Our family of 4 loved our stay in Orfeo this September. A car is virtually essential to stay here, which we hadn't realised initially, although our host Pino generously offered to drive us to the supermarket when we arrived by taxi. He also made a couple of good restaurant suggestions on the nights we didn't cook and we particularly loved "Le Corte". Additionally, we needed a doctor appointment unexpectedly & Pino was extremely helpful. The property is secluded and quiet, offering a wonderful pool and beautiful gardens. Orfeo was well-equipped, everything worked and the beds were fabulous. Beware of the mosquitoes as not all windows or doors have screens. We enjoyed several daytrips, with Cinque Terre about 1 hour away & Pisa even closer. The village of Volterra was fabulous, and of course Lucca itself is sublime. We highly recommend this property & wish we could have stayed much longer than a week. Our only gripe is the extra payment for cleaning. We feel the price should be all-inclusive.
