Big Private Garden, AC, Swimming Pool, Hot Tub, Huge Play Area, & Great Views

Casa Mennone is a magnificent holiday villa in an elevated, quiet, rural location near Lucca, Tuscany, with spectacular views across the plain and sun from dawn to dusk.

For centuries the farmers who lived here grew corn, grapes and olives on the surrounding land, for local aristocratic families.

The expansive garden has a circular saltwater pool, sun loungers, large children’s play area, ample shade, spa hot tub, barbecue and wood fired pizza oven.

The house is thoughtfully decorated, comfortably furnished and well equipped. Quiet air conditioning in every room, fast Wi-Fi, refrigerator with ice-maker, coffee machine, bar and a veranda for alfresco dining.

Laid out to accommodate large family groups, there’s plenty of space to socialise and many quiet areas to relax, read or play games.

Dating to circa 1600 the original, traditional farmhouse has been extended over the years. Our family carefully restored it and has let it as a holiday home since 1987. We continue making Villa Mennone even more sustainable. Recent eco-friendly upgrades include installing a low energy air conditioning system, solar panels for hot water and converting the swimming pool to saltwater.

Our family continues to oversee every aspect of our guests’ stay to ensure they have the best experience and most relaxing holiday possible.

Perfect for hosting extended groups of family and friends in maximum comfort, in a traditional Tuscan setting.

Villa Mennone is a truly memorable destination for your next holiday.

Relaxing stay with gorgeous surroundings
The stay was excellent and a great retreat for our family! Mario’s communication & hospitality was excellent & the villa was very clean & even more beautiful than the photos. We had 4 generations of family and everyone enjoyed the experience. We meant to do more sightseeing, but frankly everyone wanted more time just being together as a family. The views were amazing & both the pool & hot tub were enjoyed. The family even enjoyed a competition of ping pong. One of everyone’s highlights was when local Chefs came & cooked an unbelievable 3 course dinner with appetizers & deserts - we highly recommend. We are very thankful to Mario for sharing their place so we could build many happy family memories.

Beautiful property, wonderful location, great facilities and a brilliant time!
We had a wonderful time at Casa Mennone - there were 14 of us and plenty of room and activities for all. Mario did a fantastic pizza night and we had Rossana cook for us on another couple of nights - she was great and well worth considering. The pool is lovely and the view is one to enjoy - bring binoculars! Mario was available whenever we had questions and this is very much a property to be recommended if you have a large party. Many thanks to all the Ciambelli Family for making us feel welcome.

Incredible place incredible location incredible views and incredible hosts.
17 family members stayed for a week as it was my mother’s 80th birthday and we had an unbelievable experience. The house is laid out perfectly. The bedrooms were charming and the bathrooms were clean spacious and updated. Mario responded immediately to the smallest requests. The pool and hot tub were pristine and used everyday. The view is breathtaking during the day and at night and the setting is pure Tuscany. The Ciambelli Family are incredible people and we’re so gracious. I truly can’t say enough about this place. It was a perfect home away from home that we used to access hill towns to the south and coastal towns to the north as well as Florence and Lucca. I’ll be back and maybe it will have to be during olive season in November as the Family produces upwards of 1500 bottles of olive oil. If it’s available rent this place and make incredible memories in Tuscany. Grazie to the Ciambelli Family

The house was very clean and had a beautiful view and pool. Great outdoor area.
We had a good stay at Casa Mennone. The house was clean and had a beautiful view. We were a little disappointed about the lack of contact with the hosts apart from the initial brief run through. We would have loved more information on places to visit and things to do in the area in order to get the most out of our visit to Capannori. Thankfully past reviews mentioned a few things, otherwise we wouldn’t have known about the pizza dough at the bakery etc. Great WiFi.

Beautiful place with amazing views and a great host.
We really enjoyed our stay at Loretta and Mario's house. They were always reachable and helped with all questions and requests. The house has everything you need and you feel right at home. The best part of course is the garden with the pool and the gorgeous views. We were a large group and had enough space to hang out throughout the day. Thanks to Mario for the great stay and we are sure we will be coming back soon.

The Villa was absolutely beautiful , very clean and everything there you could want. The people were wonderful and really made you feel at home. Nothing was to much trouble. My husband and I took the family there to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary and we all said that we definitely will be going back. I would highly recommend this villa and family to anyone who wants a fabulous holiday.
