Big Private Garden, AC, Swimming Pool, Hot Tub, Huge Play Area, & Great Views

Casa Mennone is a magnificent holiday villa in an elevated, quiet, rural location near Lucca, Tuscany, with spectacular views across the plain and sun from dawn to dusk.

For centuries the farmers who lived here grew corn, grapes and olives on the surrounding land, for local aristocratic families.

The expansive garden has a circular saltwater pool, sun loungers, large children’s play area, ample shade, spa hot tub, barbecue and wood fired pizza oven.

The house is thoughtfully decorated, comfortably furnished and well equipped. Quiet air conditioning in every room, fast Wi-Fi, refrigerator with ice-maker, coffee machine, bar and a veranda for alfresco dining.

Laid out to accommodate large family groups, there’s plenty of space to socialise and many quiet areas to relax, read or play games.

Dating to circa 1600 the original, traditional farmhouse has been extended over the years. Our family carefully restored it and has let it as a holiday home since 1987. We continue making Villa Mennone even more sustainable. Recent eco-friendly upgrades include installing a low energy air conditioning system, solar panels for hot water and converting the swimming pool to saltwater.

Our family continues to oversee every aspect of our guests’ stay to ensure they have the best experience and most relaxing holiday possible.

Perfect for hosting extended groups of family and friends in maximum comfort, in a traditional Tuscan setting.

Villa Mennone is a truly memorable destination for your next holiday.

AMAZING STAY!
15 of us came to celebrate my husbands 60th bday. The communication was unbelievably perfect. Mario the owner helped us before we got there. (Finding a Chef, transportation etc). Once there, Lisa ,the house manager, consistently answered many questions. She was so helpful as to where to eat, getting us a taxi. The property is SPECTACULAR! The pictures don’t do it justice.A trip of a lifetime. Hope to get back someday, couldn’t have been any better than it was. PERFETTO. Do not hesitate this beautiful property, memories that will last a life time. Grazie Mario and Lisa!

Beautiful large hillside farmhouse with incredible views
The large 9BD house perfectly accommodated 17pp (4 families ages 16-61). Home is large and immaculately clean with plenty indoor and outdoor space to relax and gather. Appreciated the individual air conditioning units in the bedrooms and gathering rooms which were perfect since we stayed during the end of July. The outdoor garden, large pool and jacuzzi were the highlight with views for miles. Sunrise and sunsets were amazing. The home is in the hillside and need to maneuver some narrow and windy roads, but worth it for the views and solitude of the home. Having a car is a must. We didn’t rent a car which was our mistake (no one wanted to drive) so we had to use a car service (and costs quickly added up) for grocery shopping and sightseeing to Lucca, Pisa, Florence and Cinque Terre. It was a trip of a lifetime and Casa Mennone was perfect.

A great place to stay.
There were 16 of us staying spanning the three generations of the family. The house was large enough for us not to get in each other’s way while at the same time allowing us to have a fantastic time in each other’s company. The children were hardly out of the pool!

A Tuscan Dream
We spent 3 weeks here and this property is amazing. It is the perfect blend of a true Tuscany experience with modern comforts. It was handicap accessible (wonderful for my 80 year old mom). The amazing pool, yard, hot tub was great for the kids. It has comfortable beds, great showers, AC, WIFI, modern stove and incredible views. We loved the nearby town of Lucca and the location is easy for day trips to Pisa, Florence and the coast. The host responded immediately to any questions and provided great information on the area, food recommendations, close by winery and even travel recommendations. Our family (12 people ranging from 6-80) loved it. We hope we could return someday!

Relaxing stay with gorgeous surroundings
The stay was excellent and a great retreat for our family! Mario’s communication & hospitality was excellent & the villa was very clean & even more beautiful than the photos. We had 4 generations of family and everyone enjoyed the experience. We meant to do more sightseeing, but frankly everyone wanted more time just being together as a family. The views were amazing & both the pool & hot tub were enjoyed. The family even enjoyed a competition of ping pong. One of everyone’s highlights was when local Chefs came & cooked an unbelievable 3 course dinner with appetizers & deserts - we highly recommend. We are very thankful to Mario for sharing their place so we could build many happy family memories.

