Just back home after a wonderful stay at Villa Hugo with my family. We rented the villa for a two week holiday to celebrate my mum & dad’s 60th birthday. The villa itself is so beautiful, the room’s are so spacious and grand, the grounds are stunning as is the pool area. The seating areas are also lovely & comfortable. Beautiful decor throughout the villa. I would recommend to rent a car in advance when staying at this villa. We didnt, and we were unable to get one after arriving. We did get a quote from one company for two cars for 1 week which was over £2000. Which is so expensive! So we did not go ahead with that car hire company. It was around a 20 min walk to the local train station, where you can get into Lucca in 10 mins which is very handy and what we ended up using to get into Lucca a lot of the time. We found it a little difficult getting Taxi’s on our first night and first few days from the villa to supermarkets / Lucca. After being there a few days we worked out to download the local Lucca Taxi app that helped us massively. So i would recommend using this, the app is called ‘apptaxi’ The villa itself does not have too much around the local area. We found a small shop around a 20 min walk away, along with a little coffee shop and local restaurant. We loved visiting Lucca. Its such a beautiful city, and we also visited Florence for the day via train, and went on a boat trip to see the Cinque Terre. We also did a day trip to Pisa for the boat race on the river. The trains are great in Italy and such reasonable prices too. If you are thinking about booking a holiday here, do it! You will have a great time and make amazing memories! Only advice would be to pre book a car (for convenience of supermarket runs and visiting areas you cannot get to via train) and also using the cab app to easily access taxi’s
