Our Opinion
Villa Altomonte 12 is the ideal place for Tuscan landscape lovers (especially the hilly countryside of Lucca, with its sumptuous residences) and sea lovers (as the Versilia coast is only 40 km away).
The interior design is rustic and cozy, characterized by antique furniture and typical country house furnishings. Unfortunately and due to the big walls of the house, the wi-fi network works only well in the internet point room (upper floor).
