Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Centrally located in Lucca, this charming apartment is within walking distance of the Piazza Saint Michelle, Guinigi Tower, and several other hotspots. You'll find shops and restaurants easily reachable on foot, guaranteeing you'll be able to make the most of this beautiful city. The apartment's age is apparent in its stone walls and high ceilings – while it lacks natural light, it'll stay cool even on the hottest summer days. The furniture is very traditional, but the kitchen is well-equipped for large meals and the main bedroom enjoys its own en-suite. For little ones, your host can provide a free cot and high chair, making it a breeze to stay here as a family.

Home truths
The home is located within the walls of Lucca. Traffic is limited within the historic town centre and you might be unable to park near the home.
Your host can provide a free cot and high chair here if you're travelling with little ones. You may need to request these in advance.
There is a stone staircase with a handrail leading to the entrance of this home, with no lift in the building.
This home is in an apartment building in a central location, so there is a chance you might hear some outside noise at times. This shouldn't be disruptive though, thanks to thick stone walls and windows.
While we love the overall design of this home, it is lacking in natural light.
