This antique-filled apartment sits in the heart of Lucca, on one of the city's most reknowned streets. Step inside and you're back in time – original fireplaces, restored floors, and pieces sourced from across Italy. If you want modern and minimal, look elsewhere – if you want authentically Tuscan, this may be it. There's plenty of room to spread out, whether you're travelling as a family or with another group, and the kitchen is well set up for meals at home between days of exploring. And with Lucca's walls, towers, and piazzas all within walking distance, there's no shortage of reasons to head out.
