Hotel Albergo Villa Marta details:
Our recently-restored 19th century hunting lodge, located at the foot of the renowned Monti Pisani, is only 5 km from the historic town of Lucca.
Take advantage of our privileged position in the tranquil Tuscan countryside, while still within reach of the historic towns. We offer an airport shuttle for your convenience and bicycle rental so you can explore Lucca’s ancient architecture in comfort and style. There are also several in-house activities such as a massage parlour, wine-tasting, cookery and painting lessons.
The magnificent views can be seen from every room, which include an extensive Renaissance garden and swimming pool. All our elegant and warmly decorated rooms are spacious, light and equipped with modern amenities. A number have marvellous frescoed ceilings, infusing our traditionally Italian, grand manor style hotel with a wonderful Tuscan atmosphere.
Our hotel is an ideal base for artists and photographers.
Just five kilometres from Lucca, in the beautiful, sun-drenched Tuscan countryside, an elegant, cream-coloured nineteenth-century villa comes into view as you enter the gate. It stands fairly high on a hill, surrounded by a large garden in the typical Lucca Renaissance style, with two flights of steps leading up to the entrance, from either side. A peaceful atmosphere reigns everywhere, a balm for the soul of any traveller.
The pleasant, relaxing atmosphere that guests at Villa Marta so love, is created mainly by the cordial and attentive hospitality offered by Andrea Martinelli and his wife Alessia, who run the hotel. They personally welcome the guests and see to their every need with friendly efficiency, making them feel as if they are staying in a private home rather than a hotel.

Location
Lucca is one of the most pleasant Italian towns to enjoy a nice walk; each street in fact follows the scheme of the roman colony and the historic centre, created by small streets which open to squares, is nestled by five hundred years old city walls. Lucca is not only the hometown of Giacomo Puccini but is also full of churches in Romanic-Pisano style such as the Cathedral dedicated to San Martino which preserve masterpiece as the small octagonal altar of “Volto Santo” , the face of Christ, and the tomb of Ilaria del Carretto made by Jacopo della Quercia.
The main street is Via Fillungo, a nice walk between boutiques, old goldsmiths and nice nightclubs. All buildings of Piazza del Mercato follow the original elliptical outline of the roman amphitheatre.
Rooms
The villa houses 15 extremely comfortable rooms. 2 are deluxe, and 3 are superior, where guests receive extra pampering. Great attention is given to detail: radiators and air conditioners are painted the same colour as the walls, there is a minibar and a glass bottle of mineral water in every room and hand-made chocolates in the finest Lucca tradition lie on your pillow to wish you sweet dreams. Extra comforts are provided for guests in each room in the form of a desk and 2 armchairs.

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 local Fubbiano wine is a meal in itself, and you can have a nightcap in the candlelit canvas tented seating area on the grounds. The staff are incredibly lovely, and there are bikes if you like to explore the area. Breakfast here was my favorite of any hotel in Italy. Wouldn't stay anywhere else in Lucca...

Recently five members of our family spent a blissful and most enjoyable nine days at Albergo Villa Marta. Our rooms were large enough and very comfortable with beautiful views. The staff were gracious, friendly and proficient--especially the four delightful young ladies who man the reception desk. The housekeeping was excellent--there was even an evening turn-down and a tidying of the ample bathroom.
The meals and meal service were top grade. Breakfast was a fine way to start the day. Coffee was hot and plentiful. The fruits and homebaked pastries were varied and perfect. Dinner was sumptuous and especially well prepared. The drinks are generous, and the wine choices are broad.
Another positive about Villa Marta is its outstanding location for exploring western Tuscany. With our knowledgable driver, we were able to easily access a wide variety of interesting locations, including Portofino, Cinque Terre, Barga, Florence, Bibbiano, the Siena area, etc.
All in all, we recommend Albergo Villa Marta enthusiastically.
