Gabriele is a very nice host and is really attentive to his guests. His apt is spacious, clean, bright, modern and has the most interesting knickknacks and furnishings. It is decorated most tastefully and has thoughtful touches throughout the apt and garden, to wit: mirrors, hooks, shelves, artwork, drying rack, plenty of a variety of hangars, etc. The kitchen is well equipped with a microwave, espresso maker, plenty of dishes and glasses, including wine glasses. On top of that it was stocked with coffee, water, juices, sugar, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, etc. But the best of it was that there were two bicycles with locks for our use and the city of Lucca is perfect for cycling. There is a very wide rampart on top of the wall encircling the old city that has been turned into a super space for bikers, walkers, strollers with a wide asphalted area plus a wider green space. The apt is located just outside the walls so you can park your car easily and for free plus be within a short walk of the old city. It is also very easy to find when you arrive in Lucca. The people of Lucca are friendly and helpful. Gabriele gave us very good recommendations for restaurants, sightseeing and grocery stores. We would return without any hesitation and likewise recommend the apt and town to our friends and family without reservation.
