Wonderful place to spend your holidays. Very spacious house, good beds, every room with a bathroom and a great kitchen! There were 18 of us and the “kitchen crew” was delighted with the facilities. We also used Anna’s cooking service. We can also highly recommend that. Villa Clara has a very nice, spacious pool area. The whole complex, inside and out, is very well maintained and clean. We felt very comfortable and can recommend it with a clear conscience.

Villa Clara was absolutely perfect for our family — the rooms, bathrooms, common areas and pool were all lovely and the meals were delicious. Lucca is a delightful city, just the right size to be manageable but not overly full of tourists. I appreciated all the help you gave ahead of our trip and your responsiveness to our needs during the week. I will happily recommend Salogi to friends who ask for advice finding villas in Tuscany.

If you are looking for an authentic experience in the heart of Tuscany then look no further. Villa Clara is an amazing property that is spacious and makes you feel like you are transported. Each room has a story and we cannot recommend enough the meals they offer. All fresh and home-made, some of the best food we ate on the trip. The villa is not far from Lucca and is a great central location to get around Tuscany. The owners are kind and will help you with any questions or requests to make your stay comfortable. For our first trip to Italy we couldn’t think of a better place to be.

I have stayed at Villa Clara and Casa Rosa (on the same property) twice now, and I would return again! The property is well maintained, the owners live on-site and are nearby to offer assistance, etc. When we arrived (later than expected) we were greeted with a beautiful display of wine, breads, cheese & meats. The owners are lovely people and they helped make our stay wonderful!
