We loved our stay at Al Bastini. The location was excellent. It gave us privacy within the hills of Italy but still was only 20 minutes to Lucca, 30 minutes to the beach and 5 minutes to a get a gelato. The pizza oven and grill were a definite plus with the pool being the absolute highlight for our group. There’s nothing we felt we were missing at our stay there.

We just returned from a wonderful week at Al Bastini. There were nine of us for a few nights and seven for the rest of our time there. The villa is beautiful and spacious with breathtaking views. The kitchen is a dream as it is very functional for a group and extremely well-equipped. Because we were coming early in the season we requested that the pool be heated. It was well worth the additional cost as we congregated in the pool area in the later afternoon and enjoyed swimming. We explored Lucca, and also went to a cooking class and wine tasting. Two evenings we enjoyed delicious multi course meals prepared at Al Bastini by a chef. I would recommend you trying both chefs because each experience was enjoyable and unique. There are many comments about the drive up to the villa. The first time you make the drive it’s hair raising and should be done in daylight. However you do become familiar with how to approach the turns as you gain experience with the drive up. Finally, communication was excellent and the management company was helpful. Our family and friends had a wonderful holiday and we would highly recommend staying at Al Bastini.

A wonderfully relaxing peaceful escape yet only a short drive into the historic walled city of Lucca, with it’s very good restaurants and abundance of things to see. We had amazing weather (29) for September so made excellent use of the beautiful pool. Tanya (villa manager) was incredibly helpful and organised a private chef (Fabrizio excellent) for an evening of absolutely delicious authentic Tuscan fare and our taxi on another evening into Lucca. Al Bastini was everything we’d hoped for and more!! Hoping to return one day!

Perfect holiday villa

We loved our stay at Al Bastini. The views are stunning and the pool is the perfect place to relax on a hot day. Rooms were comfortable and the snooker table was great fun! It is only a short drive to the attractive historic town of Lucca and in the heart of the Tuscan wine region so plenty to do when we wanted to leave the comfort of Al Bastini. A wonderful trip that we hope to repeat in the future!

We didn’t want to leave ...!

The house is charming, comfortable, with everything you could want for a perfect stay. The outside area is beautiful with a great pool and beautiful views. Our family of 10—3 generations—had plenty of space. The owner was welcoming and helpful sending lots of information about the Lucca area before our stay. Easy day trips from this location. The time went very quickly and we all had such a good time we were sorry we didn’t book a second week. You won’t be disappointed, the house is even better than it looks on HomeAway.

Spectacular spot

I have rented several properties for family gatherings through VRBO, but none has been as wonderful as Al Bastini. Everything about our week-long stay was perfect--the setting, the villa, the fabulous salt-water pool, the easy proximity to Lucca and surrounding towns and beaches, and the support from the property manager and the house manager, who helped us find chefs to cook for us and a boat trip to Cinque Terre. It is a very special place. Everyone loved it. Pat D. Washington, DC August 2022

Al Bastini

Family and friends gathered at Al Bastini to explore the Lucca region. The Villa was wonderfully appointed and very comfortable. The pool was a big hit with the grandkids and the outdoor wood fired BBQ was used multiple times throughout the week. The owners have a great collection of books that cover Tuscany and Italian cooking. I wish I could have stayed a month so I could sit and read and gaze over the spectacular views. The local hosts were very helpful and accessible. Highly recommended. A very comfortable Tuscan villa with a great kitchen and multiple outdoor areas to sit and relax and enjoy a moment of quiet with friends and family.

Fabulous holiday in the heart of Tuscany

A lovely, lovely house with so much space and amenities. Tremendous views particularly in the evening as the sun sets. We loved eating in the Loggia after early evening drinks outside with some late night snooker and swimming. It's very quiet for sleeping at nights and the kitchen is both beautiful and well thought through including 2 dishwashers! It's definitely worth making use of the local chefs. We were surprised how quick it was from Pisa airport and Lucca has a lot to offer with the walk around the walls a must and some fabulous restaurants. Pisa and Florence aren't too far for day visits. All in all a superb place to stay. It must be best in class.

Location, location, location

Our first trip to Tuscany and what a place to stay! The villa and location are outstanding in every sense. The view from the property is stunning: a classic Italian scene; but it is the quietness of the wooded valley that makes it a very special place. The pool is another striking feature- it is large and set in a beautiful position within the garden. The villa itself is stylish and comfortable. The newly refurbished kitchen is outstanding- with every appliance/gadget on hand for foodies wanting to cook for themselves or for visiting chefs. We had amazing meals cooked for us by Morena and Fabrizio- both highly recommended. Finally, the property's location close to the fascinating historic town of Lucca and only half an hour from the coast makes this villa a not-to-be missed destination!

