LA CASA DI PERA has been in the Pera family for generations. This apartment is centrally located within the ancient walled city of Lucca, Tuscany. It has been completely renovated!!! New heating,air-conditioning, plumbing, electrical, kitchen, floors, and bathrooms. All this with authentic Tuscan materials. We have hired Maria Quilici an architect from within the walls of Lucca. Maria was born here and is keeping the flat authentic to the history of Lucca.

There is a master bedroom with its own bathroom. The other bedroom will have a bedding system that can sleep 4 people, a crib if needed, and room for luggage.

The main floor will have the entry room with a desk for a laptop computer, main living room with leather couch and other nice seating, deluxe kitchen with 5 burner cook-top, oven dishwasher double sink and refrigerator freezer, dining with room for 8 if you extend the table, and a full bathroom with shower, and bidet.

This will be the hub area of the vacation. Great place to stay home or great place to come back to.

The entry off the street is a common door for the building. You have a common area inside that is great for the bikes waiting for your ride around the town or around the wall. You walk up a small flight of stairs and you are there at your two level flat. Welcome home.

This is your perfect holiday apartment for exploring the magic of Lucca. This beautiful city is famous for its monumental 15th century fortified wall. But dig a little deeper and you find that its winding medieval streets actually follow the plan laid out by the Romans in 180 BC. And before the Romans, Lucca was one of the major centers of Etruria, the ancient country of central Italy that more or less corresponds to modern Tuscany

Unsurprisingly then, Lucca is steeped in history. Your twelfth century building is just a small part of that. There are museums and churches, and the magnificent cathedral, the Duomo di San Martino, is the town’s finest Romanesque building, its impressive façade a triumph of sculpture, carving and inlay work - at just five minutes’ walk from the apartment.

Modern delights include terrific restaurants, bars and shops, all within a few minutes’ walk. In Lucca’s winding streets, the pedestrian come before the car, so you can move at your own pace. In fact wandering the streets is one of the great pleasures of the city. Walk or hire a bike and cycle around the top of the city wall, this is a marvelous way to see the town and its surrounding countryside. The rail station is just minutes away too, making this the perfect base for exploring Tuscany and for trips to the coast, Florence, Pisa and Siena.

  • We stayed in this wonderful apartment in June of 2008. We could not have had better accomadations. The apartment is beautiful,you can tell it is newly remodeled. THe bikes are a great feature because Lucca is a cycling city. Alicia met us at the train station and gave us a tour of the town as we walked to the apartment. The town of Lucca was perfect after a few days in busy Florence. Don't miss a Puccini concert while staying in Lucca.

  • We stayed in this lovely apartment for a week in June 2007 and had a fabulous time in Lucca! The apartment had everything we needed to prepare some great Tuscan food! Riding the bikes around the top of the wall in the evening was very special. We will definitely be back!
