Discover history with ease from this home within the city walls of Lucca, just an eleven-minute stroll from the Piazza dell'Anfiteatro. After sipping a chilled limoncello on this bustling medieval plaza, let the lines of the cobbled streets guide you through the city, and to the entrance of your gorgeous apartment. Its modern touches are a welcome contrast to your ancient surroundings. Cream and pistachio-coloured walls create brightness in the lounge, with French windows bringing in yet more natural light to illuminate this elegant space. Scandi-style dining chairs and angular furnishings look distinctly modern, but gilded frames, chunky sculptures, and intriguing trinkets adorn the cabinets. While plants like the cactus bring a 21st-century vibe, more traditional floral features are here to remind you of rustic local landscapes. Admire a gothic church from the French windows as you pop a bottle of Tuscan wine and plan your activities for the day ahead. We recommend a ten-minute walk to the Guinigi Tower – climb to the top where its holm oaks are growing strong. Let your eyes feast on the striking view of towers, the Duomo, and beautifully preserved facades of religious structures.
