La Maison di Luca

Our experience with La Maison di Luca was quite disappointing. We reached out to the property in advance to confirm our booking details, but never received the payment instructions or account information for the deposit. Despite multiple follow-up emails, we got no response at all. After two days, we finally heard back—only to be told that our original dates were no longer available and we’d need to change them. This lack of communication and professionalism was extremely frustrating, especially after investing time and effort into planning our stay. If you're considering this place, be aware: clear and timely responses are not guaranteed, and it’s risky to rely on their coordination.

Check-in was completely contactless—everything was arranged smoothly via WhatsApp, which made the whole process effortless and modern. Breakfast was a DIY setup, but it came with all the essentials: bread, jam, coffee, juice—more than enough to start the day right. The property is beautifully organized, and I truly appreciated the independence and convenience. If you’re up for a short hike, this is an ideal choice. Would absolutely stay here again!
