Typical style house in one of the historic streets in the center of Lucca

Just a few steps from the walls, the holiday home "The Torsello" is the perfect place to discover the city and feel at ease in a typical house in Lucca. The house is independent, on two floors, with 2 bedrooms, 1 living room with sofa bed, 1 bathroom small but functional and cozy, courtyard, sleeps 5. It is overlooking Via del Fosso, one of the most emblematic streets of the city inside the city wall. Expertly renovated maintaining the original finishes: the stained concrete floors, ceilings and walls with beautiful nineteenth century paintings and Art Nouveau. It breathes a unique atmosphere that takes the visitor to the ancient charm of the quaint cottage in Lucca, without neglecting the comforts of modern life. Furnished with typical Tuscan furniture that give authenticity and charm of the house.
Ground floor: entrance hall, kitchen with appliances and utensils, sitting area with TV.
Mezzanine: small bathroom with shower (functional and welcoming)
First floor: two double bedrooms: one overlooking Via del Fosso, the other with a small terrace overlooking the courtyard. Living room with sofa bed for any additional bed that opens onto a large terrace on the Via del Fosso, a characteristic street which derives its name from the ditch (Ditch fact) that runs adjacent to the current road and that once served as protection walls that surrounded the city.
The water of the ditch also served laboratories silk along the way. The house is named after the lot where was placed the raw silk.
Stroll along Via del Fosso can breathe the true spirit of the city, but also to visit the many places of great interest. A few meters away stands the port of SS. Gervasio and Protasio, one of the many doors that allowed the thirteenth century, and permitting, access to the core and the oldest of Lucca.

Quaint and historical

Unique with original stone stairs, painted ceilings, feel of Old Italy but modern a/c, wi-fi. Little balcony overlooking the “Ditch” could enjoy the sights and sounds. Easy walk to anywhere in the walled town. Great location. Enjoyed our stay in Lucca

Unique and wonderful stay in an "art museum" in the historic part of Lucca!

The apartment in Lucca is so utterly unique that it's hard to compare it to any other we've stayed in. Situated near the edge of the historic part of Lucca right on the canal, its location couldn't be better. The building itself is old but has been lovingly restored and looked after by its owners. The artwork, done by the owner, is utterly stunning and the decor in the whole apartment is just as interesting to look at as the city of Lucca itself! Because it is a character apartment, it lacks some of the conveniences of a newer building (such as a large updated bathroom or kitchen) but in this case, it's worth the sacrifice! We would stay here again in a heartbeat!

A recommander

Nous avons passé un très bon séjour dans cette maison décorée avec goût. Propre, confortable, bien située. Très bon accueil. Seul petit bémol: il faudrait un double vitrage pour les chambres donnant sur la rue.

Wunderschön und liebevoll eingerichtet - 5 STARS!

Die Ferienwohnung ist wundervoll eingerichtet, mit viel Liebe zum Detail und sehr stilvoll. Besonders beeindruckend sind die von den Eigentümern selbst gemalten bzw. restaurierten Deckenmalereien und der durchgängige toskanische Stil in der gesamten Wohnung. Es sind auch wertvolle und solide Armaturen in Küche und Bad angebracht. Wunderschöne, kühlende Steinfußböden, wie sie für Italien typisch sind, runden das Ganze ab. Alles war sehr sauber. Man hatte durchaus das Gefühl, die ersten Feriengäste überhaupt dort zu sein! Die Wohnung ist mitten im Zentrum von Lucca innerhalb der Stadtmauer gelegen. Alle Sehenswürdigkeiten, die prachtvolle Stadtmauer, Geschäfte, Kirchen etc. ist fußläufig zu erreichen. Die Vermietern Elisabetta ist sehr zuverlässig und freundlich, alles hat wunderbar geklappt. Wir haben alle Informationen von ihr erhalten und sie hat schnell auf Anfragen per Email reagiert. Wir haben selten eine so schöne Ferienwohnung gebucht mit einem guten Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis - deshalb 5 Sterne!! Vielen Dank, Elisabetta für den schönen Aufenthalt in Lucca

Comoda e bella!!

Il nostro soggiorno al Torsello è stato molto confortevole: la casa è accogliente, in pieno centro storico per cui non è necessario l'uso dell'auto. I proprietari sono stati cordiali e disponibili, ci hanno consigliato delle gite da fare intorno a Lucca ed anche ristoranti carini in cui andare ad assaggiare le specialità toscane. Unico neo della casa il bagno,decisamente piccolo e con una doccia poco funzionale. Nel complesso è stata una bella vacanza che consiglierei a a tutti! Alessandra

Insolita……da scoprire!

Ho usufruito di Casa Il Torsello insieme ad altri 3 amici. Posizione ottimale sia per visitare Lucca che i dintorni. Grazie alla vicinanza alla stazione ferroviaria, abbiamo raggiunto facilmente Viareggio per il corso mascherato di Carnevale. Pulizie ottime e proprietari disponibili e simpatici. La consiglio a tutti.

Stupenda!!! Consigliata

Ho soggiornato con la famiglia con due bambini, ho trovato la casa veramente stupenda appena restaurata e curata nel minimo dettaglio per mantenere uno stile d'epoca, bellissimi gli affreschi e l'arredamento. Pulizie ottime. Proprietari gentilissimi e disponibili per ogni esigenza. La casa si trova in una posizione ottima, in centro città a due passi da tutti i servizi. Ci ritorneremo molto volentieri. Consigliatissima. Rapporto qualità/prezzo 5 stelle tutte meritate!!

Wohnung mit Stil und Charme

Die Wohnung ist mit viel Liebe zum Detail geschmackvoll gestaltet und eingerichtet. Wir haben besonders die vom Vermieter selbst kunstvoll bemalten Wände und Decken bewundert. Alles ist sehr sauber und gepflegt, die Vermieter sind herzlich und hilfsbereit. Mit ihrer Lage in der Altstadt von Lucca ist die Wohnung ideal für die Erkundung der Stadt, den Besuch von Theatern, Konzerten und Restaurants. Da der Bahnhof auch nur ca. 10 Gehminuten entfernt ist, kann man diese Wohnung auch gut als Basis für die Entdeckung anderer Städte in der Toscana nutzen. Auch an die Küste gelangt man ggf. unkompliziert und schnell. Wir kommen auf jeden Fall wieder!
