tres bien mais design des chambres à reprendre dans l'annexe.
Pros:

la beauté du lieu, le cadre et la piscine

Cons:

meme fermé la ventilation faisait beaucoup de bruit. La clim etait trop intermittente. La cabine de douche n'etait pas top!
Les chambres de l'annexe devraient refaite....la deco et la salle de bain doivent daté des années 60-70!

Une petite pépite
Pros:

Tout! Le cadre un peu suranné qui confère aux lieux un charme fou, le personnel tout bonnement adorable, gentil, souriant, le petit déjeuner très bien et le restaurant aussi, avec des conseils pour choisir le vin pour accompagner les plats, nous sommes partis avec une seule envie: y retourner !

Cons:

Rien!

Das Principessa ist alles in allem ein sehr angenehmer und erholsamer Aufenthaltsort.
Pros:

Das Hotel ist von einem Park umgeben. Es macht dadurch einen geradezu verwunschenen Eindruck. Wir empfanden die Tische im Garten, die Liegen im Park, den Pool mittendrin als sehr entspannend. Wie es sich für einen alten Palazzo gehört, gibt es große, hohe Räume, die mit weichen Polstermöbeln ausgestattet sind, in die man sich nach ermüdenden Besichtigungen gerne fallen lässt. Es gibt praktischerweise viel Parkraum für Autos im Park selber. Das Personal ist freundlich und entgegenkommend. Von einer Tour nach Carrara zurückkehrend, wollten wir um 16.00 h einen Tisch für das Abendessen buchen. Obwohl das Restaurant voll ausgebucht war, war dann schließlich eine Tischbuchung doch noch möglich. Das haben wir sehr geschätzt.

Cons:

Im Bad müssten die bräunlich/gelben Kalkkrusten um den Glasschutz herum ganz unbedingt mit einem entsprechenden Mittel entfernt werden.

Pros:

Belle ville bâtisse qui vous emmène dans un autre temps. Grands salons, grand escalier, très spacieux, beau jardin, super piscine. Ci et là il faudrait commencer à refaire certaines choses, du à l'âge de la villa

Pros:

La gentillesse et le professionnalisme du personnel, le cadre, le restaurant, la terrasse, le parking.

Cons:

La piscine fermait à 19h, ce qui est un peu tôt. Le petit déjeuner n'était pourvu que de produits industriels.

Knappt ok - Vill du ha mer prisvärt boende, leta någon annanstans, förslagsvis Villa Buonvisi!
Pros:

Närhet till Lucca

Cons:

Heltäckningsmattor, 10 euro för en öl vid poolen, 10 euro för att en 4-åring ska äta yoghurt till frukost. Trots att Booking säger att barn följer med utan kostnad så tillkom det en kostnad ändå.

Weekend con la famiglia da 10 e lode
Pros:

Bellissima location in mezzo al verde molto rilassante a 10 minuti di auto da Lucca. Interni stupendi e anche spazi esterni molto curati. Piscina piacevolissima. Colazione ottima e ampia scelta. Abbiamo anche pranzato bene. Consigliatissimo

Villa storica in un parco rilassante, con piscina tranquilla per staccare la testa dalla frenesia
Pros:

Camera superior ben oltre le aspettative con balcone in facciata e bagno molto ampio con doccia e vasca
Piscina rilassante in bel parco verde (anche se profondità minima 160cm, non da tutti)
Colazione abbondante
Ogni persona dello staff gentilissima

Cons:

Se proprio devo trovare un difetto il bar in piscina è poco presidiato, ma per il resto tutto ottimo
