Perfect location, beautiful roof terrace perfect for breakfast. I don’t have any negative comments
Absolutely perfect!! Thank you so much Fabrizio!
Beautiful, well equiped apartment in a perfect location. We loved the rooftop terrace with views over the hills. The apartment was well decorated and it was lovely to walk into the clean, air conditioned bedrooms after being out in the the Italian sunshine. Fabrizio made the check in / out process very straight forward - Thank you for a lovely stay - we look forward to returning very soon!
What an amazing apartment Perfect location for bars,restaurants,public transport Superb facilities in the apartment, kitchen had everything you could need, the best beds i have ever slept in, ice cold air con a god send in the 40dg heatwave we experienced. Tania &rory were excellent hosts, answered all emails, questions the same day, as was fabrizio who met us at the apartment Can not wait to go back Thanks again tania,rory & fabrizio
Excellent stay in this roof top apartment. Very comfortable for our two week stay. Wish we could have stayed longer! Everything we needed for our extended visit was here. The beds we’re comfortable, the kitchen well stocked, the outdoor patio made the start and end of each day special. We absolutely loved this place.
Three weeks spent gazing out the windows of this rooftop apartment is reason enough to return every May. My favorite is the kitchen window. No, it's the crusty old window on the stairwell landing at sunrise. But wait! I forgot the terrace view at sunset. I can't decide, so I will just have to return. Thank you Fabrizio & Tania for your lovely hospitality and life-changing views.
Communication with owners and manager was excellent. The apartment was larger than we anticipated which was great for our group of four. After daily activities it was very nice to unwind with a snack and a glass of wine on our private patio. We had everything we needed and location was the best. Thank you Tania&Rory.
At the top of the stairs an amazing apartment,this is our second stay and would highly recommend ,clean and well equipped with an secluded terrace has I have said to Tanya andRory the owners it’s like coming home.Easy reach to most places in Lucca and you have a wonderful view of the roof tops of the distant mountains and see theGuini tower.I think anyone who stays will not be disappointed thank you again for a great time loved it loved it
Great value!
We all enjoyed the comfort and homeliness of our stay here. The location was amazing, the apartment had everything we needed and more. Checkin was seamless. It was a lovely apartment.
Excellent, well-equipped apartment in downtown Lucca with gorgeous terrace. Perfect view over the town, walking distance to plenty of bars/restaurants but still quite. The warm-hearted owners are extraordinary helpful giving perfect recommendations about things to see/restaurants and helping out in any situation. On-site support was absolutely smooth.
This was such an amazing place for our family to stay for 6 nights! The pictures are all very accurate and Tania and Rory (and Fabrizio) were very easy to communicate with. We came by train and it was just a short walk to the flat. The terrace was such a great place to spend time in the morning with a coffee and in the evening with a glass of wine. Every window had amazing views! There were so many restaurants and gelato options nearby and we were spoiled for choice! We would definitely recommend this flat and we would happily stay again.
This is a comfortable, spacious apartment with a terrace that feels authentically Tuscan. We enjoyed drinks and lunches on the terrace, and found excellent restaurants for dinner within easy walking distance of the apartment. We appreciated the mosquito screens, allowing us the keep windows open at night to enjoy the fresh breezes. As long as guests are prepared for the exercise of climbing the stairs, they are sure to enjoy this well appointed holiday apartment.
The apartment was lovely! We enjoyed the terrace at night and had lunch there as well as two dinners we prepared. Coffee in the morning outside was nice as well. It was warm in Lucca so we were happy for the AC in the bedrooms at night and a late afternoon rest. The stairs were daunting but reaching our destination was a worthy goal! The personal welcome and orientation by Fabrizio was excellent.
These were the best beds we’ve experienced in Italy… and we’ve been in 12 others places Apartment is as pictured. Everything worked. Kitchen has all cooking pans you needed. Salt and pepper. Plenty of windows for the breeze to come thru. Bath had shampoo, conditioner and soap. Vanity is nice size. They had soap for the washing machine Furniture is comfortable. Nice reading light and lots of books. Italy has a lot of trash sorting rules. They have the rules written down for you. It’s a pain, but a way of life here. Lucca is very nice. I’d climb those stairs again!
We had a most incredible stay.A little gem with a great terrace ,eat or just chill .The apartment is airy and light ,very well equipped and Fabrizio the manager a wonderful man.Infact we enjoyed our stay so much (love Lucca) have rebooked for next year and would recommend.
