There's more than a touch of opulence to be found inside this apartment in the centre of Lucca. Traditional artworks and gilded mirror frames line the wall, ornate chandeliers hang from the ceiling and grand beds await for you to sprawl out on at the end of the day. The home's secret weapon, however, has to be the gorgeous view of the bustling Piazza Anfiteatro and a Byzantine mosaic on the façade of the Church of San Frediano out through the windows in two of the bedrooms or the dining room. If you want to feel the breeze upon your face as you people-watch, there's also a Juliet balcony. As you'll be able to see, there's a great range of cafes and markets in the medieval square directly outside, but there are plenty more attractions that sit within walking distance, too. The Museum of Villa Mansi takes ten minutes to reach on foot, while Chiesa di San Michele in Foro lies half that time away.
