We really enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend it! ##### Olivia From a partner site ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lou 5 Sept 2025 #### Stunning location The villa was exactly as described, offering plenty of space and excellent amenities.

Daniela was wonderful to work with and very responsive with questions before and during our stay. Highly recommend. ##### Brian From a partner site ### 10/10 Excellent #### Christina 15 Jun 2025 #### This home became our home away from home We had the most incredible stay and visit at the Secret Escape Villa!! The pictures are truly accurate of the beautiful home and surroundings. The listing agent and owner were present for both check-in and check-out and were very informative on the home and the area. The home is meticulously decorated and prepared for visitors! It is very comfortable with ample spaces for gathering as a group,resting in quiet areas. There is every kitchen/dining item that you could ever wantneed while on vacation. The beds and pillows were incredibly comfortable, and we all slept so soundly! Plentiful towels and linens - all top quality! This home became our home away from home, while we toured Tuscany - Lucca, Monte Carlo, and Florence - for a week - and is the basis for the special memories that we will carry for a lifetime! Five Stars + ! ##### Christina From a partner site ### 10/10 Excellent #### Norbert 28 Oct 2025 #### Family time in Tuscany. We did the research and felt Lucca would be an ideal location for relaxation and day journeying e.g. Cinque Terra. I booked the Villa Secret Escape so that family from Europe, New Zealand and USA could meet in Tuscany. There were 10 of us and we immensely enjoyed our stay. There was plenty of space, grand sized family room, dining room, 5 bedrooms and great character. There were also excellent outdoor facilities and a very modern pool. I’m not sure anything was missing. You can’t go wrong with this villa! ##### Norbert From a partner site ### 10/10 Excellent #### Noah 12 Oct 2025 #### Extraordinary. This home is extraordinary with period feature but modern convenience. The gardens and the pool area are beautiful. We were 10 people and each one found areas that were special. ##### Noah From a partner site ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jim 1 Jun 2025 #### Superbe Villa Superbe location. Superbe Villa meublée avec beaucoup de goût dans un cadre magnifique Cuisine super équipée Propreté impeccable, fortement recommandé ##### Jim From a partner site ### 10/10 Excellent #### Olivia 22 Apr 2025 #### It is a beautiful place to stay! The villa lived up to all the images on the website, all of the adult guests agreed that it was superb. And the baby was provided with a cot and highchair too! The property is comfortable and relaxing, with everything you could need. ##### Olivia ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [TH Capoliveri - Grand Hotel Elba International](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Capoliveri-Hotels-Grand-Hotel-Elba-International.h2541656.Hotel-Information) > - [Camping Feniglia](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Monte-Argentario-Hotels-Camping-Feniglia.h18458697.Hotel-Information) > - [La Fattoria di Tirrenia](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pisa-Hotels-La-Fattoria-Di-Tirrenia.h10437233.Hotel-Information) > - [Fattoria di Maiano](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Fiesole-Hotels-Fattoria-Di-Maiano.h15814589.Hotel-Information) > - [Borgo Di Colleoli Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Palaia-Hotels-Borgo-Di-Colleoli-Resort.h4325005.Hotel-Information) > - [Il Castello di San Ruffino](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Casciana-Terme-Lari-Hotels-San-Ruffino-Resort.h8231979.Hotel-Information) > - [Villa Dianella Wine Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Vinci-Hotels-Villa-Dianella.h2529471.Hotel-Information) > - [Villa Rosetta, int 1\. cozy apartment with direct access to the sea](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Monte-Argentario-Hotels-Villa-Rosetta.h51913732.Hotel-Information) > - [Tuscany Villa with private pool and jacuzzi for Honeymoon and summer holiday](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Castelnuovo-Di-Val-Di-Cecina-Hotels-Tuscany-Villa-With-Private-Pool-And-Jacuzzi-For-Honeymoon-And-Summer-Holiday.h18971563.Hotel-Information) > - [Hotel Da Vinci](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Vinci-Hotels-Hotel-Da-Vinci.h1136857.Hotel-Information) > - [travelodgeuk Hotels in London](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Travelodge-UK.0-0-d178279--bTravelodgeUK.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > - [Terme di Saturnia Natural Spa & Golf Resort - The Leading Hotels of the World](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manciano-Hotels-Terme-Di-Saturnia-Natural-Spa-Golf-Resort-The-Leading-Hotels-Of-The-World.h6488645.Hotel-Information) > - [Hotel La Roqqa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Monte-Argentario-Hotels-Hotel-La-Roqqa.h89276626.Hotel-Information) > - [Castelfalfi](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Montaione-Hotels-TOSCANA-RESORT-CASTELFALFI.h16117482.Hotel-Information) > - [Castello di Bossi](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Castelnuovo-Berardenga-Hotels-Casa-Tolomei-Bossi-Di-Sopra.h12063027.Hotel-Information) > - [Shangri-La The Shard, London](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Shangri-La-The-Shard.h8035714.Hotel-Information) > - [Karma Borgo Di Colleoli](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Palaia-Hotels-Karma-Borgo-Di-Colleoli.h57243768.Hotel-Information) > - [Hotel Da Vinci](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Montecatini-Terme-Hotels-Hotel-Da-Vinci.h3464734.Hotel-Information) > - [hu Firenze Certosa camping in town](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Impruneta-Hotels-Firenze-Certosa-Camping.h101503652.Hotel-Information) > - [Auto Park Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Florence-Hotels-Auto-Park-Hotel.h1058012.Hotel-Information) > - [Tagoli: A Peaceful Tuscan Escape with Pool & Breathtaking Views](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Fabbriche-Di-Vergemoli-Hotels-Tuscan-Farmhouse.h34042851.Hotel-Information) > - [Il Borro - Relais & Châteaux](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Loro-Ciuffenna-Hotels-Il-Borro-Relais-Chateaux.h5585638.Hotel-Information) > - [TH Tirrenia - Green Park Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pisa-Hotels-Hotel-Mercure-Tirrenia-Green-Park.h583526.Hotel-Information) > - [Borgo Pignano Volterra Tuscany](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Volterra-Hotels-Borgo-Pignano.h8677240.Hotel-Information) > - [Agriturismo La Palazzina](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Murlo-Hotels-Agriturismo-La-Palazzina.h3801908.Hotel-Information) > - [Agri Resort & Spa Le Colline del Paradiso](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Vaglia-Hotels-Agri-Resort-Le-Colline-Del-Paradiso.h53421137.Hotel-Information) > - [Giglio](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Montecatini-Terme-Hotels-Giglio.h921993.Hotel-Information) > - [Castello Banfi - Il Borgo - Relais et Chateaux](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Montalcino-Hotels-Castello-Banfi-Il-Borgo.h4774015.Hotel-Information) ### Packages ---
