We stayed for three nights in a one bedroom apartment above the winery. The apartment was located in the old farmers quarters and was like stepping back in time.

The Hotel Fabbrica di San Martino is everything I had hoped for in a Villa in Tuscany and I would love to stay here again.||One word of caution our Satellite Navigation in our car did not recognise the Villa's name but we had been supplied with coordinates that guided us there. On our first night we went into Lucca for dinner and on returning we went to previous destinations in the Sat Nav but found out that it does not remember coordinates only names.

Giovanna was a text message away from anything my best friend and I wanted, every step of the way. ||A variety of breakfast items were available daily, as well as water, butter, creamers, etc. The cabinets were fully equipped with dishes, bowls, utensils, pots, pans and anything you'd need! ||The farmhouse was very spacious and had a wonderful, Italian charm. There were always plenty of towels available for inside and poolside. The pool is lovely and there are canopy cover spots for each guest to provide sufficient shade complete with lounges, a table and chairs. ||The property is in the mountains and the vineyards and olive trees are on the property and are so beautiful! What a view! The entire property is peaceful, quiet and the rooms have shutters on the windows that allow you to sleep as late as you'd like! ||Giuseppe gave us a wine cellar tour and Giovanna explained how they make their olive oil. Both are delicious, btw! The city of Lucca is very close and it's easy to get taxis to and from Fabbrica San Martino and the hosts are happy to answer any questions and provide recommendations.||I highly recommend staying here!
