Discount of £50 discount per person for this week! (Up to a maximum of £200)
This week is aimed at tennis families who may have different holiday requirements. Like all of our Tuscan Tennis Holidays we aim to provide more than just a tennis holiday which allows all the family to get what they want i.e. more tennis or more holiday!
Outwith tennis you are in the wonderful location of Lucca which means you can spend some time cycling around it's walls, visiting the marble mountains of Carrara, seeing the world famous leaning tower of Pisa, spending time on the beach in the Versilia area, or enjoying cooking courses at your villa etc etc. Plus you will have the opportunity to eat wonderful Italian food in many of the local restaurants that your host Gabriella will recommend and even take you to!
Coach Gabriella Testa, who has worked with TTH for over 20 years will host this week along with a team of experienced Italian coaches (English speaking).
After studying medicine for 3 years at university, Gabriella decided to opt for a career in tennis and established herself on the Tuscan circuit.
She now holds the highest coaching qualification in Italy (Maestro) and has worked with Tuscan Tennis since 1994, establishing a great rapport with many of our clients.
Gabriella has no end of talents including being a qualified sub acqua instructor and has just recently gained a diploma in Gestalt psychotherapy. Gabriella is much more than just a tennis coach!
