Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Step into a bygone era with this apartment in Lucca. We love the small courtyard area, while off that you’ll find an elegant living room. This home is packed full of character with its beams and vaulted ceilings – that’s not to say this place doesn’t have mod cons because it does. Each suite is a sanctuary equipped with a flat-screen TV, minibar, and a Nespresso machine – there’s a professional-grade kitchen reserved for the private chef, too. Oh, and breakfast is provided – so there’s no need to worry about the most important meal of the day. And the location? Well, it’s perfect – this home is right in the centre of Lucca with all of its attractions.

Home truths
There are stairs here.
While the professional-grade kitchen is reserved for the private chef, there is a kitchen area with a fridge, ice maker, a toaster, an espresso coffee machine, a microwave and a dishwasher.
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.
Although the hotel is in a ZTL area, so only accessible to residents, it is possible to get permission to get to the hotel to drop off your luggage.
Parking in Lucca can be tricky, so we recommend sticking to easily accessible public transport where possible.
