The location and view were superb. The staff very supportive and friendly. They genuinely took an interest in us as their guests. The food was also very good, very traditional Italian dishes and we looked forward to every meal.

A magical villa located in the beautiful mountains. The place is so unique! we also had dinner there that was incredible, and having breakfast on the terrace while enjoying the views was perfect.

The only thing that I was a little concerned about was that the key to the rooms are the generic kind, so the rooms are not very secured.

Had an amazing stay! Such a beautiful place and wonderful staff!

Breakfast very good, (dinner less...) very helpful and friendly team ( and the dogs too...) Very clean.

The way up is not an eazy one.

Views were spectacular, Staff were friendly. Food was delicious, they do provide dinner, just have to notify them before 4pm. Small menu but delicious. The atmosphere was like home from home.

attention to detail! beautiful secluded hotel with views of Lucca

Very nice location, beautifull accommodation and very friendly and helpfull staff. Speaking also English and really trying to help with everything. Good breakfast and excellent home made dinners.

nothing, all was great

location

The food and the view is fantastic!

Excellent breakfast.

Bigger shower and access to bar or pre-dinner drinks.

BEAUTIFUL view, great atmosphere, very nice and welcoming staff. Delicious food, dinner was served until 20:30 which was very convient for us.

Quite a winding road, but the panoramic view from the hotel is well worth it.

This hotel is quite simply STUNNING! And the staff are an absolute delight. My bedroom was beautiful and my bathroom was the size of a small apartment! I went into a happy bubble for 24 hours and came out rejuvenated! Thank you, Solange and to everyone.

There was NOTHING I didn’t like. But if I had to be super critical…This hotel is so lovely it makes you not want to leave, so it would be even more heavenly if the food was just a little more sophisticated. And maybe some updated pool-side furniture and parasols would be nice.

Excellent food, best view, beautiful house and garden, feeling of family :)

Beds unfortunately uncomfortable

The location and view was spectacular, close distance to Lucca, yet quiet and secluded. The villa has been newly renovated with beautiful and spacious interior. The pool was wonderful and situated on the terrace below. The staff, though lean during Covid, was delightful. The young waiters who were being trained treated us like family.

Nothing, although the long winding road getting up to villa is not for the faint at heart. I would go back in a minute.

Location, Ambience.

All good

This place is beautiful, and the views are breathtaking! Everyone was so helpful and accommodating, and they even made us reservations for wine tasting. The meals were fantastic as well! We ate there every night. Relais Farinati was the highlight of our trip!

Nothing

Food, finish, and people all amazing. Loved the pool in the afternoon, for a quick dip to cool down. Liked the sun loungers with the hood to keep the sun out. Enjoyed the dogs. The view is amazing.

Offer an option for guests to use a washing machine on premises. Bathroom consumables a bit sparse though there was a single soap. Faint methane smell in bathroom, to be expected in some older houses, but scent sticks didn't conceal it properly.

great view

our car rental fell through as our fight was delayed so we got taxi .. you have to drive car to this property as the taxi far to lucca is 45 euros return as the meter starts in lucca and there’s 20 euros in when they arrive although no kids allowed the owners kids in pool very disquieting two simple bowls of pasta for lunch and one simple dinner was 125 euros won’t be back !

Gorgeous view, beautiful garden, very nice interiors.

View, Dinner, Breakfast

We absolutely loved our stay at Farinati. Warm and welcoming staff, delicious food (the best melanzane ever!), comfortable bed and amazing views. Will definitely come back!

The property was beautiful and full of character, as well as being very well kept.

Beautiful property in an outstanding location with views over the hills and valley towards Lucca. Breakfast was an excellent selection of hot food, natural yoghurt, juices, pastries, jam and bread - served on a wonderful terrace. The room had been updated based on other reviews, air conditioning was excellent, as was the bathroom - maybe just add a tray for toiletries/soap in the shower, small fridge, bed was a good size and comfortable. Swimming Pool in a lovely setting, about 13m long x 6m wide x 5ft deep. Beautiful gardens with lots of flowers, trees and little areas to sit and relax. Loved the family atmospehere and animals (3 dogs and 1 cat).

Possibly more choice at dinner, but to be fair when we asked for a fish dish that wasn't one of the 2 main options the staff were able to accomdate.

beautiful location, kind staff, great breakfast, well-kept garden, cute dogs and a nice little pool area with a lovely view. easy to reach Lucca and hiking sites (if you are used to driving on serpentines!) would recommend☺️
