Reviews
Some testimonials from clients who have stayed with us::
"Excellent" - Overall rating 5/5, (Washington DC, USA)
A modern apartment with parking, what's not to like? The location was perfect and the apartment was great for our 9 day stay.
"Excellent" - Overall rating 5/5, (Wisconsin, USA)
Visited with my wife and 15 year old daughter. The flat was the perfect size for us and is in a great location in a quiet, secure building. The on-site parking makes touring Tuscany by car extremely efficient. Likewise the location is ideal for wandering the streets of Lucca night or day. The flat was spotless, well equipped with all amenities and the owners were extremely gracious and helpful. Highly recommended!
"Excellent apartment in a beautiful town" - Overall rating 5/5, (Lancashire, England)
Simply if it is available book it.
There are many positives and no negatives. The apartment is situated within the walls of the old town of Lucca. It is in a quiet area with no passing traffic.
Everything is modern and sparklingly clean. There is an excellent lift which was greatly appreciated.
Nearby there are a number of restaurants, a very good pizzeria with takeaway and a artisanal gelataria (traveldigook for a very nice ice cream shop).
Martin our host was easy to contact and very helpful.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
“Historical Lucca with all the comforts of home" - Overall rating 5/5, (Melbourne, Australia)
I spent 4 wonderful weeks in Lucca, in this apartment. The owners, Manuela and Martin, were welcoming and helpful. The apartment is clean, comfortable and had everything I needed. The location, just inside the old walls but away from the tourist heart, meant it was light, airy and quiet. The view from the windows was special; across roof tops to the trees on the wall with the mountains in the distance. What a joy - no matter what time of day or weather.
In front of the building is a large, grassed open area which is great for catching some sun while reading a book.
Everything is close by including several restaurants, deli's, a local bar and a gelateria. This is a modern building which suited me perfectly - I could enjoy heritage Lucca during the day but retire to modern comforts at night.
“Modern comfort in the mediaeval city” - Overall rating 4/5, (Norwich, England)
The owners could not have been more helpful and welcoming. The apartment is is in a good location for exploring the fascinating city, well equipped, and with underground, secure car parking, with a lift to the apartment, make it ideal for anyone with problems with stairs! The air-conditioning too was very welcome, as this was a particularly hot week even for Lucca in July.
“Lucca: La Dolce Vita” - Overall rating 5/5, (Southampton, England)
For those who haven't been to Lucca, I can assure you that it's Tuscany's best kept secret, a medieval town about the size of Bath or Chester (though slightly smaller than Pisa) but with a style all of its own. With its huge ancient walls, its towers, squares and churches, and with its myriad of bars and great places to eat, the town has something for everyone. Whilst there are a few hotels and a number of private apartments within the town walls, many are noisy, difficult to reach or without parking. Fortunately, the apartment offered by Martin & Manuela satisfies every need.
Located within a smart, modern, newly-constructed private complex the apartment is light and airy and beautifully appointed with everything one could possibly want for a comfortable holiday, including a washing machine, dishwasher, a modern, spacious bathroom with shower, and excellent air-conditioning. It has an underground car park (a unique feature for a building within the walls I believe), electronic gates, adjacent gardens and is no more than a ten minute walk from the centre. Most of all it's quiet as the east side of town benefits from a total absence of crowds and bustle and usually all that one hears on waking up each morning in the apartment is birdsong. The complex is easily accessed by car via Porta Elisa, which in turn is easily accessed from the motorway and whilst perfect for a week in town the apartment is also ideal as a base to explore the coast and the surrounding area.
The huge choice of fabulous restaurants, trattorias and bars within easy walking distance are too numerous to detail here, however I would mention a Gastronomia (a delicatessen) called 'Da Ponte A Quarto', at 24 Via Michele Rosi, on the route between the apartment and the centre, absolutely perfect as a source of great food should you feel the need for a quiet night in during the week in order to drink all the wine you've accumulated! Once again Martin & Manuela have provided everything within the apartment that you might need should you wish to prepare your own feast, to the extent of sets of both champagne and large wine glasses!
Martin and Manuela were always concerned to ensure that we enjoyed our holidays on both of the occasions that we've stayed at their apartment. They are the perfect hosts; cultured, friendly and generous and always available to provide, information, advice and assistance whenever it was needed. I strongly recommend their apartment to anyone wishing to book a holiday in Lucca.
“Great apartment in perfect location” - Overall rating 5/5, (Lichfield, England)
The apartment is light and modern and in a perfect location within Lucca's city walls. We stayed for five nights and could have stayed longer. Lucca is a great base for visiting Florence and Pisa but is also a lovely city in its own right. Manuela was friendly and very helpful both before and during our stay. Highly recommended.
“Beautiful modern air conditioned apartment within the ancient city walls of Lucca” - Overall rating 5/5, (Leicester, England)
We visited Lucca for the first time last summer, we had a fantastic holiday! The apartment is modern, very well equiped and presented beautifully, with lovely views looking over the rooftops and gardens. Also in an ideal position, within the ancient city walls making it easy to walk to the local shops, bars and restaurants. The owners could not have been more friendly and helpful as well as offering tips on local amenities, all in all a great holiday and heartily recommended.
