The Villa Volpi offers a very relaxed environment and great dining in attached restaurant. Especially the view from the swimming pool is stunning. We had 5 very relaxed and joyfull nights. The hotel is a good base to make trips for Lucca, Pisa, Firenze or even the beaches north of Viareggio. The service can be percieved as a bit laid... more

I approached our stay at Hotel Villa Volpi with some trepidation due to the mixed reviews here on TA. I came away understanding completely all of the reviews, positive and negative. I think it is one's expectations that determines one's perceptions of the idiosyncracies of the place. First the setting is absolutely breathtaking and the buildings are beautiful. The pool,... more

My family just returned from a fabulous trip to Italy that concluded with 2 nights at Hotel Villa Volpi. In preparing to post this review, I was somewhat surprised to see so many negative comments. After arriving in Florence for an espected 6 night stay and finding our hotel only "so-so", we decided to drive to the country near Lucca... more

We have just retuned fom a wonderful two night stay at the Villa Volpip. We stayed in their villa which is close to the hotel. The hotel is in the most wonderful location and the villa had amazing, dreamlike views of the suounding hills and countryside. I notice that lots of people commented on the 'bad' service. The service is... more

I had pre-booked a room here at Villa Volpi before we had left England..............the price was reasonable at 100 euros. It could be difficult to find, but we found the drive pleasent and not much more than 20-30 minutes from Lucca . On our arrival the place seemed very sleepy, (this was 5-6pm), and there were no staff members around... more

We approached the hotel with a little trepidation having seen the somewhat ambivalent comments on tripadvisor. However it was obvious immediately there really didn't seem to be any common ground between many of the negative reviews we had read and the reality on the ground. The hotel was easy to find, with clear signposting all the way from the main... more

I booked the Villa Volpi for a wedding anniversary surprise for my wife. sadly it did not come up to expectations. The hotel itself is OK but for the price range (Euro 149 per night) needs a little decor and furniture upgrade. Our room was OK but small and overfurnished, the controls on the a/c unit were broken and it... more

Villa Volpi is all about potential. Potentially it is one of the prettiest places I have visited in Italy with fabulous views over Lucca and the rolling Tuscan countryside. Unfortunately, this view comes at a cost. The cost is having to stay at a cold, unfriendly, inhospitable B&B, where you are made feel like an intruder. No welcome, no "did... more

This hotel is about a 15 minute drive to Lucca. If you are squeemish about narrow mountain roads with no side railings, you'd be better off arriving there during the day. Note that their website mentions a shuttle from the train but there isn't one. You definitely need a car at the this hotel; don't be fooled by the "just... more