Beautiful property, wonderful location, great facilities and a brilliant time!
We had a wonderful time at Casa Mennone - there were 14 of us and plenty of room and activities for all. Mario did a fantastic pizza night and we had Rossana cook for us on another couple of nights - she was great and well worth considering. The pool is lovely and the view is one to enjoy - bring binoculars! Mario was available whenever we had questions and this is very much a property to be recommended if you have a large party. Many thanks to all the Ciambelli Family for making us feel welcome.

Incredible place incredible location incredible views and incredible hosts.
17 family members stayed for a week as it was my mother’s 80th birthday and we had an unbelievable experience. The house is laid out perfectly. The bedrooms were charming and the bathrooms were clean spacious and updated. Mario responded immediately to the smallest requests. The pool and hot tub were pristine and used everyday. The view is breathtaking during the day and at night and the setting is pure Tuscany. The Ciambelli Family are incredible people and we’re so gracious. I truly can’t say enough about this place. It was a perfect home away from home that we used to access hill towns to the south and coastal towns to the north as well as Florence and Lucca. I’ll be back and maybe it will have to be during olive season in November as the Family produces upwards of 1500 bottles of olive oil. If it’s available rent this place and make incredible memories in Tuscany. Grazie to the Ciambelli Family

The house was very clean and had a beautiful view and pool. Great outdoor area.
We had a good stay at Casa Mennone. The house was clean and had a beautiful view. We were a little disappointed about the lack of contact with the hosts apart from the initial brief run through. We would have loved more information on places to visit and things to do in the area in order to get the most out of our visit to Capannori. Thankfully past reviews mentioned a few things, otherwise we wouldn’t have known about the pizza dough at the bakery etc. Great WiFi.

Beautiful place with amazing views and a great host.
We really enjoyed our stay at Loretta and Mario's house. They were always reachable and helped with all questions and requests. The house has everything you need and you feel right at home. The best part of course is the garden with the pool and the gorgeous views. We were a large group and had enough space to hang out throughout the day. Thanks to Mario for the great stay and we are sure we will be coming back soon.

Picture perfect views!
We just finished our week at the villa and can't say enough about our experiences! Villa is beautiful, plenty of room, outside area the best, views over the Tuscan countryside and town of Lucca are breathtaking. We were a party of 14 and fit very comfortably. What made our stay extra special is the family that owns the villa. They opened up their home to all of us. We learned so much about the area and local culture from each family member. A few of our favorite memories were a cooking lesson from Loretta, pizza night when we used the outdoor pizza oven and our visits to The family's organic farm next door. We had a minor household issue during our stay and they were extremely responsive. A car is a must to access supermarkets and to visit Lucca. Lucca is great medieval town. Small and when we were there- free from tourist crowds. Florence, Pisa and Cinque Terra are short train rides away. I highly recommended a stay here. We can't wait until we get to go again!

The property is amazing! In reality it’s way bigger than what we imagined. The pool, the garden (soccer 4 vs 4 no problem), the view, the jacuzzi. The Pool gets cleaned and if you have questions you can just write via WhatsApp. Just everything was perfect. And with 16 people (18+) it was really affordable (in May). Would go there again!

Everything was perfect
We had a great stay at Casa Mennone! Highlight was the huge outdoor space with a really gorgeous view from the terace, pool and jacuzzi. We hardly left the premises due to Covid, but with all the possibilities in the garden, the six children in our party never got bored - and neither did the adults. :) Also, we regularly made use of the pizza / bread oven and bbq. Also indoors, nothing was missing. Everything was there you could possibly need for a large group. Communication was very easy. The host family was extremely nice and always quick to give a helpful answer. All in all: Great vacation, great house, absolutely recommendable!
