Stayed here for our honeymoon and it was the magical experience we hoped for when we booked it. Met and exceeded every expectation.Dario is an excellent host with amazing communication. The apartment is incredible, it's exactly like the photos, stunning views with an unbeatable location inside the walls of Lucca. The garden is lovely, being able to take it in every morning was priceless. The perfect spot to explore the beautiful city of Lucca.

A wonderful, stately and spacious apartment in this elegant palazzo. Historic Lucca is on the doorstep after leaving the grand portico and gardens full of lemon trees. The host is most helpful and responsive.

Absolutely fantastic stay at Palazzo Pfanner. Dario is incredibly helpful and his communication is great. Lucca is such a gorgeous city and we enjoyed hours cycling round the city walls. We visited Palazzo Pfanner a few years ago, so to have the opportunity to stay in an apartment there was such a treat. It is absolutely gorgeous! It has absolutely everything you could possibly need.

What a magnificent experience

We were greeted at the station and brought to the property which is just as it is pictured. Lucca is a very special historical and classy place. Can not speak more highly of our stay here. Cinque Terre was a day trip which was an 1hr train ride. Perfect location

Lucca Visit

The flat is amazing- more impressive in person than photos can show. It's in a beautiful villa that's inside a walled garden, so we got to enjoy the privacy and the whole garden. The flat is still decorated as authentic to the period, but the furnishings are comfortable and the 2 main rooms are huge. And you can't beat the location inside the walled portion of the city. We really enjoyed our stay!

We had such a lovely time at the Palazzo Pfanner. Beautiful property, just as described, and a powerful fan next to the bed to stay cool on those warm summer Italian nights! You won’t be disappointed, this place is beautiful. Thank you Dario!

A highlight of our trip

We will always have fond memories of our stay at the Palazzo Pfanner. What a privilege to stay in this fine Palazzo. We loved looking out the windows onto the amazing garden. Dario was wonderful and even invited us to attend a concert in the Palazzo. The location is a short walk from the walled city. So much to see there. Don’t pass up the chance to stay here.

Fabulous Palazzo

Beautiful apartment, high ceilings, gorgeous authentic time period rooms, spacious, clean, and the staircase leading up to the apartment, the pictures don't do it justice., would definitely stay there again if ever in Lucca. Dario was helpful with all of our questions/needs. Wonderful experience!

Awesomely wonderful.

Must experience a property like this to appreciate how the nobility lived. The gardens are out of this world for relaxation. The host Dario is a rather cultured person so a pleasure to meet. He is more than attentive to all enquiries about a stay in the adoring city of Lucca. A wonderful vacation in Pallazzo Pfanner, much more than ever expected.

Elegant and remarkable location

One could not imagine a better location for a stay in a Lucca apartment. Palazzo Pfanner's rooms, its history, the view out onto the gardens, and access to the garden is special. The Palazzo's location adjacent to the wall and closeness to shopping and restaurants is great. The only reservations I have is the need to pay closer attention to improving the quality of sheets and towels, and the kitchen accessories and amenities. These reservations are outweighed by the uniqueness of the property.

Pure magic

I have never stayed in a place as beautiful and awe-inspiring as Palazzo Pfanner. I teared up when I walked in. It is truly breathtaking. Dario is a lovely host who came to the rescue when I left my passport in the room after I'd checked out. Simply perfect in every way. I cannot wait to bring my family to this spectacular place. Lucca is now my favorite Italian town. I miss it already!

Lucca’s gem

Dario and Ettore, our hosts, we’re gracious and kind. The property is a historic landmark in Lucca. People pay to view the gardens, that are basically our back yard. The gardens open to the public between 10-5. This afforded us the opportunity to have quiet breakfasts and dinners in this beautiful garden. Simply amazing! The rooms have 25’ ceilings and the rooms are huge. The bed was very comfortable.
