Guest Reviews for Villa de Ranieri
The greeting on arrival by the owner and introduction to staff members was fantastic. Excellent location to Lucca and Forte de Marmi and certainly our family of 7 had a wonderful holiday and so sad to leave. It was certainly the highlight of our trip.

Villa de Ranieri ist eine außergewöhnlich schöne Villa. Geschmackvoll, sauber und mit Stil eingerichtet. Jedes Zimmer ist anders eingerichtet und bietet den notwendigen Komfort. Der riesige Garten ist herrlich; riesige Zypressen geben dem Pool (12 Meter x 5 Meter) einen herrlichen Rahmen. Erwähnen möchte ich auch noch die Vermieterin Daniela: Nett, hilfreich bei allen Fragen (Tipps bei Restaurants oder Besichtigungswünschen) und immer über Telefon erreichbar wenn es eine Frage gibt. Toll auch das Service: Tägliche Reinigung der Zimmer und Zubereitung des Frühstücks sind nur ein paar Annehmlichkeiten. Jederzeit wieder. Juli 2019 Michael
