This was our first trip to Italy, and we were blown away by the accommodations at La Flora. Located just a short drive from the train station in Lucca, this wonderful villa had all the modern ammenities, comfortable and top of the line furnishings, but at the same time retained the old Tuscan charm that we were looking for. The rooms are enormous, and there are several sittings areas on each floor that gave everyone in our large group (9 adults) some personal space to unwind. Several mornings, we strolled along the aquaduct that runs adjacent to the property. We even picked some fresh lemons from the potted trees on the propery! The weather was rather cool for June in the beginning of the week, but by the end of the week we did use the room air conditioners in the bedrooms at night.

Alice of Italian Vacation Villas was a fountain of information and truly listened to what we were hoping to have in our rental. The recommendations that she made (both for location and the villa) gave us exactly what we wanted. The travel information packets that she sent us before the trip were also very helpful, and we referred to them several times during the trip. Her professionalism and attentiveness was superb. This was a trip of a lifetime!
