Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
This dreamy penthouse captures the soul of Tuscany in every detail. Inside, you’ll find pale, creamy colours, whitewashed beams, hardwood floors and soft furnishings with inviting textures. Perfectly curated decorations strike a balance between Renaissance inspiration and modern luxury, while ambient lighting from an abundance of lamps creates a warm feeling after dark. But it’s out on the tiled terrace where this home truly comes to life. Here, surrounded by stucco walls, potted Mediterranean plants and neighbouring rooftops, you'll love gathering together for alfresco dinners on balmy summer evenings. Curl up in a cocooning armchair or spread out on the modular sofa to natter the night away over a bottle of Tuscan Chianti. In the streets just beyond the apartment, you’ll find some of Lucca’s most picturesque locales, like the cathedral – popular for its nightly Puccini concerts – just a four-minute walk away. Take your morning constitutional through the beautiful botanical gardens, right on your doorstep. You’re also near Via Del Fosso, with its spring-water fountains for you to fill your bottles with Italy’s purest aqua.
