"The apartment was absolutely perfect and exceeded our expectations in every way. The apartment was spotless and the host was extremely helpful, welcoming, and available for any questions. The balcony offered stunning views of Lucca and the distant Tuscan mountains. The location is fantastic. Everything you need is within a short walk. Lucca offers great restaurants, shops, and even gelato right across the street. The historic city wall path is lined with lovely trees and benches. We loved exploring the rich history, local culture, and nearby sights including local Puccini concerts. An exceptional stay in every way ! Highly recommended !"

Fabio, the bartender at the bar provide us excellent service and was always working hard. He’s a great representation of what good customer service should be.

"Perfectly situated inside the wall, very near Porto Elisa. I was in Lucca for a month and was taking Italian at LIS. It was a 5 minute walk to school. Only a block or so from the wall, which is beautiful. Paola and Vicnicio have created an amazing space with everything you might need. Paola responds immediately if you have a question and makes you feel as if it is your home. There is AC in the main bedroom (I was there for the entire August heatwave) but she will teach you how to keep the apt cool. Super close to the Conad for groceries, and it’s easy peasy to get to the train station. Filled with light and a VERY happy home."
