It's a very pleasant villa and location. Facilities (very good restaurants, supermarket, bakery, etc) close by: 5-10min drive away. The hosts were very helpful, welcoming and responded quickly. ##### Molly This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Norma 23 Oct 2024 #### Wonderful scenery and fantastic holiday Everything was wonderful! From the moment we arrived at the Villa until the day we left the family with a tearful goodbye, our vacation was a dream come true!! The Villa and the surrounding grounds were beautiful and wonderfully decorated and landscaped. Sonia and her family could not have been more accommodating and helpful-from printing directions to giving advice on places to go- to cooking a delicious meal on our first evening there -to surprising us with homemade treats on several occasions. We were treated as family and felt as if we were. We miss them!! Have already recommended Villa Elisa to family and friends! ##### Norma This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### William 22 Jul 2023 #### Beautiful as it looks in the pictures! Villa Principessa Elisa is as beautiful as it looks in the pictures! The property is equipped with everything that a group of friends/family might need. The house is in the middle of the Tuscany countryside and the outdoor area was pretty. The house is extremely private and the view is awesome! The rooms are fully furnished and it is evident that there was a lot of attention to every tiny detail. Moreover, the house was super clean and the host was available to answer our requests and questions. ##### William This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Brad 23 Oct 2024 #### Second time renting from Lucca apartments and Villas We spent a week at this wonderful villa in September 2015., a week that we will never forget. This Villa is beautifully decorated and so comfortable. The owners are wonderful people that make you feel like family. They went out of their way to make us feel welcome cooking a delicious dinner for us, setting a beautiful table, making homemade desserts for us, providing helpful info, and just having fun with us. We visited San Gimignano, Pisa, Cinque Terre and Florence during our week. We also spent 2 days just hanging out, enjoying the beautiful scenery and weather. We were so sad to say goodbye to Mrs Sonia and her family. This was my second time renting a villa from her and I am so happy I found a reliable contact in Tuscany. We will visit again next year. ##### Brad This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Norma E. 12 Oct 2015 #### Wonderful scenery and fantastic holiday Everything was wonderful!

The location is great to get to all the places you want to visit in the area and the tiny village is nice. There is a great olive oil farmer and a wonderful little market within a short distance. The bar (at the end of the driveway) is also stocked with icecream for the kids. The highlight of our trip was our dinners at the villa on the terrace, especially the night that the owners helped us arrange for a chef to cook dinner for us all. We were two families staying with young teenagers and a toddler. We had enough space for all and lots of things to do for everyone. I would recommend this place without hesitation.

We have already rented many homes worldwide but without a doubt this place is clearly a 5/5. It all started with the booking process , Email conversation with Sonja, and the perfect care by Cristina. She picked us up at the appointment point and showed us the way to the house, which is lovely located in the middle of olives trees a little bit uphill of Lucca. Cristina helped within minutes, when we needed support - GRAZIE! We were 3-5 adults and kids from 1-8 years old. They loved the nice pool area and the fenced garden to play. The house is equipped with everything you need. Especially for Italy, you will have comfortable beds and warm water no matter how many people are taking a shower:) Thanks to all, that we could spend such a holiday - keep continuing like this ##### Remo This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Shuttle 23 Oct 2024 #### Relaxing week in Tuscany We celebrated two wedding anniversaries, our 20th and my sister and brother-in-law's 25th by taking our family on a trip to Italy. There were 6 adults and 6 teenagers and after a week touring Rome and Florence, we spent our second week relaxing at villa principesa Elisa. We took a few day trips to Lucca, Cinque Terre, and Pisa. Everyone enjoyed their stay so much that it was hard to leave the Villa and come back to reality. The grounds were/are absolutely beautiful. There are olive trees, plum trees, pear trees, and vineyard. We were welcomed with several bottles of olive oil, wine, fresh fruit and vegetables, all of which came from the grounds at the villa. There is a beautiful pool which we swam in everyday as it was heated and the spa was the highlight. Chef Cristina cooked some fabulous Italian meals during our stay thank you Sonia for helping us plan a trip of a lifetime! What a beautiful trip and such wonderful people that we met we hope to come back! ##### Shuttle This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Joseph E. 10 Nov 2017 #### Typical Tuscan Villa We stayed a week and loved the location and feel of the property. It is prefect for a big family reunion. You do have to keep up on the daily trash duties and be conciseness of the electricity you are using, but other then this it is fine. The 200 euro limit on electricity is doable with a family of 8 adults and 4 kids, even using the sauna and bath and pool, we were slightly over on our usage, but they waved the 10 euros at check out and took care of the remaining trash we had left. It was difficult to find the place, it is better to use the coordinates with google maps not the address that is provided. Make sure to ask how to use the sauna and bath, it is not straight forward and we had look up the manual on line. ##### Joseph E.

