For special occasions, we prepare a romantic package on the terrace with flowers and small gifts.

Beautiful apartment is quiet part of town

Andrea and Alessia were wonderful hosts and provided us with a list of recommendations in town. The apartment is on a quiet street and was perfect for my husband and I. It was clean and had everything we needed. We absolutely loved Lucca and will be back!

Andrea was a most amazing host from start to finish. We didn’t need much because he had the place so well equipped but when we needed him he responded immediately. The place is very comfortable, beautiful and in the perfect part of town. I highly recommend both Andrea and La terrazzo di Sofia.

Very nice apartment

The apartment is very nice and nicely located in the charming old town of Lucca. The check in was very welcoming with lots of tips for the stay. The entrance of the apartment is at the top of few charming but steep stairs. The roof top terrace is a big plus, with nice city views.

Charming apartment in fabulous location

We loved our stay in this charming apartment! It was perfect for our family of 4. The kids loved their upper level rooms. The apartment is located on a quiet street. We enjoyed evenings on the terrace, watching the birds on the rooftops. It was perfectly located, less than 10 minutes from the train station and an even shorter walk to the center of the walled city. We loved it!

Beautiful quaint apartment

Pros: Apartment is so close to the train station, only about a 6 minute walk so days out sightseeing and train transfers to and from airport were so easy. Bakery, restaurants and shops are all within a short walk. Roof terrace was a lovely feature. Cons: The sofa bed was very hard and we had to try and pad it out with blankets as it was uneven with ridges.

Lovely house in a beautiful location

Pros: The view from the terrace and accessibility to train station to see top sites in Tuscany.Enjoyed walking around the walls, wandering the streets of Lucca, park run, antique and flower markets and going to the opera. And of course the delicious food. Cons: The beams were quite low and banged head several times. Could do with a handrail going up to the terrace.

Beautiful Apt in lucca

Loved Lucca and loved the apartment, but the five flights up was a killer. NOT for the faint of heart. This should be clearly disclosed in the description of the apartment. With that said it was lovely and spacious. the rooftop patio had an amazing view which we loved.

Lucca - Perfect Apartment!

We stayed in Andrea & Alessia’s beautiful apartment for 3 nights in October; it was very comfortable, great beds, hot showers. The coffee machine is amazing and very high quality. Steps from the walls to walk 4km around and 15 min walk from train station. About 2 min walk to nearest cafe, 5 min walk to nearest restaurant. Has a lovely rooftop terrace we had wine and charcuterie every evening. Perfectly located. ** be aware there are ~ 3x15 steps up to the apartment; was doable with luggage even tho I’m out of shape, but a consideration if you have mobility issues. Wonderful stay and look forward to staying on my next trip to Lucca!
