Great Place

This apartment is cute and in a great location inside the walls of Lucca. The bedroom directly across from the front door has the most comfortable mattress, IMO. The bedroom upstairs has a great view. It really felt like home for 12 days, and I’d stay again in a heartbeat. Also, pack small bags. Carrying a large suitcase up 72 stairs is not an easy task.

Great place to stay

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this lovely apartment although it is 82 steps up to get to it. The location was perfect. It was very clean and charming.

Great location and very relaxing place to stay.

Everything went very smoothly from booking through departure. We were there during the summer concert season and at night we would open our bedroom window and let the music drift in. House was well stocked and management easy to communicate with. Convenient to everything. You should be comfortable with stairs as there are quite a few. Was t an issue for us, but something you should know. We would rent again.

Beautifull location but missing the last

Very pretty appartment in a superb location. Many mosuitoes, very hard to keep rooms cool, power went out twice. Staff didnt inform clearly on check-out procedure, so we waited hours in vain. Half the time during our stay, they didnt respond to our calls, and when we did reach them, there was negative communication. But the place was pretty, central and local

Flott opphold i spennende by

Vi var 3 generasjoner på tur til Italia. Leiligheten er romslig og behagelig. Tårn-suiten er helt spesiell. Selv om bygget er ekstremt gammelt, holder leiligheten en god standard og det er air condition i alle oppholdsrom. Lucca er en flott by å være i med mange gode spisesteder og spennende gater og bygninger. Lett å nå resten av Toscana siden det er togstasjon rett utenfor bymurene. Der kan man også leie en bil.
