Lucca Holiday Rental Apartment in the historical medieval old town

The apartment (of about 80 sq. meters) is at a 1st floor (not ground floor) of an old palace. It is suitable for max. 3 adults + one kid. It is well equipped and nicely furnished. In the kitchen there is a dishwasher, microwave, oven, electric cooker hob, fridge etc. Not far from the shopping area, the apartment is located in the heart of the historical centre of Lucca, Medieval area.
The city centre is extremely well preserved and the apartment is well situated inside the city walls in a building in the historical heart of the old town.
This is a new, beautifully renovated charming flat with all its original features intact. It has a bright, elegant reception room with dining table for 6, satellite T.V. and Wi-Fi.
The location of this property makes the flat quite unique: It is in a very up-market area of Lucca, literally minutes from the legendary Amphitheater and some of the best shops, cafes, bars and pubs. If you enjoy walking or riding bikes, there are some great walks on the Lucca walls. In the summer it is great fun ambling around watching groups playing softball and having picnics or using the wall restaurants and enjoying concerts. There is a rent place with bikes to hire just around the corner from the flat.
The train and bus services take you everywhere you will want to go and it is such a fun way of seeing the country from the bus/train! Transport to and from the airports is very easy.
PISA AIRPORT : bus takes approx. 45 minutes.
FLORENCE AIRPORT: express bus, which runs a. every 60 minutes, takes 60 minutes.
Additional unregistered guests (i.e. those that have not been made known to owner at the time of booking) are not permitted without prior approval of the owner.
The apartment is to be used exclusively for residential purposes. Parties, business meetings, photo/film shootings, etc. without prior approval are prohibited.

ENVIRONMENTAL CHOICE
Plastic bottles are a big problem in our towns – as they tend to clog our waste bins allover Lucca - . We suggest our clients not to buy water in plastic bottles. The taps water in Lucca is perfectly drinkable (controlled by the City Authority) and there are many “fontanelle” (public water taps) allover the town, for instance the fountain at the beginning of Via della Zecca, with high quality tap water coming from the near hills and mountains.
The owner is personally involved through membership with several environmental activity organization.
Choosing my apartment in Lucca or Pietrasanta make you also an environmentally sensible choice.

Lucca Stay
Tommaso was an excellent and attentive host who went above and beyond. The location was excellent as well and made it easy to find my way around. A small note-The rooms were scented which was not an issue for me but may be for someone allergic to fragrances. You may wish to check with Tommaso.beforehand.

Wonderful Apartment
We had a wonderful stay in Lucca. Tommaso was a gracious host. He drove us to and from the train station and offered advice and information on what to see and do in Lucca. The apartment was spacious and clean and well equipped with everything we needed. The location was perfect for exploring and near to restaurants and shopping. We hope to return and highly recommend the apartment to family and friends.

Family Trip in Lucca
PROS - inside the walls of Lucca, which is near all attractions - well equipped with everything one needs for a longer stay - Great butcher, coffee bars, pizzeria, kid’s playground nearby - Easy access to fortifications where one can go for great family walks - Natural spring water fountain down the street - Owner speaks good English and is easy to communicate with CON - Apartment feels very cold (March/April) and the heating solution (radiators) is not appropriate for a family with young children. We were told that there is some Italian regulation that prohibits raising the heating temperature above 19 deg C, which feels cold especially for a family with two young children. If one raises the temperature above 19 deg C the system is designed to cut off hot water. There is one air conditioning with a heat pump that can provide heating; however, this is only for the main room and while it is ON you can’t use any other appliances in the apartment as it will trip off the main breaker for electricity. We have travelled through out Italy and this is the first time experiencing limitation with heating - Electricity restrictions in the apartment that prevent you from using more than one appliance at a time. This should have been in the description of the apartment as it severely limits one’s ability to cook a decent meal in average time. For ex., using one stove top element and the oven at the same time trips the main breaker - Hot Water temperature is not regulated well

A perfect ending
After a month in Italy, we finished with Tomasso’s wonderful help. He was patient and kind when we had online trouble from our end. He was flexible, accommodating, and in a very short time, felt like an old friend to us. We hope to see him again. Lucca was beautiful and alive. We adore Italy and hope to return.

