About The Villa Rosa Team
We are a family group that has owned the property since 1325. It entered our family possession as a reward for excellent service at the Battle of Altopascio where Lucca defeated Florence. After Rosina or Rosa passed away a few years ago we thought about what we could do with the property.We saw these non locals coming in and renting properties and thought not only could we do a BETTER job but also be more competitive as well. With a family business and customer focused background, totalling over 200 years, we aim to provide the best Tuscany holiday you can experience.
The Villa Rosa Team purchased this villa in 1325
Why The Villa Rosa Team chose Lucca Area
It is easier to explain why we did not go for a property in Bagni di Lucca itself. Before we re-modernised Villa Rosa we looked at investing in Bagni. It didn't offer what we thought was a true Tuscan Village/hamlet experience, that we new our future guests would prefer. Plus the views at the bottom of our valley are quite limited and constrained.So therefore our choice of location and property were ideal because it was close to Bagni but offered so much more in terms of relaxation, enjoyment and amazing upper valleys views. Also by basing ourselves 10 minutes driving up the valley, we gain the cooling effect of our Prato Fiorito, mountain breezes. Come and find out for yourselves.
What makes this villa unique
Villa Rosa has the best of both words for those that want the Villa in the country side but also know its perfectly placed to take advantage of amenities of a village shop and grocery store only 8 minutes walk away.You are also well placed to drive to supermarkets and hypermarkets from 10 to 25 minutes away.It has space for large family groups and is also perfectly suited for the single writer or producer looking for that piece and quite to think things through.We have fitted a fantastic NATO graded wifi. None of this cueing up up at the local tourist office, to keep abreast of whats going on.The villa is open all year round and with central heating throughout the property you will feel warm and snug throughout the winter months.In the summer, our large swimming pool allows guests to cool down and chill-out in the orchard garden. Here they will experience the total piece and relaxation, of the beautiful Northern Tuscany countryside, that is the Lima Valley.

Reviews
Exceptional!
5/5 -
(24 traveller reviews)
An excellent 5 star location for Tuscany!
We stayed for a week at Villa Rosa in June and had a fabulous time. Our party consisted of myself , wife, 3 children and in laws. First of all I have to thank the Villa Rosa Team in helping us get to the villa. My GPS navigation decided to pack up just past Lucca. A quick call to the team and in 25 minutes, one of them had been dispatched to “escort” us in.I’m sure we would have made it but the fact that they went out of their way to help us meant a lot to me and my family.
We arrived and my tribe decamped to the villa and were shown around the place by the team member. We had bought our supplies at a local hyper market but Villa Rosa had left us a free welcome pack of Wine, diet coke’s and iced tea,that were already in the fridge......what a life saver guys!
Villa Rosa was spotless and well equipped. My teenage daughters loved the Sony ipod sound system and I loved the Sony Flat screen TV....(even though I promised my wife I wouldn’t look at BBC 24 news to keep an eye on the business world).
The kitchen had all the utensils a cook could wish for. But we had decided not to really cook ... after all we were on holiday! We spent our dinners in Bagni di Lucca or at the local trattoria in the village.
We picked Villa Rosa because we were looking for a place to maximize our time in Tuscany. Its only 30 minutes from Lucca and about an hour from Pisa .
We listened to the teams advice and drove to Lucca , parked the car in the safe secure parking area and an hour and half later we were in the centre of Florence. Perfect.
Villa Rosa’s location is hard to fault. All the rooms have fabulous views and the Villa had 2 lovely bathrooms which was appreciated by all.
The pool was large and the garden area around it was well planned with its natural shaded area and sun loungers, all aluminum and very comfortable. With the pool being cleaned twice a week, it was immaculate and the girls loved swimming in the water.
Our week at Villa Rosa finished far to quickly and we spent the evening relaxing on the balcony. Villa Rosa managed to cocoon me at relax me completely. I wish I could go back next week and with any luck we will try and come again for a half term. With the excellent prices they have I can see why they have become very popular, judging by the great comments, left by others in the visitors book.
The whole family loved Villa Rosa and came back home feeling refreshed and relaxed.
Excellent work Villa Rosa!
