Baby blues, greens and yellows aren’t just the colors you’ll be able to see from your open-air roof terrace, but from all the delightful lounge spaces within this home housed in a former palace. Whatever the season, you’ll feel like spring is just around the corner as the light pastel accents around the apartment help brighten up the space while creating a calm and earthy atmosphere. From the turquoise tiled backsplash in the kitchen to the antique-looking coffee table, there’s plenty to marvel at, including the cosy attic room equipped for sleep and child’s play – perfect for the imagination to run wild here. In the main bedroom, you’ll find that the muted green walls and earthy browns help lull you to sleep, whether it’s from a long day out dining on the terrace with the Guinigi Tower (a two-minute walk) as your backdrop and the nearby music school serenading you or exploring the main shopping streets of Lucca situated just a minute away. Elsewhere, Villa Bottini is a five-minute walk away too and Saint Martin Cathedral is three minutes on foot from your door.

Home truths
The lift here is very small and only suitable for one guest at a time with a bag or suitcase.
There's a music school next door, so you'll likely hear some noise at times. That said, many guests enjoyed the opera music while relaxing on the terrace.
The second bedroom is on a mezzanine level. There are no railings around the stairs, so it won't be suitable for children.
The only shower here is accessed via the main bedroom, so privacy is limited.
The host can provide a high chair and a cot for free. However, you will need to have your own cot linen.
Some guests reported that this home lacked a few basic essentials.
The home is located within the walls of Lucca. Traffic and parking are restricted in the historic town centre.
