A perfect place to explore perfect Lucca

The apartment was perfectly located to allow us to explore Lucca, and it’s surroundings. We adapted easily to the quirks of living like a local in a traditional home and loved our Lucca experience so much more because of this. Perfetto.

Enjoyed every minute in our apartment in Lucca

The building is obviously old and that has to be taken into account. But that too gives it a wonderful appeal. Its location inside the walls of the old city is fantastic - close to restaurants and cafes (our favorite cafe, Buralli), the historic Walls and all the lovely sites Lucca has on offer. We found a supermarket and laundromat nearby - everything is within easy walking distance. The apartment itself had comfortable beds and furniture. It oozed charm. We did a little cooking for ourselves and the kitchen equipment was in good order. Because we were athere for some time, lovely ladies came to change bed linen and towels and cleaned once a week. We enjoyed our stay here for the 17 nights we were there and would recommend a stay there.

Loved it once again!

Once again The Lucca apartments Villas team came thru. We had a big group but the three apartments were perfect, in a perfect location, all in the same building just down the street to the ice skating and main plaza. We were able, everyday, to just walk down to the Show where the Puccini concerts took place. No problem to get there, walk from station was short, bus was available and our favorite restaurant that Sonia suggested called GIGLIO was just one small block from apartments. We have stayed in Sonia’s apartments before, always have really like it and this time they had updated the bathrooms, very nice job. We love this area, lots of food, lots of shopping, great transportation. We are not afraid of busestrains. We will probably come here again in Fall, great weather, not as many tourists, lots of fun everywhere. Loved it!

Third time with same Agency!

We travel to Italy every summer and are based in Lucca with my family every Christmas. Given the numerous holiday apartments I have rented over the years, Lucca Apartments and Villas service, attention to detail, consideration of their clients' individual needs, and the quality of her properties surpass any other agency and private owner I have used. Lucca is an enchanting family destination, and both the St Giovanni and Opera apartments that I used were just perfect for our mixed family group, with ample space in the beautiful living rooms and modern kitchens for time together, yet private quiet bedrooms and nice newly renovated bathroooms. The location is absolutely perfect, particularly if you are bringing a car, and both Benedetta and Sonia were the kindest and most helpful hosts I've met in all my years traveling to Italy. Thank you, as always, Lucca Apartments and Villas team!

THANK YOU LUCCA APARTMENTS AND VILLAS!

The apartment is eveything that is promised in the listing, and very much as the photos show. We found it ideal for four. The location was great, far enough away from the masses of tourists but close enough to walk to the 'hot spots' Amphiteatre square', 'antique market' and the new Luc.ca museum of contemporary art which was a lovely walk from the apartment. We loved wandering the narrow streets close to the apartment, dicovering the small eateries and enjoying the quieter side of Lucca. Beautiful violin player outside magnificant church and just the four of us.... magical. The bus terminal is aprox 5 mins walk away, great for daily trips. We found the apartment impeccably clean and all appliances worked including satellite tv with international channels and the high speed wi-fi. The added bonus with Lucca Apartments and Villas apartment is Chiara's welcome and true Italian hospitality. She and her cousin Benedetta are great comunicators, emaiing us to let us know there was a train and bus strike. Our train made it through and Sonia and her cousin met us at the train station and walked us to the apartment! Sonia, having shown us everthing about the apartment, took us to the open markets and around Lucca on her way to home, she really treated us like family. Our memories of lucca will always include their very warm welcome. It is often people that make difference between a holiday and a great holiday experience.

A True Gem in Lucca!

The pictures do not do this apartment justice...it is even more beautiful than shown. The location couldn't be better right in the heart of the walled city close to all the attractions and excellent restaurants. The apartment is spacious and clean and beautifully appointed. The wireless works great as well. We loved staying here and will definitely book it again on a return trip to Lucca. Our family has rented homes for many years in Italy, Mexico, Costa Rica, Australia and the United States and this one rates among the best.

Extremely enjoyable Lucca apartment

The apartment is fantastic! Everything one needs to have to spend time in this beautiful city. An elegant, spacious and sparkling clean apartment in a central area, perfect for sightseeing and to reach the railway station. We were 12 ladies celebrating my sisters Birthday {a special one}. I arranged with the owners to have a cake and wine etc. ready for us as a surprise. It was wonderfully set out on the table. We just walked into a party!!! We had a party in the charming garden of one of the apartments which was perfectly maintained and it was the perfect frame for our celebration. We rented three apartments from Lucca Apartment and Villas, all in the same building and we felt so lucky to have been able to stay in this amazing accommodation. Everything was perfectly kept and maintained and management was so attentive to our needs. Thank you all the Lucca Apartments and Villas Staff!

