Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
This apartment is perfect for a romantic getaway in Lucca. It’s housed in a prestigious building that was once a cinema, just outside the historic walled centre. The sights of the city are all within easy walking distance, with lots of restaurants to choose from. If you’d rather cook, the apartment is equipped with a contemporary kitchen. We love how this home blends the old and new – it’s ever-so charming, but convenient too.
