Live the magic of Lucca’s historic center in a real stunning 11th-century tower

Live a dream in the heart of Lucca!
Very bright and located in the historic center of Lucca, this 11th-century medieval tower was once home to the architects who built the Cathedral of San Martino and later the bell ringer’s house. Perfectly preserved and furnished with original antiques, it combines history and elegance with modern comforts such as fast unlimited Wi-Fi, air conditioning, and heating throughout.
Enjoy wonderful views of the Cathedral and the ancient city walls from every floor. Each of the three large and spacious bedrooms has its own unique character, with handcrafted Italian beds, new high-quality mattresses, private bathrooms with original details and hydromassage showers, and living areas with antique furniture and panoramic windows.
The ground floor features an original medieval arch, now opening into a welcoming living and dining room and a fully equipped kitchen. A wooden statue of Pope Alexander II, former Bishop of Lucca, dominates the stairway landing.
At the foot of the bell tower, a small private outdoor space invites you to relax. Private parking space just in front of the house.
The vacation home is soundproofed and features a kitchen, 3 bathrooms, and a patio. There's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms and a dining area. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. The bathroom offers hair dryers and slippers. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and a safe. Housekeeping is available on request.

Staying in Lucca this is a must!

We love the medieval tower and Lucca. The location was amazing to lots of little restaurants and a little café just right across the way. We traveled many places, Rome, Florence, Capri Cinque Terre, Pisa and Lucca was my favorite spot to call home from the hustle of big Italy. The home with so unique! Roberto and Giuliano are fabulous hosts! Excellent communication and so kind & helpful. I highly recommend if you go to Lucca stay here! Easy to find from the train station and easier to love

Incredible historical property in Lucca

Felt like stepping back in history into medieval times but with modern comforts. Would definitely stay there again. Note, if you are going to be driving, make sure your car is on the small and narrow side as you have to drive through very narrow old streets to access the property.

Best Rental Ever

My family was absolutely blown away by this property. It was stunning, an incredible location, and such a comfortable place to stay. My family of 6 was very happy there. The only downside was how sad we were to leave. Great comfortable beds, great showers and impressive air conditioning. The location was such a dream. Hope to stay there again soon!

A magical holiday apartment in a great location in Lucca.

The apartment has a decor fitting its medieval origin but is totally modern in all ways necessary for a traveler. We kept finding new touches that showed how well the renovation was thought out. The location is perfect for exploring the old city. It is truly a comfortable place to return to after an active day touring.

Fantastic

We had a wonderful stay at this property and it was perfect for our family of four. It truly felt like we were staying in a medieval castle. The villa is lovely and well decorated. The location was excellent. Being able to park right outside our door was so convenient. Roberto & Cristina were very helpful. They met us outside the walls to show us how to get to the villa and provided a lot of information about restaurants, activities, etc.

BELLISIMO!!!!

We had a fantastic experience staying in the "Tower". Despite being built in the 1200's it had all the amenities we could ask for. The location is amazing. Giulia could not have been more helpful. She met us at arrival and departure and helped with questions throughout our trip. Fantastic experience. Can't wait to go back!!

Authentic Italian Stay

Loved this property. The only reason I didn’t give it an overall 5star rating were lots of stairs and would have liked to have a relaxing living room area instead of a dining table. I would still recommend to anyone who is ok with that.

Magic in Lucca

This is not an apartment, it’s an incredibly detailed and perfectly-located experience. Hard to describe it, everything inside is done just right and is largely custom or one of a kind. The townhouse adjoins the Duomo tower and you are an arch away from the Duomo entrance. It looks out onto a large square along the side of the cathedral, that was quiet and private the entire time we stayed. Location couldn’t be better. Beds and bedrooms and very comfortable, bathrooms are fully custom and follow the style perfectly. Showers are wonderful and all have supplemental jets. Sinks are rough stone, with faucets mirroring the fountain lions of the piazza in front of the cathedral. Even the wirings runs for the lighting are perfectly and beautifully crafted. Could go on. Giulia met us and showed us how to drive in and park (right in front of the townhouse!). She was also wonderful when we needed some help. A wonderful treat for the kids and for us at the end of our trip.

Incredible 7 Star Stay in Lucca

As wonderful as the pictures make this property look online, it is even more spectacular in person. I would give this place 7 stars if I could. Every meticulous detail has been considered to maximize the enjoyment of the property - amazing mattresses, air conditioning in all the rooms, even the quality of the bath towels (softest ever!). You can tell a lot of thought and love was put into the renovation of this tower to turn it into THE "wow" place to stay in Lucca, a place that seamlessly blends the old (as in 500+ years old) with the new. Roberto the owner was incredibly responsive to us leading up to our stay with all my questions, and his assistant Giulia warmly helped us from the moment we arrived until we left with anything we needed. My kids gave her a hug before we left! My wife and I stayed with our 10 year old, 8 year old, and 3 year old, and staying here was one of their favorite memories from our trip through Italy. All the best to Roberto and Giulia - thank you for such a wonderful memory in Lucca!
