Beautifully Renovated Apartment Inside The Walls With Large and Sunny Terrace

A stunning and spacious apartment on the second floor of a historic building. Recently renovated, with original wooden beams and terracotta floor throughout.

The sitting room and kitchen-dining room have French windows which open onto the large terrace and a separate balcony. These face south and overlook private gardens. They are furnished with a table and chairs for al fresco dining, with wall lights for the evenings.

The large sitting room has two sofas and a 40 inch wall-mounted 3D TV with international satellite channels, a DVD player and an i-pod docking station. There is wi-fi internet access throughout the apartment.

The large and elegant kitchen-dining room has as its centrepiece a stunning range, including chimney and original stone sink. It is equipped with dishwasher, electric oven, gas hob, drinks fridge and separate fridge-freezer, washer-dryer, microwave, toaster, kettle, cafetière and cooking utensils.

The two bedrooms each have double (king size) beds and there is a double sofa bed in the sitting room. There is also a single foldout mattress.

The bathroom has both bath and shower and an illuminated mirror, wall-mounted towel rail and wall-mounted and under-basin cupboards.

The apartment is equipped with fans, including ceiling fans, and all windows are fitted with mosquito nets (very important in the height of summer in Lucca!).

The apartment is centrally located within the ancient walls in a quiet street next to a coffee bar (very handy for breakfast pastries and coffee!). It is just two minutes from all the amenities of Lucca, including restaurants, the main shopping street of Via Fillungo and piazzas, with the best gelateria in town on nearby Piazza San Salvatore! It is also just five minutes walk from the bus station, 10 minutes walk from the train station and five minutes walk from the tourist information office where you can rent bikes. Cycling on the walls is a must and the best way to see the city!

Please note that traffic is restricted within the city walls and if you drive there you will incur a fine. However there are public car parks 10 minutes walk from the apartment just by the city walls.

Bedding, towels and beach towels are provided. There are also a travel cot and child's car seat in the apartment.

A deposit of 300 euros will be taken by the property manager on arrival to cover breakages and damage.

Please note that guests are required when checking out to pay for gas and electricity consumed during their stay. Please be aware that energy is relatively expensive in Italy.

Enjoyable stay
We were very pleased with the apartment, spacious, well-equipped and in a good, quiet location. It was helpful to have tea, coffee, sugar and condiments provided as well as a welcome bottle of wine. Our first time in Lucca which has plenty to offer, all within reasonable walking distance, so our choice of apartment was a good one.

Not completely as advertised
Comfortable beds, beautiful decor, lovely outdoor space. Best part about this property is Tanya, the property manager! Location is ok - on a fairly quiet street, but across from a hotel and the bedrooms overlook the street, so noises can be heard as guests come in and out or talk outside the hotel. VRBO listing does not state that renters will be charged for gas and electricity and that should be stated up front. There is also standing water in the kitchen sink and outdoor balcony so lots of mosquitoes inside the property - something we didn’t see anywhere else in March. Lastly, the apartment was not cleaned as it should have been between renters, so we spent a lot of time cleaning or not using certain things (like bar fridge in kitchen) because we didn’t want to spend vacation time cleaning any more than we already had. This is a solid 3.5 to 4 star rental, but not a 5 star. It could be with adjustments made.

My 2024 stay in Lucca
The apartment is beautiful, comfortable and in a great location. There are great restaurants within a five minute walk in any direction. Tanya was the perfect host, quick to respond to any needs which were few and her advice was impeccable. This was my second month-long visit to Lucca but my first stay within the walls. It was an experience that I will never forget and highly recommend.

Beautifully restored apartment in historic center of Lucca
The owners of this apartment clearly poured their heart and soul into it, turning a previously abandoned space (as shown in the photos framed in the kitchen) into something beautiful and full of character. From the tile flooring and the exposed beams and ceilings throughout, to the absolutely unique kitchen, the apartment makes for a memorable stay. The beds are very comfortable, plenty of linens were available and the outdoor dining table was enjoyable on the non-rainy days of our stay. We greatly enjoyed the proximity to stores, restaurants and the various sites that Lucca has to offer. Thanks to the owners for a great trip to Tuscany!

Lucca experience.
Excellent location. Great apartment with outside space. Thankyou Tanya for great information. We would also say thank you to your taxi driver on the way back to airport took as to tower. This is a well placed apertment with everything one requires for a self catering holiday. We loved eveything about it. We got used to the stairs which increased our fitness. A little bit of shade on the terrace maybe an umbrella would have made it brilliant for eating in the morning. Cannot recommend this area enough very friendly people. So helpful.

Excellent customer service great location and accommodations
We just retired and my wife and I absolutely loved this apartment everything in Lucca was just outside the door. Loved sitting on the terrace in the morning and evenings. We stayed for the entire month of May and had a fantastic experience. Tonya does a great job of sharing great “day trips” tips and the Lucca train station is just a 15-20 minute walk from the apartment.

