Residenza Mansi I
The ultimate in luxury! A Broadway Producer's Private Retreat in the heart of Lucca’s "centro storico." Every possible care has been taken to furnish and present this apartment in a luxurious and opulent manner that will delight even the most assiduous holiday makers.
Exceptionally large and spacious, there are five bedrooms, four full bathrooms (a feature being the main suite’s incredible double en-suite with connecting shower room.), three dining areas, a sitting room with balcony, a television lounge, two kitchens, and a very large terrace.
The full apartment is extremely spacious for 9 guests. The fourth bedroom contains a trundle bed (can be for two people), but the room leads to the terrace, so there is reduced privacy. It is perfect for children.
In the same building, the owner has also restored and beautifully furnished a three bedroom/1.5 bath (shower only) apartment that sleeps eight, a two bedroom/two full bath apartment that sleeps six and a one bedroom/1 bath apartment that sleeps two and features a living room with home cinema, card game table and a Yamaha Baby Grand Piano. PRICING AND AMENITIES FOR THESE APARTMENTS ARE INDEPENDENT OF THE DESCRIPTIONS ON THIS PAGE FOR RESIDENZA MANSI I. PLEASE INQUIRE ABOUT A SPECIFIC APARTMENT. GROUPING ALL APARTMENTS, RESIDENZA MANSI CAN COMFORTABLY ACCOMMODATE 24 GUESTS!!

Owner's Profile
Year Purchased: 2004
Why the Owner Chose Lucca
Lucca is slightly lost in time. It is a perfectly preserved jewel of times gone by, yet it has all the modern conveniences. It boasts an opera company (Lucca is the birthplace of Puccini), a theatre, a soccer team, and many museums. Beyond all that Lucca has to offer, it is the perfect base to explore Tuscany and the Italian Riviera.

The Residenza Mansi was the perfect hub for our stay in Italy. This is a wonderfully appointed "home" with a great feel, plenty of room, and a perfect location. We cooked some great family dinners here, and took day trips from the train and bus stations all over Italy. I can't imagine a better place to stay in Lucca or in Italy for that matter. The bicycles made our stay even more fun, helping us blend in like the locals… Thanks for a great stay Charles and Chiara!
