I have stayed in a number of properties in Lucca, and Le Palme was without a doubt my favorite. Very safe, with elevator access key. Views from the apartment were charming and delightful, courtyard on one side and beautifully manicured grounds on the other. The kitchen was very well equipped with all the possible utensils for the preparation of meals, pots and pans were clean and plentiful. Dishwasher and Washing Machine were like new, and both were very efficient. Extra linens and towels were provided, which were greatly appreciated, considering my month long stay. Enrico is the perfect host, and you can certainly tell that he has given a great deal of thought to the total comfort of his guests...this is demonstrated by the decor and most importantly, by the screened windows, which are unheard of in Lucca. It was so nice to be able to open the windows and feel the lovely breezes, anytime of the night or day, and not be bothered by pests.
The location is right on the main shopping and activity center of Fillungo, steps from the Anfiteatro, pizzerias, restaurants, local market, Momus pasticceria, gelaterias and shopping for beautiful local goods, including leather and fine silk scarves.
I will definitely choose this property for my next trip to Lucca.
Thank you, Enrico, for your kind hospitality.
