With oodles of space and a picturesque garden, this Lucca apartment ensures your downtime at home is just as enjoyable as your adventures in the walled city. Committed to modernity, it’s a white-walled, high-ceilinged haven that fosters a sense of calm and ease, while pops of bright colour and plenty of green plants bring a touch of vibrancy. Take afternoon tea in the armchairs out on the deck or fling open your bedroom doors and embrace la dolce vita with a bottle of Prosecco at the charming balcony’s table for two. There’s dedicated gated parking here, too, meaning you can effortlessly hire a car and set off for a Tuscan wine-route escapade. But there are plenty of attractions right on your doorstep as well. The home is in a central yet quiet part of town – it’s just a one-minute stroll to San Francesco, a Gothic-style church, while Guinigi Tower is a seven-minute walk. If you want to take some snaps of Lucca Cathedral – it’s twelve minutes on foot, or use the free bikes provided by your lovely host.

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...
