Nice and small bed and breakfast to explore Lucca. Very close to the center, but quiet. Very friendly host. We could safely park our bikes on the terrace.

Excellent location, with the great convenience of free parking just outside the ZTL. At the same time, a stone's throw from the center and the walls, ideal for those who are on a bike (having the possibility to leave the bikes in the garden). Alessandra is very kind and super organized, having left us the possibility to access the room and parking with late arrival and very clear instructions. The same for the departure. Very beautiful, spacious room, with excellent air circulation and air conditioning to cope with hot moments. Or, as in our case, to stay cool if there is a party outside (but at night you open the window and sleep very well without, as the area is very quiet). Highly recommended. Breakfast is not included but there are two pastry shops and also the Marameo café a stone's throw away.

Grazie mille Luca per l’eccellente recensione, a presto!

Great facility for the quality-price ratio and the owner's availability. The only downside is the slightly dated flooring.

stayed from 05/31/2022 to 06/01/2022

The answer from the host:
Grazie Vittorio ma sono pavimenti di pregio Tessieri, tipici lucchesi!Impensabile sostituirli con moderne pavimentazioni industriali, cerchiamo di mantenere le caratteristiche originali dell’edificio, senza stravolgerlo.

Spacious room and service, in a quiet area a few steps from the center, with the proximity of affiliated bars for breakfast, restaurants, and bike rental. An added value is the possibility of free use of the covered parking Mazzini, very close to the property, through a magnetic card provided by the owner. Proximity to the historic center reachable on foot and to the cycle-pedestrian path along the walls. Extremely clean and linen change. Great kindness and availability of the owner. Attention to anti-covid measures.
