You’ll find this cosy apartment within the ancient walls of Lucca. The city's characteristic cobblestone streets are on your doorstep, lined with restaurants and boutiques. And many of its much-loved attractions such as the cathedral, the Guinigi Tower and Piazza Anfiteatro are within walking distance. Back at this home, you’ll be glad it has air conditioning on those hot Tuscan days. We think this home will appeal to lovers of traditional decor and character features – it sits well among this city’s historic heritage.



Tuscan Sunshine

Sitting inside the old walls of Lucca, this home is evocative of another era – it’s the perfect setting to be inspired by the historic beauty of Tuscany. 

With its origins dating back to 1100s, the traditional features of this apartment have been thoughtfully retained – and now it exists as an elegant home for modern living. Families and friends will love gathering here – it’s a wonderful place to relax, socialise, cook and enjoy the small details that make this home truly unique. Like opening the windows onto views across the medieval rooftops, or sipping early evening drinks in the elegant sitting room. Wherever you are in this home, there’s something beautiful to admire. 

Stepping outside, you’ll love winding your way through the city’s iconic streets – the majestic Villa Bottini is right next door to this home while the botanical gardens are only a three–minute walk away. 

The Pink Rose

Bathtub

Boasting stunning views of the town's historic rooftops and medieval towers, this two-level apartment is the ideal Lucca retreat. It’s light and airy with lots of character features, but we should probably mention that the bathroom is a bit dated. And although there’s a lift here there’s still a flight of stairs to climb. We’re sure you’ll love the location here. It’s situated between the vibrant Piazza San Michele and the Via Fillungo, so you’ll have plenty of boutiques and restaurants on your doorstep.

Private Entrance

This Lucca home has been picked straight from the pages of an Italian fairytale. Set within the 16th-century Palazzo Cittadella, this characterful apartment marries history, local heritage and contemporary luxuries – think antique paintings, timber-beam ceilings, ornate chandeliers and tiled floors, with a Jacuzzi bath to boot. The living and dining spaces are the epitome of tasteful grandeur, but we think that you'll spend most of your time exploring the picture-perfect scene on your doorstep: the Piazza Cittadella, lined with cafes and colourful umbrellas. The Church of San Michele in Foro, dating back to the 1100s, is a two-minute walk away, while a five-minute stroll brings you to the Torre delle Ore – climb to the top for some of the Walled City’s best views. If you’d prefer to explore on two wheels, there’s a bicycle rental place 50 metres from your building. And for trips further afield, the historic city of Pisa and Viareggio’s seaside are within half an hour’s drive.

Step off the Piazza dell'Anfiteatro, and into this glorious Tuscan home in the heart of Lucca. With high ceilings, period features and huge rooms, the apartment is dressed as a classic, centuries-old palazzo but it's been brought up to date with a few modern luxuries. Just wander into the fabulous living room and you'll be wowed by the intricately painted ceiling, the antique paintings and the luxurious furnishings. Start your day with a fresh coffee, perhaps in the library, or sat at the table in the traditional kitchen, before heading out to explore this historic city. You're just a short walk from the best sights, and you'll find a food market and the imposing Guinigi Tower nearby. Pick up some local produce and show off your chef skills in the kitchen, serving your meal in the impressive dining room. After dinner, sit out in the square for drinks or take a stroll along the Renaissance walls – the most iconic features of the city.

Fresco Flourish

If you’re feeling short on creative energy, let this unique home be your muse. Surrounded by Lucca’s Renaissance history, you’ll be steps away from the spectacular old palace that now houses the Town Hall and a short walk from the columnar San Michele in Foro church that predates medieval times. Inside the apartment, Tuscan aesthetics dominate, with a palette of earthy colours accented by rusty reds – we especially love the dappled paint effect on the walls and the vibrant tiled bathrooms. An L-shaped kitchen with generous counter space – topped with marble to continue the air of casual luxury – and a dedicated dining room, indicate that this is a home where culinary exploits are highly encouraged. And with the city being home to many artisanal grocery shops, you’re always just a few hours away from your next exceptional meal.

