With a great address in the heart of Lucca with its well-preserved Renaissance walls, this studio-style apartment is an ideal city retreat for two. Step out onto cobblestone streets, and you'll find an array of restaurants within a short stroll. Or music lovers can visit Casa di Puccini, where the famous opera composer was born. With such a fantastic location, you may hear some street noise during your stay. Unlike many studios, this apartment has a separate kitchen – though there's no oven, there's a hob and microwave. There are plenty of character features here, and the tall ceilings give a sense of space. We love the modern four-poster bed, too – this place is ideal for a romantic break.

Home truths
You won't find an oven here – though there is a hob. We think the kitchen is better suited to prepping lighter bites than large meals.
The bed is in the living area.
If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot and high chair for free. You'll need to request them in advance.
Given the home's central spot, expect to hear some street noise throughout your stay.
This home is 270 metres from a local supermarket, while a larger store is 450 metres away. The bus station is also 450 metres from this home.
You won't find a welcome hamper or basic essentials here, so we'd recommend packing some bits and bobs to get you started.
