Positief: Netheid
We recently stayed at Villa Donaldino and overall had a very enjoyable holiday. The villa itself was clean and spacious, with large, well-appointed bedrooms and spotless, functional bathrooms. The gardens were lovely, featuring olive trees and shaded areas perfect for relaxing, and the pool was excellent—easy to keep clean despite a few insects.However, future guests should be aware that the villa sits at the top of a very long, winding, and quite narrow road, taking around eight minutes to climb by car. A car is absolutely essential, as there are no shops or restaurants within walking distance, and every outing requires navigating this road.During our stay, there were several mornings disturbed by local neighbours using garden trimmers and other motorised tools, which we did have to complain about. The villa has a recycling system, but the lack of sufficient bin bags led to organic waste odours between collections.The outdoor dining table, although lovely, doesn’t comfortably seat eight as advertised—the positioning of the legs makes it awkward for more than six. While the bedrooms were spacious, the bedding and pillows weren’t of the highest quality. The kitchen was a particular disappointment: poorly organised and equipped with low-quality utensils and cutlery, which felt surprising given the premium price of the villa.That said, Villa Donaldino is well located for visiting Lucca, which is about a 20-minute drive away and was a highlight of our trip
