My beautiful holiday apartment with its own garden is one of the best accomodation to enjoy the magic of this wonderful city of art.
It is centrally located in the cathedral area, right by an access path leading to the Walls, very close to everything and just facing the famous Walls that surround the city.

The apartment (90 square meters) can comfortably accommodate 5 people, it is on the first floor (from the street to the apt entrance there are only 3 steps to climb)of an ancient palace which thick stone walls keep the rooms cool on even the hottest days.
The apartment is quiet and bright, the windows face south west looking onto the gardens and east to the attractive Rosa square. Every window also enjoys a beautiful view of the ancient Wall that surround the city.
There is an elegant sitting room with useful “library” with lots of tourist information and books in various languages, a well equipped spacious kitchen, a bathroom with shower, a bedroom with a king size bed, an extra large bedroom with a king size and a single bed, and an utility room with washing machine and sink.
Cot and highchair are available.
The apartment has the exclusive use of its walled garden , which is furnished with table, chairs, sunbed and barbecue.
This is a fantastic place to relax, get a suntan, drink an aperitif and enjoy a leisurely meal. Smoking is permitted in the garden.
The Lucca train station is in the other side of the massive (3 miles long, twelve metres high and thirty wide) Walls and is reachable in a few minutes walk that means you do not need a car and allows for day excursions to Pisa, Florence, Viareggio, etc

Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 0000
Hello everyone, my name is Daniela, I was born in Lucca and live in a
house in a pleasant area of the suburbs.
In the photo I am on the beach of Viareggio with my beloved granddaughter
Gulia now 7 years old. When I have half a day off I like drive her to sea,
it is a short journey of 15 minutes and then ... there fun a lot to play with the sand and the waves in the sea.
When the time for being together is short we willingly go to the play park that is just located close to the holiday house.
Why the Owner Chose Lucca
This house is very old, the palace was built by the Archbishop in the eighteenth century.
Two sisters of my grandfather have bought and lived in this apartment. I have inherited it some
years ago and I think of going to live there when I am a little 'older so even if I can no longer drive the car I will have everything I need close to home.
The Unique Benefits of this Apartment
When I am in this home fell close contact with the magic heart of Lucca, from its ancient and fascinating architectural beauty, to the many artistic, cultural, religious events, from markets to concerts in the squares to classical music in some of the many churches.
Even if I'll be alone just getting out from the house I can find people to chat friendly and I know I can rely on neighbors as they are very kind and always willing to help every time I ask them for a favor.
I feel that this will be my future nest, warm and cozy in winter, fresh and relaxing in summer.