The house deserves 4.5, only because of an internet problem. The internet stopped working and we were without connection for 4 days. We complained and finally got a new modem which was great, but why not sooner. In fairness the owner did not charge me for an 80 euro overcharge on electricity, but no internet was a pain and expensive for me to use my phone. Many of the reviews highlighted Sonia whom we never met and thus did not get input on local recommendations. We did have Alice Dami who prepared 3 excellent meals for us. Each meal was progressively better as she got to know our tastes. She was professional as was her assistant.Thefood and wine delicious and plentiful. Such lovely evenings with nice table set with flowers and good food. Strongly recommend . You can not go wrong with this house. I would not change the accommodations, but more local input would have been nice ##### ann f.

Schön gehaltener alter Stiel aber mit allem nötigen Komfort ausgerüstet. Super schöne und gepflegte Gartenanlage. Mehr als genug Platz für 2 vierköpfige Familien. Organisatorisch lief alles perfect sehr zuvorkommende Villa Managerin. Sogar das doch relativ frühe öffnen des Pools hat geklappt! Danke für diesen unvergesslichen Aufenthalt Ja das liebe Abfall Konzept in Italien... eigentlich klar Beschrieben aber wir hatten doch immer wieder Fragezeichen... die Entsorgung beim öffentlichen Etsorgungsstation hat leider nicht geklappt, aber auch hier Danke an die Villa Mangerin dass Sie dies für uns ünbernommen hat.... ##### Daniela This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Charles Antoine 23 Oct 2024 #### Très belle maison très bien situee Accueil très chaleureux des propriétaires.

This place is flat out wonderful! Not only it is clean and neat and lovingly cared for, but look around you! Every little detail is done to perfection. In short, it's just what you want a tuscan farmhouse villa in a 1st century Tuscan hillside hamlet to look like. The pictures on here do not do this place justice. Having a private SPA with a brand new finnish sauna and steam bath was a real bonus. We never found a villa like this before. Having a car is great so you can explore all the famous hill towns as well as Lucca town centre and its wine country, all of which are easy day trips. Lucca town centre is at less than 10 minutes drive! We especially enjoyed Lucca, the hills around the villa and Montecarlo. The nearby village of Matraia is nice to see and provides you with an excellent supermarket and amazing little groceries and easy access to roads leading everywhere. Sonia is on the premises every day to guide you around the area, providing very helpful information on parking, tours, restaurants, etc. (Her English is very good, by the way.) She totally understands customer service and obviously enjoys being the proprietor of this lovely place. She might even give you a whiff of her own homegrown and heavenly olive oil. On the sad day when we left the villa, I promised Sonia I would write her a glowing review and recommend it to everyone. And indeed I do! Thank you Sonia for a memorable week in Tuscany! ##### Jenny ### 10/10 Excellent #### Spring C. 16 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy ##### Spring C.

