Modern comfort in Lucca's Picturesque Canal District

Situated within an 11th-century building that was once part of a medieval fortress, Casa Janca overlooks the tranquil canal with its quaint bridges, which still offer a picturesque crossing over the ancient stream.

The adjacent square, lined with charming cafes and bespoke restaurants, invites you to savor the flavors of Lucca.
