Set in the heart of the walled city of Lucca, this sumptuous apartment immerses you in the history of medieval Italy – but with 21st-century sensibilities. Less than 100 metres from the bustling square of Piazza Napoleone, and even closer to the Piazza del Giglio, you’re spoilt for choice when it comes to alfresco wining and dining. Housed in a former palace built in 1570, it’s not hard to imagine the renaissance revelry taking place between this home’s ornate walls. Full of frescoes, high ceilings, tall windows, and plush furnishings, it’s the definition of Tuscan sophistication. Palatial in size and attitude, the lounge is a feast for the eyes with its painted ceiling and gleaming wooden floor. And decadence continues in the master bedroom. White and pastel fabrics flow elegantly around this boudoir, alongside a Jacuzzi tub in the bathroom to keep you fresh. Wake up with an espresso to your views of striking vistas of famous piazzas and cathedrals. But with such incredible sights as standard every day, you might want to explore further afield. Hop on a train to Viareggio in under twenty minutes, or take a thirty-minute drive to the iconic city of Pisa.
