Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Those visiting Lucca for its rich history will love staying here. This apartment is housed in a palazzo that dates back to the 1200s and was once home to Saint Zita of Lucca. It’s on a quiet street just within the 16th-century walls, adjacent to the Church of San Frediano and a two-minute walk from Piazza dell’Antifeatro and Via Fillungo, where you’ll find the best shops in town. Cosy and comfortable, this is an ideal apartment for a couple or a small family – the double bedroom is on a mezzanine level above the living space, so it’s not entirely private.