The apartment is perfect -great location, well appointed, comfy beds, spotlessly clean and has a beautiful balcony which we loved. Information and communications were excellent at all times. Lucca is wonderful city to spend time in - history and culture to see, delicious food aplenty, city walls to walk and the most delicious ice creams we have ever tasted. Thank you - we have fallen in love with Lucca and would love to stay in this apartment again.

My spouse and I very much enjoyed our stay here. The apartment was quiet, centrally located, and had all the amenities and comforts we needed. The property manager - Tanya - was super informative and helpful. Only sorry we weren't able to take full advantage of the porch during warmer weather. Would definitely return.

Great property in a lovely location
We stayed in the apartment for 10 days. It is within walking distance of all of the walled city and the train station. The property is clean and well managed. It is accessed by stairway only; two and a half flights. There is a lovely balcony with a table and plenty of light in the apartment.

Excellent Apartment in Lucca!
This apartment is perfectly located in the heart of everything that Lucca’s historical area has to offer. David was very communicative prior to our arrival and very helpful when I had concerns about the fluid situation w/Covid. David’s property manager, Tanya, went up and beyond to make our stay perfect. The check in process was quick and smooth. She offered many recommendations and was helpful through our stay. Never a bother, but always quick to communicate when we contacted her. We would highly recommend this apartment and hope to return next year!

convenience and comfort In Lucca
My sister and I had a wonderful one week stay in this lovely apartment! The stairs were not nearly as difficult as I had feared because there are only 8 or 9 steps between each landing. (I am 71 and don’t exercise like I should and managed fine) Also they are not as steep as some I have encountered in Italy. That said, the apartment would not be suitable for someone with mobility issues. The beds were very comfortable, nice bathroom with good water pressure and good lighting throughout. We didn’t cook much but there were ample dishes, pots and pans if one is so inclined. We loved the balcony (nice and sunny- but we did not see an umbrella for the table...we also didn’t ask about it because we were enjoying the sun). The location is great- quiet also. We had a car and found free parking outside the wall....about a 15 minute walk. We come to Lucca often and hope to stay in this apartment again.

great apartment with everything we needed. the apartment is better than the photographs can show. we loved spending time relaxing there. Tanya is a great property manager, she showed as all we needed to know about the apartment . the information and links she gave us were invaluable. She got the balance just right by leaving us to get on with our holiday but was clear we could contact her if we needed to or to get more local information. we are looking forward to returning to Lucca and this lovely comfortable and interesting apartment . wonderful city.

Special Spot in Lucca
Really well-renovated, beautiful, and completely equipped (hair dryer, first aid kit, shopping cart, dishwasher) flat in a great location. The icing on the cake was our exceptionally well-informed, friendly and helpful local host, Tanya, who made reservations for us, gave us personal tips on where to eat, what to do, and the local culture. I can't imagine having such a great stay without Tanya's help and support. I have already started recommending the flat to my friends!

Charming apartment.
Our local contact made everything easy with her warm and thorough orientation to apartment and area, including wonderful activities inside and outside walls. The apartment served our needs well with comfortable bed(s) and plenty of storage and extra pillows, pleasant living room, deck with view of rooftops and trees and swallows, workable kitchen and bath. Lucca is such a walkable little city and the apartment was situated close to so many restaurants and shops. For those with difficulty climbing stairs, be aware there are 39 steps. Doable for my husband and me at 71, but a stair master workout none-the-less. We would definitely recommend this charming apartment to family and friends—a find in all respects!

Fantastic property inside walled city.
The accommodation is fabulous and very well equipped, there was nothing we wanted that we didn’t have. We used the apartment for a cycling holiday and it was just perfect. There are great bike shops to rent high end road bikes and the surrounding hills are a dream to ride. The apartment is just inside the walled city and everything you need is on your doorstep, ie shops, restaurants and of course the unique wall. Communication prior to and during our visit was excellent. We would certainly go back and I recommend this great property.

Fabulous two weeks
We could not have picked a better place to enjoy Lucca, in particular and Tuscany in general. The location was perfect. The owner consistently communicated with us for more than 3 months. Nothing was left to chance. He supplied us with information about every aspect of the apartment, Lucca and Tuscany. We were able to use his information to plan excursions as far away as Orvieto in Umbria. His manager was available for any question. The apartment was appointed just as described. We were four adults and had plenty of room to move around and relax. The beds and seating were large enough and comfortable. the kitchen was well supplied and there were plenty of paper products, etc. available. Usually, when we travel with HomeAway/VRBO, we end up having to buy something for the apartment to make our stay easier....not here..there was nothing missing! Excellent, excellent, excellent.

Best little apartment in Lucca
While visiting my Brother and his wife in Lucca for four days, we stayed at this lovely apartment. It is well stocked, lovely furnished, a great combination of historical features of the building and modern appliances. Tanya was a great help with many suggestions for us while we were in visiting. Will definitely use this apartment again next year when I return. (Only negative is the strong cat urine smell in the stairwell).
