Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
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.

About Lucca
Lucca is one of Italy’s best-kept secrets. Surrounded by fortified walls, its core is a warren of pretty piazzas, traditional Tuscan trattorias, and beautifully preserved churches.