Inside a historic building in the charming city of Lucca, this apartment is the ideal place for your Italian escape. The first thing you'll notice are the elaborate ceilings, which are over 300 years old, providing an elegant, historic backdrop to your Tuscan stay. The cosy bedrooms look out over Guinigi Tower, and you're just a short walk from Lucca's city walls – the perfect place for a morning walk or run. Start your day with a fresh coffee from the kitchen, where you'll find both Italian and American coffee makers, then head out to wander the streets of Lucca, visiting Piazza Napoleone and climbing Guinigi Tower to admire the view over Tuscany. After a day exploring the charms of the local area, come home to prepare a typical dinner in the charming, farm-style kitchen and settle down in front of the TV with a glass of Tuscan red.

Outdoor

In the very heart of the walled city of Lucca, this family-size apartment for four puts restaurants, bars and historical monuments right on your doorstep. But the real standout here is the large outdoor terrace, complete with a lounge and dining area so you can enjoy dinner and drinks alfresco after a busy day spent sightseeing. Overlooking Piazza San Giovanni’s celebrated church and the Cathedral of San Martino, you really couldn't be better set up for a relaxing stay in Tuscany's medieval gem. 

We particularly love the boutique living room with ornate flooring, velvet sofas and striking pieces of art. With the glass double doors thrown open, instantly extending your communal area, the grand dining room is the perfect place for a group get-together. You can take a seat in the chic bar for evening cocktails, or retreat to the elegant bedrooms for a restful night's sleep.

As you come in from the dazzling streets of Lucca, this home is the perfect continuation of your adventures. The decor is a perfect pairing of classic Italian style with sleek, modern features. Follow the beautiful 20th-century tiled floors through the grand hallway and into the generous living room, where you’ll find bursts of colour at every corner. There are plenty of lounging areas to choose from, whether you want to soak up the sun on the chaise window seat or luxuriate on the L-shaped sofa. 

While there is a wide selection of dining options in town, including a Michelin-starred restaurant across the road, you can also get inspired by the local markets and prepare a casual dinner at home to enjoy out on your private terrace. As the sun goes down and the night air comes in, head inside and tuck into the cosy beds so you can wake up to the Tuscan sunrise at your window.

Centrally located in Lucca, this charming apartment is within walking distance of the Piazza Saint Michelle, Guinigi Tower, and several other hotspots. You'll find shops and restaurants easily reachable on foot, guaranteeing you'll be able to make the most of this beautiful city. The apartment's age is apparent in its stone walls and high ceilings – while it lacks natural light, it'll stay cool even on the hottest summer days. The furniture is very traditional, but the kitchen is well-equipped for large meals and the main bedroom enjoys its own en-suite. For little ones, your host can provide a free cot and high chair, making it a breeze to stay here as a family.

Lucca's Lure

Step-Free Access

Right in the centre of Lucca, this apartment's copious amounts of artwork and complementing furniture give it a distinct style. The large windows allow in plenty of sunlight – the perfect way to wake up, if you ask us – and the small kitchenette underneath the mezzanine is a nice spot to rustle up light bites. The stairs leading down from the bedroom lack a barrier on one side, meaning caution might be needed when using the bathroom at night. When it's time to explore, the iconic Torre Guingi is only a one-minute walk, and there are many authentic Tuscan eateries nearby.

