautiful, typically Tuscan style villa with rooms on 3 floors. I requested a ground floor room as I am expecting and read about (steep staircase from others reviews) which was huge - no problem with noise from road or hotel itself prob due to the thickness of the walls and blackout shutters and curtains kept it dark and cool. Breakfast is served poolside in a permanent marquee and is help yourself to toast, cereal, eggs, ham and cheese. The pool itself is GORGEOUS (not heated) and surrounding garden is landscaped with gazebos, sofas and a hammock. This place was heaven, we spent lazy days on loungers by the pool and walked into Lucca each evening which took approx 15mins to the city walls. Felt perfectly safe walking home again near to midnight.

Villa Corte Degli Dei is in a great location and has a lovely swimming pool for those hot Tuscan days. Unfortunately our stayed was ruined by the fact our air-conditioning was not working on 2 nights of a 3 night stay and on the last night it was 'fixed' and continually leaked a great amount of water on to the floor. The staff informed us the air-conditioning systems were a constant problem so why do the owners not update them? We went to Villa Corte Degli Dei for a relaxing break for our wedding anniversary but in fact we were so tired that we were glad when we got home. Lucca is a beautiful place, do visit, but as it's so hot, make sure you book somewhere that actually keeps you cool!

Just come back from a week at this lovely bed and breakfast. Stefano, the manager was incredibly helpful and would bend over backwards to make your stay more comfortable. Unfortunately, the owner was visiting the week we were there and he wasn't very child friendly. The accommodation was comfortable, the breakfast was typical continental breakfast but be warned that all other food is frozen, microwave meals. The location is perfect as both Pisa and Florence are very easy to get to by train from Lucca. The pool at the B & B is absolutely wonderful and my kids thought it was the best part of the trip!
