Over deze accommodatie

Bell'Estate - Your Dream Villa in Tuscany

  • The villa, built in the 1870s, sits on top of a hill overlooking green fields and vineyards towards the south and west. On a property of about seven acres, the garden offers complete privacy, and a variety of walks and quiet places.

    This villa is not just a rental place, but the residence of a three generation family, who have filled it with an extensive collection of books and texts. It is a unique pleasure to immerse oneself in the quiet of this cultural oasis, away from loud crowds and everyday bustle.

    Only ten minutes from the center of Lucca, the surroundings are open farmland, protected by the Cultural Landmarks Commission, with a church on a higher hill and farms and villas to dot the landscape. The area offers the best of what Tuscany is known and loved for: an unforgettable countryside, a beautiful medieval town full of art and precious boutiques, Summer festivals with opera and concerts, amazing wines, and of course renowned and unknown restaurants that will give great pleasure to those who appreciate the simple and sophisticated flavors of Tuscan cuisine.

Amazing views, lovely grounds!

Our large group with small children had a wonderful time at the villa. The pool is one of the largest I’ve seen at a private property and the grounds are large and great for kids. The villa has gorgeous views and feels secluded but is only about 10 minutes to Lucca centre by car. The bedrooms are large and comfortable and there are lots of bathrooms, handy for big groups. The daily cleaning was a nice touch, the cleaners were kind and unobtrusive to our stay. Overall we had a fantastic time and would come again!

House was lovely, property is wonderful. Pool was an asset which we greatly enjoyed. We ate all of our meals outside in the beautiful area behind the house. Housekeepers daily were pleasant and unobtrusive. Owner was accessible and extremely helpful with information and suggestions. We felt Alessandra went out of her way to help us plan a wonderful vacation for our extended family.The area was very interesting and historical. We had an amazing time.

Truly Magical and Authentic

The property is like a manor estate, yet it is not cold in the least. It is a warm, welcoming home with plenty of space to gather either inside or out. The owner is a wonderfully interesting couple that are friendly and responsive. this is the third time we’ve rented homes for 3 weeks in Tuscany and this home was the best!

Alessandra could not have been more welcoming, and the home was everything in our Italian dreams. The villa is the perfect blend of grand and cozy - very authentic, Italian energy with warm cozy fireplaces and rich history everywhere you turn. It's just a short 15 minute drive from Lucca, where we spent most of our days. We stayed at the home for Thanksgiving for 9 days with my in-laws and our 3 young kids. The chef made THE BEST turkey dinner we'd ever had, and Alessandra even left us some homemade cranberry sauce. Also, having Cynthia, the housekeeper, made a huge difference keeping the house tidy - the perks of a hotel while having your own space. Highly recommend this home - especially with a large group or kids the chef for a few meals to get an authentic/magical experience. Thank you again Alessandra, we will be back!!!

Magical stay in the Tuscan hills near Lucca

Wonderful stay with my family in a charming historical home that is well taken care of and clearly lived in by its owners. If you wish to take a vacation that will transport you back in time yet still feel comfortable and cozy then you must consider the Bell'Estate. It has ample space for outdoor activities and lovely gardens to enjoy nature. You're also minutes away from the most enchanting town of Lucca. All ages will enjoy the villa. On top of that all the owner (Allesandra) is a joy and was super attentive to all our needs and more. I would definitely recommend it as a 10/10 experience.

Magical Experience

Our 3-generation family of 14 (ages 80 to 24) had a fabulous 2-week vacation at Bell’Estate. The villa and grounds are absolutely beautiful-just as pictured on the webpage. The pool was huge and in such a beautiful setting. The location is perfect for day trips. We spent time in Lucca, Florence, Pisa, Cinque Terre, Viareggio and San Gimignano. The wisteria arbor provided a magical surprise after dark- hundreds of fireflies lighting up like stars. Our host, Alessandra, could not have been more helpful and responsive. She did everything possible to make us feel welcome and cared for including a recommendation for a chef, Sonia, to prepare several very delicious meals for us. It was wonderful to come back to the villa after a day of sightseeing to a scrumptious meal waiting for us. To sum up, our experience was perfect!

Beautiful family home and idyllic area

The property is stunning, grand with incredible views. Also the lovely fresh tomatoes from the garden were a lovely added extra. The pool really is exceptional and definitely the biggest I've ever hired, with Hockney views! The only reason for a star down was the cleaners and gardeners were there daily and were there unnecessarily for hours every day and overbearing (also the gardener turned sprinklers on guests by the pool). I would request the cleaners are there far less frequently from the outset.

The contact with Alessandra leading up to our stay was absolutely lovely—quick, pleasant, and full of helpful information. When we arrived, the house and its surroundings were even more beautiful than in the pictures! The home is truly the ultimate Tuscan dream. Alessandra has decorated it in such a warm and personal way, and she really makes you feel welcome in their home. It genuinely feels like you're living in Tuscany for a while.Swimming in the amazing 25-meter pool with views of the mountain peaks is a dream, and afterwards you can enjoy tomatoes fresh from the garden! In no time at all, you're in the charming and diverse town of Lucca, and the surrounding area is perfect for scenic walks. The housekeeping staff are very kind and discreet—you hardly notice they're there.The house and garden offer complete privacy, both from neighbors and within the house itself. The layout is spacious, yet the cozy shared spaces for dining, drinks, or relaxing make it easy and enjoyable to spend quality time together.If you're looking for a personal, authentic Tuscan home with all the comforts you could wish for, Alessandra’s place is simply perfect!