Discover history with ease from this home within the city walls of Lucca, just an eleven-minute stroll from the Piazza dell'Anfiteatro. After sipping a chilled limoncello on this bustling medieval plaza, let the lines of the cobbled streets guide you through the city, and to the entrance of your gorgeous apartment. Its modern touches are a welcome contrast to your ancient surroundings. Cream and pistachio-coloured walls create brightness in the lounge, with French windows bringing in yet more natural light to illuminate this elegant space. Scandi-style dining chairs and angular furnishings look distinctly modern, but gilded frames, chunky sculptures, and intriguing trinkets adorn the cabinets. While plants like the cactus bring a 21st-century vibe, more traditional floral features are here to remind you of rustic local landscapes. Admire a gothic church from the French windows as you pop a bottle of Tuscan wine and plan your activities for the day ahead. We recommend a ten-minute walk to the Guinigi Tower – climb to the top where its holm oaks are growing strong. Let your eyes feast on the striking view of towers, the Duomo, and beautifully preserved facades of religious structures.

The Sculptor's Nest

Piano

Single-Level Home

The charming, modern design of this holiday home and its central but quiet location makes it an ideal base to spend your days in Lucca. You’re right around the corner from the Center of Contemporary Art and a short walk from Michelin-starred restaurant, L’Imbuto, so it's safe to say the highlights of the city are at your fingertips. Not only that, but you have all the amenities you need back at home – a full kitchen, laundry facilities, cable TV, a dining setup and more. Enjoy mornings with a serving of frittatas and a cappuccino as the natural light streams through the large windows. Laze the rest of your hours away reading a book from the home library or catching up on TV shows.

Ivory Keys

Courtyard

Explore Lucca from a cosy little love nest right at its heart. This studio apartment can be found in an historic palace – dating back to the 1500s – on Via Fillungo, the city’s main shopping street. You need only walk a few steps to discover a wealth of cafes, restaurants and pizzerias, so you’re never far from your next great meal. Despite its central location, this apartment makes for a peaceful base as it faces a renaissance-era courtyard. 

Each morning, sip your coffee in the courtyard as you plan your day. Will you fill your time with visits to museums and galleries, or soak up the culture of the city through a walking tour? When you return, you’ll be glad to have a comfortable space to call home.

The Inner Light

Nestled in Lucca's enchanting art and antiques district, this cosy apartment mixes contemporary and traditional seamlessly. Tailor-made for two, you can’t help but be charmed by its style. If you feel inclined to cook, the sleek kitchen has you covered – if not, you’ll find a treasure trove of eateries in the local area, ready to serve up a true taste of Tuscany. Keen to explore further afield? The bus and train station are a mere ten-minute walk away – so there’s no need to drive if you don’t want to. 

Lucca Spirit

This apartment is full of charm. It’s conveniently located in the heart of Lucca, close to its ancient walls and attractions like the Guinigi Tower. It’s adjacent to the bus station, so it’s easy to head out on day trips – if you can tear yourself away from beautiful Lucca. The apartment features large windows that look out over the streets of Lucca and fill the home with light. You’ll have everything you need for a comfortable stay here, including two bathrooms. 

Lovely Lucca

Touched with a daub of pastels, this ground-floor apartment is a delightful haven to decompress in after busy days exploring historic Lucca and its surrounding towns. The beamed ceilings and arched doorways are typically Tuscan, and a commitment to muted tones – except in the second bathroom which offers a playful shock of cobalt mosaic tiles – invites you to take it easy and play strains of classical music, open up a bottle of robust red and perhaps put a Fellini film on the flat-screen television. You’re in the heart of the action of Lucca here, with less than a ten-minute walk to attractions like antique shops, markets, restaurants and the Lu.c.c.A Center of Contemporary Art. Just around the corner, on Via della Fratta, you’ll find a famous patisserie and a host of artisanal food shops where you can pick up delicious ingredients to experiment with in the pristine kitchen. 

