  Nice overall but could have been better

  There are many pros and cons to this property which is why I gave it an average rating. Starting with the pros....1) it's in a local village and gives you a feeling of being in Tuscany, 2) the villa is huge and has modern amenities, 3) the grounds are great, especially for the kids. The cons...1) the villa is freezing; the property manager didn't want to turn on the heater because it was 'too expensive' - considering how much the place costs for a week, I thought that was unacceptable, 2) the place isn't that convenient, if you want to go anywhere, without a car you are pretty dependent on the bus which doesn't run very often and 3) the villa was a little damp inside, like musty damp, but that could be because of the rain. One great benefit is Gabriella, a local woman that will come and make pizza for you at the villa, it was great!

  Unforgettable Experience

  "What a wonderful experience for our group of 10 at Villa Luciano! The Villa is huge and has absolutely every amenity for a fantastic stay. The rooms are huge and comfortable, kitchens well-equipped and the property is amazing...from the gorgeous and serene Italian gardens to the swimming pool which was so enjoyed by our group on warm, sunny days. The town of Londa is beautiful, with all the services needed for a great vacation, and the people warm and welcoming. While we visited many locations in Tuscany, we also enjoyed several days just hanging out at the Villa. How I miss the sound of the church bells ringing throughout the mountains! Sandra, the property manager, is a gem. She was so helpful in planning our stay and was always there when needed after we arrived. And Gabriella cooked us two wonderful meals and provided us with life-long memories (and some great cooking tips) during our day-long cooking class. She is the best! There is nothing negative to say about our experience at Villa Luciano. It will always be remembered as two of the best weeks of our lives."

  A Fantastic Experience

  Fifteen members of our family stayed in Villa Luciano for eight days in mid- April. Six kids under 10 and 9 adults including two grandparents. The Villa met all of our initial requirements and more- reachable in one day from California, rooms/beds for all with plenty of bathrooms, large common room (there were two), walk to cafe, restaurant nearby, pool. .The kids loved running and hiding in the lush grounds including the hedge maze. Some used the pool although it was quite cold. Though there is wifi at the house, kids were told "No screen time for a week". We played games and did puzzles, ate, relaxed and then went on a daily excursion either on foot, by car or by train. The jacuzzi got lots of use. We enjoyed being off the beaten tourist path and in a small, friendly Tuscan town. There are small, excellent wineries to visit, bus service to the next town for the train to Florence (who wants to drive in Florence), and many archaeological and historical sites in under an hour's drive. Only one bedroom was cold but warm clothes needed in April. The cost was more than reasonable for our group. Most of us have been to Italy, including Tuscany, at least 10 times and our stay at Villa Luciano ranks near the top.

  booked stay in May 2020 for family reunion

  I would not recommend that you book this place with HomeAway/Vibro or the owner. After paying over $3000 for a down payment, we needed to cancel because of the lockdown due to Covid 19 pandemic. Although the owner emailed me in Feb. that I shouldn't worry and that he would either fully refund or book another time for us, he later refused to do so. HomeAway/Vibro called and emailed him to request that he refund the full amount and that they would refund the service fee, he still refused. He was unwilling even to discuss it. Owners like him give HomeAway/Vibro a bad reputation.

  It was like coming back home!

  After three years, we had the good fortune to return to Villa Luciano in June, 2013. Everything was as we remembered and our group of 6 enjoyed all the Villa's amenities as well as everything the town of Londa has to offer. Once again, Sandra was always there when needed and Garbriella cooked two wonderful meals for our group. Staying at Villa Luciano is truly a unique Tuscan experience that should not be missed. We felt blessed to have the opportunity to come "back home" to the Villa and the lovely town of Londa.
