Well Appointed - Great Location
Four of us had a very enjoyable stay in Lucca. The apartment was in an excellent location inside the city walls and five minutes from a car parking garage. The apartment is a beautiful old building dating back to 1400s, fully renovated, very comfortable and carefully furnished with great sitting room and fully stocked kitchen. Sonia was very helpful and provided very useful information on Lucca.

Nice apartment in great location
Nice 2 bedroom in a great location. Inside the city wall and easy walking distance to the train station. Lucca is small, charming, and a great jumping off point to other parts of Tuscany (Pisa, Florence, Siena, etc.). The apartment was clean and well appointed. Unfortunately, the bicycle tire's were flat. We were told that we needed to walk them around the corner (to a bike shop) to have them filled, but the shop was consistently closed. A little disappointing but not a big problem, as Lucca is easily walkable. Also, there was virtually no toilet paper or paper towel in the room, and we were told that we needed to purchase. Fortunately, we arrived during hours when stores were open. Loved our stay in Lucca and highly recommend.

Clean, conveniently located
Overall, very clean apartment in safe, quiet area of Lucca. Easy walking to shopping and restaurants. Upstairs bedroom is reached only by narrow spiral staircase. Not for the weak or wobbly. Also no dresser or storage area at all in upstairs bathroom. Had to place mirror over bidet to make a shelf for any place to put toiletries. Downstairs bedroom area and bathroom are very nice. Be sure to bring toilet paper, soap, paper towels and all supplies you may need as there is none there. Arrived late Sunday and had to trek out to find store that sold these items. No parking any where near apartment which, I guess, is true if all of Lucca.

Beautiful property. Some misrepresentation (1) guests cannot sit outside (2) no car parking.
Beautiful comfortable property with excellent WIFI and bikes which were a wonderful addition. The first photograph of the property clearly shows seating and a table in the garden area which was a strong factor in choosing this accommodation however it was made clear that it was unacceptable to sit outside. There is no parking available and this can make it awkward. The washing machine did not spin. Having said this it was a magical place and we would go back.

Charming apartment that feels like a townhouse.
We loved the charm of this sweet apartment! Felt like a townhome. We cooked most nights and had the basics to do that. Great quiet safe location — with bikes! We rode them on the wall in Lucca — highly recommended! We would stay again!

Beautifully presented
The apartment is very well presented, very clean and adequately equipped. A small prep knife would be the only thing we could mention that we would have found useful. The kitchen is on the small side just enough space for 2 people to work in. The electric supply is very sensitive and was a little frustrating at times but with careful planning it was easy to coordinate. The upper bedroom does not have air con but there is an electric fan which we found adequate in conjunction with leaving the air con switched on in the lounge. It is worth mentioning most days during our stay it was over 30 degrees and we found the apartment cool and comfortable - except when cooking 😓 😊😊 overall we enjoyed our stay.

Great location!
Overall very nice, we would have liked the kitchen to be better equipped for a month long stay (measurements cup and spoons, saucepans, small bowls, etc.). If mobility issues, there are 4 steps up to main bathroom from living room with another 4 steps down to bedroom. If you need to visit the bathroom during the night, leave the bathroom light on to navigate from bedroom to bath to avoid falling on the steps. Our nightlight was not bright enough to light the way.
Great location for train station and the wall for lovely walks. Pasticceria Dianda is around the corner for morning cappuccino and wonderful pastry. Wifi can be slow at times. Needed to reboot the router a few times when it stopped working. Other than that, the apartment is nicely decorated in a lovely palazzo for a comfortable stay.

Great layout for sharing, close proximity to the train station.
Thank you, Sonia, for a very nice stay! The apartment has a wonderful layout, with many different levels for sleeping. The lower floor has a laundry room and a half bath, along with a small room with a twin bed. The next floor is where you enter and the living room is small, but very comfortable. A few steps up take you to a very nice kitchen which had some basics such as tea and instant coffee which was welcomed. From the hall off the kitchen, you have a choice between the spiral stairs which leads to the ensuite bedroom and bath, or at the other end of the hall, and a few steps down, to a very large bedroom with the bathroom just outside the door in the hallway. The entrance is from a courtyard which cuts down on street noises. A beautiful place with a very friendly and helpful manager, Sonia. She went out and bought bikes for us as they had apparently been stolen! There is a staircase which leads to the garage from the courtyard and it is safe to leave the bikes there. The location is only a block from the wall, with a ramp there for access to the path on the top of the wall. That is also the way to get to the train station, which is an easy walk, even with luggage.

Had to move due to Jackhammer Construction out the window
the apartment itself was lovely and sunny. the living room was quite small and the kitchen was tiny. it was spotless and the beds were amazingly comfortable. Sonia, the property manager was great.
but we had to move after one day as construction directly outside the window in the courtyard was going on all month. WITH JACKHAMMERS. I think the owner should have told us or made it more clear to the property manager. The management company (Sonia) was great helping us move to a different apartment.

Very nice apartment in quiet location near the walls and cathedral
The apartment was very clean and spacious. Mrs. Sophia was very helpful and on time for our arrival. The apartment is on a quiet street away from the noise and traffic of the center of town but easy walking distance to everything. The entrance to our apartment was on a lovely inside courtyard with a locked entryway from the street being the only way to get to our door. There are three bedrooms and three baths. We used the main bedroom and bath just off the living room and kitchen. The upstairs bedroom has its own bath but you have to use a daunting spiral staircase to get up to that level. The basement bedroom appears to be rarely used. There is a washer and dryer on the basement level. The dryer took a long time to dry clothes probably because the vent needed cleaning. We couldn't figure out how to do that. The main bath and bedroom require a small flight of stairs up from the main floor and the bedroom is down some stairs from the bath.That was not a problem but could be if you have trouble with steps. The bathroom is big enough but the shower leaks on the floor and drains very slowly. The kitchen is very nice although we didn't cook. We did keep things in the refrigerator for snacks and breakfast.
The only problem we had was that the wifi only worked about half the time, usually stopping mid day and coming back on in the middle of the night. We tried rebooting the router but that did not appear to be the problem. Also we could not figure out to get broadcast stations on the TV. There was one video for the DVD player and interestingly enough it was the Diane Lane movie "Under the Tuscan Sun". The town is just beautiful and we had a great time.

This apt. is spacious, and within easy walking distance to anywhere in Lucca and the train station.
Suitable at best for one couple, the master bedroom is spacious and very comfortable. The apt. is bright with large windows in each room which do open! Once you understand the rule of "one appliance at a time", you don't have any more trouble with the power shutting down. Sonia, the manager, is helpful and her recommendation of Tau Touring for airport pickup, tours was great.. we hired them several times and were always happy.
The apt. needed a bit of help, so we bought hangars, a radio and coffee Bodum…..and there is no phone so be sure to have a plan. The shower was very good, despite the slow drain and water leaking onto the floor.
The upstairs 'loft' has a pullout couch , bathroom, but no place to hang anything, but we were inventive and found the rail across the steps worked just fine!
Lucca is lovely… many really good restaurants, friendly people and easy to relax.The pastry shop around the corner is delightful.

Otherwise it was fine, bright, well lit lovely high ceilings and a great place to stay.
