CASA BEATRICE, Apartment with Private Garden inside the Walls of Lucca

Lovely quirky apartment in a great location, with a little cafe/bar on the doorstep, perfect for breakfast. It is very quiet and peaceful yet everything you need is close by. The garden is a wonderful addition to the space and the ideal spot to enjoy at any time of the day. The owner is very friendly and kind and nearby if you need anything, without being obtrusive. A little haven for anyone looking to discover the delights of Lucca. The only downside is that it is a little dark, but equally this keeps it lovely and cool so no need for aircon.

Absolutely fantastic. Lovely garden, cool and quiet accommodation done up in modern way

We were excited to stay in Lucca and having a spot within the old town was imperative. Our accommodations were as we had hoped for given the pictures on line. The private garden area for late afternoon wine and relaxation was much appreciated. Communication with our agents was effective and the recommendations and local history provided by the owner who lived on the property were invaluable. We would highly recommend Casa Beatrice to anyone travelling to Lucca.

Rez-de-jardin d'une belle demeure de Lucques intra muros. Beaucoup de charme, coin jardin très agréable, propriétaire homme de goût, très sympa. Salle de bains bien rénovée, belle cuisine. Excellente expérience !

You can expect an attentive host, an authentic and ornate apartment and a fantastic garden! Great location too!

Excellent location and accommodation for short stay in lucca

Our Casa Beatrice apartment was within the walls of the lovely city of Lucca. It was well equipped, clean and comfortable. The location was fabulous. We could walk the walls, a 4.5 km walkway surrounding the city and we could easily walk to restaurants, churches, shops, museums and the beautiful Piazza Anfiteatro. From our kitchen window we could look at the extensive gardens.

The apartment is ideally located just inside Porta Elisa with immediate access to the town wall and easy access to all the city has to offer. The space is large and comfortable and on the ground floor so no steps! We would definitely recommend this apartment for a short or long stay.

The property had character and was interesting historically. As it was located rather on the edge of Lucca although just inside the walls be prepared to walk . The main issue though was it had very little in the way of comfort, one sofa in a small kitchen diner area. We had originally booked elsewhere with the same person, but were told after payment was taken that this was no longer available so this was not our first choice. We were refunded but incurred bank charges which was not acceptable. I rang Home Away customer support but despite being promised one received no further response on this !!. We did not expect luxury but this apartment should really be only a summer let ( or at a significantly reduced price out of season) as it is dark and cold ( which would become shady and cool in the summer !) . Given this to be charged additionally for 'heating' was particularly annoying . Specifically, it was necessary to have lights on when inside at any time. The shower was far too small and window openings did not work properly. The garden is not private but a small strip of a larger garden accessed form it garden which is misleading from the photographs and description. Full payment up front ,as insisted on, gives little option to move elsewhere which we would have done as we were not satisfied. The owner lived upstairs and was very pleasant and helpful after the TV ( needed on wet evenings) did not work for the first three days on our one week stay. Think carefully about booking this apartment except in high summer.

We stayed in the Beatrice apartment for 4 weeks and we where very pleased with the apartment. The layout of the apartment was very adequate for our needs with two adults and occasional guests. The location inside the walls of Lucca was perfect. In the garden we could (only daytime) hear live classical music from a nearby resident which used to play piano occasionally, this was a good and beautiful experience. Sonia was a very good help during our stay, we had some problems with the toilet and the wifi, but she fixed it immediately. Perfect service :)