Vanilla-Bean Gelato

Espresso Machine

Balcony

With oodles of space and a picturesque garden, this Lucca apartment ensures your downtime at home is just as enjoyable as your adventures in the walled city. Committed to modernity, it’s a white-walled, high-ceilinged haven that fosters a sense of calm and ease, while pops of bright colour and plenty of green plants bring a touch of vibrancy. Take afternoon tea in the armchairs out on the deck or fling open your bedroom doors and embrace la dolce vita with a bottle of Prosecco at the charming balcony’s table for two. There’s dedicated gated parking here, too, meaning you can effortlessly hire a car and set off for a Tuscan wine-route escapade. But there are plenty of attractions right on your doorstep as well. The home is in a central yet quiet part of town – it’s just a one-minute stroll to San Francesco, a Gothic-style church, while Guinigi Tower is a seven-minute walk. If you want to take some snaps of Lucca Cathedral – it’s twelve minutes on foot, or use the free bikes provided by your lovely host.


Curved Lines

With a great address in the heart of Lucca with its well-preserved Renaissance walls, this studio-style apartment is an ideal city retreat for two. Step out onto cobblestone streets, and you'll find an array of restaurants within a short stroll. Or music lovers can visit Casa di Puccini, where the famous opera composer was born. With such a fantastic location, you may hear some street noise during your stay. Unlike many studios, this apartment has a separate kitchen – though there's no oven, there's a hob and microwave. There are plenty of character features here, and the tall ceilings give a sense of space. We love the modern four-poster bed, too – this place is ideal for a romantic break.

Soulful Sanctuary

Keeping its original signage over the window, this former graphic arts studio offers a charming apartment along the road from the Piazza San Michele. We love how the arched mezzanine adds character to the living space, which transforms into a second bedroom for guests three and four. Though there isn't an oven here for home cooking, you'll find a variety of restaurants within strolling distance. Fancy an outing? Tour some of Lucca's churches before visiting the Museum of Villa Mansi and Puccini's birthplace.

Urban Hideout

As you arrive in the city of one-hundred churches, you’re sure to hear the bells chiming in harmony as you wander its ancient streets. But there are surprisingly modern pockets in this medieval wonderland. This apartment displays 21st-century sensibilities, while fully immersed in the historic walled city of Lucca. It’s less than a two-minute walk from the bustling main square, Piazza Napoleone, and seven from the wine bars and restaurants of the Piazza dell'Anfiteatro. And inside, traditional meets modern in an incredibly stylish manner. We love the bright, white lounge and open-plan kitchen, where vintage-style armchairs meet the angular lines of the high breakfast bar. Textiles such as velvet and rattan combine with wooden furniture to create a unique space, wrapped in understated luxury. For striking vistas of surrounding architecture like the palace and San Giusto church, head out to your private, covered balcony. The warm, terracotta tones make this spot feel superbly cosy. We recommend a chilled glass of chianti, some fresh Italian bread, and juicy local olives to set the scene. You’ll never tire of these views, it truly feels as though you’re ensconced in the surrounding architecture.

Butternut Squash

Lucca is a city with a small but dense centre, full of winding alleys and peaceful palazzos. If paying a visit, it makes a great deal of sense to stay as close to this buzzing middle as possible and luckily, this apartment puts you right in the heart of the action.

While it's true that it's not one of the most characterful homes in the locale, there's much to like about it. The open living space is generously sized and benefits from lots of natural light, while the bedrooms are more minimalist in style. However, we'd be lying if we didn't say that the real star of the show is the rooftop terrace, on which you'll find an alfresco table treated to views of some of Lucca's towers.

When it comes to getting to know the destination, there are a wealth of churches and museums to visit on foot, as well as no shortage of bars and restaurants to frequent afterwards. Further afield, both Pisa and Viareggio are easily reachable, too.

Higher Power

Safe

Staying at this lovely house, situated in the historic centre of Lucca, will feel like a real treat. How often do you get to enjoy candlelit suppers in a Renaissance setting, with a stream flowing gently by? The lovely garden has plenty of space for romantic evenings and relaxed aperitivo with friends.

