With a private garden, it’s hard to believe this home sits inside Lucca’s historic walls. But that’s exactly what it offers – a green sanctuary in the heart of the city. Indoors, the rooms are just as inviting thanks to the welcoming decor and personal touches. There are two floors here, so you’ll have plenty of space to stretch out, relax or catch up on work. It’s within easy reach of the city’s main attractions as well as restaurants, shops and bakeries. You’ll also find the bus terminal and underground parking just two-minutes away.
