Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Located in the historic heart of Lucca, this home boasts views of Piazza Napoleone from the private balcony. Whether you’re enjoying a morning espresso or simply watching the world go by below, it’s a great spot to relax and soak up your surroundings. Inside, you’ll find an airy living area and a separate kitchen. And if you’re lucky enough to bag the main bedroom, the four-poster bed awaits. There isn’t a lift here so you’ll need to climb stairs to the fourth floor to reach the front door. If that isn’t a dealbreaker, we think this place is ideal for anyone seeking a characterful apartment within walking distance of the city’s must-see sights.
