I cannot say enough about this property. The host family are awesome and sooooo accommodating! They helped us the entire trip organizing tours, getting around town, getting lost, and an amazing property with 2 bedrooms, two full baths with modern shower etc, and loft sofa bed, fully stocked kitchen appliances, full guide for city written by host with everything you need to know and get around Lucca. The location is literally across the street from the walled city entrance. The bathrooms have hair dryers, flat iron, hair products, beard trimmer, heated towel rack, great air system, coffee pot which is rare, and we cannot say enough about our hosts. My travel partner got lost behind the wall when trying to parking the car (which is literally one block from apartment) and our host hunted for her for over an hour to get her safely back. Those round abouts are complicated ! Any way we cannot praise this enough with only draw back was it is on 3 rd floor of beautiful building with no lift (elevator) … now don’t panic like me cause their Dad or brother will carry your bags up and down for you … we were traveling for a month so we had big bags and are in our 60’s so we’re over whelmed by stairs…. Now if your are handicapped or have cardiac issues this is not the place for you …. Otherwise look forward to buns of steel after staying there for 10 days !! And great new friends with the host family!

We loved staying at this very comfortable apartment in beautiful Lucca. Renata and her son met us on arrival with a lovely homemade cake. They were very welcoming and provided lots of useful information. The apartment was perfect for our family of four, it was well equipped and in a great location with easy access to a public car park (if needed) and a short walk into the old centre of Lucca. The train station was a 10 minute walk and so visiting other places such as Florence and Pisa was simple to do. We had a fabulous time and would gladly stay there again if we return to the area.

Super location for access to Lucca and to branch out north or south throughout Italy. Stayed 7 weeks with multiple family groups and lodging served our purpose perfectly. Host and her family all were great, helpful and knowledgeable and made it easy to stay. Only reservation, and this was circumstantial was noise of the location due to proximity to road, work within and next door to the property and at the end preparations for upcoming comic-game huge convention. Even so I would stay there again.

At times trips take a different direction from what was intended. My daughter found herself hospitalized due to a health emergency. Renata and her husband were helpful in every possible way. Grazie Renata, you are an awesome owner and you know how to help your guests. Alla prossima ritorneremo di sicuro! See you soon, we will be back!

Beautiful stay at this apartment, the apartment is very clean and the host is lovely. She is very helpful with whatever you will need and provides lots of recommendations. We only had a short stay in Lucca however it was most enjoyable due to the beautiful apartment and host.

I took my soon to be eighteen year old daughter away to Italy for the first time. Lucca had been recommended to us and we found the location of this beautiful apartment to be perfect. Far enough away from the hustle and bustle of the city but close enough for easy walking and access to the train station. It truly felt like a cool, tranquil haven after a busy day of walking the cobbled streets. Modern, beautifully decorated/furnished and well equipped. Renata was so helpful and welcoming and provided some great recommendations during our stay. She even chased us down the road to the train station on our departure because we had left sunglasses behind! An all round fantastic experience which I would love to repeat!

Three of us stayed in the apartment: my partner, her father and me. The accommodation is spacious, clean and ideally located just outside Lucca’s ancient walls. It also has AC which was a godsend during our late June holiday. Renata was the perfect host: baking a cake to welcome us (gratefully received post-midnight after a Ryanair delay); responding in a timely manner to my many WhatsApp requests and providing us with insightful restaurant recommendations - even making bookings on my behalf due to my limited Italian. Thanks again, Renata. See you next year!

Great communication from property manager, clean and great space. Perfect walking distance to Lucca.

The loft was clean and as described. The location was convenient to get to and from the train for day trips but yet had easy access to the core of Lucca. Our host was communicative and welcoming. She provided lots of suggestions for our stay. I would recommend this to any of my friends and family travelling to Lucca.

The apartment was sparkling clean and convenient to the buses and train. It was equipped with everything we needed to cook with, if we cared to. There's a great supermarket within walking distance. There was an entrance into the wall surrounding Lucca right across the street. Our host greeted us upon arrival and her husband thankfully carried up our luggage the 51 steps to the apartment. Yes. I said 51 steps. She had prepared a wonderful cake for us to enjoy, which we did. Her responces were quick and helpful. We would definitely stay there again.