The villa has everything we could possibly want. Great communal areas for spending time together and enough space for time apart. The garden is beautiful, with lots of seating and the pool got lots of use. Great BBQ too. We loved the area - it's a quick drive down into Lucca, but the villa itself is peaceful. The only annoying thing about the villa was the constant need to be thinking about rubbish (having to put out a different bin every day). While the schedule is obviously set by the council, the villa team could make it easier by ensuring that the right types of rubbish bags are provided. ##### Alexandra ### 10/10 Excellent #### Amanda S. 25 Oct 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A Wonderful Week Our group of 4 couples had a fabulous week in this villa. We enjoyed both the interior and the exterior spaces, the large dining room, the lovely decor, and the surrounding countryside which provided lovely places for walks. We felt very much at home and would have enjoyed staying longer. ##### Amanda S. Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### George M., St Petersburg, USA 12 Sept 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great place but, watch the electricity and garbage The villa was beautiful and immaculately maintained. We were a party of 10 and enjoyed plenty of room and comfort. There were two problems. The owner included an electricity allowance of 200 euro. This is not enough! We were extremely careful in our usage (we never used the sauna for instance) and yet, I had to pay 113 additional euro for electricity overage. The second problem is with the garbage. There are very strict rules regarding the days upon which type of garbage must be put out for collection. The owner insists all garbage must be removed when checking-out. This is a very difficult task because Saturday is not the collection day for many types of garbage. The owner did not provide the location of any public disposal sites. Consequently, we were forced to take garbage to Parma (our next destination) for disposal. This is totally unacceptable. ##### George M. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Melissa P. 2 Jun 2019 #### Lovely house in the beautiful hills Perfect for a big family get together! We went for my mother’s birthday, and had the whole family there. It was wonderful! The house has the perfect set up, lots of space so you don’t feel on top of one another and big communal areas so you can eat, drink and laugh together. The location of the house, albeit up some bumpy winding roads, is just perfect. Stunning views from the bedroom windows, there are some lovely walks/runs surrounding the house and it’s just a short drive to shops and restaurants. Lucca is less than 15 minutes away too. The only thing that could have made our trip better is a bit more sunshine. Would thoroughly recommend! ##### Melissa P.

The view from each window is spectacular. After walking miles each day it was a treat to come home and be able to swim. We had Alice prepare two meals for us and it was the highlight of our trip. Everything was perfect. Thank you so much for the perfect vacation! ##### Robin B.

The owner is attentive, but it’s not clever to charge an extra fee for electricity. We would suggest the owner to include it ##### Ahuva B. Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Antoine S. 29 May 2018 #### Très belle maison très bien situee Accueil très chaleureux des propriétaires. La maison est très jolie et très bien située ( nous avons pu visiter Lucca, Siena, les Cinque terre, Florence etc..). Je recommande cette maison à toutes les personnes voulant découvrir la Toscane tout en étant au calme dans un environnement luxueux et simple. ##### Antoine S. Stayed 7 nights in May 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Regina L. 29 Jan 2018 #### words cannot describe Villa Principessa Elisa Words can not describe my vacation of a life time. After my first trip to Italy I knew I wanted to go back to the Tuscany area and rent a villa on the top of the mountain. When I did this I had no idea what a spectacular place I have picked. Of course I had some help from my daughter from NY who knew someone that said there is no other place to go. How true those words were. I am 69 years old and I have no desire to go anywhere else in the world after taking this trip. I truly thought I had died and gone to heaven. Oh, I would go back in a skinny minute. Villa Principessa Elisa by Mrs Sonia was the most beautiful place I have ever seen. There were 6 of us from ages 30 to 69 (my family and my family friends rented another villa nearby from Mrs Sonia as well)and what a wonderful time we all had. Alice, our greeter, was a delightful lady (half Italian and half American) that saw after all our needs and helped us with everything. We had massages, Italian dinners cooked in the home, (one meal was French as we had a family that came from France to be with us) directions to wherever we wanted to go and nights on the town with music in the streets. There was not one minute of our vacation that I did not enjoy. I know I have rambled, but like I said in the beginning there are no words to describe this place. You must go there and see for yourself ##### Regina L.

