Villa Rosalena 4 bed with stunning river views, splash pool,garden, walk to town

The villa offers the rare and sought after combination of a large, elegant villa with stunning river views and garden with pool yet within easy walking distance of a beautiful historic spa town in northern Tuscany, with a bar and restaurant just 5 minutes away on foot.

The villa and garden are enclosed providing a a safe environment from which to explore the stunning scenery and nature around Bagni di Lucca.

Strong, free wi-fi throughout the villa.

Easy access to public transport mean that it's possible to leave the car behind and make day trips by bus or train.

The views are breathtaking, looking down on the river below. The loggia with its three terracotta arches is the perfect spot to relaxi with friends and family and a glass of Tuscan wine.

The splash pool is ideal to cool off in on a hot summers day and the terraced gardens provide for relaxing under the Tuscan sun or dining al fresco with is a traditional chimney barbecue.

The accommodation is the whole top floor of the villa and has 4 large double bedrooms all with ensuite shower room, kitchen, lounge area with open fire place, another living/dining room, plus of course the loggia with its terracotta arches, stunning views and further seating.

Bedrooms are made up with high quality white cotton bedlinen and towels. Pool towels are provided. Cleanliness is also very important to us and we ensure that the property is cleaned to the highest standard.

As many of the bedrooms are large it is possible to make rooms up with extra beds or to make some rooms with twin single beds instead of double beds. We aim to be flexible and we will try to arrange the rooms to suit your groups needs. Please contact us to discuss your ideal sleeping arrangements.

The villa is very well equipped with everything you need for your holiday: guidebooks, maps and local information, tv with HDMI lead/Chromecast and various board games.

A welcome basket is provided with local specialities, Tuscan wines, and some basics to ensure a stress free start to your holiday.

The villa is reached by a series of steps and is not suitable for those with mobility difficulties.

The accommodation is an historic Tuscan villa making it ideal for larger families or groups of friends.

This was ideal property for extended family break with our kids and their partners in their 20s. All rooms were spacious with own bathrooms. The covered terrace looking up the valley was the favourite place to hang out. So much interesting history to discover in walking distance as well as easy access to Lucca and Florence by train or driving and more serious walking options in Alpi Apuane nearby . Great local cafe /bar in walking distance.

Hospitality and environment

We booked the villa with three friends and had a marvellous time. Everything worked very well at the villa , the view was breathtaking by day and night. Even the weather was in our favour. We did many trips to other cities and profited from Ron’s tips on dinner locations.

Four beautiful days in late December

We had four wonderful days in this beautiful house in Bagni di Lucca. The apartment was spacious and charming and we lacked nothing. The location is great and the view of the river valley magnificent. The host was very helpful (and quick in responding) in all communication throughout. We warmly recommend this place!

Séjour très agréable

Le gîte correspond à l'annonce, bien tenu et spacieux. Le patio est très agréable, on a toujours un peu d'air même quand il fait chaud et la vue est magnifique. La piscine est spacieuse pour 4 personnes. Les commerces sont proches, il y a même un resto proche absent de Google Map super bon. Un petit passage par les termes vous détendra et je vous conseille également la ballade proposée par le propriétaire dont l'accueil a été parfait et les bons plans parfaits.

Tolles Toskana-Erlebnis

Wir hatten einen wundervollen Aufenthalt in der Villa Rosalena. Die Villa bietet ausreichend Platz für zwei Familien. Die Zimmer sind großzügig und mit eigenem Bad. Das ist sicherlich ein Highlight. Handtücher in ausreichender Anzahl inkl. für den Pool werden bereit gestellt. Das Ambiente ist eher rustikal und einfach gehalten. Daraus ergibt sich aber ein stimmiges Gesamtkonzept. Trotz kleinerer Küche, kann man für viele Leute kochen, da alles Nötige vorhanden ist. Ein besonderes Highlight ist die überdachte Terrasse von der man einen herrlichen Blick auf Bagni di Lucca hat und auf der man auch bei regnerischen Stunden gemütlich sitzen kann. Insgesamt ist das ganze Grundstück sehr liebevoll angelegt. Überall gibt es schöne Sitzplätze. Hervorzuheben ist auch der Grillplatz unter dem Quittenbaum. Dort kann man sehr schön sitzen und laue Sommerabende verbringen (Mückenschutz nicht vergessen). Auch das Pooldeck ist schön angelegt mit einem tollen Blick auf die Berge. Auch wenn die Liegestühle und die Pooltreppe schon bessere Tage gesehen haben. Der Pool selbst ist aber super. Hinweis: Das Grundstück ist aufgrund der Hanglage und der vielen Treppen eher nicht für Kleinstkinder geeignet, da diese dort nicht gefahrlos herum rennen können. Ab Grundschulalter sollte es aber kein Thema sein. Für das Einkaufen und auch für Touren in die Umgebung sollte man sich darauf einrichten, dass man aufgrund der Infrastruktur auch für verhältnismäßig kurze Strecken länger unterwegs sein kann (50km Strand -> ca. 1Std). Hervorzuheben ist die tolle Betreuung durch den Gastgeber Rod. Er wohnt auf dem Grundstück, trotzdem hat man eine optimale Privatsphäre. Wann immer man ihn braucht ist er persönlich oder per WhatsApp erreichbar und gibt umgehend Rückmeldung auf alle Fragen. Darüber hinaus hat immer noch einen tollen Tipp. Ein vergessenes Ladegerät wurde unkompliziert an uns geschickt. Fazit: Unser Aufenthalt in Bagni di Lucca bot uns ein herrliches Toskana-Erlebnis bei optimalen Preis-/Leistungsverhältnis.

