Well placed B&B
The position of this B&B is great, in the old centre of Lucca, surrounded by great places to visit and good restaurants. The place itself is charming, a little run down but everything worked. There was no toilet paper in my bathroom, which was disappointing. But the breakfast was very good.

Charming, clean, comfortable, great location. Fabulous breakfast offerings. Finding it was tricky because I was depending on my phone map but the host was very helpful when I called with questions and offered to drive with me to park in their very safe gated lot. Really sweet staff. Great stay.

We loved our stay! The one recommendation is to scope out your driving route ahead of time. DO NOT let GPS guide you! We ended up in the wrong area! Other than that, the staff helped us get there once we found our way back! When you park on site, they will set it up so you don’t get fines for driving in the permit zone.

Lovely guesthouse located in a great part of town. Room was spotlessly clean and the small balcony was an added bonus. Unfortunately due to Covid breakfast wasn't available, but a refund was issued for the inconvenience.

Very good, very friendly and helpful staff. Getting there is a bit confusing since you have to drive through limited zones, but the hotel takes care of this by registering your car with the local authorities on arrival. Excellent location at a reasonable price! Good breakfast.

Great stay at nice B&B
I had a great two night stay. The room was clean and large. It wasn’t hot enough for air conditioning so I slept with the window open and woke up to birds chirping. I was happy with the location as b&b was less than a five minute walk from restaurants, bike rentals and the main entrance to the city. It was less than ten minutes to most of the other landmarks, except the train station, which was a 20 minute walk as it was on the other side of town. Staff was pleasant.

It is very nicely located and near the bus stop and walking distance to central Lucca. My only complaint was that it was chilly; I would have enjoyed a little heat in the room. The breakfast was superb and the staff very friendly and helpful.