Step inside and be instantly embraced by this home’s old-world glamour – we love the opulent details scattered about everywhere, with period furnishings and wooden ceiling beams making it feel like the most glorious time bubble. But this is by no means a museum – the place is cosy and homey, and you’ll find an abundance of space to kick off your shoes and relax with a glass of good Italian vintage. Rustle up a delicious meal in the bright kitchen, and serve it at the grand dining table – or, on those balmy Tuscan evenings, head outside and enjoy the enchanted garden. 

Nighttime brings the promise of a good night’s rest, courtesy of the plush and comfy bedrooms, while the bathroom is a luxurious affair, evoking spa-like elegance. 

Wake up refreshed and enjoy an espresso in the garden while you plan the day’s excursions. And there is more than enough to keep you busy here – from the countless historical sites in the city and the beautiful Tuscan countryside just outside its walls, there is something here for every mood. 


Candlelight Garden 

From the high ceilings and marble fireplaces to the tiled and parquet floors, this grand home mixes the traditional style of Lucca with pops of modernity. Moments from some of the city's best sights, and with views over Piazza Santa Maria Bianca from the living room, this apartment is perfect for exploring this slice of Tuscany. When you're not at one of the bars or ordering gelato, head home for a sharp, stylish space to chill out. The large living room has cream-coloured sofas and armchairs in which to unwind after a long day, while for the especially tired, there's a deep bathtub to soak in. Little design details, such as the blue-and-white tiles in the kitchen, add a sense of hominess, while antique cabinets and wardrobes pay homage to this historical corner.

Il Sognare

Desk

Once home to the Royal Embassy of Spain, you now have the chance to stay in this stylish apartment. You may not be entertaining Spanish diplomats, but the elegant decor will wow your guests. We love that each bedroom has an en-suite – all the bathrooms are beautiful, but our favourite has to be the one with the freestanding bath. As impressive as the home, the location doesn’t disappoint. Nestled within its ancient city walls, you’ll find charming, cobbled streets offering plenty of restaurants and attractions.

Royal Legacy

Nestled within Lucca’s historic walls, this home drops you in the heart of the city. Perfect for a small family or group of friends, you’ll find everything needed for a relaxing stay here – just bear in mind that the second bedroom is on a mezzanine level, so privacy is limited. Still, it’s a small price to pay for this home’s enviable location. Set on the main square with views of the Romanesque Church of San Giovanni, when you’re not sightseeing you can indulge in authentic Italian cuisine from one of the many eateries on your doorstep. 

Marble View

Sun Umbrellas

Right next to the Santi Giovanni e Reparata Church, set on the Piazza San Giovanni itself, this home is completely immersed in local history and culture. And at less than a minute walk to the San Martino Cathedral, you’ll hear the chimes from the ancient bells of religious buildings all around. Located inside Lucca’s city walls, this loft apartment is the perfect base for discovering the medieval heart of this breathtaking city. As soon as you arrive, pour a Bellini and step out to the huge private terrace – the views are simply unmatched. From up here, marvel at striking city panoramas, as well as the rolling hills of the Garfagnana. Inside, the eaves of this home have been put to good use – cleverly lit white beams create a bright and open living space with a modern, minimalist feel. While the glossy kitchen is ideal for rustling up a platter of cured Tuscan meats and cheese, we imagine you’ll be eating out most of the time. Choose a delightful restaurant on the Piazza del Giglio, 100 metres from home. Share stories over a glass of chianti in a rustic trattoria, after a day of exploration in the city. Saluti!

What Lies Beyond

Swimming Pool

You'll find this apartment in the heart of Lucca, surrounded by the city's ancient walls. In terms of location, it's pretty hard to beat – shops, restaurants, and all the must-see landmarks are just a short walk away. But it's not just the locale that we're impressed with. Back home, a Tuscan courtyard garden absolutely steals the show. It's a picture-perfect setting for dining alfresco on Italian classics, relaxing in the hot tub, or sipping local wines. Inside, the style merges contemporary with classic character. Both bedrooms are as smart as the next, while the kitchen is well-stocked if you fancy a homecooked meal.