Excellent St Giovanni apt

We just returned from a two-week stay at St. Giovanni Apartment it was everything we hoped it would be. But the locationtwo minute walk to the main shopping area, less than five minutes to the train stationwas quite incredible! I think we walked to almost every site in town in less than 10 minutes. We typically walked back to the apartment for lunch and downtime before heading out for the afternoon adventure it's so close to everything that was no problem at all. The apartment itself is very cozy and comfortable. The two separate bedrooms are wonderful if someone wants to retire sooner than the other. Benedetta has a great library of art and history books that provide hours of entertainment and fill in holes in your knowledge of Lucca’s history. The apartment was very clean and very warm (it was quite cool this time of year in Lucca). Heating was extremely reasonable, just 6 euros daily less than I expected. Then we did not have to pay for any extra charge. The photos on the web site nicely captured the ambience of the space and appointments- There is no traffic sound at all as cars are not allowed in this area of the town. We cooked the majority of our meals in the apartment. It was easy and convenient and saved a great deal of expense. All the necessary equipment was there we just went to local grocery stores every day to buy our food. There's a wonderful Trattoria called Il Cuore (The Heart!) just around the corner of the church in front of the apartment. We had three meals there that were wonderful and the staff was great fun. Not many tourists, just locals. We were very happy at St. Giovanni apartment and quickly settled in. We would highly recommend it.

Great Location

This property is in a great location. The apartment is lovely and as depicted in photos. However, be aware that the bathrooms appear much larger in the photos. The second bedroom bathroom shower is very very small. The shower stall measures approximately 26" x 26". The shower in the master bathroom requires you to step into an elevated tub that isn't easy especially if you are older. My suggestion to management is to install some grab bars for safety. We did have to have the small lightbulbs in both bathrooms (over the sink) replaced as they kept flickering. By the end of our stay they had blown out again. Electricity and water pressure are an issue in Italy. But, with that said, we love Italy and plan on visiting again but I will take more care when inquiring about the shower situation. Sonia, who checked us in was wonderful and very responsive as well as Manual when Sonia was not available.

Excellent apartment and location, location, location!

Three of us stayed at this wonderful, well-appointed “Renaissance” style apartment, within the historic walls of Lucca. From the Frescos on the ceilings to the view of the church and piazza, everything was fabulous. The Puccini concert evenings are held right in the piazza on the apartment doorstep - could faintly hear the opera with the living room window open! Fabulous memory!

Great place but a little noisy

This was a beautiful apartment and a beautiful city. If you’re looking for serenity and peace, you may not find it. The Piazza in front of the apartment was very busy and there were very loud people outside the apartment until after midnight most nights. Other than that, it was a very nice place. The staff was also wonderful. We arrived very late because of a missed flight, but instead of letting us rent a hotel for the night they met us that anyway. I highly recommend renting properties from this company.

Outstanding Apartment

This is a simply outstanding place in an exceptional location. The apartment is fully air conditioned which was a god send in the stifling summer heat. The rooms were comfortable, the furniture and decor is lovely, the kitchen was very functional and we received timely and very helpful assistance from our hosts whenever required. Thank you for a gorgeous review! We are so happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay and loved the aparment. This is the best reward for our job. We hope to be able to assist you again on a future occasion! Best wishes from all of us

Perfect location in Lucca

We stayed at this lovely historical apartment with our family and for for almost 3 weeks. When we booked it, we had no idea the Lucca Summer Music Festival was happening. What a treat to be able to hear the bands from the windows of the apartments and enjoy listening at the café around the corner. The apartment is equipped with everything you need for a long stay and was nicely decorated. We did have an issue with the air conditioning in the master bedroom, not working as well as the other units but were appreciative to Elizabeth and Alice for helping to get it fixed. They were also extremely helpful with any needs that we had. Will definitely stay here or in another property that belongs to Lucca Apartments and Villas again.

Enjoyable 10 day stay in Lucca

We enjoyed our stay at this Lucca apartment. The property was very clean and comfortable for our 10-day vacation. The location was terrific, a short walk to the wall, to the train station, and only a few steps to the center of town. The church in this Piazza offers wonderful Puccini concerts not to be missed.

This apartment has an amazing location! Steps away from everything. Easy 10 min or less walk to the train station to go on outings for the day. Plenty of room for 4 of us. Sonia met us at the apartment so check in was easy and no stress and it was very easy to communicate with Sonia and the office.

Deilige dager i Lucca

Med sentral og god beliggenhet midt i sentrum av Lucca, hadde vi fire flotte dager i den stemningsfulle byen. Leiligheten var romslig og flott innredet med to gode soverom og to bad. Kjøkkenet ble lite brukt, men inneholdt det meste. Eneste minuset var det trådløse nettet som vi ikke fikk til å fungere. Nettadressen i manualen for leiligheten stemte ikke og det samme gjaldt nettadressen som stod på ruteren. Så det ble ingen WIFI løsning. Ellers hjelpsomme og hyggelige vertinner.
