Villa Bertagni
Villa Bertagni is one of the bests! I would do it again! Deiter made everything great, including the option of a great chef.
It is a short trip to other cities and a couple of hours from Florence (take the train), Pisa, Volterra, San Gimignano, and Cinque Terre; all are experiences to remember. Be sure not to miss the nearby medieval town of Castiglione di Garfagnana.
The gods were very kind to us with great weather – thank you Deiter.
Only negative were the directions – they really should be updated with the correct path and not the “back door” approach.

Villa Bertagni
Three friends and I stayed at Villa Bertagni in May. Our host Dieter and his little dog Rocco made our vacation one of the best in my life. The property is gorgeous and I look forward to going back again and again. We were made to feel right at home.
The staff of Easy Reserve were very helpful in helping me to choose a villa as well as following up with me and keeping me in contact with the owner prior to our visit. It made travelling so far away seamless and stress free

(Mary P. - Philadelphia, PA). Villa Bertagni is spacious, comfortable and beautifully decorated. Dieter is a gracious host, anxious to help in anyway. I would highly recommend the property, it is elegant and in a great location.

Villa Bertagni
What a great place; besides the sheer opulence of the villa my family and I loved the location. Far enough away from the hustle and bustle to relax yet close enough to go to the cities of Florence and Pisa. The owner could give lessons in hospitality. What a great person and someone who know how to make you feel welcome. I would stay here again in a heartbeat. I also would strongly recommend this villa to anyone who wants to visit this area of Italy

Villa Bertagni
We spent a fabulous 8 days at Villa Bertagni (despite being somewhat unlucky with the weather). The villa itself is very stylish. Not underfurnished like so many - and with a good number of really really nice antique pieces. The owner used to be in the fashion industry and his sense of style comes through. The central hall area that looks so grand on the photo is indeed beautiful - though a little smaller that it looks in the photos. This is no bad thing - instead of being an echo-ey entrance area, it is furnished with 3 large (nice) sofas and a grand piano making it a really nice place to sit/read. The rooms on the first floor are Ok sized - not huge but nicely done. The 2 rooms on the top floor are bigger - we didn't used them but we suspect they may get a little hot at night. Bathrooms all excellent.
The pool and grounds are excellent. Good size pool, surrounded by mountains - very quiet you could be miles from anywhere. This is a cool trick as the property is in fact pretty close to the town which has a good selection of restaurants/delis and a couple of supermarkets.
Deiter (the owner) lives in a separate building within the grounds. We thought this might be a negative as you are not totally on your own. In fact he is very charming and welcoming but keeps out of your hair. It was also nice to have some support on site if needed.
Overall - ery good. A place you may just fall in love with!

A very memorable stay not least because Bertagni is a beautiful property but also because of the hospitality of Dieter, the villa owner. The website does not do full justice to the villa!

The villa is very beautiful and architecturally very interesting. It is located in a very peaceful and private setting. Dieter, the owner, was extremely helpful in every respect and attended to our every need. He was always eager to help us and indicate to us the best places to go to around the area. I highly recommend this villa to anyone wanting to stay in the area of Lucca in Tuscany.

The pictures do not do the justice to the beauty of Villa Bertagni and it's surroundings. Dieter, the owner, is the man! His hospitality made a wonderful trip exceedingly so. Take any suggestions he offers if at all possible -- you will not be disappointed.

An excellent Villa to spend quality time at with the local Villiage a treat. From here you can visit many other areas of Tuscany. The host Dieter, who is also the owner of the property ensured that any needs that you may have had were satisfied. A truly unforgettable stay.

Villa Bertagni
Utterly fabulous. The setting was amazing and tranquil. Dieter the owner couldn't have been nicer or more helpful and all our guests in the Villa and all the guest apartments had only positive things to say! Very clean and maintained to a high standard. Gorgeous pool and pool area in both the Villa and the guest house apartments. Lovely views, exposed to the sun all day. Filled with spring water and not too chlorinated. The views were amazing and so green. It was remote and quiet which was the perfect setting for our wedding and holiday with our guests.
