The location is just ideal for people wanting to visit Lucca. The view from the house is stunning in all directions. The house met our expectations. We were two 50+ year olds, and two 80+ year olds, mothers and daughters. There are two kitchens, though we used just one, on the middle level. There is no bathroom on the main living level, which means to use one you have to go up a flight, or down a flight. The lower level is accessed only via the outside stairs. For safety reasons for the 80+ year olds, we used the walk-in shower on the ground level only, as the bathtub on the top level (with the 3 bedrooms) has a rounded bottom and didn't feel safe for the 80+ year olds, but this is Italy, so it's to be expected. Leandro was very helpful and any need we had he or the caretakers were there to help us. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. For us, the weather wasn't as cooperative (Oct 5-12) as we had rain several of the days. It was too cold to enjoy the beautiful outdoor setting (for swimming in the pool or eating outside). In between rain showers we walked all over Lucca, enjoying the varieties of Pecorino cheeses. A deli down the hill, Bandini, provided a couple of salami/meat and cheese trays, great bread and the wonderful apple cake for which Lucca is known.
We had a wonderful stay at this villa. The setting is ideal - very private but close to great restaurants and Lucca, and easy day trips to Florence and Pisa. The pool was lovely to come home to after a long day of sight seeing. The layout of the home is ideal, with the primary suite on the first floor and the additional living space separate on the top two floors, giving everybody lots of room.
Wonderful cozy house, just as displayed in the pictures. Great location that is both private for chill time (very spacious and relaxing yard, fantastic pool) and proximate to Lucca, wine tasting and other site seeing. Leandro kept in touch before, during, and just before leaving to make sure we had everything we needed and was super helpful. Highly recommended!
We stayed for one week and had a great time, easy access and great views.... home away from home... dinner in Luca and close to all the little towns in the region....great place to spend a week....
Highly recommended....
Our stay at Collina Verde was most relaxing and comfortable. The daytime and nighttime views were absolutely breathtaking and enjoyed by everyone, they are etched in our minds forever. We had a fantastic stay and created great memories.
Thank you Leandro

The property had all the amenities that we required and the location was great to venture out to Pisa, Lucca and the other places in the hills. The property is very private, views are great and just right for the the family to relax. One to return to over the coming years as there is plenty left to explore.
Fantastic holiday for two families. House is perfectly set out so that each family has their own space. The pool and garden area is a great place to relax after visits to Lucca, Pisa and the beaches. The owner Leandro was always on hand to give recommendations for restaurants, places to see and arranged for a chef to come in for a couple of evenings. We cannot recommend this place highly enough and will be returning next summer ! Thank you Leandro
What can I say, this house was fantastic. The trip was excellent from start to finish. The owner was very accommodating and provided excellent recommendations on good restaurants in the area. I genuinely felt I was experiencing the local life. Beside going out for dinner we also stayed at the house, the kitchen is fully equipped and there is also a BBQ to grill your own food.
The location was ideal, offering us the Tuscan tranquil life.
Philip did a great job showing up around the house whilst keeping the place comfortable for our stay.
I would absolutely recommend this house, if you are looking for a great experience in Tuscan hills.
Had a fantastic week in a lovely property. It is in an idyllic location with wonderful views of the surrounding countryside and hills. There was plenty of space for two families of four to have fun and relax. The gardens and location were so good that we only ventured into Lucca twice. The pool was in constant use. The property manager was very helpful and responsive to resolve a couple of minor questions. Local restaurant Duomo was superb and I would recommend booking for at least one meal there. Overall an excellent villa - we have stayed in many over the years and this was certainly the best.
We had a fabulous 2 weeks at the property. Exactly what we were looking for - from the location, pool, property and dealings with the owner and the property manager, Philip (who was fantastic). Highly recommend it!
The views from the villa are stunning. It is clean, well-run and the pool and gardens are perfect to relax in. We had a lovely week. There are lots of thoughtful touches and properly laundered sheets and towels.
HĂžj klasse - Dejlig villa, dejlige udearealer og skĂžn beliggenhed
En skÞn oase tÊt pÄ by og alligevel ugenert
Vi kan kun anbefale denne villa, hvor det er formÄet at bevare rustikke charme kombineret med klassiske mÞbler.
Udearealerne er i tre niveauer, og her rammer ikke mindst poolomrÄdet lige ind i bÄde bÞrnefamilien og til ren afslapning
We could not have been happier. It was more beautiful than the pictures on the website. Casa Collina Verde was perfectly located in the hills above Luca with stunning views and surrounded by olive trees and vineyards. The villa was extremely clean and the grounds well cared for. The pool was almost brand new. The property manager Philip was helpful courteous and went far and beyond our expectations. He organized a private chef to cook for us amongst several other favours. We have travelled extensively all over the world and this was one of our best trips. We will be back. John and Michelle.
A very well appointed house with wonderful garden and pool and simply stunning views.
A fantastic week at this wonderful home. House contains everything you need and the pool and garden with such wonderful views made us reluctant to leave. Many thanks
