Villa de luxe du 18ème siècle à distance de marche d'un joli village

Dear Mo eventually after two years Covid disruption time we had a chance to meet with you and your family. You and your family were very welcome to stay in our family’s house. Thank you for choosing Villa Luciano for you Tuscan retreat

Calin and David physicians doctors from Jonesboro in Arkansas USA organised a beautiful friends group reunion at Villa Luciano with guests coming from Vienna and Bucarest, they enjoyed the pease and set of the small authentic typical Tuscany village of Londa discovering the very warm welcome from the local community. We are looking forward for their next year reunion.

it is always an honor and a privilege to have guests who, coming from all over the world, choose to stay at Villa Luciano and the pretty little village of Londa, just 40 minutes from the center of Florence, in the heart of Tuscany. Joe with his family and friends travelled from Houston, Orlando, Washington and London to gather and enjoy good time together in Tuscany. It was a pleasure to make them feel at home in our family Tuscan Villa.

Thank you JoAnn

Sheah coming from Florida with her lovely husband, family and friends from different part of USA and even Tel Aviv in Israel choose Villa Luciano and Londa as the base to their Italian trip. Gabriella and Aziz made them feel at home while was Gabriella cooking proper Tuscan dishes at night and Aziz looking after them during the day. Sheah’s husband was relaxing in the garden playing my guitar and providing a magic atmosphere for all the group. We loved their way of staying at the Villa with their friends and family making feel everybody at home in the surrounding garden of The Villa. Finally I was put in charge to arrange for them a full day wine tour day around the Chianti wineries of the area including my family one too. During this full educational wine and wineries day around Chianti Rufina I was very proud to share my knowledge and traditions about our wine and wineries making. This full intensive wine day it was the peak of their Tuscan holiday and very much appreciated as I understood from their comments.

Dear Tony it has been a privilege and honour to host your beautiful three generations family at our property that has been in our family for three generations too. Also your Italian roots added a magical touch to your staying at Villa Luciano giving us a proud feeling for having choose our house to celebrate your family: viva la famiglia sempre!

Thank you so much for choosing Villa Luciano and our little town of Londa to enjoy your summer holiday under the Tuscan sunshine.

I had the privilege to host Joan and her wonderful family coming from California and Scotland into our family’s Tuscany Villa. Joan chose Villa Luciano to held her family reunion with her two daughters and amazing grandchildren (11, 14, 20 and 22) to experience something authentic in order to spending good quality time with them in our daily fast moving lives. For this reason I wanted to show them the real authentic spirit of Londa from where my family is from and its surrounding hills well known for the cultivation of the famous Chianti wine and the extra virgin olive oil just 40’ from the historic centre of Florence. My family has been in this valley for many generations and the beautiful words of Joan mean a lot to our community where hospitality is the most important value to share with our guests visiting our region from all around the world. Dear Joan thank you so much for choosing Londa and Villa Luciano for your family gathering and I really hope you will visiting us again in the future. I wish all the best in life to your great family.

Unfortunately Gabriella now nearly 80, our historical local lady, who has been the chef and cooking class mastermind at the Villa for more than 20 years, had been very ill in the last year and Carmelo and Francesca (my nephew’s father and mother in law) have taken over Gabriella’s role. Also one bar closed down during Covid but hopefully it should be opened again soon. We are in the process to update some of the photos and information launching a new website, but I am very happy overall that Judy with her family and friends enjoyed their staying at the Villa and Londa confirming an excellent feed back left by all previous guests writing their beautiful comments and memories both on our guests book at the Villa or with their reviews online. All of this makes ourselves very proud to be the custodians of this local treasure to be offered to our visitors who are coming from all around the world from Canada, USA, Europe, Australia, New Zeland, South Africa ….since we opened our family’s house since 1994, to visit this little town of Londa and stay at Villa Luciano (my father name)

Please come back you are very welcome to our little village of Londa a gem of Tuscany and Italy a perfect place to experience something unique and authentic

Dear Tracy, I am very pleased that you with your family and friends enjoyed our family’s Villa and the pretty little village of Londa. We are always very proud and honoured to host families and friends like you who travelling from the opposite side of the globe visit Tuscany. We really love to share our sense of hospitality with our guests to make them feel at home experiencing authentic true values of our local culture. Gabriella and Fatima with their excellent cooking skills are a mix of traditional Tuscany recipes and Morocco exotic flavours while Aziz’s help are as well our surprise and gift to our guests. See you back in Londa.

