Warm and welcoming place in the beautiful province of Lucca. Alida and Luca make you feel at home in their inn full of colors and traditions. I will definitely come back.

We stayed only for one night, but it was enough to savor the peace and tranquility of these places. The managers, Alida and Luca, are two kind, friendly, and always available people. Isotta and Priscilla make this structure even more welcoming. Excellent experience.

Beyond all expectations, Alida and Luca do not appear immediately as 'the managers', but as two friends, attentive first and foremost to humanity and empathy. Obviously, the same attention is dedicated to cleanliness, details, and advice on restaurants and more. I immediately saved Locanda San Ginese among my favorites. From now on, we will always more willingly look for any event nearby. But there is no need to have an excuse to visit the inn.

My friends and I had the most wonderful time staying at Locanda San Ginese. Our hosts, Alida and Luca, were exceptionally gracious and warm and went out of their way to make our stay an absolute delight. We were completely immersed in the culture and hospitality of Tuscany and hope to come back soon! Highly recommended.

Beautiful and spacious rooms, tastefully furnished in Tuscan style, natural stones and high-quality furniture, each room has a different color, multicolored bedspreads I would say in an ethnic style. I forgot: super well-stocked bookcase! This is a place for a relaxing vacation, peace, and tranquility. Alida, the owner, pays attention to the details of the rooms, nothing is missing, indeed there are many small extra touches beyond what is necessary! Breakfast in the morning outside under the porch is definitely homely and absolutely delicious. We will definitely come back!

My partner and I were overwhelmed by the extreme kindness of the owner, who treated us like friends from the start. All surrounded by fantastic dogs and cats that kept us company. The property is equipped with everything, and if there is something wrong, you will definitely be satisfied. The only minor note I can make is that there was no TV in the room, but it could be an advantage!

At Locanda San Ginese, my family and I found what we were looking for: a peaceful corner immersed in greenery. Alida is a fantastic host, exquisite and very helpful. She pampers you and makes you feel truly at home. It's really enjoyable to converse with her. She assigned us a very spacious room, carefully curated down to the smallest detail. Even our dog appreciated the spaces provided! A special mention should be made for the breakfast. Varied and very abundant, with genuine and fresh products: a pleasure for the eyes as well as the palate! Thank you for everything Alida: it's clear that you love your work and that you love enriching your wealth of human experiences by opening your home to your guests. Hope to see you soon.

What a surprise! Pleasant encounter that makes us believe in the possibilities of the human race. What can I say, like being with family, pampered from our arrival to departure. Alida and Luca thank you, you are beautiful people. Everything perfect, from the room and services, all well taken care of with taste and refinement. A great breakfast and many, many suggestions to see the attractions of the nearby places we visited like the Devil's Bridge in Borgo a Mozzano and a visit to Marlia at the splendid Villa Reale. Also in the village there is an excellent restaurant, also suggested by Alida. A place to return to Carla and Brunello.

Thanks to the owners Alida and Luca (and the sweet dogs Isotta and Priscilla), me and my friends spent a beautiful weekend. The inn is surrounded by greenery, you can breathe a climate of true relaxation and carefreeness, and hospitality reigns. It's a pity to have stayed so shortly! Definitely worth returning.

Alida, the hostess, is the most wonderful owner of all our travels. She is like an old friend or relative welcoming you to her home. She is funny, smart, helpful, and caring. Her accommodations have a whimsical magic about them, and everything in her farmhouse is a testament to her own personal magic and love for life. We did not want for anything while staying there and felt so relaxed and free in her presence. Her B&B makes us want to move to San Ginese and buy a farmhouse like hers. We love Alida, and know her future guests will feel the same charm as we experienced. Pamela Gamble from Colorado.

Sorprendente Locanda. Si è circondati dall’aria pura, dai gelsomini, dal verde, dall’allegro scodinzolare di una giovane cagnolona, si è avvolti dalla pace. E dalla cordialità e gentilezza di Alida, instancabile locandiera capace di trasmettere energia e calore umano. È come stare in famiglia, o fra amici dal profondo affetto. Le camere sono spettacolari: ampie, comode, generose, accoglienti. Hanno un numero ma anche un nome proprio, che non rivelo, perché la Locanda merita una visita e un incontro con Alida, Luca, i loro cani, i loro gatti. Che diventano anche un po’ nostri. Colazioni abbondanti, ci si dimentica dell’orologio e non si ha bisogno della tivù. Ho ricaricato le mie povere vuote pile, portandomi a casa profumi ritrovati, sorrisi gentili e sì, un po’ di nostalgia. Ci torno. Andateci. È un posto dolcemente magico.

La Locanda San Ginese è situata nella splendida cornice dei colli fuori Lucca, vicino alla zona di Compito. È consigliabile recarvisi in auto, ma nel caso in cui non siate automuniti è comunque raggiungibile con i mezzi pubblici da Lucca. A pochi minuti di cammino, potrete trovare il Frantoio Sociale del Compitese e la trattoria da Paolo e Paola, nel caso in cui dobbiate provvedere al cibo. L'accoglienza dei gestori è squisita, il mio ragazzo edi io ci siamo sentiti serviti e riveriti. Siamo davvero soddisfatti dell'esperienza: dall'arredamento alla pulizia alla colazione, tutto è estremamente curato.

Cara Celeste e caro Andrea, grazie. È stato un grandissimo piacere conoscervi e parlare con voi. Naturalmente la "cornice" ha aiutato sia voi che noi ad apparire persino migliori di quello che siamo!
