Charming Residenza in the historic centre

Charming Residenza right in the historic centre of Lucca, about 15 minutes from Anfiteatro. The rooms were clean and comfortable and we had an adorable balcony where we breakfasted al fresco each morning. Alessandra was delightful. She speaks excellent English and was efficient and helpful. I would definitely stay here again.

SKoselug B&B med stort og fint rom, og med alt vi hadde behov for. God seng. Litt ujevn varme i dusj. Vi ble negativt overrasket over at det ikke er frokost på stedet, og at det ikke inkludert i prisen (B&B!?)

Well-placed comfortable B&B.

Lucca has a welcoming, easy atmosphere. Lovely old town within the amazing wall, everywhere within a walk, and worth walking the wall itself. Excellent restaurants around (rather than in) anfiteatro. No street parking for visitors, but the hotel has a great parking arrangement with nearby (3 mins) underground car park (put your card ON the machine, not IN it).

Qualité prix excellent

on était à Lucca pour écouter le concert de Edoardo Bennato sur la place Napoleon. C'était magnifique et très bien qu'on pourrait laisser la voiture dans un parking/garage, offert gratuit par la Rés. Santa Chiara; le B&B offre un buffet petit déj. très agréable et copieux. Ils sont très bien situé dans le centre, au tour du B&B c'est tranquille. J'irai à nv.

Spacious and comfy room

Alessandra was extraordinarily accommodating. She emailed in advance to ask about our arrival time and need for parking. When we arrived, she provided great assistance with parking our car (included in price) nearby and getting our luggage back and forth from the parking garage. The bedroom and bathroom were the most spacious that we had during our entire 3-week stay in Italy (at hotels in the $70-80 range).
