This was a beautiful property situated between Pisa and Lucca. It’s an older hotel but all of the amenities including air conditioning were good. Amazing pool area and loungers and you can run down to the lobby to get drinks and other snacks. We had a family room which had an upstairs with a king bed and downstairs there were two twin beds for the kids. Lots of good food options near by. Only negative was that the breakfast provided by the hotel wasn’t great in terms of quality or quantity of options available. They seemed to run out of things regularly and not be replaced.

Pretty place, Stefania went above and beyond to help us. Showers were too too small not even to move around and use hand held shower. Otherwise breakfast was superb and property was lovely, we would have enjoyed more if we had stayed longer. Rooms could have accommodated more than three and we could have saved money. Stefani’s solved our transportation problems

Spot on in Lucca
During a 3 week road trip from London to Italy (& back) we’ve taken in quite a few hotels at various price brackets.
For value & friendly service this hotel ranks highly.
The pool is big enough so that even if there are families with young children in it, other adults can still enjoy a dip.
All members of staff were very helpful & friendly.
A beautiful spot for dinner at the top of the tree lined drive.

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

Villa Cheli was beautiful, we were sorry when we had to leave. We stayed 4 nights as part of a larger holiday and wish we'd had longer. The pool is a great size and there was never more than a few people around it. There was a good mix of people, adults and kids and lots of nationalities. The food in the restaurant was very high quality and buffet breakfast had loads of choices. The room was immaculate. It wasn't fancy, but that's not what we were expecting anyway. Nicely decorated and very clean. The staff were friendly and helped with booking taxis when we needed. There is a bus stop right at the end of the drive which is great - only 1.50 for a ticket into Lucca! And you have to visit Lucca - one of the best towns in Italy we've been to. We will definitely go back here.

Great potential!
Potentially this is a lovely hotel in a great position between Lucca and Pisa. However, several things spoil the overall charm. The lack of staff is apparent with the reception staff doing most jobs. We didn't see anyone looking after the breakfast tables. The dining room itself is very unappealing. There is no bar area to sit and enjoy a drink. We had cold nights so outside was not an option in the evening. Just as well it was cool as there was no obvious air conditioning. The bedrooms and beds were large, but the bed was too hard and uncomfortable. Worst was the incessantly barking dogs behind the property that kept us awake. The pool area looked lovely but even in September the water was too cold for swimming.

Hotel correcto sin más.
La piscina es su mayor atractivo pero carece de servicio de bar.
Los desayunos son correctos pero la experiencia se arruina con el uso y recogida por parte del huesped de las bandejas (al mas puro estilo de restaurantes fastfood).
El servicio es amable pero el explicar la normativa del hotel junto a los diferentes carteles informativos que te recuerdan, por ejemplo, que si haces el check out fuera de tiempo debes pagar un dia extra (los hay en el ascensor y habitaciones) te hacen sentir bastante incomodo.
Si buscas ubicacion y piscina es una buena opcion.
Si buscas servicio deberias reservar otro hotel.