Tom and his family from USA with italian descendents chose our Villa for his three generation family reunion.....a great honour to have them in our house also owned by my family for three generation! I have enjoyed since from the beginning talk with Tom over the phone and by e-mail to be sure everything would be arranged in the best way to fit in his family vacation requirements and eventually to meet in person at the Villa and at last all family with hands on pizza making in the ancient 250 years old stone oven located in the main ground floor kitchen where Gabriella in-house local chef hold tuscan cooking classes ....Tom showed his skills as pizzaiolo too managing with great confidence all pizzas in and out from the oven: believe me it's not an easy job at all! Hope to see Tom with his father who could not make it this time and all family again sometime in the future at Villa Luciano and Londa. My best regards to all of them. Paolo from Villa Luciano

We loved their staying at Villa Luciano

We had the privilege to have this British and Italian family staying at Villa Luciano for the celebration of their parents 60th wedding anniversary, but what interesting to know is that their parents are originally from south of Italy. Domenico and Giuseppina emigrated to England in the 50s and they settled there like many others emigrants. Domenico and Giuseppina children are all British borne and they chose the little village of Londa and house to celebrate their family memories. Since I also emigrated to England 30 years ago and I have now British and Italian family roots I feel very close to Domenico and Giuseppina and their children and this make me very proud of Villa Luciano to have been their perfect spot to celebrate the love for their family. Carmine comments on their holiday at the Villa like most of our guests comments confirm that Londa and our beautiful house are magic places and a perfect setting for families and friends reunion from all around the world. Thank you for staying at Villa Luciano and share your memories. Paolo

Liebe Angelika, vielen dank für deine Kommentare. Ich stimme Ihnen voll und ganz zu, in unserer Villa zu leben bedeutet, das authentische zu erlebenalter toskanischer charme. Vielen Dank, dass Sie sich für unser Haus und die Stadt Londa für Ihren Urlaub in der Toskana entschieden haben.

Gary is from Canada and he, his family and another group of friends are coming back again next year (2020) for the third time since he first discovered Villa Luciano and Londa in the summer 2010! From his words and comments I can understand that he loved everything about our place and area. I will make sure that our welcome and hospitality to Gary’s group will make feel them at home again. I am really looking forward to that.

Pat and Jill were at the Villa for a week traveling from Missouri the first week of June. We did our best at The Villa to let them experience an authentic Tuscany staying. Gabriella our local chef lady cooked only local food and recipes part of our tradition but Fatima and Aziz Villa’s in house staff introduced the fine Marocco cuisine as well. Pat and Jill’s families loved walking to the Village in the morning for proper cappuccino and espresso served in Londa ancient square just 2’ down the road. I am always very pleased when guests send their comments on Villa Luciano traveling experience and recommendations. Thanks for choosing Londa and Villa Luciano for your Tuscan retreat and looking forward to see you again sometime in the future.

Gillian came from Scotland in June 2019 to celebrate her birthday party with all her family. Weather was very hot and they fully enjoyed the pool to cool down during the heat of the day. At the same time experienced Gabriella cooking and local restaurants around Londa. We arranged transportation from the Villa to San Gimignano and back for her group in order for them to take full advantage of the day venture being free to drink Chianti and don’t worry about driving back home (sorry not drink and drive allowed in Italy too!). I am do happy that they fully enjoyed their birthday party family reunion at Villa Luciano walking down to the village for a cappuccino espresso or gin tonic too! We loved their staying at the Villa and the fact that Gillian choose Londa for her family gathering. Very honoured for that and I understand that everything went behind their expectations. Well done.

Dear Tessie I am very flattered and honoured by your beautiful genuine comments about your staying at the Villa. I have very welcomed your amazing family and fully enjoyed your staying at our family’s home. We have done our best to make of our Villa and our location a memorable place for you and your family to remember especially coming from so far away to celebrate your 70th year birthday. I really wish to all of you the best in life and hopefully I will see you again either in Londa or USA. My warmest regards. Paolo
