Hotel Villa Cheli

Beautiful hotel in a beautiful setting. The staff was kind and helpful in every way. The restaurant is delicious, and the breakfast had many great options. The pool was luxurious. I especially enjoyed walking the trails and quiet lanes in the neighborhood—a heavenly, green Tuscany location. Glorious Tuscan hills to enjoy. Easy and fast to take the bus to Lucca. Highly recommended!

Beautiful location and building. Friendly staff. Great swimming pool. Good breakfast selection. We stayed for 5 nights in one of the 'dependencies', effectively a separate annex to the main house. Our accommodation comprised a small sitting room (which had sofa bed and a tiny fridge), the bedroom and an ensuite bathroom. The place was pretty dark with not much natural daylight. The double bed was comfortable and the bedroom a good size. The bathroom was ok but the shower was tiny and you could hardly take a shower without bumping into the sides or the tap. If you are a bigger person, you'd have a real problem taking a shower in that tiny cubicle. The bathroom itself was big enough to have a proper-sized shower. Honestly, for the price we were charged for the accommodation, we would have expected better facilities. The main house had a large dining area (including a nice outdoor section) but could do with a lounge/sitting area. (If there was one, we didn't see it). We ate at the restaurant on a few occasions. The waitress we usually saw was lovely (unfortunately we didn't get her name). The menu and food was mostly very good. However, the last dinner we had was on a Sunday evening and the chef (Marko) must have been off because my wife's seafood pasta (which I'd had previously and was very good) seemed to lack the seafood. We think whoever prepared it forgot to add the main ingredient! All in all, we did enjoy our stay, but for the price we paid (on average 269 euro per night), the overall accommodation could have been better.

Stayed in the the Junior suit with a balcony and beautiful view. The staff is so friendly and helpful like a big family! Typical Italian rustic style but very charming hotel. Lucca only about 8 minutes away by car. Will come back again! Breakfasts are the same every day which is a bit boring . We would like to have more options like a fruit salad / soft fruit and tomatoes and eggs to choose from. Other than that - lovely place to stay. Thank you all for looking after us . Barbara and Mark

Our stay here was perfect. Kind and welcoming staff, excellent food and service and a beautiful, spacious room. We stayed here for Christmas with our two young children, who were made to feel very welcome and they enjoyed the garden and space around the villa to play in. We will certainly be back in the summer months to enjoy the swimming pool and eat outside on the terraces. I would highly recommend this hotel. Thank you.

We loved this very old charming hotel. The staff was very welcoming and wanted to please. Dinner was excellent, and the house wine, Chianti, was from the winery next door. The grounds are lovely, and their large swimming pool looked inviting. The room was clean and comfortable.

Great experience! Location from lucca ideal and the dinner at restaurant lovely. Got a room with terrace.

Lovely villa hotel with wonderful food and staff. Halfway between Pisa and Lucca. The pool and grounds were a delight. Great place to recover from a long flight from the US.

Stayed for 5 days. Super service, very friendly staff. Cleaning very good. Dinner menu ok, but no lunch service.
