Resort Dei Limoni  

In the Tuscan hills just outside Lucca, a five-minute drive from the historic center and near the Leaning Tower and city walls. This luxury 5-star villa hotel sits in San Lorenzo a Vaccoli, close to the International Academy of Italian Cuisine and local bathing spots.

Housed in an elegant 17th-century villa restored by a French officer who followed Elisa Bonaparte, the property still shows original woodwork, parquet and period decorations. Just 10 individually decorated suites feature Pierre Frey fabrics, precious period furniture and modern comforts like flat-screen TVs, minibars, safes and complimentary Wi‑Fi. The grounds are planted with centenary trees, a stream, lemon and citrus plants, plus a pool and a small patio for cocktails and quiet reading.

Outdoor swimming pool, garden and poolside bar, a cozy lobby fireplace and a patio for drinks and relaxation. Concierge, transfer and limo/town-car services are available, alongside laundry/dry cleaning and onsite car parking (charges may apply). Some rooms are wheelchair accessible.

Complimentary wireless internet throughout the property and luggage storage. Multilingual staff and transfer services make arrivals and departures seamless.

A dining room in a British-Victorian conservatory overlooks a semi-circular winter garden and serves authentic Tuscan cuisine. The hotel restaurant offers breakfast and dinner (buffet breakfast daily 7:30–9:30), plus a bar/lounge, coffee shop and limited-hour room service.
