We have stayed several times at Le Villi Bed and Breakfast and that in itself is a clear recommendation.
We like the hostesses way with all the guests, to make them feel welcome.  We like the traditional Tuscany furnishings, nothing from Ikea in sight.
Our favourite time to visit is in June and July.  That is when the hostess Laura cooks dinner on four nights of the week.  A treat not to be missed. Dietary requirements and dislikes are even taken into account if you just let her know beforehand.  I'm sure the spaghetti vongole is surperb but not for me.  I got something else instead and was very happy.  People seem to stay there for three main reasons.  Some like to stay close to the opera on the lake,  You can walk there or take the bikes that Laura has, free of charge.  Others use it as a base from which to visit Pisa/Lucca/Viareggio and the surroundings.  The majourity are there though for the beach.  Like us.  Energetic ones use Lauras bicycles to ride to the beach.  We prefer to use our rental car.

I never have any hesitation recommending Le Villi to our friends.

We keep coming back.

Le Villi has a special atmosphere and a unique feel to it.  We felt relaxed from the moment we arrived.  The house is so beautiful.  We had a lovely room with a pleasant terrace where we could enjoy a bottle of wine in the evening.  It was a great bonus having dinner included Monday-Thursday nights.  The food was always lovely.  I enjoyed the cappucino at breakfast time and there was always some nice cake.
Le Villi wouldn't be Le Villi without Laura - the most excellent hostess.  She was always so pleasant and helpful and gave us so many recommendations and so much advice about how to get to places.  We can definitely recommend Le Villi and would love to come back.
There is also so much to see and do near Le Villi.  Nice restaurants by the lake and do go into the Puccini museum too.  Most people will want to go to the beach at La Lecciona of course.  We visited some beautiful places too: Cinque Terre, Pietrasanta, San Gimignano, Montecatini, Lucca, Pisa, Florence, Siena, Monteriggioni - so many!  You will need a car of course but the trains are good and reasonably priced too.  
Thank you Laura for a wonderful time!

Wonderful stay

My husband and I just returned from an amazing six weeks of travel in Italy, three of which were spent in Torre del Lago Puccini at B&B Le Villi. We would return in a heartbeat. You should absolutely book a stay at Le Villi, and here are some things you should know:

The Location: The B&B is about 3 km from the beach scene of Torre del Lago (about 4 km from the gay epicenter that is Mamamia). While we were initially concerned that this was a bit far, it turned out to be quite nice that, once we returned after a day at the beach, we were sufficiently removed from the commotion of the beach. The B&B is tucked into a relatively quiet residential neighborhood very near Villa Puccini and Lago di Massaciuccoli. The location is also ideal for easy access to the SS-1 and to the Autostrada, which is nice because Torre del Lago is nicely situated for many day trips to destinations like Pisa, Lucca, La Spezia/Cinque Terre, and the wonderful “official” nudist beaches of San Vicenzo (about an hour south). Our host, Laura, provided bicycles to guests for getting to the beach, but (at least during the heat and crowded streets of the month of July when we visited) we, personally, found it preferable to retain a rental car to get to the many nearby sights and destinations, and to have some air-conditioned comfort to-and-from the beach. There was free car parking, by the way, just a block from the house under the shade of bridge overpass.

The House: B&B Le Villi is strikingly beautiful from the moment you enter the gates from the street. The historic home has so much charm in-and-of-itself, and is further augmented by the lovely furnishings, the artwork, the lush garden, the chirping parrots, and the home’s warm host, Laura. Our room was more than ample for a 3-week stay, with the only “quirk” being that the private bathroom for our room was just outside of our room and down the hall. This was not a big deal to us, and we quickly felt comfortable making our way to and from the bathroom wrapped in a towel, or in just a pair of shorts—knowing that Laura or the other male guests whose stay coincided with ours certainly would not have been offended. Though most places in Italy aren’t air conditioned in the hot and humid summertime (including the common areas of Le Villi), we were very relieved that our guest room was perfectly air-conditioned with controls we could set to our comfort level. The daily housekeeping in our room, and the very reliable, fast, and free internet service were also very nice perks.

The Food: We were absolutely reveling in the fact that Laura prepares dinner for her guests Monday through Thursday nights (at least during the month of our visit). The traditional primo (pasta) and secondo (meat) courses were remarkably delicious each and every night—and I don’t recall an item ever being repeated. Wine and homemade limoncello complemented every meal. We (and many of the other guests) would also contribute bottles of wine to the various evenings. Dinner at the B&B became an especially appreciated detail because of the added social aspect of spending the evening with fun and interesting men from around the world, and because the weeknight hours kept by area restaurants were somewhat unpredictable and unreliable. Breakfast at Le Villi was also very good each morning—featuring a spread of sliced meats, cheeses, baked goods, fruit, yogurt, juices, and, of course, the coffee of your choice prepared expertly by Laura.

The Unexpected: The unexpected details we encountered over our three-week stay were what cemented Le Villi in our minds as among the best places we’ve ever stayed in our world travels, and is what would have us happily return again and again. 1) The fact that almost every one of the guests whose stay coincided with ours had not only been there once before, but many times previously; 2) Laura hosted two “festas” during our stay—a Saturday night event for all guests that features a delicious spread of aperitif items enough to be that evening’s meal, Laura’s made-to-order cocktails, music, and an evening of fun conversation with the new friends we had met in the house. Typically, the group of us would continue the spirit of the night after the festa by making our way to Mamamia, and stay out until the wee hours dancing sweatily in the street adjacent MamaBeach; 3) On several Sunday evenings during our stay, Laura invited all guests in the house to a group dinner at a local restaurant (with the total bill divided among each of us who attends). We were able to join the group two times for Sunday dinner, and immensely enjoyed both occasions. Again, the camaraderie that Laura facilitates between her guests is extraordinary, and every opportunity to get together as a group (especially over food and wine) becomes memorable.

In summary, Le Villi, and her host, Laura, made our extraordinary Italian vacation even more extraordinary. We received tremendous value for our money (even more than expected). The location was ideal for the beach, and for much more exploration in the region. We made good friends from across the globe. Most importantly, we will look forward to returning.

It's much more than a B&B.

From the moment we arrived Laura the host made us very welcome and was a wonderful host. Our room was lovely with very comfortable bed, antique furniture ( very Italian),own bathroom and a great sun terrace. Very clean home to stay in. We had use of bikes to cycle to the beach free of charge. Evening aperitif and nibbles with other visitors. Our bed was made every day with clean sheets and fresh towels. Close to the lake and close to lovely friendly restaurants. Nice people staying there and very friendly. We would recommend this to friends. If your wanting an escape this is a great place to chill. Gay beach fantastic and well organised for beds, which you can book. Water was lovely to swim in. This is a real chill out place to visit. Great place and romantic. We will be back again. Missing it already. Thank you Laura x

What a lovely and friendly place to stay with great surroundings

We stayed for three nights and we really enjoyed Laura's hospitality. Great also to have breakfast at a big table with the other guests. It makes everyone talk. We were first afraid the close by superstrada would be noise, but that was not be concerned about. As you can lend a bicycle, the distance to the beach is alright. If you love opera and want to go to the Festival. The arena is within walking distance.
