About this property
Typical Tuscan villa with pool, near Lucca. Beautiful panoramic terrace
- Villa Centoni, located on the Montecarlo hill, surrounded by olive trees and vineyards, offers a breathtaking view overlooking the Lucca plain.
A very large terrace for admiring sunsets accompanied by an excellent glass of wine.
A home that offers nature, relaxation, and hiking, suitable for families.
Inside, there are 5 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, an entrance hall, a TV room, a dining room, and a spacious and well-appointed kitchen. (280 sq m)
Outside, a saltwater swimming pool, garden furniture, and a pleasant poolside gazebo for wine tastings, dinners, and wine and olive oil tastings. Private parking is available.
It has a built-in barbecue for preparing delicious grilled meat or fish, a ping pong table, and two garden areas.
The villa is located in the heart of Tuscany, a 30-minute drive from the sea or Florence. A 10-minute walk takes you to the medieval historic center of Montecarlo, rich in art, culture, and excellent wine. Shopping centers are 5 km from the villa.
Lido and Massimo have managed the villa since 1998. Over time, the Centoni family has strived to offer guests who book the villa numerous extras, from a private chef, poolside dinners, wine tastings, e-bike rentals, guided farm tours, and personalized tours.
For any requests, please contact the owner.
The villa's owner (Lido) is passionate about organic extra virgin olive oil. He produces a fantastic cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil to enhance all its aromas and fragrances. You can request a tasting.
A few meters from the villa, you can admire Lido's olive trees, which he tends with the utmost passion. Upon your arrival at the villa, Lido will be happy to offer you a bottle of his lovingly produced oil.
The villa is managed by his son, Massimo.
For the Centoni family, it's always a great pleasure to meet new families who appreciate the Tuscan region, its cultures, and its customs.
The pool is open from early May until October 15th.

Very nice villa
Very nice villa located 10 min of walking distance from Montecarlo which is a charming village. There is a very nice view from the balcony. The garden is quite small but there is a nice swimmingpool. The house had everything we needed. The owner was very helpful.

Brilliant stay
We had a lovely week at the villa. Both Massimo and Lido were great to deal with and really accommodating to our needs. The salt water pool is small but perfect for keeping cool, and Massimo and Lido take really great care of it. Massimo even helped us cook on the BBQ one evening, which was very kind and greatly appreciated.
We had 4 cars between our group and the all fitted into the private driveway.
The town is just a 5 minute walk uphill - it is steep but very manageable and worth it for lovely restaurants and stunning views.

Gorgeous Tuscan villa near picture-perfect hilltop town
Gorgeous villa in an amazing part of Italy.
Warm, welcoming hosts. Great communication from start to finish.
No air con, but not needed with shutters keeping house cool.
Refreshing pool.
Ping pong table kept the teenagers and young at heart happy for many hours.
Beautiful spot near the charming medieval village of Montecarlo. Restaurants, gelatos, bars. Only a 10 min walk (though uphill - older guests may struggle).
Close to the relaxing city of Lucca - 20 mins in a car, also Florence (hourish), and Siena (1hr 20).
Thoroughly enjoyable holiday.
Grazie Massimo e Lido!

Great place to stay
We had a great stay the villa centoni! The host was very welcoming and friendly. We used the villa as the base camp, and went to other places on day trips, such as Lucca, Pisa, Pinocchio Land, Firenze. It was also nice to just hang out by the pool in the warm weather and walk up to the nearby city of Montecarlo to have some gelato! The host helped us arrange for a chef to come to the villa and cook for us a typical tuscan dinner, which was very nice.

Fantastic holiday in Villa Centoni
This really was a wonderful holiday. The villa is spacious and spotless. Lido and Massimo were incredibly helpful, but gave us just the right amount of privacy. The location at the edge of Monte Carlo was perfect. We were in there every day, for morning coffee, a leisurely lunch or dinner in one of the numerous restaurants. We were travelling as three couples within a family and everyove loved it.

Andrew authentic Tuscan villa
Plenty of space for 6 adults. Nice pool. Comfortable beds. Good communication with Massimo throughout. Mid-30's temperature meant the villa was hot with no way to cool it down, despite leaving windows and shutters closed. An uphill walk into picturesque Montecarlo took 15 minutes to reach the restaurants.

Beautiful villa, fantastic stay.
We are a group of fans of vintage car, we decided to make our cars with a tour of Tuscany, and we have identified as the basis Villa Centoni, whereas it is in the center of Tuscany. The owner and his son were very helpful in advising us wonderful destinations. In the evening, the pool, with the catering service we enjoyed local dishes, with wine tasting and olive oil.
The villa is very large and well maintained. The pool was essential for our stay.
The small village of Montecarlo is very nice.
From the villa you can admire a fantastic panorama.
The guaranteed relax at the villa and the villa is surrounded by olive groves and vineyards, total relaxation.
A proper Thank Lido and Massimo, the villa managers that have always been available to us.

