My husband and I stayed at the AVM for one week recently. We found the staff both before and during our stay to be extremely helpful and courteous and they went out of their way to accommodate us. Firstly, the hotel looks exactly like it does in the pictures - it is a gorgeous set of buildings in a beautiful... more

We spent a fantastic 4 days at this hotel, would definitely recommend it for a relaxing get away. It is set in idyllic surroundings about 5 miles outside the lovely town of Lucca. Its a little out of the way so I would say that having a car is essential to stay here. As the other reviews say it is... more

Just returned from 5 nights stay in Villa Marta. The location was perfect only 5 klms outside Lucca and situated in the heart of the countryside. The Owners and well trained staff could not have been more helpful,nothing was too much trouble for any of them. My husband and i opted to have an in house Italian cookery class which... more

My partner and I just spent a week at the Villa Marta, and it was one of the nicest, best experiences we had during our 2 weeks in Italy. The hotel itself is great--very pretty, big, spacious rooms and bathrooms, and all very clean. The grounds are beautiful and the swimming pool was fantastic. But the real bonus was the... more

My wife and I stayed here for 4 nights in July 2008. The staff is extremely friendly and knowledgeable. Hotel is well situated near Lucca and the exterior is nice. Rooms are clean, well decorated and spacious but several are on the ground floor (which is not mentioned on the website): so we were obliged to close the curtains for... more

The Hotel is very good, the room air conditioned, bathroom and room were very clean while the staff were delightful. It is a quiet hotel, as other reviews here point... more

Having read all the reviews, I was slightly concerned it might not love up to the hype, but I was definitely proved wrong. We stayed here for 6 nights in July, and had a wonderful time - the room was lovely and the bathroom had a fab shower, the food was delicious and the staff really helpful. Relaxing round the... more

My husband and I just returned from our 3 nights stay in Lucca. We absolutely loved the Albergo Villa Marta! The staff was always very friendly and helpful. The interior is very elegant country style to the last detail but still cosy and welcoming. We had a wonderful deluxe room with a magnificent view of the hills and a large... more

We loved the Albergo Villa Marta. Lucca is the most charming town, and this hotel is the ideal accompaniment. You feel that you are out in the country, but it is a five minute drive to the walled city. The food is delicious, I am still dreaming about the antipasto platter on the dinner menu. That with a bottle of... more
