Description
ALBERTA FARMHOUSE is a luxury villa in the heart of the rolling hills among the wineries and olive oil estates of Lucca. Although surrounded by Olive Groves and Vineyards, the villa is located in a 3.5 kms from the Walls of the town, the city centre of Lucca and the main shopping street of the town called VIA FILLUNGO.
Although completely restored, there remains much of the property’s traditional charm. The terracotta floors as you enter and the original furniture are a case in point.
ALBERTA FARMHOUSE is the perfect place to relax in the Tuscan countryside. Your peaceful surrounds are undulating hills dotted with cypress and olive trees and the vineyards are fringed by sun-drenched roses and plain trees. Tucked away among the natural splendour is Lucca, your closest town, known for its delicious pasta dishes, beautiful medieval streets and exquisite restaurants. ALBERTA FARMHOUSE is located in the hamlet of S. ALESSIO which offers a wide range of delicious restaurants and old shops such as butchers, grocery stores, bakeries, cheese and wines shops and even a well-stocked supermarket of local foods.
Inside the villa, a masterful restoration harmoniously combines country chic interiors with typical Tuscan flair. The result is an atmosphere as warm as the weather outside. Traditional flagstone floors lead you to the outdoor dining room under an alfresco porch with its old wood fired pizza oven. The fully equipped country-style kitchen opens onto the outside dining area. On cooler evenings you can also opt to dine in the formal dining room which seats up to 12 people. There are also 2 living rooms both with a fireplace and a bathroom. On the first floor there are four bedrooms (three of which with a king size bed and one with two twin beds) and two full bathrooms
Outside this rustic-style farmhouse there are various places to relax and enjoy good wine and fine food while taking in the incomparable views. The large pool area is fringed by a pool house that features an additional bathroom with toilet and sink plus a warm outdoor shower.
Wifi is provided throughout the property. Air conditioning is available. Tv has international channels including BBC and CNN.

There's nothing for it but to relax ALBERTA FARMHOUSE is the perfect spot!

It has now gone tree weeks since we left Lucca and the beautiful Villa Alberta. We just want to tell you how pleased we were with our stay in the farmhouse and how welcoming we felt when being met by Mariapia, Betty and Ezio. They were all so friendly and helpful! We have written to Mariapia, but please send Betty and Ezio our regards and congratulations to a marvelous house.
The house had everything we had wished for, and the distance to the goal of our excursions wasn’t long: to the sea and the beachens, to Florence, PisaCinque Terre. And Lucca is a fantastic city! On Sunday evening we hired bikes and cycled on the wall around the town - what a wonderful view and memory to remember in the wintertime. We hope we will have the opportunity to return to Lucca and Villa Alberta! Until then we’d like to thank you for this time and the good service we received. |

What a beautiful house! This was exactly what we needed in this terrible year. Just a few days of tuscan dolce vita in the lovely hills of Lucca to re-charge ourselves for the hard Winter months to come. The interior is so thoughtful, the kitchen is exceptionally well equipped and also the outside and the pool area are perfect. We highly recommend trying the Pizza oven an making your own Pizza in a wood fired oven. It was truly the best Pizza of our lives. We sure hope to be back in the future! All the best to the owners

Lot’s of mosquitoes. Maybe they can think about a solution to keep them out of the house.

Thank you so much for your kind comments! We are very happy that you enjoyed the place.
Unfortunately in August mosquitoes may be annoying, especially with this heat! I'm afraid this isn't a problem just of this villa...
We truly hope to have you basee more

Prepare to fall in love, not just with the elegant and well-appointed villa at Casa Betty, but with it's gracious owners Betty and Ezio. Along with Cristina they greeted our family of 8 so warmly and settled us in for our stay with wonderful instructions and helpful hints. They even prepared lovely snacks for us which we gratefully devoured after our long day of traveling. We thought we'd plan to do excursions each day to see many locations in Tuscany but Lucca ended up being a wonderful place to explore, shop and visit restaurants. Our group included my 81 year old mother and 5 early 20's kids with friends. They rented Italian mountain bikes and road up into the hills each day and spent hours lounging by the beautiful salt water pool each afternoon. We rode bikes long the walls of Lucca and visited many restaurants recommended by our hosts. We did day trips to Sienna, Vinci and Florence. One of our most special memories was the night we all cooked pizza together in the outdoor wood-fired pizza oven and drank delicious wine from the organic vineyard next door. We all fell in love, and promised Betty and Ezio we'd be back. Mille grazie Betty and Ezio!!

The house is even nicer than on the pictures. The views from the house are very nice. The house is spotless clean. The road to villa is partially on the private road. This makes it save for the kids to play outside. We have visited Pisa, Florence, Vinci and Cinque Terre. Vinci is a bit smaller and less touristic but other places are simply amazing. If you wanted to stay at the villa you will also enjoy it! October was a bit too cold to use the swimming pool. Otherwise we would have been stayed more days in the villa.

Sometimes it is difficult to be away from your home and all of the comforts and amenties there, but staying here was truly the best home base one could ask for when exploring Tuscany. Their home is so well decorated, so luxurious and exceptionally comfortable. It was really like pulling back in the driveway to your own home after being gone all day. The amenities are innumerable, the views from the hillside are spectacular, and the pool is clean and wonderful! It was nice having the Fabbrico di San Martino winery next to the property too. We were 2 parents, a grandmother, and three children under the age of 12 and it was wonderful to have as many amenities as one's own home. The only downside would maybe be the wifi can be a little spotty because of being in the hills. Grazie mille Betty and Ezio!

One really lovely house on the hill overlooking Lucca! I mean Really Lovely! As one would expect it is few kilometres drive up the hill from downtown and is nicely hidden from the main road. It shares the shares the view with two others but one would hardly notice the neighbours.at least we did not. And now about the house. Well. We have visited a fair share of the places in the world and very few are as cute, well equipped, and well kept! 4 bedrooms with 5 beds, sleeps 8 in style! TV room + Dining room + Kitchen and the Terrace Dining area are to the point. All nice and cosy. An then there is a pool. Lets just say that it comes with personal shower, changing room and the toilet. I mean just look at the pictures. Real life is better :) Owners are really nice couple with just an amount of attention you require. Absolutely would recommend and stay again!

The house ”Casa Betty” and the surroundings are truly beautiful! The owners have created the perfect summerhouse with the private pool and outdoor dining areas. The interior design was really nice and the cleaning was spotless - close to perfection! Comfortable beds and a breathtaking view of the hills of Tuscany from two of the bedrooms and one of the bathrooms. You couldn’t get enough of it! The weather wasn’t with us in this late April but we can’t imagine a better place to be during hot summerdays. There are no shopsrestaurants within comfortable walking distance and the nearest roads are curvy with cars going fast so you need to take a car whatever you want to do. With that said, we can truly recommend this place! And it’s a great location to go to Pisa, Cinque TerreFlorence and have a beautiful and peaceful home to return to. The closest neighbours are actually a winery and a olive oil-maker. We went there for a winetasting and it was a lovely experience! So please go if you stay at ”Casa Betty”!

We loved this house and spent 3 fantastic weeks here. I honestly didn't believe the house would be as good as the pictures but it was even better. The pool is great and the outdoor table and lounge is a great place to hang out and children to play. The owners of the house were wonderful. Always extremely friendly and they keep the house to a high standard. We lived 2 families in the house and with our small children, it was great. I have no doubt that we will return soon again!
