ARIAS APARTMENT in the iconic Piazza San Michele

The hosting service was very responsive and helpful when we had questions/issues. The apartment is in a great location close to everything. The apartment is lovely and the beds very comfortable. However, as stated in other reviews the noise outside our master bedroom was extremely loud and went on until late at night and then started very early in the morning (think 5:30 a.m. garbage, 6-7 a.m. delivery trucks, 7:30 the school children pass by very noisily). The apartment advertised a washer and dryer, but the dryer function did not work (there is a drying rack which worked fine for our needs). Also there was the faint smell of rotten eggs in the bathroom all the time (sulfur in the water??) This smell was not present in the kitchen area. One other final note. They advertise that the apartment is on the first floor (second floor by American standards), but you go up to what amounts to 2 sets of stairs to get the door and the apartment is split level, so when you walk in you must go up or down 3-4 stairs. Not a big deal for some folks but for others it might be an issue. I would also suggest that they update their Welcome booklet with specific instructions on where to find the garbage bins and also how to use the washer/dryer.

From the personal check-in to tips and information about the apartment and the neighborhood, everything went smoothly. I highly recommend lucca apartments and villas when planning a stay in or around Lucca.

I enjoyed the nice furnishings and really liked the location. The noise level - patrons talking outside is very loud as well as the trash pick up at dawn and delivery trucks etc.

1 week in Lucca at Casa Arias. The location was excellent. The property management staff were. very helpful in a timely manor. Could not get the dryer to work because I did not understand the symbols on the machine. There was morning noise from the restaurants on the street in the early morning. Otherwise and very lovely and comfortable apartment.

This apartment was the perfect base for exploring & enjoying Lucca. In an old medieval building, the apartment is recently and tastefully renovated and is attractively furnished, spotless, comfortable (including the beds), bright and well stocked. The location is perfect - on Piazza Cittadella which is a lovely little square, just a few steps from the beautiful Piazza San Michele & a stone’s throw from almost everywhere else in Lucca. There’s a little bit of noise from the piazza in the evenings but that’s to be expected in such a central location & it didn’t bother me & stopped relatively early. I really enjoyed my stay in Casa Arias & would definitely stay again.

We recently stayed in this apartment as a party of four with two young children. It’s in the perfect location, the central part of town and easily walkable to a great variety of shops, museums restaurants, and landmarks. Our host Cristina was incredibly responsive. Our check-in was easy and she walked us through everything so we could immediately settle into the apartment. The rooms were super clean and comfortable. We truly felt like we lived there. The only criticism that I have to say is you could definitely hear people out on the street talking walking by. The bedroom with two twin beds was very well protected from the sound but the master bedroom was pretty loud especially on a Friday night. That’s part of the charm of being in the middle of town on the main road, but maybe bring some earplugs or headphones if you’re a light sleeper. We will definitely be back!

Brilliant property. Hosts were excellent, very professional and this made us very confident straight from the initial booking. Beautiful apartment. Quite a few stairs so tricky if you are not mobile. Location was excellent. In the midst of the town without being overly noisy. Lots of musical performances just outside which we loved.wed love to return.

Arias apartment was fabulous! Our 2 week stay in Lucca was made so great by being in an area near 2 grocery stores, multiple restaurants, the antique market, and beautiful churches. Parked in the Cittidella lot: got a month pass card that made the cost much less (?50 for a month) Arias kitchen was well equipped and easy to use. The bed was comfortable, large closet, nice small bathroom. The decor was so lovely! There is a flight of fairly steep stairs to the apartment door and a few short stairs inside the apartment, but we got in shape quickly with the challenge. The location was awesome! Piazza Cittadella has it all: 4 restaurants, a gelato shop, a statue, and a museum…Chiesa di San Michele was right around the corner. Lucca is a beautiful city; we loved our stay and this beautiful apartment.

Our family thoroughly enjoyed the excellent location at piazza Cittadella adjacent to Puccini’s home, and the amenities provided. Air conditioning during the hot and humid night allowed us to sleep peacefully. We highly recommend this flat.

Check in is easy. The people you communicate with are all very helpful. The apartment is beautiful. Very spacious. Larger than we expected. It is well equipped and very clean. The location is perfect. We would stay there again. Kevin P. Canada Not sure you could. For us everything was great.
