Just north of the walled perimeter of the medieval city, this home offers a spacious and elegant abode where you can walk to the River Serchio in seven minutes, or to the Porta Santa Maria in eight. Original beamed ceilings, charming wooden shutters, and traditional Italian furnishings await you in this Tuscan treat. The enchanting interiors echo classical aspects of the city, with antique wooden furniture, luxe textiles, and a marble fireplace at its heart. But modern pieces like the glass coffee table create a subtle contrast, reminding you of Lucca’s presence over so many centuries. On sunny afternoons, cold negronis on the large private terrace are a must. And by evening, host an intimate dinner around the dining table before a peaceful sleep under the plush, quilted blanket in the king-size bed. In this serene neighbourhood, we recommend waking up early to make use of the host’s bicycles. Take a romantic ride along the river then head into town – it’s a six-minute cycle to the Mercato del Carmine. Pick up some local delicacies to savour at sunset on the terrace.
