Villa Dondolino, a Stylish Farmhouse with Private Pool close to Lucca and the Beach
Savor dreamy, unforgettable days among the romantic gardens and views of Villa Dondolino, relax on elegant loungers in the olive grove and bathing in the swimming pool. In the afternoon, make your own grillade and relish it alfresco. Then sip digestivi on the veranda.
The villa's interior includes multiple living salons with beautiful period furnishings and paint finishes. Prepare delicious Italian meals in the fully equipped kitchen, featuring modern appliances and a lovely veranda with breakfast table, and gather in the gorgeous formal dining rooms for festive feasts.
Glorious walks abound from your front door leading to hilltop views of high mountain ranges and glimpses of the glistening Mediterranean. Explore nearby ancient churches and the well-preserved medieval hamlets around, once a resting point for weary pilgrims travelling the Via Francigena, the famous pilgrim route that connected Northern Europe to Rome and then on to the Holy Land.
Villa Dondolino enjoys an ideal location on the surrounding hills A 15 mins drive brings you to Lucca—a medieval gem of a town famed for its fortified city walls, historic architecture and monuments as well of course for its wine production. Its narrow streets and splendid squares are filled with intriguing shops, enticing cafes and great restaurants. Take a bicycle ride on the battlements or set aside a few hours to tour a local vineyard and taste your way to a new favourite wine. On a day trip away from your rural retreat, stroll along the sandy beaches or take a swim in the warm waters on the bustling Versillian Riviera just 25 mins away; it’s a unique Italian seaside experience with bathing establishments stretching for miles along the sandy shores from vibrant Viareggio to sophisticated Forte dei Marmi. Florence, Pisa, Siena, Volterra, San Gimignano, Montecatini Terme, the fishing villages of the Cinque Terre, the spectacular mountains of the Garfagnana and many other highlights are all within easy reach.

Beautiful villa, a lot of space inside and outside. Having conditioners in every room was a huge plus during our stay as the weather was very hot. Pool was a great addition and all areas around it provided spaces for relaxing and entertainment. Communication with the host was very easy and they were very responsive. Definitely will consider our stay there in the future

Thank you for the stay!
We had a great stay with 6 people at Villa Donolino. The place is exactly as advertised and the communication with Elena was very pleasant. I would advise to rent a car if you want to visit some villages in the neighbourhood. The pool is nice, surroundings are quite.

Perfect place for explore Tuscany
Stayed there as a family and it was the perfect hub to explore the surroundings of Tuscany. Not far from Florence, Pisa and Cinque Terre - beautiful views and peaceful at night. The house itself was in superb condition and the host was responsive and helpful.

Alles insgesamt sehr gut insbesondere der Zustand des Hauses und die saubere Gartenanlage mit Pool
Das Klima ist in Querce deutlich angehemer als in Pisa oder Lucca
Einzig die Auffahrt zu Anlage Dondolinio ist doch sehr abenteuerlich und beschwerlich, aber dafür hat man das angenehmere Klima !

Everything we’d dreamed it would be
Everything we’d dreamed it would be – peace and quiet, idyllic surroundings and breathtaking views. Thank you very much for a fantastic week at Dondolino. It’s a wonderful building in a great setting. You are very lucky people to have it, and we count ourselves fortunate to have been able to make use of it. Every room was beautiful.

The House Had everything you need
We enjoyed the stay very much. The house had everything that is important for a nice vacation. Especially a lot of space, a large garden with pool, sunbeds, a large kitchen, barbecue. We have lacked nothing. The price is high but you get a lot for it. We also liked the location, you can make many trips in the area (Lucca, wineries, to the beach...). Highly recommended.

complimenten!
Wat een prachtig huis met zwembad en wat een mooie plek!
Wij hebben met z'n zessen een heerlijke tijd gehad hier. Eten op het terras, zwemmen tot s'avonds laat in een verlicht zwembad en de auto's op eigen terrein.
prachtige kamers boven en alles zo mooi verzorgd en schoon....
Kan het iedereen aanraden want het is de prijs echt waard.
enige verbeterpunt kan zijn dat de bedden wat minder zijn voor een huis op dit niveau.

The villa was great and just as described!
The villa was up in the hills, so the location was remote, but that was only a positive thing for us for more privacy. No problem to get there by car. The area and the local neighbours that we met were lovely. The weather up in the hills was a few degrees lower than e.g. in Lucca, but this was also a positive thing for us - it was warm enough to swim etc. in the middle of September.
The floor plan of the villa worked nicely also for two families with kids.
There was a good variety of kitchen utensils for cooking.

So much more than a home away from away from home
The description fairly describes the property and opportunities it offers but how you fall in love with this place when you visit is a very personal thing. The elements, the sounds, aromas light and feel of the air around Dondalino is unique in our experience. It's setting brings drama of sunsets and sunrises, breezes and zephyrs that keep a freshness when elsewhere the atmosphere is stuffy and the light in the gardens and around the pool and the house is very special in the low hillside air. Our hosts were brilliant and the agency helped make our month long summer stay with family very special. Definitely hope to visit again
The property caters for 8 and it would be useful to be able to have enough equipment to covers two meals for everyone.
It would be beneficial for the agency to offer a mid-stay clean. The owners offer incredible support to guests

We recently stayed at Villa Donaldino and overall had a very enjoyable holiday. The villa itself was clean and spacious, with large, well-appointed bedrooms and spotless, functional bathrooms. The gardens were lovely, featuring olive trees and shaded areas perfect for relaxing, and the pool was excellent—easy to keep clean despite a few insects.However, future guests should be aware that the villa sits at the top of a very long, winding, and quite narrow road, taking around eight minutes to climb by car. A car is absolutely essential, as there are no shops or restaurants within walking distance, and every outing requires navigating this road.During our stay, there were several mornings disturbed by local neighbours using garden trimmers and other motorised tools, which we did have to complain about. The villa has a recycling system, but the lack of sufficient bin bags led to organic waste odours between collections.The outdoor dining table, although lovely, doesn’t comfortably seat eight as advertised—the positioning of the legs makes it awkward for more than six. While the bedrooms were spacious, the bedding and pillows weren’t of the highest quality. The kitchen was a particular disappointment: poorly organised and equipped with low-quality utensils and cutlery, which felt surprising given the premium price of the villa.That said, Villa Donaldino is well located for visiting Lucca, which is about a 20-minute drive away and was a highlight of our trip
