About this property

THE MEDIEVAL PENTHOUSE, Indulge among History in a Luxury 5 Bedrooms Apartment

Engulfed by world-famous history, this regal, contemporary apartment with a lift is located on the second piano nobile of this Lucca-based palazzo dating back to the 1200s. Geometrical lines and French windows lead to private intimate rooms with tranquil views of the surrounding medieval buildings and the Guinigi Tower next door. Take a short, scenic walk to the Amphitheatre Square (the oldest Roman Arena today one of the most famous Italian landmarks) and discover a new favorite gelato or espresso spot. Meet your loved ones for breakfast in the formal dining room while gazing upon the ancient buildings of Lucca that line Via Guinigi. Enjoy air conditioning and WiFi while deciding upon the day’s sightseeing plan. Or just hit the streets and wander. San Giovanni church with its bespoke Puccini Concerts, Piazza San Michele, San Martino Cathedral, and Corso Garibaldi are within 5 minutes. A vibrant atmosphere drifts from one frescoed room to another at this beautifully restored piano nobile apartment in Lucca’s Medieval District. Set in the 12th-century Palazzo Guinigi, once the formal residence of the Lords of Lucca, the apartment offers a taste of life in an era of grand entertaining—along with plenty of modern comforts. It’s across from Via Fillungo and next to the Cathedral area, a few minutes walk from the city’s best-known sights. The private living room overlooking the city is the perfect spot for an afternoon spritz and snack while watching the city pass by. The fully equipped kitchen is the perfect place for foodies while the grand dining table is ideal for experiencing cooking classes with a local chef thanks to the in-room kitchenette. Don’t miss the Venus bath: the medieval bathroom of the Lords is now converted into a SPA room featuring a Jacuzzi hot tub to pamper yourself in warm bubbling waters after a day of sightseeing. The apartment’s double entrance leads to a pair of elegant salons that show off its scale and style, with original paintings twining up the walls and colorful frescoes gracing the ceilings. Today, they’re set up as a formal living and dining room whose wooden floors are covered with antique and modern furniture. Off the living area, find a fully equipped 21st-century kitchen, where light-colored cabinetry echoes the delicate tones of the frescoes in the other rooms. The apartment's five bedrooms likewise balance a charming, bucolic elegance with chic modernist touches. 3 suites have king-size beds, one has 2 large-size twin beds and another one has two twin beds, all featuring ensuite bathrooms orned by Carrara marble from the Michelangelo cave. Discovering Tuscany using a car or train can’t be easier: either safe car parking and the Lucca train station are between 5 and 10 mins walk away. From there you can explore the best-kept Italian secrets, such as Florence, Pisa, San Gimignano, Cinque Terre, Volterra, Bolgheri, Pistoia, Montecatini Terme, Livorno, Viareggio, Forte dei Marmi, Chianti, Garfagnana and Siena.Wifi speed: 83 mbps

Und wieder könnten wir sechs Sterne ****** vergeben für eine tolle, helle und moderne Ferienwohnung mit einem super Blick aufs Meer. Die Wohnung ist klimatisiert. Am Abend sitzt man mit einem Glas Wein auf dem Balkon mit Blick aufs Meer, toll. Die Vermieter sind wie Familie und haben uns " gepampert " und uns ein rundum Wohlfühlpaket geboten. Das Meer ist nicht sehr tief, geht max. bis zum Oberkörper und der Strand ist schön. Wir waren nun zum zweiten Mal dort und sind 2026 wieder da. Vielen Dank an Miriam, Konstantin und Michael.

Medieval penthouse

I thought it as very beautiful and accommodated our family’s needs very well. Perhaps a bigger coffee pot. There were 7 of us and only two Italian coffee makers for 2 cups and 4 cups. Other than that tutto bene!

Perfect for exploring the beautiful city of Lucca

A beautiful, well appointed apartment in a great location. Perfect for exploring the beautiful city of Lucca. Manuel, the Concierge was particularly helpful prior to departure, recommending some good restaurants and suggesting a walking trip in the hills of Lucca with the wild trail guide company - a great day out.

Excellent apartment looked just like the pictures and the amenities were great, we enjoyed our stay

Liked the apartment, very well decorated and had everything you needed. The location was excellent, close to shopa and restaurants and about 15mins walk to the train station. Couldn't have asked for a better stay. Keep up the good work, can't think of any changes or improvements.

Excellent apartment wonderful place & time

Wonderful apartment huge, exquisite decoration and yet homely for our party of ten (five couples). Thoroughly recommend it, location excellent within city walls with many superb restaurants & attractions within an easy stroll. Absolutely no down sides . Only thing….we only had four sets of keys for five couples needed comms between us to ensure access if we weren’t all together. But honestly lovely holiday in superb apartment- great support and info, appreciated!

The penthouse apartment was amazing

The penthouse apartment was amazing, beautifully decorated and furnished. Our stay was extremely comfortable and the agent kept in touch to make sure everything was going smoothly. Lucca is a beautiful unspoilt city, with great transport links for getting about. We did without a car for the week and didn’t miss it at all. Would definitely recommend!

Our family enjoyed 3 nights at this fabulous apartment in the heart of Lucca. There was plenty of room for 5 adults and 5 children to spread out and enjoy all of the amentities. The apartment was just a short walk to many restaurants and Via Falungo - the main shopping area. Elizabeth was extremely helpful when checking us in and gave us many tips to navigating Lucca. Lucca is our family's favorite spot in Italy and this apartment couldn't have been more perfect! Thank you so much for allowing us to stay in such a beautiful place!

A wonderful place

Our family of 9--grandparents, children, grandchildren--spent a week here and loved the apartment with its 5 bedrooms/5 full baths and two salon areas and two kitchens. The street is a quiet one but very close to any attraction. Our hosts were great and very prompt in answering our texts/calls/emails. The apartment, named "The Medieval Penthouse" was immaculately clean and beautifully appointed with artwork, frescoes, and murals. Would definitely stay here again. Thank you again kind Chiarra and Elizabeth!
