  •   12  Sleeps
  •   6  Bedrooms

Description

La Flora is a large villa with private swimming pool located a short drive away from the city centre of Lucca and at easy reach to shops. The position of this property is ideal for travellers looking to explore the Tuscan region and visit its many attractions. Prior to your arrival, Salogi will send a list of great restaurants, food stores and shops close by as well as with tips on the best things to visit in the area.

This property is extremely comfortable, the owners have furnished it with great attention of all the aspects needed by travellers to fully enjoy their vacation. The result is a property restored in total respect of the Tuscan tradition with beamed ceilings, antique cotto floor and washed colours-decor yet at the same time equipped with all modern amenities. All bedrooms have their ensuite bathroom and are equipped with air-conditioning. The kitchen is very well furnished, ideal for those who enjoy cooking. For those who would like to relax completely and not think about the cooking, cooking service can be organised on request. A great cook can come and prepare meals for guests, for some of our past clients this was one of the highlights during their holiday in Lucca.

The exterior of the house has been furnished as well keeping in mind the needs of travellers. One of La Flora's highlights is the unusually large infinity swimming pool plastered in grey with blue reflexes (20x5m). The swimming pool is ideal for families travelling with young children as it is totally fences to guarantee their safety.

Despite being very close to Lucca - the town centre is only 8 kms away - it is located in a quiet setting, inside the "Nottolini park". The area takes its name from the famous architect who built the neoclassical monumental aqueduct that runs along the boundary of the estate and is popular with those who love walking and jogging in a quiet and historical surroundings.

Please note that no bookings are taken for La Flora from principal client below age 25 and it is not permitted to smoke inside the house.

Guest Reviews for La Flora

"It's difficult to come up with one phrase, one idea or one emotion that encapsulates the experience at La Flora. My best effort is to call it "Perfection". Nine of us gathered at La Flora, traveling from all corners of the U.S. We had known each other for 30 years plus so finding a comfortable yet beautiful place to stay was a priority.

From the moment we arrived we were greeted with warmth and hospitality. Isla sat with us reviewing the gorgeous property and providing advice on local sites, restaurants and vineyards. All of her recommendations proved to be excellent.

Our first night (and for two more) we enjoyed the culinary talents of Francesca & Frederico. As you can imagine, food & wine were a central part of our daily celebration. Recommended to us through the owner, the food was fresh, beautiful & delicious. Francesca & Frederico were charming and added the perfect Italian touch to the evening.

La Flora is a spacious villa with a prolific amount of gathering & private spaces. Big, clean, beautiful and comfortable, it provides every appointment necessary for a 5 star vacation.

The days passed far too quickly with travels, relaxation by the pool and delightful trips into Lucca. La Flora provided nine life long friends with an opportunity of a lifetime."


Gina and her assistant were brilliantissimi !
Wonderfull holydays in la Villa La Flora ,which could have been at its best if, there was more outside space in the shade with armchairs, stools and stands for drinks before the meals.


I enjoyed the stay in villa La Flora very much. The house is lovely, the pool great and the bedrooms extremely good. I highly recommend this villa.
The only thing I would suggest the owner should improve is to add more wine glasses . The maid service is great and very helpful. Over all I loved villa La Flora.


Our stay at La Flora was perfect. Gina was absolutely wonderful and very responsive and helpful. I don’t think that I can think of anything that would’ve made it more perfect. I don’t think that we are going to Italy next summer, because we have a plan to go to Croatia. I have recommended La Flora to many people, but I’m not sure that any of them have enough people in their group to rent it.
This was the second time that I rented la Flora and I found the coordinates very helpful in locating it.


We had a wonderful stay at villa La Flora. The house is beautiful and the pool is amazing. Gina was a great host + greeted us so warmly upon arrival. We had multiple meals cooked and prepared in the villa and every single one was the best we ever had. Francesca was a doll and a fabulous cook. We were able to see Cinque Terre, Siena, Chianti and Florence easily via day trips. This is a perfect home for a large group. I would recommend this place to anyone looking to spend time in Tuscany. Thank you for a wonderful stay and memories that will last for a lifetime.


We searched for quite a while to find the right place to have a family gathering for our 70th birthday year. By vote we chose La Flora. It is rare in my experience when a hotel or destination proves to be better than the photos but La Flora surpasses our highest expectations. And after a week- long bike trip (for me) in the Italian Alps, and a week for two in Bellagio and more Southern Italy this was the perfect place to get all 11 of us together. With 5 grandchildren under nine years old, the pool was the biggest hit. Another highlight (as if any were needed for this house) were Francesca and Federico. Their cooking was simply wonderful but they surpassed their cooking. Our oldest grandson has his 9th birthday while there. They brought balloons, gifts and made a remarkable birthday cake. They will both be part of the fond memories. Our week ends tomorrow – back to work and real life (including our ridiculous President) but our memories of this amazing house, the Tuscan countryside and of all the wonderful trees . Wished this week will last beyond our 70th birthday Thank you so much for sharing La Flora!


La Flora was an amazing place. It was so beautiful - perfect for our group of friends. There was a lot of common space, yet a lot of privacy if you needed some time to yourself. The villa itself had so much character and history, yet all the modern conveniences. Everything was very clean and new - the linens and towels were lovely and Julia (the cleaning lady) did a fabulous job for us. The pool was fantastic, and the grounds were beautiful. It was such a relaxing environment!! We loved the entire experience, from walking alongside the Aquaduct to explore the neighborhood, to riding bikes into town for groceries. The guidebooks the owners offered were very helpful in terms of both local restaurants and the "how to" of appliances. I will never forget our week at La Flora - it was absolutely perfect.


“La Flora had the old world charm of Tuscany with modern convienances. The Villa lived up to our expectations and was in a great location. Pool and grounds were beautiful and great to enjoy after a long day. The villa was very clean and spacious with seperate living areas on all three floors.”


I am one of the Canadian contingent who rented La Flora Sept19-26. The villa is really lovely – we thoroughly enjoyed our stay (The beds were very comfortable as were the bed linens and pillows)


in der Tat war die Villa La Flora ein Traum. Alle meine Freunde, die dabei waren haben gesagt, daß sie noch nie in einem so gut geführten Haus waren. Wir haben auch schon überlegt im Frühjahr wieder eine solche Fahrt zu machen.Wir fahren ja mit unseren Cabrios. 900 km von Augsburg aus sind da die Schmerzgrenze. Wenn wir im Frühjahr fahren, sind wir 3 bis 5 Paare. Als Ziel haben wir uns Elba, Korsika, Südfrankreich oder eben wieder Italien bis max Südtoskana gesetzt. Besonders gut hat uns an La Flora die Sache mit dem Koch am ersten Abend gefallen und daß jemand da war, der sich gekümmert hat.Wenn wir schon dabei sind: Die Anfrahrt zu La Flora war schwierig, da wir uns alle auf das Navi verlassen haben, die Koordinaten jedoch nicht gestimmt haben. Schade war auch, daß die Betten allesamt so gequitscht haben. Bei allen Betten hätten wir Komfort vor Ambiente vorgezogen. Alles andere war TOP! Die Küche, die Kücheneinrichtung, das Ambiente, der Pool, die Lage, Der Eisspender im Kühlschrank, der Weinschrank, ..... Die Liegestuhlauflagen ware vollzählig und neuwertig. Man hat an La Flora gemerkt, daß sich jemand kümmert.
