Fantastic house in a great location!

We stayed at Al Bastini for one week and it was without doubt the best week of our holiday. We hardly left the house since it had everything we needed, including a beautiful garden and spacious pool area. If you do want to go on an excursion, the charming village of Lucca is only a ten minute drive away and you can reach Pisa and the sea with an hour's car drive. Overall, what makes Al Bastini exceptional is the friendly and professional service provided by Les. He helped us with everything we needed and made sure our stay was truly great.

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 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.

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.

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!

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!

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.

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!

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.

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 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.

Overall fantastic

Not much to add to the other great reviews! Place and location is amazing so long as you don’t mind a hilly curvy drive - and I happen to. My one qualm, and it did make a significant difference during our 2 week stay, is the mattress quality. 2-3 of the upstairs mattresses are decent, however the downstairs beds have mattresses to be ashamed of. You can literally feel individual springs through them causing pressure points uncomfortable sleep throughout the night.

Property has BEDBUGS. Flippant response from owner.

We came home with BEDBUGS and the owner was the most concerned with my review. I woke up one morning in this villa with bites all over me. Two others with us had bites too. I went to my dermatologist the very next day after our return. She thought they were bedbug bites. I called an exterminator and scheduled an inspection. I texted the property manager and she said they must be mosquito bites. She said she had an inspection done and there were no bedbugs. I came to find out that her inspection was done by the cleaning staff! They are not trained professionals and don't know what to look for. They come out at night to feed and then they go into hiding places. Some people show the bite marks and other people show no signs at all AND it can take up to ten days for the bites to even show up on your skin. I was so lucky to have such a severe reaction as that prompted me to go to the doctor and then call the exterminator. The exterminator came and we did have bedbugs. I had to pack up my entire house contents into black bags, seal them with duct tape and put them in my backyard in the high heat so any bedbugs that may be on my things would die as they do in high temperatures. On the day of treatment, we had to leave the house and after they finished treatment, we had to wait four hours before we could return home. We were having a heatwave in Atlanta and the temperature got up to 99 degrees that day and my cat had to be locked outside in the backyard for the whole day. I now have to wait a couple of weeks for them to come back and do another inspection to make sure they got them all before I bring all of my stuff back inside and unpack. I told this to the house manager and she said that they disinfect the bedding/mattress. I received an email from the property owner and he reiterated that my bites are from mosquitos. He offered me 500 euros to leave a positive review. Their lack of concern was shocking. I implored him to have the house inspected by an exterminator. I told him my main concern was future guests taking them home with them as we did. He seemed more interested in why the exterminators were going to such lengths and that in the Uk, exterminators don't put you through that. His flippancy was overwhelming. He started each email out with "without prejudice" to protect himself. I have no interest in suing or in his offer of 500 euros. I simply wanted the problem at the villa resolved. I have no idea if they are taking the proper steps.

Mamma mia!

Mamma mia! What a fantastic Tuscan gem. A glorious villa nestled within a gorgeous, unspoilt Tuscan landscape. Beautifully and sympathetically furnished, with everything needed to live la dolce vita, from a state-of-the-art swimming pool to an epic pizza oven and grill - and so very much more besides. Everything worked - and one got the sense that if something didn’t, the highly organised and attentive house management team would engage and resolve, rapido! The support staff were unobtrusive, obliging and human. We had an exquisite dinner cooked one evening by one of the local cooks recommended by the villa. We’d never been to Lucca before - but what a destination in it’s own right - as well as a marvellous base for other Tuscan forays. ‘Oh, to be in Italy - and specifically Lucca - now that May’s there’ [sic, apologies to Robert Browning]. Al Bastini is an authentic Tuscan holiday delight - with all boxes fully ticked for an immersive worry-free holiday. In fact our only complaint was that our time was over far too quickly. Oh but the views - those views were to sigh for. La dolce vita, on steroids. Grazie mille.

Perfect autumn break

Wow, what a location, the views from Al Bastini were mesmerising, making it very difficult to tear ourselves away from the terrace and the coffee machine! The heated pool was the perfect temperature for early morning swims while the sun rose over the hills. Well equipped kitchen and great spaces for us all to cook eat and relax in comfort and style. Wonderful local restaurants on our doorstep and dozens of quality eateries in Lucca. We used local chefs Tamara and Morena on two separate evenings, as recommended by the owners. They were so friendly and cooked up a real Tuscan feast for us. We visited a fabulous beach only half an hour away with superb fish restaurants and glorious warm water for swimming in the October sunshine. We made a smart call to visit in October with less tourists than we expected but still warm and sunny... what could be better than that. Thoroughly recommend AB for an autumn Italian fix. We will be back.

Fantastic visit

Al Bastini has a wonderful setting with panoramic views from all parts of the terrace. It is a delight to sit or lounge on the terrace and take it all in. The lovely pool is conveniently located on the terrace and all is set up perfectly for outside relaxation. There is table tennis and snooker/pool/billiards for indoor entertainment and the covered loggia is ideal for outside dining in the evening. There is a great restaurant down in the village connected to the butchers for those liking a good walk to and from an excellent lunch and Lucca is only 20 minutes away by car with all of its charms. Florence, Pisa and the beach are all within easy drives so Al Bastini is a good location for Tuscan exploration We went early October and the weather was still warm and ideal for site seeing and relaxation, although a jumper at night might be required We had a lovely time at Al Bastini

Wonderful family holiday!

It was wonderful stay! The house is charming, comfortable, stunningly beautiful nestled on a hillside with breathtaking views. We all wished we could have stayed longer. Ask to have a private chef, Morena. She is just superb! Thank you so much for your hospitality!

Wunderschön!

Ein wunderschönes gepflegtes Anwesen, sowohl außen (sehr netter GĂ€rtner, der die Außenanlagen super in Schuss hĂ€lt > viele KrĂ€uter, die man nutzen kann! viele GrĂŒĂŸe ;)), als auch innen. Im oberen Stockwerk im Prinzip eine eigenstĂ€ndige Wohnung mit 3 Schlafzimmern fĂŒr 5 Personen und 2 BĂ€dern, plus Wohnzimmer, Esszimmer, KĂŒche und ĂŒberdachter Terrasse/Balkon mit großem Tisch und BĂ€nken> eine herrliche Aussicht!!! ...allerdings MĂŒcken-geplagt...aber das ist halt im Sommer so. Im unteren Stockwerk ebenfalls 3 Sz fĂŒr 5 Personen und 2 BĂ€der plus "Pianozimmer", Billardzimmer und im Außenbereich eine ĂŒberdachte Tischtennisplatte. Mehrere Terrassen mit unterschiedlicher Bestuhlung (fĂŒr jeden etwas dabei) und ein toller Pool mit genĂŒgend Liegen und Sonnenschirm. Die Hausverwalterin Tanya ist super nett, spricht fließend Englisch und erklĂ€rt bei Ankunft alles Wichtige. Sie steht auch wĂ€hrend des Urlaubs zur VerfĂŒgung und hat klasse Ideen und Angebote an AusflĂŒgen parat! Die Anfahrt an das Anwesen ist tatsĂ€chliche sportlich... steil und eng und sollte beim ersten befahren am besten bei Tag gemacht werden. Dann aber kein Problem mehr! Wir wĂŒrden jederzeit wieder kommen und sagen danke fĂŒr diesen entspannten und wundervollen Urlaub!