Tuscan Symphony

Located in the heart of historic Lucca, this elegant apartment pops with Italian romance. Frescoed ceilings, antique-inspired furnishings and beautifully dressed bedrooms create an irresistible stay. It may not be quite to the taste of those looking for an ultra-modern experience, but we think the old-world decor is the perfect setting for Lucca’s rich culture. When you’re ready to venture out, you’ll find Piazza San Michele, less than a minute’s walk from home, and plenty more to see and do nearby, including Piazza Napoleone, the Guinigi Tower, Via Fillungo and the Antique Market. While you won’t need a car to explore the city’s sights, you may find having one beneficial for day trips to the Cinque Terre, Pisa and Florence and Forte dei Marmi. 


La Donna

With an unbeatable location on Piazza dell'Anfiteatro in Lucca, this beautiful apartment puts you in the heart of the city’s historic centre, with countless points of interest right on your doorstep. Inside, exposed brick walls, terracotta tiled floors and contemporary furnishings in the open-plan living area create a chic blend of old meets new, with an inviting window-side table waiting to host stylish breakfasts over espressos and Italian feasts aplenty. The bedroom, meanwhile, is a luxurious affair with its sumptuous bed and carefully curated jewel-tone decor, not to mention its large window proffering sensational views over Lucca’s Roman amphitheatre. Factor in the chic desk space and the bathroom’s rainfall shower, and you’re all set for a relaxing stay whether you’re here for business or pleasure. Outside of your home, Guinigi Tower is a four-minute walk away, Piazza San Frediano is a two-minute stroll and Via Fillungo – the city’s main shopping street – is just one minute away on foot. 


Casa Anfiteatro

Paid Parking

Tucked away on the top floor of a historic building in Lucca's charming old town, this chic suite is perfect for a solo traveller looking for their Eat, Pray, Love moment or a couple looking for a romantic retreat.

Beneath its exposed beam ceilings dotted with skylights, you'll find comfortable contemporary furnishings, antique decor and elaborate Renaissance-style touches, all bathed in golden Tuscan sunlight. We loved the elevated shower cubicle behind the bed, though we recognise it won't appeal to everyone. 

Step out, and you'll find yourself within the ancient city walls, which enclose charming streets lined with medieval buildings, quaint shops, and delicious restaurants. Enjoy leisurely strolls along the top of the walls, which offer stunning views of the surrounding Tuscan countryside. The city's main square, Piazza dell'Anfiteatro, is a must-see and just a few hundred metres away. Additionally, the Basilica di San Frediano, the Cathedral of San Martino, and the Guinigi Tower are all shining examples of its awe-inspiring architecture.

This stunning apartment offers the perfect blend of modern architecture and luxurious amenities. It’s located within the ancient walls of Lucca, making it a convenient base for exploring the city.

The Bell Towers

Buzzer / Wireless Intercom

Bright and stylish, this apartment on the second floor of a renaissance building is wonderfully laid out, welcoming guests in with fresh, open spaces, comfortable furnishings and a relaxed ambience. The ancient city of Lucca is the perfectly-juxtaposed backdrop to this chic, modern home. The open-plan kitchen, living room, and dining area make this home distinct yet comforting, thanks to super-high ceilings and a colour palette that mixes clean white with vibrant reds and greens. Each room is saturated in warm sunlight, thanks to the huge huge windows, and the patio terrace is ideal for early morning coffee and candlelit, star-strewn evening dinners, overlooking the city square and church. 

You’re close to the action, with quaint cobblestone streets and little avenues waiting to be explored, as well as sumptuous restaurants to sample local delicacies and produce. For those looking to explore further afield, the iconic city of Pisa is just a twenty-seven-minute drive from home and offers a wealth of bars and restaurants, as well as more historical and cultural sights than you could possibly fit into one day.