What a wonderful experience staying In such a lovely apartment. It was very well appointed, comfortable and the location was perfect. Our hosts were so very gracious and accommodating. I wish we could have stayed another two weeks in Lucca. It’s a lovely town.

Lucca is such a lovely place and Renata is a very friendly and welcoming host. Shortly after arrival in Lucca we were met by her and her husband. Check in was smooth and easy. They helped us with our luggage up to the cute and beautifully decorated apartment. Every room ist exactly as beautiful as you can see on the pictures. Renata offered helpful suggestions for restaurants and activities in and around Lucca. We had a very nice week and would always recommend this place and come back for another trip in Tuscany.

The apartment is on the top floor, 51 steps to climb each time you return to the property. Could do with another sofa or more comfy chairs as there was 5 of us and only 4 comfy seats. Other than that the apartment was very well equipped for everything, kitchen utensils, chrome cast television, spacious accommodation. Lovely decor, bathrooms very clean and a wonderful powerful shower. Offices on the floor below so no noise at night times. You could however hear the cars on the street as the property is situated on a main road.

Everything went well. Highly recommend it. You don't need to look around further. Enjoy it.

Excellent location and wonderful host. Easy walk to the center of Lucca and parking is convenient and easy. We would certainly recommend this property to anyone! Do note that it is a third floor walk-up but we found the home to be very comfortable and as described. Thank you!

Utterly wonder stay in Lucca. Apartment is beautiful - comfortable, cosy but with lots of stylish extras! Location is outstanding and hôtesse was welcoming, warm and gave us excellent trips! This is a place I’d return to, something I don’t often say!

Beautifully appointed apartment. Robust travel books and tourist information and so close to everything in Lucca.

A great-sized and lovely apartment located in a great location right outside the walls of Lucca.

Renata’s apartment was a great place to stay. It was directly across the street from one of the entrances to the old city. Renata and her husband met us at the apartment and spent at least a half hour showing us the apartment and orientating us to the area. She left us a tort that was delicious and said that she was available by phone for any questions or needs that we might have during our stay. The apartment was fantastic. The kitchen was fully equipped with all necessary items and the entire apartment was tastefully decorated. Renate even made dinner reservations for us on the night before we left. The apartment is within driving distance of Viareggio, San Gimignano, Siena and many other locations in Tuscany. I would highly recommend this property for a great stay in Lucca.

Though outside the walls of Lucca, this fantastic apartment could not be more convenient. Across the street from the entrance through the walls, you have the benefits of proximity and the quiet away from the streets of the downtown. Comfortable, spacious, clean, welcoming place to stay. Also walking distance from the train station. Your hosts are great as well. Enjoy Lucca.

The accommodations were quaint, clean & comfortable in every respect. Renata was so helpful & attentive to us throughout our stay. We were directly across the street from the wall which was so convenient. Our time there ( 2 weeks) was easy, relaxing & enjoyable. I would highly recommend this apartment for 2-4 people traveling. It was great to have 2 full bathrooms

Lucca is really a lovely city in the heart of Tuscany. The old town is beautyful, italian food might be the best in the world and the ice cream is outstanding. :-) But there is so much more to explore. And the wonderful apartement from Renata is the perfect spot to do that. It is located just outside the old town, so you just have to cross the street and go throgugh the big wall to reach the heart of Lucca. The apartement is beautifully furnished. All rooms have an aircondition which is really a must if you visit Italy in summer. Its clean and has everything you need. The bathrooms seem to be new and perfect. A real plus are the tips of the hosts. Its always great, if you know a local to find the right spots, restaurants and views. So we followed many of Renatas tips and that was a really good idea. We had the best ice cream, the best restaurants and great trips to different places in the Tuscany. So all in all: The apartement itself is great. It is located perfectly. Renata is super nice and her tips are great. If we come back to Lucca - for example the next Lucca Summer Festival - we will stay again here. I cannot imagine a better place. Thanks Renata for the great week we had at your house! Best regards, Mischa and family

Excellent, charming, friendly reliable and informative host. The apartment is quite clearly a source of pride and the decor, cleanliness and design of the apartment reflect this. The pictures are very accurate. This place is lovely. It is at the top of a couple of flights of stairs and there is no lift so anyone with accessibility issues would struggle. There is also some traffic noise when in the front bedroom but nothing that would cause me not to return. The location is excellent. We went to see a show at the summer festival and the apartment is 5 minutes walk away from the Piazza. Also a 5 minutes walk away from the train station with great access to many other incredible places this area of Italy has to offer - a great base to explore from. Lucca itself is also a really beautiful place to stay with plenty to do and explore. If I ever return to this area of Italy I will look immediately at the availability of this apartment . Thank you Renata.