Highlight was pool among the olives, Multiple bedrooms many with own bath, recently renovated. Beautiful shaded patio where we had dinners several nights. Alice and her helper prepared and served a couple of wonderful meals with excellent local wine. House has AC in all bedrooms and most living areas - kept temps at 22 deg C while we had some hot daytime highs of 30-33 deg C. ( it dumps heat in pool so on hot afternoons the pool is extra warm). An old cobble stone road is on way up - take it slow. Beautiful walk up road into hills and overlooks if you like. Have them send you picture of driveway - a sign would be quite helpful. Italian recycling requires more sorting than here in US with a different kind picked up very early each day, but we found that down hill on edge of town there were public cans to toss the bags in at our convienence. Esselunga is a great supermarket near by with cafe. Take a bike ride on wide walkway on top of tree shaded walls of Lucca for treat. ##### Scott C. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [17 Century Farmhouse with HEATED pool, games room & aircon (EXCLUSIVE USE)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Anghiari-Hotels-10-Discount-FOR-2020-17-Century-Farmhouse-With-Heated-Pool.h36354411.Hotel-Information) > > [Tenuta La Bandita](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sassetta-Hotels-Tenuta-La-Bandita.h1147278.Hotel-Information) > > [Sina Astor](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Viareggio-Hotels-Sina-Astor.h573657.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Hotel Bonanno](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pisa-Hotels-Grand-Hotel-Bonanno.h1391564.Hotel-Information) > > [Toscana Holiday Village](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Montopoli-In-Val-DArno-Hotels-Toscana-Holiday-Village.h8330824.Hotel-Information) > > [Borgo Santo Pietro](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chiusdino-Hotels-Relais-Borgo-Santo-Pietro.h4644735.Hotel-Information) > > [Hu Park Albatros Village](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Vincenzo-Hotels-Park-Albatros-Village.h4140576.Hotel-Information) > > [Castello di Casole, A Belmond Hotel, Tuscany](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Casole-DElsa-Hotels-Castello-Di-Casole.h5058985.Hotel-Information) > > [Camplus Firenze Fortezza - Casa per Ferie](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Florence-Hotels-Camplus-Guest-Firenze.h67665965.Hotel-Information) > > [Locanda In Tuscany](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Castiglione-DOrcia-Hotels-Locanda-In-Tuscany.h13085760.Hotel-Information) > > [Palace Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Viareggio-Hotels-Palace-Hotel.h18611.Hotel-Information) > > [La Pace](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Forte-Dei-Marmi-Hotels-La-Pace.h3801865.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Mizar](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chianciano-Terme-Hotels-Hotel-Mizar.h23963148.Hotel-Information) > > [Grotta Giusti Thermal Spa Resort Tuscany, Autograph Collection](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Monsummano-Terme-Hotels-Grotta-Giusti-Thermal-Spa-Resort-Tuscany.h904294.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Borgo San Luigi](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Monteriggioni-Hotels-Hotel-Borgo-San-Luigi.h527532.Hotel-Information) > > [Pisa Tower Plaza](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pisa-Hotels-Allegroitalia-Pisa-Tower-Plaza.h3067108.Hotel-Information) > > [Camping Village Torre Pendente](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pisa-Hotels-Camping-Village-Torre-Pendente.h6572809.Hotel-Information) > > [Eden Rock Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Florence-Hotels-Eden-Rock-Resort.h1723244.Hotel-Information) > > [Resort Capalbio](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Capalbio-Hotels-Resort-Capalbio.h2784939.Hotel-Information) > > [Agriturismo Il Casalino](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Civitella-Paganico-Hotels-Agriturismo-Il-Casalino.h24337567.Hotel-Information) > > [PuntAla Camp & Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Castiglione-Della-Pescaia-Hotels-PuntAla-Camp-Resort.h6890097.Hotel-Information) > > [Cappuccina Country Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Gimignano-Hotels-Relais-Cappuccina-Ristorante-Hotel.h1343502.Hotel-Information) > > [Tenuta Fattoria Vecchia](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Scansano-Hotels-Tenuta-Fattoria-Vecchia.h24139391.Hotel-Information) > > [Villa Il Castagno Wine & Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Siena-Hotels-Villa-Il-Castagno-Wine-Resort.h21339011.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Palazzo San Lorenzo & SPA](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Colle-Di-Val-DElsa-Hotels-Hotel-Palazzo-San-Lorenzo-SPA.h3474921.Hotel-Information) > > [Hu Norcenni Girasole Village](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Figline-E-Incisa-Valdarno-Hotels-Norcenni-Girasole-Village.h3530075.Hotel-Information) > > [The Sense Experience Resort - Preferred Hotels & Resorts](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Follonica-Hotels-The-Sense-Experience-Resort.h31888190.Hotel-Information) > > [Hu Montescudaio Village](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Montescudaio-Hotels-Camping-Village-Montescudaio.h42358598.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Hotel Royal](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Viareggio-Hotels-Grand-Hotel-Royal.h27947.Hotel-Information) > > [Villa Olmi Firenze](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bagno-A-Ripoli-Hotels-Villa-Olmi-Firenze.h1441538.Hotel-Information)