Beautiful Villa & location. We will return x
I am a writer based in London and every Spring, for the past 10 years, I choose a typical writer's property, for some work and r&r. It must have room for a maximum of 10, have charm, good features, be clean with a great kitchen.Together with amazing views, for inspiration. Not forgetting excellent wifi.
Villa Rosa has all those and much,much more.
I had been to Firenze in my youth. However I was interested in exploring another part of Tuscany. I thus decided upon the Lucca area, since it offered the best of everything.
I emailed plenty of properties with many sadley not even replying back.
Thats something thats not the case, with the Villa Rosa Tuscany Team. I emailed them at around 3 am their time and within 30 minutes I had received a reply!
Part of the actual booking process they use, is to call you up. Its a great idea and gives both parties, the chance to get to introduce themselves.
A member of the team explained. "By calling, we try and make sure that we are the right property for the group, wanting to come and stay. You want the customer to be happy before he's even arrived. That starts by offering excellent customer service, from the moment we recieve your enquiry to the day you leave us."
After a 25 minute chat I was certain that Villa Rosa was the place for me and my mixed group. So I decided to confirm there and then.
With the booking complete, I recieved Villa Rosa's full directions and advice on local places to visit and eat.This was very thorough, around 20 pages long and also included Google map links.
On arrival Villa Rosa, was as exactly as advertised, clean, spotless with fantastic views from the balcony, over the hamlet and valley.
I had asked the Villa Rosa team to do me a grocery shop and my fridge was full Tuscan steak, sausage, fresh fruit and vegetables and cake.
I also received with the compliments of Villa Rosa, 2 delicious D.O.C certiffied bottles of wine, which I thought was a lovely welcoming touch.
Over the next 3 weeks, Villa Rosa was the perfect location for friends and family to come and stay. We all loved the place and facilities and could not have had a better time.
We especially enjoyed the spa in Bagni di Lucca and the trattoria restaurant in the village, which you could get to by walking in about 8 minutes.
A final big thank you to all the Villa Rosa Tuscany team, for making our stay very enjoyable and memorable.
We will see you again soon!
Mille Grazie x
A Villa with a view!
Having just returned from a relaxing week at Villa Rosa I can't rate the villa and management team any higher. From first booking to deposit refund everything ran like clockwork.
A beautiful, well equipped villa offering everything that our family needed (2adults, 2 kids - 19 & 17). The journey up the mountain in the dark was a little hair raising at times so I would recommend timing flights better than we did, but the directions sent by the Villa Rosa team were excellent, just try to absorb them before you set off.
Despite being on the side of a mountain in a small village in the middle of the countryside the wifi speed was exceptional - you know how important that is with mature kids! The views are stunning and you can't beat sitting on the balcony with a glass of wine just watching the world go by. The pool was brilliant, private and just the right size, although in September it took a while to get heated by the sun, although once you braved getting in it was lovely.
We planned to relax this holiday and this was very easily done. We travelled a little to Pisa (which was much nicer than I had been led to believe and you can't go to Pisa without taking the obligatory holding up the tower picture. Parking costs are surprisingly cheap (60 cents and hour) here so I would suggest getting as near to the centre here as you can, paying for a decent length of time and having a Pizza in Pisa. Lucca is beautiful and we definitely need to go back there, if only to parade around the walls in the evening with the locals, never seen so many joggers, dog walkers and cyclists in one place. Bagni di Lucca Is a perfect distance to stock up on all your essentials but the local general store has everything you need if you don't want to travel much.
The village quite literally consists of one church, one general store, a butchers next door (lovely sausages and fresh chicken) and across the road a pub/cafe/restaurant and that's your lot - perfect, what more could you need.
The villagers are very friendly but it helps massively if you can speak some Italian or are at least willing to try.
Overall a lovely villa, in a lovely location, with an excellent management team, who we found were willing to go that one step further than other villa owners when it came to providing a wonderful holiday experience. What more could you ask for.
Thanks Villa Rosa
Magnificent accommodation with private pool
Villa Rosa is a fantastic experience. The whole family loved it and we used the pool every day which the kids especially loved. The whole place had something magical about it, very spacious, clean and well equipped too. Quiet, relaxing and an awesome view from up the mountain.