Luxurious, peaceful retreat!

Located in tranquil woodland surroundings, this is an ideal destination for your holiday. Lucca is just a short drive away, offering numerous excellent dining options and plenty of attractions. Exploring the ancient city walls is a must-do activity, either walking or hiring a bicycle! Lucca, being the birthplace of Puccini, hosts various opera festivals, making it a paradise for music enthusiasts. Be sure to check out the host's recommendations for local village butchers, a restaurant, a winery, and an ice cream parlour. We enjoyed a delicious cordon bleu meal prepared by the Villa's highly recommended in-house chef, thanks to the well-equipped modern kitchen! The swimming pool offers a serene space for leisurely exercise and sunbathing, boasting stunning views of the lush valley. We eagerly anticipate our next visit to this Tuscan paradise!

This property is absolutely stunning! My family of 8 stayed for a week and enjoyed everything about this home. The main floor is set up perfectly for spending time together. We used the huge, well equipped kitchen to cook many of our own meals but we also enjoyed having 2 different chefs come to cook for us as well. One night we made pizzas in the outdoor pizza oven using fresh herbs from the garden. The views from the outdoor dining area were incredible!One of our favorite things about this property was the pool. It was the perfect temperature, well maintained and surrounded by beautiful landscaping. The gardener is amazing!The location of this property is terrific. We rented cars and could easily drive to grocery stores, restaurants, wineries and to explore the nearby city of Lucca. We also drove to the train station to take a train to Cinque Terre for the day.The staff was friendly, professional and made sure we had everything we needed. Check in was easy, taxis were arranged when needed, rental cars were delivered to the villa and communication was excellent. The handbook that was provided answered every question we had and was full of great suggestions about places to visit and things to do.All 8 of us loved this property. It had something for everyone and was so spacious. One week was not enough. I hope we can return someday!

One week is not long enough

We spent a week at Al Bastini and we wish we could have stayed longer. The location is perfect and the views are fabulous. The house had a great layout for our family of 4 along with 3 of our adult friends. We took daytrips from the house, but also enjoyed just staying at the house to swim or play ping pong. The kitchen is fantastic and through the management we booked chef Morena to prepare dinner for us one night. Morena and the food were so amazing, that we immediately asked her to come back the next night. Our only regret, was not booking Morena to prepare dinner every night. We did have an issue with the downstairs bedroom air conditioning not working, but management immediately responded to my message and had a technician out the next day to try and resolve the issue. A big thank you to Alex and Tanya for their help and great communication. I highly recommend staying at Al Bastini, and we definitely plan on going back.

Perfect holiday villa

Our Al Bastini stay was a dream. With awe-inspiring views, the villa’s expansive terraces became havens for relaxation. The rooms embody spacious elegance and local charm, blending modern comfort with countryside aesthetics. The newly renovated kitchen (with dual dishwashers and fridges) exceeded expectations for food enthusiasts like us. Outdoor BBQ and pizza oven experiences, courtesy of Chef Fabrizio, were absolute highlights. Thanks to gardener Thomas, the beautifully maintained garden's fresh produce added authenticity to our meals: the kids loved picking ripe tomatoes, fragrant herbs, and small zucchinis. The saltwater pool was the epitome of relaxation: we spent countless hours floating, reading, and enjoying the ambiance. Al Bastini's standout was great service: Alex, Iris, and Tanya ensured smooth reservations, check-in/out, and prompt assistance. Our stay was flawless. Seeking beauty, comfort, and tranquility? Al Bastini is your haven.

Amazing vacation in Tuscany!

We are a group of 10 friends who travel together often and planned a summer trip to Tuscany to celebrate some milestone birthdays. We spent quite some time researching homes before landing on Al Bastini for its incredible views, convenient location in Lucca, privacy, ample space, but most importantly air conditioning and swimming pool for August! The home and the vacation overall were pretty close to perfect. The house manager was an incredible help to us as we were asking questions about the villa, planning day trips, and renting cars. She emphasized what a perfect location Lucca is, and she was right! We were able to discover some of Lucca and also take day (or partial day) trips to Pisa, the Puccini Festival, Cinque Terre, Chianti, and the beach. Luckily we also had time at the house - to enjoy the pool, cook in the beautiful kitchen, have a private chef cook us dinner and another make pizza for us in the outdoor pizza oven. Our only complaint is that maybe we should have booked two weeks instead of one! Thank you Al Bastini, we hope to see you again soon!

