Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
You can’t get much closer to Lucca’s walls than this. Set right in the historic centre, you’re just metres from the ramp up to the tree-lined promenade – ideal for a morning walk or a cycle before the cafés fill up. From there, everything else is on your doorstep, from trattorias to small shops tucked into the surrounding streets. Inside, it’s bright and comfortable, with a layout that works well for groups. There’s also a small terrace off the kitchen – a good spot for a glass of wine at the end of the day. For a stay where everything is within walking distance, the location is hard to beat.

Home truths
There's no lift here. You'll need to be able to climb stairs to reach the entrance of the home and to the private terrace.
Given the home's central spot, expect to hear some street noise throughout your stay.
The bedroom curtains here don't fully block out the sunlight. If you're hoping to enjoy a lie-in, you might want to pack an eye mask.
The terrace is overlooked by the building opposite. There's a chance you might see a neighbour or two, so it doesn't feel completely private.

There’s a buzzy nightlife scene centred around cool enotecas and craft beer bars. On Via Fillungo, you’ll find some of Lucca’s finest boutiques, with high-end...
