We are fully committed to your safety and are following CDC and WHO cleaning guidelines. Additionally, since it is believed that coronavirus can survive on certain hard surfaces for up to five days, we are implementing an industry-leading five-day turnover time between guest stays to ensure that no guest can be inadvertently exposed to coronavirus. We will also provide hand-sanitizer for all guests and will leave cleaning materials in the apartment for your convenience. We look forward to welcoming you in Lucca!

Appartamento Jacopo is a beautiful top-floor apartment in a lovely historic palazzo. This apartment features a spacious living area with a charming loft bedroom, large ensuite bathroom, and second bedroom/bathroom with its own private entrance. You can always ask me any questions before booking via vanessa at luccatravels[.com].

The apartment is located in a quiet courtyard just 100 meters from Via Santa Croce, one of the main streets that bisects the center of town. Access to the top floor is provided by an elevator and a stairway of approximately ten steps.

Upon entering you will be greeted with the apartment's tall ceilings with exposed wood and tiles. The living area features tasteful antiques and the loft-level bedroom. From the windows you will overlook the lovely courtyard below.

The kitchen features granite countertops, refrigerator, cooktop, and bar. It is fully equipped with new cookware and serving pieces for six or more people.

The bathrooms are beautifully decorated in red marble tile with skylight and is equipped with a shower and/or bathtub, sink, toilet, and bidet.

The bedrooms are equipped with air conditioning and are furnished with all new 160 thread count 100% cotton linens, your choice of down or synthetic filled duvets, and your choice of synthetic or down pillows.

This apartment's enviable location makes it ideal for exploring all that Lucca has to offer. Since it is located in the physical center of the historic center, all of Lucca is no more than a few minutes away on foot. From here you can explore the amazing boutique shops that line Via Santa Croce and nearby Via Fillungo, visit the city's museums, theaters and concert halls, eat at any of the dozens of excellent local restaurants, and, of course, go for a leisurely stroll on the city's astonishing (and enormous) city walls. Being flat, Lucca is very bike-friendly and bikes (and pedal-cars) are inexpensive to rent for the day at any of a number of local shops.

Lucca is also the perfect city to explore all of Tuscany. Lucca uniquely combines an important mix of ingredients that we believe you'll find nowhere else in Tuscany. Its location is perfect for exploration: 30 minutes from the Leaning Tower and Pisa International, 30 minutes from the beaches of Viareggio, 45 minutes from the mountains, 60 minutes by train to Florence, and an easy 1-2 hour drive to Siena, Volterra, and the rest of Tuscany.

However, Lucca remains relatively underappreciated by tourists and is decidedly less overwhelmed by the throngs of tourists who populate places like Pisa, Siena, and Florence. The Lucchese - like most Tuscans - are also extremely friendly and welcoming people. These features make Lucca an excellent home base for your Tuscan adventures, and as certified Italophiles, we enjoy working to help you plan your excursions and find the best secrets that Lucca (and Tuscany) has to offer.

Perfect!
Vanessa was the perfect host and her apartment was exactly as described. Conveniently located within the walled city of Lucca, the apartment is cozy and charming. Antique furniture creates a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The cucina had everything we needed during our stay with a market within easy walking distance. So much better than staying at a hotel!

Old world charm at its finest
We arrived in Lucca after a week’s stay in Florence. My daughter and I are travel buddies and had never been to Lucca and decided after hearing everyone’s praises we would visit! My daughter found the property at the last minute and we felt very fortunate to rent the property! The property manager, Vanessa was wonderful! She was to pick us up at the train station but we had a delay so we just chose to walk the easy 20 minutes to the apartment! The apartment was furnished with everything listed and she even left a bottle of wine for us to enjoy!! We will return to Lucca and will definitely stay in this apartment again!!

Amazing Lucca & Vanessa
We were so charmed by Lucca and this wonderfully charming home away from home. From the moment Vanessa took us into her care via her communications we knew we were in good hands. Such a lovely renovated home for our base in Lucca. Thank you! We wished we could have stayed a month, we hope to be back for that in the not too distant future. Thank you!