Absolutely Unforgettable

What an amazing stay! Everything was perfect, in fact, better than we expected when my entire family of 16 stayed for a week in Lucca. From the moment we were greeted to the post-cleanup (finding a number of things we left behind), the stay exceeded our expectations. I'm not sure how the place could be even better than the gorgeous pictures, but it is. The highlight is the stunning, immaculately clean, gigantic pool. We stayed during a very hot week and I blame the beautiful pool for keeping us from touring more of the area. However, even with the heat, the main areas of the house stayed cool and the bedrooms are air conditioned so we were all perfectly comfortable. Communication with Alessandra was seamless and she not only answered our logistics questions but gave wonderful recommendations for food and coffee in the area as well as activities such as biking and wine tasting. The cleaning each day was also such a welcome amenity. The house is truly spotless and that takes a lot of work. The only downside is that now nothing will ever compare to this incredible holiday. I woke up every morning with a smile, hearing church bells, seeing the sun beam over Tuscany. It is truly magical and utterly unforgettable.

Amazing home away from home

This property is a classic Tuscan villa in the rolling hills outside the charming city of Lucca that we have used for family and friends on vacations and love more each passing year. It is spectacular, with large bedrooms, modern bathrooms, a recently renovated third floor, a sitting area with cool breezes for dining al fresco, and a large pool. This home is lovingly maintained and has been updated by the owner, who is a joy to deal with on every detail. Only minutes from Lucca, less than an hour from the coast, and a short drive or train ride to Florence, this villa is the perfect home away from home for your vacation. You will adore it.

Perfectly relaxing, great location, gorgeous views!!

This is our second time staying at Bell'Estate and it won't be our last. This is a beautifully maintained and wonderfully curated home. We are constantly impressed with all the little details (fully stocked kitchen, towels, sheets, books and maps on the area, etc) that make our stay as enjoyable as possible. The pool was incredible with gorgeous views of the countryside. Each morning we would enjoy a cup of coffee on the new patio and end the day with a glass of wine there too. We made great use of the well-stocked kitchen preparing meals that included tomatoes and herbs from the gardens. And the beds!!! The luxurious Italian bed linens were just to die for. We really did have a wonderful time and truly can’t thank Alessandra enough! She goes above and beyond to make it a great vacation for her guests!

Our Magical Stay at Bell’ Estate in Lucca

There are truly no words to describe how special the two weeks were that we stayed at Bell’ Estate. We were celebrating a milestone birthday with 16 family members and all of us made memories for a lifetime. From my first communication with Alessandra, the process of booking the home, preparing for our trip and enjoying this beautiful space was a dream. The home itself has amazing history, charm and character, and offered our group all the space we needed to enjoy each other’s company without being underfoot. The pool and landscaping are unsurpassed, there are easy hikes from the home to explore the countryside and the proximity to Lucca enabled us to enjoy that beautiful city everyday. But we were always eager to get back to the lively Bell’ Estate. I left a little piece of my heart there!

SIMPLY STUNNING!!

We spent 5 days in this beautiful villa located in the countryside outside of Lucca. We where a party of 10 adults and six kids: the villa is large and housed us comfortably. The mood is very special. Classic, elegant and authentic. The house is impeccably kept, and is clearly looked after with great care. We all had the feeling we where getting the real Tuscan experience. We naturally all gravitated twards the kitchen, which even if slightly smaller than most of the rooms in the house, is homey and well equipped. Having a chef in our midst contributed of course. Our other favorite spot is the top floor with its gigantic fireplace, and I mean the thing is huge. Sipping wine late at night by the fire after a day of walking the crowds of Lucca Comics... priceless. We thoroughly enjoyed this house and plan on coming back. Highly recommended!!

A beautiful, large, traditional Italian estate in a great location

Bell 'Estate is a lovely, very large, traditional Italian home.....as other reviewers have noted, even more beautiful in the flesh than in the pictures. If you're after a soulless, modern villa with every modern convenience, then maybe this isn't the right place for you. But if you want to experience living in a large house from La Belle Époque, then this is something very special. The house is full of the books and pictures that make it a 'lived in' family home. And there is sufficient space for a large group all to lose themselves in their own haven. Inevitably in August a particular highlight was the private swimming pool, an extraordinary 25 metres and delightfully warm, in a quiet spot a little way away from the house. The house is about a 15 min drive from the historic town of Lucca. The owner, Alessandra, was extremely attentive in ensuring that everything was ready for us and everything was fine. Her sister, Sonia - an excellent cook - was able to prepare a couple of dinners for us, as well. I would thoroughly recommend this house.....and we certainly hope to return ourselves one day.

Tuscany at its very best!!!

My wife and three other couples recently stayed at the fabulous estate outside of Lucca, in the Tuscan countryside. We are speechless. From an Olympic-sized swimming pool (which came in handy because of the high 90 degree heat), to sumptuous tree-lined grounds, a private entrance, and a 5 bedroom estate out of the 18th century......bellisimo!! We met Sonja, sister to the owner of the property, and she was wonderful, very helpful. Not only did she give us guidance on the neighboring area, she also cooked us a true Tuscan dinner on one night of our 7 night stay. It was spectacular, but then again, everything about this home was spectacular. There were really no negatives I can think of other than showers being a bit on the smaller size, but that pales in comparison to the beauty of this estate. Bedrooms are spacious, the kitchen is functional and outstanding, the WIFI worked well, and there are other rooms aplenty. We absolutely plan on staying here again!!