Really nice house and wonderful area

The whole area was a pleasant Tuscany surprise and we will come back to investigate more. The house is wonderfully situated with a terrific view of the river, mountains and the city. Rooms are large and kitchen is new and efficient. The beautiful view uphill does come with many stairs, which is definitively charming, but might be a challenge for some senior visitors. Rod is a really nice and very helpful host and we enjoyed our stay tremendously. PS: Try the recommended bathing place in the Lima river and also the activities in the Canyon Park.

Lovely property ideal for group of friends or family

We rented the home for a family holiday and ideal to have 4 rooms each with bathroom. The host was excellent and provided tips on where to eat and explore. Nice pool and BBQ areas. The property has a large indoor terrace with views of the river and valley. This is a quiet little town but with good train link nearby to travel more widely although a car is a bonus for shopping etc. The property does have a lot of steps so not for anyone unstable or elderly. Overall we loved our week and would recommend.

Fantastic!

Fantastic break in a beautiful house. The rooms are spacious and light and is such a great place to relax either on the terrace, by the pool or in the garden. Rod our host was so accommodating and friendly. The welcome pack was very generous and full of useful and gorgeous local fayre. Loads of local knowledge and helpful advice too. We would definitely recommended staying and would love to rebook. There are great local restaurants with walking distance, beautiful views and lots to do. The river is great to wander in and Pisa is an hour or so by train. Thank you again Rod!

Kurzurlaub

Die kleine Stadt ist sehr "italienisch". Der Ausblick von der Terasse aus ist nicht zu überbieten. Die Eigentümer sind sehr freundlich, hilsfbereit. Uns hat nichts gefehlt. Die Appartments sind nur für Leute mit gute Konditions zu empfehlen, da man über mehrere Stufen das Domiziel erreichen kann. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Vielen Dank.

A beautiful property with loads of character and charm.

This was a super place to stay. With sun deck, plunge pool and beautiful loggia, all overlooking the delightful river, it was difficult to drag ourselves away. But the charming villages and the proximity to Lucca and Pisa made day trips well worth it. There is a great BBQ area if you weren't in the mood for eating out, but also many quality restaurants and trattorias. Our hosts made our trip even better providing useful local knowledge and information. Rod was on hand for any questions or emergencies(we broke a shelf!) but we never felt that he was intruding. We cannot recommend this villa highly enough.

Lovely views, overlooking beautiful villas, interesting buildings and the river Valley.

Rod met us as we arrived late and made sure we got installed safely and easily. The wine and food set out for our welcome was really appreciated and a nice touch. Villa Rosalena is spacious and clean and has many interesting features. All the mod cons, and every bedroom an ensuite. It was very cosy and we'll miss waking to the beautiful vistas. Really good spot to explore this part of Tuscany. Make sure you take time to walk in both directions from the villa because there's lots of places nearby worth a look.

Everything it said it was!

Have to say, it was everything it said it was. Communication with the owner very good prior to our arrival, meet us when we arrived, offered suggestions on where to go etc, do ask him as having lived there for 10 years he should know! Clean and tidy when we arrived, had the whole run of the property, all 4 beds made up for a party of 4, we could have had a room each! The view is to die for. In the older part of Bagni and a car is needed to get to the supermarket is it is in the newer part and that is a good walk. Local bar and restaurants just up the road. Whilst there we visited Lucca, Florence (by train from Lucca, 15 Euros return, although you could drive to Prato) and Pisa. So much to see in Florence you need more than a day. In fact you need more than a week for the same reason. I'd happily recommend it. Also offers B&B.

Beautiful Villa Rosalena.

Villa Rosalena was everything we hoped for and even more. We found the ad to be absolutely accurate and truthful. The rooms, the garden and the atmosphere was perfect. Rod and Caroline was very kind and helpful. Bagni de Lucca is a beautiful village and Villa Rosalena was a lovely place to stay. We can definitely recommend a visit to this Villa, and we wish to one day return for another stay.