Fabulous stay

What a fabulous week we had at Al Bastini. It is a beautiful, private and secluded property with incredible views and everything you could wish for in a holiday property. We have rented many holiday villas before and have often found that the interiors do not match the outside space in terms of style and quality - this is not the case at Al Bastini where everything is beautifully appointed. We felt instantly relaxed here. The villa is perfect for a family holiday with many areas inside and out where you can find your own space but also to come together for family meals. We loved the terraces and loggia and ate all of our meals outside. Whilst the weather wasn’t as kind to us as we’d hoped we still managed to fit in some time by the wonderful swimming pool which has great loungers and lots of space. We found it hard to leave the villa and its wonderfully peaceful surroundings in the day but when we did want to explore further afield the journey to Lucca takes only around 15 minutes by car. There is a small village closer to the villa which has a great little restaurant and a lovely ice-cream shop (also sells the most amazing cakes)!) We appreciated all the recommendations that we received prior to our stay for restaurants and places to visit - we tried many and were delighted by them all. We hope they we can return to Al Bastini in future and thoroughly recommend it for a fabulous holiday in Tuscany.

Al Bastini 2022

Have been holidaying around Lucca for 20 years plus and Al Bastini has never been matched in terms of favourite house for my family and I. Ideally situated 15 minutes from Lucca and shops but still only 40 minutes to Pisa airport, 50 minutes from the coast and an easy day outing to the Cinque Terre. The house sits on the side of a quiet valley with an unrivalled view over green hills and total peace. No road noise and hardly any lights can be seen in the evening While the bedrooms/bathrooms are comfortable (master suite in particular is great) and airconditioned and the snooker room, piano room luxury sitting room with full music and TV are all great to have, what really makes the house is all the many places to sit, read, eat and enjoy the sun and the view. The kitchen has everything you need for a keen cook and you can eat in the superb covered terrace off the kitchen with view overlooking the valley or outside by the BBQ/pizza oven (or even in the dining room!). The pool is close but set just the right distance form the house and has plenty of chairs and loungers . It also benefits from a new non chlorine saline filtering system that makes swimming very pleasant. Tanya the onsite manager was super efficient and Tomas the gardener helpful and pleasant.

La Dolce Vita!

We are so grateful to have celebrated our first wedding anniversary at Al Bastini, which offers a quintessential Tuscan experience that exceeded even our wildest expectations. Nestled into a wooded hillside, Al Bastini has the most breathtaking panoramic views which are both unspoilt and private. We were left speechless when first stepping onto the terrace, and we continued to be wowed each and everyday as the sky changed from blues, to pinks and reds in the evening and then became littered with stars in the night sky. Opening the shutters every morning to this view was a treat in itself. We opted to spend most of our time lazing by the private pool which provided the perfect relief from the late summer sunshine. There would be ample space for 10 to swim and sunbathe, so for just two of us it was a very special and secluded treat. Many evenings were spent on the terrace, or loggia, whiling away the hours watching the sunset with a glass of wine in hand. On occasion we made use of the beautifully crafted outdoor barbecue, and pizza oven. Al Bastini is well located, with local restaurants, gelaterias and supermarkets just a few minutes away by car. The beautiful medieval town of Lucca is 15 minutes away and was a daily destination for lunch, dinner or drinks. We fell in love with the town, with its cobbled streets, medieval walls and eclectic shops. We were reluctant to leave the serene surroundings of Bastini, but ventured by car to the hilltop town of San Gigmiano, Siena, and the Tuscan capital, Florence, by train from Lucca. All are well worth a visit, if you can drag yourself away from the house and pool! Bastini provides the perfect base for exploring. To complete our experience we enjoyed privately cooked dinners from two of the chefs available to hire via the property managers. Morena and Fabrizio treated us to the most impeccable service and exquisite cuisine, and to our favourite, tiramisu! On the rare occasion the weather was inclement, the indoor facilities of the house were more than sufficient entertainment. Whether watching the vast array of satellite TV channels on the comfy sofas in the living room or playing snooker/pool with a late night aperitif, we were not left wanting. Italian’s have a phrase, ‘la dolce vita’ which loosely translates to ‘the good life’ and, after the past two weeks stay at Bastini, we can fully appreciate and understand it’s meaning. Alla Prossima!
