Hotel Villa Cheli

Nice hotel, great pool, very poor breakfast and most of the staff were grumpy. Not what you want on your holiday Dinner in the evening was over priced and chaotic

Beautiful place with beautiful views. Caution when booking your trip-ask if it will be in the "annex" or the main part of the Villa. No elevator in the annex & the halls are narrow and no pretty decor like in the main villa. No airflow in the halls. When entering at night, the lights are on a delayed sensor for entering. Management should know when a group is travelling together and booking rooms-put them all in the same building. Those in the group all paid the same rate. The main villa lobby and public areas were well decorated, cool and pleasant to be in. Breakfast was plentiful with fresh items. I would stay here again but just a caution on the differende in the buildings.

Everything was okay but they didn't allow us to stay in the pool on the checkout day so this is bad.

Amazing location. Such a pity that the service was not up to scratch. The rooms in the main villa itself looked fab, but we were stuck in what was probably a broom cupboard in the past in the annexe to the villa. Breakfast was very basic and nothing like we had elsewhere in Italy. Burnt bacon and grey scrambled egg that was actually inedible. Small selection of fruit, cheese and cold meats. Tasty pastries. Service round the pool was almost non existent. The owners are missing a goldmine there since they have a captive audience. . We just felt that they actually did not want us there. Such a pity since this villa has such potential.

The hotel is in a great spot, far enough away from Lucca to feel you're in the countryside, but still easy to get into town. There's a lovely Bar-Pasticceria a short walk away, and you can go for quite long walk in the grounds then up into the hills. Breakfast was very good. And the staff were helpful. They do have events at the hotel, but the rooms have good sound insulation, so I still slept very well.

What a charming place. I just loved it! It is a dream! Lots of green areas, parking is a plus, the place is ancient, but is very well kept! The outside is so charming. The room was like... going back in time! So charming! The room had air conditioning, and the bathroom is great, quite new. Staff is extremely friendly. We had dinner there one night and food is fantastic. Their Chianti wine is so good! And the best was when I was leaving and Signore Antonio spend some precious minutes chatting with me about the history of this place, which was just incredible to hear. The place has 800+ years, but it is very well maintained. This is a beautiful hotel! I could not enjoy the beautiful swiming pool because it is November and it is chilly, and so the pool was closed. But it is a beautiful swiming pool. This place is only 10 minutes from Lucca and around 20 minutes from Pisa.

I absolutely loved this hotel. Full of charm quirks, art, history and past grandeur. People were very welcoming and friendly, deluxe room in main villa was lovely and comfortable decorated in a traditional Italian Villa style in keeping with the historical Villa. Gorgeous views of the sweeping driveway and surrounding beautiful Countryside as requested. The bathroom may have been slightly dark but didn't bother us as it is an older style hotel. Good shower lovely shutters to keep out the light, not that there was any. Loved the big pool with it's lovely gardens and views very peaceful could hear nothing but crickets chirping. They booked dinner for us for that evening on arrival which was in the romantic softly lit Courtyard, very nice tried their wine very good would recommend. Breakfast was ok it is a 3 star hotel remember, plenty of pastries, bread, cheese ham etc the scrambled eggs maybe slightly over done for my taste . Juice could have been better but overall a lovely stay and they booked a private car transfer to Pisa for us too, the young driver was the most polite nicest smart friendly (handsome!) professional making it a really good experience, he also provided bottles of water and refreshing wipes. Only half hour to the airport and about 10/15 minutes ish by taxi to Lucca. Nice walks, Gelato place over the road, wine tasting in the hotel. Looks wonderful setting for weddings. Definitely recommend.

This hotel was amazing in every way possible ❤️

Hotel Villa Cheli was a delightful and charming find in Lucca. The unique character of the hotel made our stay memorable, and the staff were incredibly welcoming. We would absolutely choose to stay here again.