Listing description is spot on. This villa and everything in it is spotless with plenty of room to spare for us 9 ladies. Beautiful views, quiet and relaxing area with bars/restaurants with very good food with 5 minutes walk. Rod, the owner is so welcoming and helpful. Couldn't have asked for more, nothing too much trouble. Definitely would recommend this property.

The best place to be.........

Our extended family stayed here in June and we had the whole place to ourselves. Very large house well fittted out including a dishwasher 2 fridges and a great Barbeque. We took the owner Rod's advice and did the local walk over the top of the hill behind the property. It was such a lovely route and showed lots of places that we had not guessed were there. All the local restaurants were very special and not expensive. We went to Lucca and Florence but always couldn't wait to get back to the arched loggia to watch the lights come on in the town and to gaze at the river. We will definitely be back.

beautiful villa in gorgeous location

We would highly recommend this villa - we had a fantastic holiday and the local scenery is spectacular. The English-speaking owners, who live onsite, could not have been more helpful and accommodating. The only negative is that it is unsuitable for anyone with mobility problems - there are a lot of steps up to the property and also within the building itself, but there is an advisory on this in the property listing.

Stunning

Stayed here with friends and hired the villa for a week. It's a stunning location and burnt a few calories climbing the steps to the villa but worth it for the stunning views from the loggia. The rooms are huge and spacious and bathrooms are lovely. Was a great place to stay and only a short walk from the town. We were here for a friends wedding and so glad we hired ths villa as gave us flexibility and comfort. The owners communicated excellently and gave a lovely welcome pack. Would not hesitate to return and recommend to others. Thank you so much.

Heaven in Northern Tuscany

How do you start when reviewing Villa Rosalena? Do you extol the virtues of the accomodation or do you start with the great welcome from hosts Rod and Caroline. We hired the top floor of the Villa Rosalena equating to 4 bedrooms in August 2011. A recently built kitchenette means that the self catering experience can be enjoyed with all mod cons provided! In short, everything that the traveller can think of is on site, from a comfy loggia with soft seating and outside table (we never used the inside dining room ourselves) to a lounge area with SKY television (you can get English language for those of us less up to speed with the Italian language very easily), Wii, DVD's books etc. The small decking area was fine for us to lie out in the baking heat (although the area is hilly, the sun hits the terrace from 9.30 to 5.30 at the moment and reached an abnormally high 42C in our first week) and a small plunge pool was welcoming if it got too hot (for those wanting an olympic size experience try Bagni's large public pool...we did'nt,,,but instead enjoyed a simple dip if we needed cooling down). Free Wifi was a big plus as we could check on trainItalias web site whilst lying in the sunshine and plan our next trip into Lucca or beyond. All the rooms were spacious with plenty of cupboard space and all were en-suite. The view from Chocolato (our room) was perfect with whisps of smoke drifting across the valley and town in the early morning, which we saw through green shuttered windows. We utilised the barbecue area twice and enjoyed the experience but, as many people had mentioned Caroline's cooking in previous reviews we had to sample an evening meal......In short the wow factor was achieved with ease! Tell her what you like and you'll experience a first class taste of Tuscany as well as friendly banter from Rod as he plays "mine host" making a "special" meal a truly family affair. Rod and Caroline quite simply are the perfect hosts and do their utmost to look after you in this little piece of Tuscan heaven. Although the steps up to the villa are, in truth, not for the faint hearted, Rod was always there to help with cases and the views from the loggia make up for the walk from the road below where we parked our car (a car would be a good suggestion if you want to get up into the more hilly villages or simply explore higher altitudes). Ask for advice and it's there, ask for a place to relax and enjoy Northern Tuscany..go no further!

Happy stay in Villa Rosalena

First want to announce that the owners are very nice & kind people. When we arrived at the vila in the late evening, the owner had all the patience to wait for us, and to show us the villa and everything around. We already knew we choosed the perfect place to stay when we saw the great property inside, the nice villa decor/ interior and the beauty outside the place. The villa was very clean and the most of all the rooms, included the bedrooms were very nice and lovely. Amazing place to stay for a holiday, especially for groups or families with children or couples with children. Location was perfect to make daytrips with own or public transport to Lucca, Pisa and Florence. The view was also amazing outside in Bagni Di Lucca, also the mountains. The facilities were also perfect. It was our first time here, but we enjoyed this vacation so much, that we decide to come back here very soon. We are very thankfull to the kind owner who takes very care of us and everything. The custumor service was great! We will recommend this property to all my friends and family or relatives. Our children enjoyed the delicious pizza from the neighbour pizzarestaurant and the swimmingpool outside the villa.This villa is for my information not very suitable for disabled travellers or people with a difficulty walking because of the long stairs up and down to the villa direction. We had a great time and a nice stay in Villa Rosalena. Thank you for your kindness and helpfulness.