Take Me To Church

You may think you're taking just another holiday, but you’re also taking a trip through time when you stay in this home. Once you step off the main streets of Lucca and through the building doors, you’ll be taken on a whirlwind journey through time with the building dating back to the 1200s. This restored home has made sure all its antique charm has remained intact, from 500-year old paintings to beautifully carved ceilings and painterly walls. This enchanting property is like no other – you’ll feel like royalty walking through the large turquoise and gold gilded doors, draped curtains at each window and an enormous dining room table equipped for the fanciest of feasts. While its regal palace interior will take you centuries back, the property is equipped with all the modern amenities one needs in present day. Take a stroll through Lucca with beautiful boutiques, restaurants and attractions to make your stay as spectacular as possible.

Casa Penelope

Experience the historic heart of Lucca from this cosy apartment. Located between the iconic Piazza San Michele and Piazza Napoleone, this is a great base for an Italian adventure. Wander to local restaurants, enjoy sightseeing and make the most of all this wonderful city has to offer. It’s also just a five-minute walk from the train station – making it easy to explore further afield. Inside, the owners have retained the rustic features while adding in contemporary comforts. It’s worth noting the single room is small, but there is a dedicated desk making this a great option for remote workers.

Although this attic apartment involves quite a lot of stairs – fifty-two of them, to be exact – the climb is worth it. Up here, the sunlight streams through the skylights and shuttered windows, creating a bright and inviting space to kick back and relax with a glass of wine or two. This flat is set within an ancient palace in the heart of Lucca, so if Tuscan character is what you're after, you've got it – albeit in a slightly more modern way. Warm orange hues, glossy wood floors, timber ceilings and blue tiles in the kitchen feel very traditional, but the trendy open mezzanine (where you'll find the bedroom) and the floating staircase leading up to are as contemporary as it gets. 

Location-wise, this is a spectacular spot close to all of Lucca's must-see sights. Indulge your sweet tooth at the gelato shop across the road (it's the best in town), sip espresso in the sunshine at Piazza dell'Anfiteatro (a four-minute stroll away) or tuck into a delicious Italian feast at the local trattorias and eateries on your doorstep. And you can't visit Lucca without a wander along the city's famous Renaissance walls – the entrance at Porta Santa Maria is just five minutes away on foot.

Musetta's Waltz

Much like the city of Lucca itself, there’s a bonafide touch of opulence to this apartment that we can’t resist. Gleaming chequered marble flooring sweeps through the home. While a rich tapestry of pattern and colour adds flourishes of modernity and echo the pastel facades of the walled city outside.

Once you’ve done gawping over the grand living and dining space, head into the boutique-feel bedrooms, where it’s out with the drab and in with vibrant textiles. Friends sharing will love the two seperate bathrooms, so there’s no hanging around when it’s time to get up and at ’em. And indeed, you should.

Right outside your doorstep, you’ll find the leafy garden of Palazzo Pfanner for some fresh air. Or simply lose yourself to Lucca’s cobbled streets, discovering handsome piazzas and renaissance palaces at every turn. And there’s no storage of places to stop for rustic Tuscan fare around here –⁠ all washed down with a glass or two of Lucchesi wine.

If you feel like venturing further afield to other city hotspots, Pisa is just a half-an-hour journey away. Though we suspect you may find all the Tuscan vibes you’re chasing right here in Lucca.

La Vita a Colori 

Situated just steps from Piazza San Francesco, you’ll find restaurants, bakeries, grocery stores, and bars on the doorstep of this apartment. Many of the city’s famous monuments are a short stroll away too, including the Guinigi Tower. You don’t have to worry about parking here either – this home has an underground car park. Inside the apartment, there’s an open-plan living room with French doors opening to a Juliet balcony and there’s also a well-appointed kitchen here. This apartment is an invitation to embrace Lucca's rich history.