Best Vacation Ever
My family had a wonderful week at the Villa Centoni in Montecarlo. The villa was everything we wanted: clean, spacious, beautiful views, large rooms, a nice swimming pool, nicely appointed kitchen, and plumbing that worked. It was very private, but close to the small town of Montecarlo. We were seeking a rental that was not in some tourism hot spot, and I don't think we saw any during our trip. Montecarlo was a 10 minute walk away and had great restaurants at very reasonable prices. The wine was excellent and very inexpensive. We were close enough to Pisa and Florence for anyone who wanted the tourist experience. Lastly, our hosts were very welcoming, kind, and not intrusive in any way. They responded immediately to our questions about anything. Like the rest of the people in this area, kindness and friendliness oozed out of their every pore. It was all around probably our best vacation and we would not hesitate to recommend it very highly.

We had a wonderful one-week stay here. The house is large and was perfect for our group of 10 adults and two babies. There are bedrooms and bathrooms with showers (and one bathtub on first floor) on both the upper and first floors, which was very convenient. Easy to walk up to Montecarlo (this beautiful tiny town on the hill of Montecarlo) with stunning views over the hills and cute restaurants with delicious food and wine. You’ll also live close to wine yards less than 2 km from the house.It’s good to know that essentials like toilet paper, dish soap, and hand soap were not provided at arrival, so we recommend bringing or buying these. Beds were comfortable and they provide sheets and towels for you. Massimo (Lido’s son) manages the villa and was always nearby if we needed anything. Communication worked well with the help of Google Translate. Thanks to him, we were able to surprise our parents with a wine tasting and a guided tour of the olive grove with Francesca (American). Afterwards, we enjoyed a fantastic 5-course dinner prepared by chef Silvia for the whole family in the backyard by the pool – such a memorable experience!We also had space for three rental cars in the parking area which is good to know if you’re a large family coming. Overall we are very pleased with this stay and we would recommend it to anyone who would enjoy the Tuscany area and local wines!

Super fin bolig til prisen.Det var vores 3. Ophold i boligen, hvor vi også har holdt ferie i 2017 og 2023. Huset har en fantastisk beliggenhed nær den lille bjergby montecarlo, hvor der er masser af restauranter og et ishus. Vi havde bestilt en kok (chef Silvia) under opholdet, som lavede en udsøgt italiensk middag for os. Huset har en fin lille pool som er uundværlig i den italienske sommer. Vi var meget glade for den ekstra fryser, som hjalp os med at holde drikkevarer kolde under vores ophold

Fantastisk familieferie
Dejligt hus med fantastisk beliggenhed.
Huset er meget funktionelt og velegnet til storfamilie.
Huset er minimalistisk indrettet og vi har før været i huse i området med flottere indretning og bedre pool. Hertil skal dog siges at lejen på dette hus også er betydelig lavere og derfor matcher pris og kvalitet fint.
Vi havde nogle problemer med den lille fryser over køleskabet som ikke fungerede, når der var meget mad i køleskabet. Dette løste udlejer ved og anskaffe en lille kummefryser og herefter fungerede det fint.
Vi havde desværre 2 dage hvor vi ikke kunne bruge poolen, fordi pumpen ikke virkede. Det er naturligvis lidt ærgerligt. Det var dog vores indtryk at ejeren gjorde hvad han kunne, for og løse problemet hurtigst muligt.
udlejer var også fleksibel ved ankomst og afrejse, hvilket var en stor fordel for os, da vi var fire familier der ankom og afrejste på forskellige tidspunkter.

Schöne Lage, sehr netter Vermieter, Minderwertige Ausstattung
Wir waren 7 Erwachsene und 1 Baby. Die Lage des Hauses ist super, da man zu Fuss in die nächste Ortschaft mit vielen Restaurants gehen konnte, was uns sehr entgegen kam. Massimo war ein sehr netter, hilfsbereiter Vermieter. Er wohnt in der unteren Wohnung, aber man fühlte sich überhaupt nicht gestört. Die Ausstattung des Hauses war allerdings qualitativ minderwertig (unbrauchbare Pfannen, unbrauchbare Espressokanne, Billigst- Liegestühle, keine Sonnenschirme, abblätternde Küchenfronten sprich es ist alles in die Jahre gekommen. Internet nur zeitweise und unzuverlässig verfügbar.
