The staff couldn’t have been kinder or more helpful. The property is so unique and we loved our loft room that had plenty of space for our family of 5. Highly recommend taking the bikes they have available to ride around the city. One of our trip highlights!

The best part of the hotel was the pool and landscape around the hotel. The food at the restaurant was ok. The only downside of our stay was the drunk British man who couldn't find his room and woke us up at 3 am by sticking his head through our bedroom window looking for his girlfriend.

The La Monastica resort was a wonderful place with a staff who were exceptionally welcoming, pleasant and helpful. The room was nice and the bed was very comfortable. The location and grounds were beautiful with some modern influences in decor but really maintaining the overall old world charm and aesthetic of the monastery. We really enjoyed time in the bar playing cards and drinking some great cocktails.

This is not a picture-postcard villa with glorious views in the heart of town. It's a super-clean, well-managed, airy, Best Western with free parking, helpful staff, good restaurant, free internet, and fine breakfast, 10 minutes by car from Lucca and a good jumping-off base for driving to other sites in the area. Good value for the money.

The best area to stay in Gello, Tuscany, is directly within the historic village itself, particularly around the central Piazza della Cisterna.
This area offers a peaceful and authentic Tuscan experience. You'll find a collection of restored stone houses and villas, often with private gardens and views of the surrounding olive groves and vineyards. The main piazza is a central gathering point, and the narrow, winding streets invite leisurely exploration. For couples, this setting is ideal for a romantic and secluded retreat, offering privacy and a genuine connection to Tuscan life.
For families, staying slightly outside the immediate village center, yet still within a short drive, provides excellent options. Many agriturismos and larger villas are located on the hillsides surrounding Gello. These properties often feature amenities like private pools, spacious grounds for children to play, and kitchens for preparing family meals.
When is the best time to go to Gello?
For travelers seeking pleasant weather for outdoor activities and fewer crowds, the best times to visit Gello are late spring (May to early June) and early autumn (September to early October).
During these periods, the weather is typically warm and sunny without the intense heat of mid-summer, making it ideal for exploring the Tuscan countryside, vineyards, and olive groves. You'll find comfortable temperatures for walking or cycling through the hills and enjoying al fresco dining.
Couples looking for a romantic and tranquil escape will particularly appreciate these months.