We can only agree with the glowing reviews about this flat – they are all true. Although my three sons and I arrived in Lucca late in the evening due to a traffic jam near Milan, we were warmly welcomed by Renata and Gherardo with a homemade cake and provided with lots of tips for restaurants and sightseeing in Lucca and Tuscany. Because the apartment is so large and just as fully equipped as a private flat, you almost feel at home. It was always a pleasure to return to this apartment, which is as tasteful as it is practical, after a walk through the nearby Centro Storico of Lucca. Mille grazie di tutto, Renata!

The apartment is very nicely renovated, had everything we needed. There was public parking very close by also. The location is great, minutes to walk to the gates of Lucca. Renata ,the contact for the apartment made a lovely cake for us and had a bottle of Prosecco chilled waiting for us! She was also very helpful with dinner reservations, directions, and other tips on travel , parking, train information, to local sites that were great time and money savers!

Big thank you to the owners for all the valuable information about Lucca and surroundings. We had a fabulous vacation.The apartment is beautiful and located very close to old town. Thank you again for extra care

This was a wonderful apartment for the four of us. Not only is it in a good location but it is chic, comfortable, and has everything you might need. Renata was a great host and had a delicious cake waiting for us when we arrived. We would definitely stay here again.

I hadn't been to Tuscany for 30 years, so when the lockdowns finished I took the opportunity to revisit this part of Italy. I'm very glad I chose Lucca as a base, and this apartment in particular. We had a lovely time. The apartment is at the top of a 19th-century building, with a traditional staircase up to it. However, while the building is old the apartment is very modern, and has all the things you need for a comfortable stay. There are two very large bedrooms each suitable for a couple (and baby in cot if required), and there is also a gallery above the living room that my son loved sleeping in, as he could watch the TV from above if he wanted. The apartment is light and airy, and in late spring (when we were there) was warm including at night. No need for heating! The kitchen has everything you'll need if you want to prepare meals, and importantly for us has a washing machine and drying rack so we were able to travel with just hand luggage - a big plus for us! Our lovely host Renata even provided us with a lovely welcome cake when we arrived - very tasty! Another plus is the two decent sized bathrooms, which is great with teenagers. The showers were excellent. Even though it is outside the city walls, the apartment is perfectly placed; you are just a few moments from the main southern city gate; it's a great way to visit each day. There are 3 entrances near the apartment so you should try all of them. You might think that the main road and railway is a problem, but actually you can't hear a thing inside even in rush hour. And when the traffic is busy there is an underpass to the city about 50 m from the front door. If you need a supermarket, there is an Essalunga 5 minutes' walk south, and there are smaller supermarkets inside the walls. We chose the apartment because it was very close to the train station (3 minute walk) which is great for day trips. I would highly recommend Lucca and this apartment if you want to do day trips to other places. We were able to do easy day trips to Pisa, Firenze and the Cinque Terre; Pisa is particularly close, and it's about 1 hour from Pisa airport to get to this apartment. Out of Pisa, Florence and Lucca I would definitely stay in Lucca. It's more relaxed! Renata was a great host and provided many recommendations, particularly for restaurants.

Very nice and confortable apartment . Great location next to the city center and the railway station. The host was very welcoming and helpful! We recommend!

You feel immediately at home in this great palazzo and wonderful appartment. Host is so nice and helpful - with great advises for the city which enrichted our Lucca experience a lot. Appartment has everything - even umbrellas which we used on a rainy morning.

The apartment was lovely, really clean and just across the road from Lucca. We had a lovely welcome from Renata who made us a delicious cake. Lucca is a beautiful town, lots to see and great restaurants. The apartment is is a super location for seeing, Pisa, Florence, cinque Terre and other places. Would totally recommend this apartment.
