Description
Savor dreamy, unforgettable days among the romantic gardens and views of Villa Dondolino, relax on elegant loungers in the olive grove and bathing in the swimming pool. In the afternoon, make your own grillade and relish it alfresco. Then sip digestivi on the veranda.
The villa's interior includes multiple living salons with beautiful period furnishings and paint finishes. Prepare delicious Italian meals in the fully equipped kitchen, featuring modern appliances and a lovely veranda with breakfast table, and gather in the gorgeous formal dining rooms for festive feasts.
Glorious walks abound from your front door leading to hilltop views of high mountain ranges and glimpses of the glistening Mediterranean. Explore nearby ancient churches and the well-preserved medieval hamlets around, once a resting point for weary pilgrims travelling the Via Francigena, the famous pilgrim route that connected Northern Europe to Rome and then on to the Holy Land.
Villa Dondolino enjoys an ideal location on the surrounding hills A 15 mins drive brings you to Lucca—a medieval gem of a town famed for its fortified city walls, historic architecture and monuments as well of course for its wine production. Its narrow streets and splendid squares are filled with intriguing shops, enticing cafes and great restaurants. Take a bicycle ride on the battlements or set aside a few hours to tour a local vineyard and taste your way to a new favourite wine. On a day trip away from your rural retreat, stroll along the sandy beaches or take a swim in the warm waters on the bustling Versillian Riviera just 25 mins away; it’s a unique Italian seaside experience with bathing establishments stretching for miles along the sandy shores from vibrant Viareggio to sophisticated Forte dei Marmi. Florence, Pisa, Siena, Volterra, San Gimignano, Montecatini Terme, the fishing villages of the Cinque Terre, the spectacular mountains of the Garfagnana and many other highlights are all within easy reach.

The description fairly describes the property and opportunities it offers but how you fall in love with this place when you visit is a very personal thing. The elements, the sounds, aromas light and feel of the air around Dondalino is unique in our experience. It's setting brings drama of sunsets and sunrises, breezes and zephyrs that keep a freshness when elsewhere the atmosphere is stuffy and the light in the gardens and around the pool and the house is very special in the low hillside air. Our hosts were brilliant and the agency helped make our month long summer stay with family very special. Definitely hope to visit again

The property caters for 8 and it would be useful to be able to have enough equipment to covers two meals for everyone.
It would be beneficial for the agency to offer a mid-stay clean. The owners offer incredible support to guests

Finding a lovely villa that works for your situation takes some time....but after much researching, we booked this villa and fell in love with it the moment we drove up the hill and saw it for the first time. It had everything we wanted in a villa and more. The pictures just can not do it justice and it took our breath away when we first arrived. We visited Florence, Cinque Terre, San Gimignano, Viareggio and a lovely little town at the top of a mountain, Pedona. We always loved coming back to our villa/home.

We enjoyed the stay very much. The house had everything that is important for a nice vacation. Especially a lot of space, a large garden with pool, sunbeds, a large kitchen, barbecue. We have lacked nothing. The price is high but you get a lot for it. We also liked the location, you can make many trips in the area (Lucca, wineries, to the beach...). Highly recommended.

Wat een prachtig huis met zwembad en wat een mooie plek!
Wij hebben met z'n zessen een heerlijke tijd gehad hier. Eten op het terras, zwemmen tot s'avonds laat in een verlicht zwembad en de auto's op eigen terrein. prachtige kamers boven en alles zo mooi verzorgd en schoon.... Kan het iedereen aanraden want het is de prijs echt waard. enige verbeterpunt kan zijn dat de bedden wat minder zijn voor een huis op dit niveau. |
