Staying at this lovely house, situated in the historic centre of Lucca, will feel like a real treat. How often do you get to enjoy candlelit suppers in a Renaissance setting, with a stream flowing gently by? The lovely garden has plenty of space for romantic evenings and relaxed aperitivo with friends. Step inside and be instantly embraced by this home’s old-world glamour – we love the opulent details scattered about everywhere, with period furnishings and wooden ceiling beams making it feel like the most glorious time bubble. But this is by no means a museum – the place is cosy and homey, and you’ll find an abundance of space to kick off your shoes and relax with a glass of good Italian vintage. Rustle up a delicious meal in the bright kitchen, and serve it at the grand dining table – or, on those balmy Tuscan evenings, head outside and enjoy the enchanted garden. Nighttime brings the promise of a good night’s rest, courtesy of the plush and comfy bedrooms, while the bathroom is a luxurious affair, evoking spa-like elegance. Wake up refreshed and enjoy an espresso in the garden while you plan the day’s excursions. And there is more... than enough to keep you busy here – from the countless historical sites in the city and the beautiful Tuscan countryside just outside its walls, there is something here for every mood.

There’s a buzzy nightlife scene centred around cool enotecas and craft beer bars. On Via Fillungo, you’ll find some of Lucca’s finest boutiques, with high-end...
