*Elegance in a 1500s Palazzo* · Lucca Centro

Residenza Sofia combines the charm of a Cinquecento palazzo with the comfort of a home crafted down to the smallest detail. Here you will sleep beneath cross vaults, breakfast in a light-filled kitchen and spend your evenings over a game of billiards or a film in the living room. Two bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms ensure space and privacy, while the Italian-style courtyard offers quiet just steps from the centre. All the best of Lucca within reach, with the calm of a true residence.

In the heart of Lucca's historic centre, in a Cinquecento palazzo, an apartment across several levels with timeless charm. On the main floor, a bright living room with dining area and fully equipped kitchen, beneath crystal chandeliers. A staircase connects the levels: above, two double bedrooms, each with its own bathroom, one with a shower and one with a tub for a moment of indulgence; below, a space to play billiards or work out. Outside, an Italian-style courtyard where time seems to slow down.

The main bedroom opens beneath ancient cross vaults, where a crystal chandelier lights the evening with its glow. The King Size bed, with a tufted velvet headboard, invites rest between crisp white sheets. In the morning, light enters through the window overlooking the rooftops of the historic centre, and the parquet warms the first steps. A large full-height wardrobe holds everything, leaving the room its silent breath.

An intimate room, beneath white vaults that trace its volumes. The Queen Size bed, with a velvet headboard, rests against the wall where a small painting recalls the Tuscan hills. Beside it, a wooden writing desk and a design lamp create a perfect corner to read or set down a thought on paper. Light filters through the leaded-glass window, while the warm parquet accompanies each step. The en-suite bathroom completes the room, a step away from rest.

In the background, the staircase with its wrought-iron railing connects the home's different levels and gives depth to the whole, in a continuous dialogue between the white of the walls and the warm tones of the furnishings.

The palazzo overlooks an Italian-style courtyard, a common space shared with the other residents. Among carefully shaped box hedges, potted citrus trees and the warm yellow of the historic façades, it is a corner to pause in the shade during the hottest hours. The arches and the stone-framed windows tell of the palazzo's centuries, offering a rare quiet in the heart of Lucca's historic centre.

The billiard table, with its green cloth, is the gathering point for a game after dinner, lit by the hanging lamp and flanked by velvet armchairs where you can sit and leaf through a book. A little beyond, a small gym equipped with a treadmill, exercise bike and weight station lets you keep your own routine even while travelling. A corner of the home designed for leisure, at any hour.