Lovely Tuscany home base in Lucca
My friend and I based our Tuscany holiday inside the walls of Lucca and loved every moment. Tommaso is a lovely host, pleasant and even offering us a ride from the train station and back with our luggage. The apartment is steps away from many excellent restaurants, shops and the walls. We rented bikes several days, as well as enjoying walks along the Lucca walls. Train station is only a 20 minute walk Or a short bus ride for excursions to Florence, Pisa, but our days in Lucca were probably our favourite. Thank you, Tommaso, for a lovely apartment stay and all your recommendations & helpfulness!

This apartment was the highlight of our Italy locations. Tomasso was so very helpful to us and even gave us a brief history of the city. The apartment had everything you could think of, including original, signed art on the walls. The apartment was close to everything! Lucca is a special place. We will be back!

A brilliant apartment in beautiful Lucca.
The apartment is superb and tastefully furnished and decorated. It was spotlessly clean and had everything one could hope for in a rented holiday apartment. The apartment is perfectly situated in the walled city. Access to public transport is easy. The owner, Tommaso, could not have been more helpful. Highly recommended!

Our time in Lucca
My friend and I had a wonderful time in Lucca. Tomasso is a charming host, who met us at the train station and gave us a ride back there at the end of our stay. His apartment, thoroughly modern, in a building from the 13th Century is quite spacious for a stay of any length of time. Tastefully decorated. Quite convenient to small bakeries and grocery stores, as well as coffee shops and gift stores. Christine and I were able to walk to many attractions within the walled city; the location of the apartment, with the use of a map, is nice. Quiet at night. We liked it very much.

Much much more
This sparkling apartment was much more than I expected. Not only was it comfortable and filled with all the extras that can help guests feel at home. Most importantly though was the attention that owner Tommaso showed me before, during, and after my stay of 2 weeks. He made certain to tell me about two special musical events, and I was very happy to attend. He made sure that I knew the best way to travel to Cinque Terre. He picked me up at the train station upon arrival from California and then helped me catch the bus when leaving. Please consider this apartment when you go to Lucca. You will be totally pleased as was I.

We had a wonderful week in this clean, comfortable, spacious and well located apartment. Tommaso was so friendly and helpful, picking us up from the station and taking us back at the end of our stay. Everywhere within the walls was in easy walking distance and we found some lovely restaurants and delightful local shops. Walking to the station took about 15 minutes and there were direct trains to Florence and Pisa. Thank you Tommaso for a fabulous week. Terry

Our stay with Tomasso was fantastic. He picked us up at the bus stop in Lucca and drove us to his apartment. Location is fantastic. Apartment is very well appointed and well stocked with kitchen basics. He told us about nearby restaurants and bars. He is charming and helpful and made us feel so welcome. At the end of our holiday he drove us to Pisa airport. We would definitely go back to his apartment. Thank you for a great holiday.

Well Appointed Apartment in A Quiet Street
The flat which is inside the city walls is very comfortable and has everything you need for a stay in Lucca. As light sleepers noise is something which was a possible source of concern but the street is quiet with the main bedroom to the rear. It's well located in the eastern side of Lucca and everything is within easy walking distance including the mains streets and the city walls, great if you want to avoid hiring a car and not so far from the railway station if you want to travel further afield. Tomossao is a delightful host who arranged to both pick us up from the railway station and indeed take us back on our return. We would definitely consider staying here again or perhaps in his other apartment in Pietrasanta. Great value and hard to find a fault

Pure Tuscany experience
We enjoyed 2 wonderful weeks to celebrate our 25th anniversary. This beautiful appartment located in the historic center of Lucca was perfectly equipped with everything we needed and even more. We felt at home right away. The appartment is perfect to explore Lucca in all it’s beauty. Everything is in walking distance (grocery shop, backery, the city walls, train station). Lucca is the perfect starting point to explore Tuscany‘s famous cities (like Siena, Florence, San Gimignano, Volterra or Pisa) and landscape. Also visiting La Spezia and Cinque Terre is absolutely possible. Tommaso, the friendly owner made sure that everything was cared for. Even before we arrived he invested time and effort that we find a place to park our car. He was eager to answer our questions and was very helpful. We plan already to come back. Mille Grazie!
