Wonderful host - very friendly and helpful!
The villa and the rooms are beautifully decorated with an outstanding level of taste. One can feel that the facility was furnished with love and not - as commonly seen today - only cheap cheap cheap.
The city walls are 6min walking and I recommend everyone a walk on the forested city walls which enclose Lucca entirely!

Luca and staff provided all of the essentials for a fabulous stay! The room was lovely, breakfast replete with a delightful array of tasty sweet treats and savories. Bikes were great and we loved the gardens. Superb experience. Will absolutely be back on our next trip. Grazie mille.

We absolutely loved our stay here.  The room was very large and spacious and meticulously clean.  The high ceilings and decor was wonderful. Luca, the owner picked us up at and drove us to the train station.  The property is beautiful, quiet, clean and has an excellent location.  We enjoyed the breakfast both days.  Luca provided us with valuable information and tips on the city of Lucca.    I would rate this proprty an 11 out of 10.  Thank you Luca so much for everything.

Lucca

Glad to have made it to Giacomo Puccini’s home before “Puccini in Lucca” concert. The apartment was as kept well with some display of his works, opera costume and furniture. Not a overwhelmingly inventory display. His work place was also neatly maintained.

Very well laid out and happy to visit, it's been on my bucket list for years!
BUT, one point for improvement: the handles of the display drawers are not practical at all! I broke a fingernail trying to open one (and I am nail fanatic).
So i suggest a handele with a good grip! im sure it will even go with the period style!

Great XVI th century palace with gardens leaning agaist the back of the baptesimal chapel of saint John.

Giovanni Battista Bernardino, Bishop of Ajaccio, Palace in Lucca. A 16th century palace,  one of the most impressive in Tuscany.

Perfect location in the center of Lucca. Homemade breakfasts at the elegant dining room are amazing. The environment is very nice, same as the staff, always willing to help. The bedroom, super cozy and nice. I definitely recommend!

Very charming place, the whole place looks like a museum 😍 The owner and the whole staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Big delicious breakfast.

had a fantastic stay in this beautiful b&b.
the palace is amazingly located and the room was clean, ample and sophisticated.
abundant and tasty breakfast.
the staff is so kind and helpful

A walk down Via Fillungo pedestrian street should definitely be on your list when visiting Lucca.

This is one of the most popular streets that runs through Lucca’s historic center. It’s a long, irregular pedestrian street lined with many shops.

You can stop by boutiques and small shops to pick up gifts, clothing, or grab a bite to eat in a trattoria. Toward the northeast end of the street, there's an archway entrance to the beautiful Piazza dell'Anfiteatro, another must-see in Lucca.

Lucca a pretty historic town. Full of interesting sights. And one of the things to do is walking the streets. Lucca has lots of nice walking and shopping lanes.
And this here is one of the most famous ones. All the big brands are here (like Timberland, Max Mara, Kiko, Guess, Douglas, Foot Locker, Swatch etc.). But even you're not into shopping you shouldn't miss out on this street. It's a nice little walk, passing the Torre Delle Ore. It goes from the Piazza San Michele up to the beautiful Anfiteatro. And just for that alone it's worth having a walk here. There are quite some interesting independent/local shops here as well.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful shopping street. Very busy but full of nice shops

(Original)
Bellissima via dello shopping.  Molto affollata ma piena di bei negozi

Amazing place. Just as amazing as that Guinigi Tower.
Take away everything contemporary from the landscape and you’re back in the Middle Ages! And that alone should give you an idea of the kind of architectural accomplishment of building such a tall structure in those times. A must-see.

It was great to walk on top of the clock tower  where we could see the whole view of Lucca downtown. The steps are narrow but you can climb easily. The ticket can be bought online the QR code is below at the entrance. The person in charge was very nice spoke in English and very friendly, she guided us to buy the tickets kindly.

The view from the tower is breath taking and there is a lot of space up there to sit or stand and to look at the city from different point of views. The staircase is in wood and makes the tower very charming and original. I highly recommend, much more than the tower that has a « garden » on top.

⛪ A church that date backs 1100s, it is very nice. San Michele in Foro is a Roman Catholic basilica church in Lucca, Tuscany, central Italy, built over the ancient Roman forum. Until 1370 it was the seat of the Consiglio Maggiore (Major Council), the commune's most important assembly. It is dedicated to Archangel Michael. The church is mentioned for the first time in 795 as ad foro (in the forum). It was rebuilt after 1070 by will of Pope Alexander II.

Notable is the façade, from the 13th century, with a large series of sculptures and inlays, numerous of which remade in the 19th century. The lower part has a series of blind arcades, the central of which includes the main portal. The upper part, built using plenty of iron materials to counter wind, has four orders of small loggias. On the summit, flanked by two other angels, is the 4 m-tall statue of St. Michael the Archangel. According to a legend, an angel's finger would have a huge diamond. On the lower right corner of the façade is a statue (1480) of the Madonna salutis portus, sculpted by Matteo Civitali to celebrate the end of the 1476 plague.

The church interior has a nave and two aisles with transept and semicircular apse; the nave is supported by arcades on monolithic columns. From the southern transept rises the bell tower, built in the 12th-14th centuries, with a series of single, double and triple mullioned windows. The last floor was demolished during the rule of Giovanni dell'Agnello (1364-1368), Doge of Pisa.

⛪1100'lerden kalma çok hoş bir kilise.

Beautiful old church. One worth visiting and taking photos of.

This place doesn't even look real. When I encountered this cathedral I found a place to sit and ended up staring at it for a good 30 minutes. It looks like an illustration you might see in a fantasy novel. And the size of this place, compared to the surrounding community, just stunning.

The view above the tower is spectacular! Also, the information or trivias available while you are going up the tower is very helpful to get to know more about the city of Lucca. I just hope that there are more available space on top given the volume of people that visits. But anyway, 10/10 and everyone going to Lucca should drop by this amazing place!

One of the best place in Lucca. Beautiful view to hilly country around city and across the roofs. The place up the tower was quite small, but I was lucky and there was less then 5 people. I cannot imagine being there with group of people.

Not a hard climb like Giotto's bell tower or Brunelleschi's dome
in Firenzi. Lovely open airy climb.  Very inviting area at the top with shade trees and 360 degree view of old Lucca