Excellent service from the Villa Rosa Tuscany Team. The restaurant recommendations were very helpful
Thank you to all the team.
Magical! -
Villa Rosa, located high in the Tuscan mountains and yet just a 40 minute drive from beautiful Lucca, is a hidden gem that all of our 4 children/ 4 adult party declared to be the highlight of our stay in Italy.
The Villa Rosa team has thought of everything - every modern convenience you could want from dishwasher to barbecue all tastefully within the centuries old home - amazing! The brand new pool was immaculate and a wonderful way to cool down after whatever excursion we headed out to for the day. The local butcher and Elena's grocery store were a daily visit - we have never had better sausages in our lives! When we managed to lock ourselves out of the house the first day of our stay, one of the Villa Rosa team had us back inside within minutes.
From the first communication, through the booking process, through all our various questions, the Villa Rosa team was happy to take the time to answer all of our queries. The detailed emails were invaluable in reaching the rental home especially when it came to parking the car. We would advise the use of Google maps GPS as we didn't get lost once while coming from Verona to Villa Rosa, and it would have been tricky without it.
We just wish we had had 2 weeks to stay at Villa Rosa - next time!
Beautiful Villa with breathtaking views
Villa Rosa is everything one could hope for and more! We were a group of 8 ranging in age from 7 to 69 and this property offered something for everyone! From the moment we arrived, we were overwhelmed by the beauty of the villa as well as the surroundings. Walking out onto the private terrace overlooking the small village and taking in the incredible mountain views - well, there are almost no words to describe it. The home is incredibly well-appointed - the kitchen and amenities (including a barbecue which we used daily) are a dream. Providing meals for 8 was easy with everything that this home has to offer! The Villa Avesa Team has thought of everything one would need to make a vacation both relaxing and comfortable! The bedrooms are all wonderful sizes and provide beautiful views of the surroundings. The two bathrooms, one upstairs and one on the main floor, were the ideal layout for our large family! The pool is lovely and so well-maintained. It is very private and served as the perfect ending to a day of touring local sites!
The Villa Avesa Team was easy to communicate with and provided all necessary information prior to our arrival! We felt very much at home right from the start because of all the wonderful information we were given. We managed to lock ourselves out one afternoon from the villa and it wasn't five minutes later, that we were let back in by one of the Villa Avesa's wonderful team! Talk about service!!
If you are considering a visit to this area, look no further than the Villa Avesa! Between the incredible service the team offered us and one of the most beautiful villa I have ever set eyes on, you will not be disappointed with your choice! There is something truly magical about this place!

Additional pricing information
| Fees | No additional mandatory fees |
| Additional Guest Fee | £8 per person per night |
We have different pricing for larger groups and/or with more bedrooms occupied.
With regard to extra charges for different group sizes above. We do not charge individual increases for each person but work on increments of up to 2 for each increase. (Unfortunately home-away system only shows increases charged per person). If a group requires an extra bedroom than what the price classification is for then its an additional £100.
If 9 people are staying, an additional £100 is charged.
If 10 people are staying, the additional charge is still £100
All payments are in British pounds sterling.(£)
Please use your trusted currency converter to work out your exact cost for your own currency
We reserve the right to increase rates for any group & any number of persons that go beyond the specified group date & group size.
Pay pal/international banking charges will be added to the total cost
To offer the Villa at more competitive rates for smaller groups, if in the "Rate Period" description section you see either "2 Bedrooms" or "3 bedrooms", this means that only 2 or 3 bedrooms out of the 4 total will be prepared.
Long term rental enquiries welcome
Heating costs if needed are NOT included in the above utility costs.
We are looking at adding a metered system however for now, we have a flat £30 fee per day if needed.
The person "in charge" of making the reservatation, is responsible for making sure Villa Rosa's location and facilities match the whole groups needs.
Utilities(none heating) are charged on a weekly basis of £100 per week
We have a flat £70 animal charge as well per week. Again adding it automatically above we find confuses the pricing thus we have removed it.
When weeks are split over bank holidays the more expensive 7 day charge applies
