Tucked into a quiet corner overlooking Lucca’s renaissance city walls, this lovingly restored home greets its guests with a warm welcome. Oak beams and period furniture adds Tuscan farmhouse charm while modern amenities guarantee a fuss-free stay. We particularly love the nods to Italian rococo interior design found in the chandeliers and headboards, adding a touch of opulence to this otherwise quaint and cosy home. When you’re not relaxing on the irresistibly soft sofas, take a short five-minute walk down quiet lanes into the heart of Lucca. Savour creamy gelato in bustling piazzas and devour the region’s most-loved dishes in traditional trattorias. Jump in the car and take the thirty-minute trip to Pisa for its famous leaning tower or drive for thirty-three minutes due west for an afternoon of sunbathing on Viareggio’s beaches. Head back to Lucca to Uncover the city’s history atop the boundary walls before a night of operatic delights at the Church of San Giovanni, a nine-minute amble from your door.

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...
