Photos and Description of the Lucca vacation apartment rental
Elegant and comfortable apartment in the historic center of Lucca

Elegant and comfortable apartment in the historic center of Lucca only a few steps from the city walls.

It is situated on the second and final floor, the rooms of this beautiful 'period' apartment open like a flower: the noble 'Tessieri' pavements act as a union between the connecting rooms: the Kitchen, the dining room and the living room for the time shared together; three bedrooms and two bathrooms where you can relax.

There is 120 sqm filled with light, and a beautiful view towards the gardens of the internal courtyard. It's spectacular to open the windows in the springtime and enjoy the pink colours of the tree in bloom.... to walk downstairs on the walls of the city shaded by the 'century old ' trees of which the colours change season after season .... will be a true pleasure! The walls of Lucca, our special and unique garden surrounding the town for 4.5km, are at 100m. Shopping facilities, museums, bars and restaurants are within 2-3min walking.

Apartment description:: The apartment consists : of an entrance hall, a dining room with a table seating up to 6 persons, a fully equipped kitchen with window, a salon, 2 double bedrooms, one twin bedroom, one bathroom with tub and shower, one bath with basin and wc.

Further details:: Lucca is an ideal location for a winter break. The climate is often dry and cold in the winter which makes it a pleasant time for sight-seeing ,and the popular sights in Florence and Pisa are far less crowded than in the summer. Lucca is lovely before Christmas and good for shopping, both in town and at the various designer outlets 40 - 60 minutes from Lucca. Viareggio, only 20 minutes by train or car from Lucca, plays host to the second largest carnival celebrations in Italy. This is usually in February/March over four weekends and well worth seeing.

Visit the markets: antique and arts and crafts, the 3rd and 4th weekend of every month, the traveling market every Wednesday and Saturday

“La Strada del Vino” (the “wine tasting” road): the road for food and wine tasting connoisseurship for agricultural businesses of Lucca’s hills, local wine and oil tasting.

Further activities:: Opera: Giacomo Puccini was born right here! There are many opportunities and occasions during the year to listen to the masterpieces of the famous musician.

Summer Festival: A summer release of live concerts of international artists in the historic Napoleon Square.

The” Lucca” September: a month of cultural events, both religious and folklore. The 13th of September is not be missed: the entire city accompanies the “Saint Volto” in an atmospheric and charming procession along the streets of the historic centre.

Murabilia: a market/exhibition of mostly rare plants and flowers, held annually in the month of September on one of the most beautiful bulwark of the cities walls. Enriched by presentations, closer examinations and competitions regarding interesting themes in this sector.

Comics: the 2008 edition of the Internal release of the comic, of animated films and illustrations and games marked more than 100 000 passionate fans: not to be missed! Held in October/November.

Lovely apartment in wonderful Lucca

5 of 5
Submitted: October 20, 2009 Stayed: October 2009
We are so pleased we chose this lovely apartment. We had a wonderful warm welcome from Giovanna & Francesco, they even met us from the bus station and took us to the apartment. It is in a wonderful location, a good size, very clean and pretty.

We enjoyed sitting around the big dining table (6 adults) in the large open plan kitchen/diner. The beds were very comfortable, the linen was very good quality. The weather turned cold, but there were plenty of bed covers to keep us warm. Heating was extra, but the owners were fair and took meter readings and invited us to look at the meter.

Around the corner is a bread shop, there is little shop selling cheese, water, wine etc across the road.
We recommend you hire bicycles, ride around the wall. We also found a busy and very reasonably priced local restaurant, 5 minute walk, Trattoria da Leo, near Piazza Del Salvatore, plenty of atmosphere. We found Lucca to be one of the nicest places we have visited in Italy and we have been to quite a few cities. It is very clean and hospitable. We hope to return one day and would stay in this super apartment. Thank you Giovanna & Francesco.

This was a beautiful and well located apartment which exceeded our expectations. We found the pictures and information on the website to be accurate and the apartment was even better than we imagined.
Francesco and Giovanna were very helpful throughout the whole process from our enquiry through to leaving the apartment on the final day.
We were very grateful to Giovanna who met our daughter on arrival in Lucca at the train station and for providing us with lots of useful information.
Many thanks to Francesco and Giovanna for sharing your wonderful apartment and city.
Tony, Paula, Samantha and James.

Charming, relaxing, wonderful apartment!

My Mom and I had a fantastic stay in this apartment in Lucca. The apartment is exactly as pictured and described. You can easily walk from the train station (although beware if you have heavy luggage like we did the apartment is on the top floor with no lift). Giovanna met me for check in, showed me the lovely apartment, and shared valuable information about Lucca. She was so welcoming and kind. It is walking distance to all of Lucca and the train station for day trips. We slept so soundly in the dark and quiet rooms. The apartment would be great for a family as well. Lucca is a town not to be missed. The only surprises were the fee for internet time and heat, but they were small and not that big of a deal at all in the end. The hot water for the bathtub doesnt quite get up to American standards, but that is typical in a lot of Italy. I would recommend this place to anyone! I would, and hopefully will, stay here again. Wonderful!

Lucca is a beautiful place to stay and the "Puccini apartment" is ideal to spend a beautiful holiday in the Historical Centre of Lucca. It is at few steps from "Napoleon square" and "S. Michele square", very close to the wonderful Walls. The apartment is very nice and the bedrooms are very spacious, it is perfect for 6 people. Giovanna and Francesco were very helpfull and they met us at the train station and showed us the place.We would like to come back, thank you very much.

Nice apartment in Lucca

4 of 5
Submitted: July 12, 2011 Stayed: June 2011
My family and I spent a week at this apartment in June. We enjoyed our stay very much. There are so many great things about this apartment. First, Giovanna was a wonderful host. Very helpful and friendly. The apartment was nice and very clean. It looks exactly like the pictures and is very roomy. Also, the location is great within the walls of Lucca.

One downside is how hot it got in the apartment. You need to keep the windows open all night and with no screens, we got eaten by mosquitos and it was very loud. The teenages who hang out at the corner bar stay up very late!

Overall, I would recommend this apartment and I would definately recommend renting from Giovanna.