Wonderful
The appartment was very attractive and comfortable and the location amazing. Vanessa was a wonderful host and helped whenever she was asked and was a big support when I lost my passport. I would strongly recommend the appartment as a comfortable place in an ideal location and not to be forgotten, the help and support from Vanessa.

Beautiful comfortable ,quiet historic apartment full of character in the heart of historic Lucca
We had a wonderful holiday in this lovely 3rd floor apartment, with lift .. Well equipped, comfortable and met our needs and expectations, second bedroom a little small but nothing to concern us. The position is ideal being tucked away in a quiet courtyard just off one of the bustling streets in the centre of this historic town. Shops, restaurants all just round the corner, Lovely walks round the walls.Excellent recommendations from Vanessa on shops and restaurants and bakeries etc. Wonderful weather and very relaxing what more can one ask for a lovely holiday.

This Apartment is Amazing!
I booked the Jacopo Apartment for 28 wonderful days, out of my 6 weeks holiday and Lucca was truly the highlight of my trip. During the 1st part of my stay in Lucca, I had my family come and stay for 2 weeks. A dream come true for me, a Family Holiday in Tuscany! and Lucca, the walled city was the perfect place for this. There were 5 adults and my granddaughter (6 mo. old). There was plenty of room for all of us. The apartment was amazing, clean, exactly as stated in the listing. Excellent location, well stocked with everything you could possibly need. Vanessa even had arranged for us to have a baby crib and baby chair (hooks onto table) for my granddaughter, that was very much appreciated. The apartment was a great place to come home to after long day trips to Florence, Cinque Terre, Viareggio, a bike ride to Pisa or just exploring Lucca. The 2nd part of my stay, was on my own, where I really felt like a local. Walking the wall everyday, sometimes bringing a book and sitting, taking the garbage to the street on garbage day, I loved that!..or just walking around Lucca, buying food at the markets and deli's, where everything is so close, literally, just around the corner. The 3rd part of my stay, I had 3 girlfriends join me. Now, I get to play "host" and show them beautiful Lucca, Florence, etc...Vanessa kept in contact with me the whole time, making sure everything was perfect, new bedding, new towels , beach towels etc. Her map of Lucca and recommended places to eat and visit made it so easy to enjoy the best of Lucca.! Both the train station and the bus station are an easy 15 minute walk from the apartment, that was so handy! I would highly recommend this apartment to everyone, families, friends, girls getaways or just being by yourself. I loved my 28 days in Lucca, will never forget it and cannot wait to return...Vanessa, thank you for making my stay so wonderful!

Absolutely matched our needs perfectly because of its central location and internal courtyard
Talk about going back in time! My goodness, it was stunningly ancient and all the more valuable to us because of that. I had expectations of Frette bed linen and so on which was, frankly, ridiculous and IKEA sufficed for our stay. The stairs can be challenging if the lift (elevator) is full so please be aware of that. However, it's on the stairs and in the courtyard that you meet the residents and that represented another wonderful surprise and would make me want to return. It's possible one or two may come to Ireland since our encounters and I would love that. Vanessa is the epitome of kindness, humility and professionalism. We wanted her to come back with us to Ireland also but why would anyone want to leave Lucca or Italy. Ridiculous suggestion! The fact that we could walk everywhere was such a bonus and Vanessa's list of restaurants, and trattorie was perfect. We went everywhere she recommended and were thrilled. The kitchen is down a few steps as is the small bedroom with 2 single beds so, again, for anyone less active that might be a little challenging. Just so you're aware. There is nothing more to add except please pass on my very best wishes to Vanessa if and when you meet her and I hope you have the time of your life in Lucca.

Could not have been better!
We stayed in this rental for 5 days with friends. The house was warm, inviting, and very well appointed. Everything we needed was there, including some things we didn't expect, like basic condiments for cooking, and tons of travel maps with suggestiong on sites in the area. The two bedrooms are very different, one large loft with bathroom, and one very small bedroom with a bath very nearby. Very comfortable in every way. The hostess, Vanessa, was over-the-top helpful and kind to us, even meeting us at the gate of the walled city, where we had to park our car, and walking us right to the apartment. This was a great stay, and we were all sad to leave the place. We'll be back! The walks around the top of the wall were stunningly beautiful, and the shopping and dining in the little city were extremely enjoyable.....
