Villa Catelli B&B

We received a warm welcome from Celeste even though we arrived much earlier than planned, having journeyed from Montecatani Terme via bus & taxi. Our room was on the first floor and was excellent in all respects. Initially I couldn’t get our A/C to work correctly but Valerio quickly came to our rescue, giving me the necessary “driving” instructions. It was fine thereafter. Celeste handed over pre-prepared maps to each of us, showing entry into Lucca, typical routes around and locations of favourite restaurants & gelateria indicated. It was a great help. Breakfasts were very good and tasty and we especially liked the scrambled egg…..for us a “must have” each morning. We thought the villa perfectly located, just 5 minutes outside the city walls. We also loved the outdoor garden area, finishing off each day sitting out there with a glass of red reviewing our day & planning the next …a lovely finish to each day. Helen and I also enjoyed our early morning strolls, and by turning right or following the canal away from Lucca quickly found other small communities - church, cafés & a restaurant. Given more time we may have eaten there one evening. At the end of our stay Celeste sorted our Trenitalia tickets to Pisa Aeroporto & printed them off for us – a brilliant service. We can’t speak highly enough of Villa Catelli, Celeste & Valerio & will definitely stay there again when returning to Lucca.
