Romantic LUCCA apartment With View Over a Church

This is a simply outstanding place in an exceptional location. The apartment is fully air conditioned which was a god send in the stifling summer heat. The rooms were comfortable, the furniture and decor is lovely, the kitchen was very functional and we received timely and very helpful assistance from our hosts whenever required.

The apartment was amazing. Large and airy. The rooms were beautiful and we loved staying there. Loved the frescoes and ceiling paintings in the living- and dining room. The apartment was also in a fantastic location and we had no trouble getting the car parked. We would love to come again

A stylish 1st floor apartment with a lovely view over Piazza San Giovanni. We loved the decor, furnishings, high ceilings and frescos. It gave the apartment a high standard feel. The location is excellent, especially if arriving by train as it is just a short walk the station. Everywhere within Lucca’s walls is a close walk. It is also generally very quiet at night, unless there is an event on, the piazza is very quiet. We attended a Lucca Summer Festival concert and it was so nice to have such a short walk back to the flat. All our interactions and communications with the property managers was positive and helpful and they provide a fantastic guide to Lucca which is worth a read.

We just returned from a two-week stay at St. Giovanni Apartment it was everything we hoped it would be. But the locationtwo minute walk to the main shopping area, less than five minutes to the train stationwas quite incredible! I think we walked to almost every site in town in less than 10 minutes. We typically walked back to the apartment for lunch and downtime before heading out for the afternoon adventure it's so close to everything that was no problem at all. The apartment itself is very cozy and comfortable. The two separate bedrooms are wonderful if someone wants to retire sooner than the other. Benedetta has a great library of art and history books that provide hours of entertainment and fill in holes in your knowledge of Lucca’s history. The apartment was very clean and very warm (it was quite cool this time of year in Lucca). Heating was extremely reasonable, just 6 euros daily less than I expected. Then we did not have to pay for any extra charge. The photos on the web site nicely captured the ambience of the space and appointments- There is no traffic sound at all as cars are not allowed in this area of the town. We cooked the majority of our meals in the apartment. It was easy and convenient and saved a great deal of expense. All the necessary equipment was there we just went to local grocery stores every day to buy our food. There's a wonderful Trattoria called Il Cuore (The Heart!) just around the corner of the church in front of the apartment. We had three meals there that were wonderful and the staff was great fun. Not many tourists, just locals. We were very happy at St. Giovanni apartment and quickly settled in. We would highly recommend it.

We travel to Italy every summer and are based in Lucca with my family every Christmas. Given the numerous holiday apartments I have rented over the years, Lucca Apartments and Villas service, attention to detail, consideration of their clients' individual needs, and the quality of her properties surpass any other agency and private owner I have used. Lucca is an enchanting family destination, and both the St Giovanni and Opera apartments that I used were just perfect for our mixed family group, with ample space in the beautiful living rooms and modern kitchens for time together, yet private quiet bedrooms and nice newly renovated bathroooms. The location is absolutely perfect, particularly if you are bringing a car, and both Benedetta and Sonia were the kindest and most helpful hosts I've met in all my years traveling to Italy. Thank you, as always, Lucca Apartments and Villas team!

Once again The Lucca apartments Villas team came thru. We had a big group but the three apartments were perfect, in a perfect location, all in the same building just down the street to the ice skating and main plaza. We were able, everyday, to just walk down to the Show where the Puccini concerts took place. No problem to get there, walk from station was short, bus was available and our favorite restaurant that Sonia suggested called GIGLIO was just one small block from apartments. We have stayed in Sonia’s apartments before, always have really like it and this time they had updated the bathrooms, very nice job. We love this area, lots of food, lots of shopping, great transportation. We are not afraid of busestrains. We will probably come here again in Fall, great weather, not as many tourists, lots of fun everywhere. Loved it!

The pictures do not do this apartment justice...it is even more beautiful than shown. The location couldn't be better right in the heart of the walled city close to all the attractions and excellent restaurants. The apartment is spacious and clean and beautifully appointed. The wireless works great as well. We loved staying here and will definitely book it again on a return trip to Lucca. Our family has rented homes for many years in Italy, Mexico, Costa Rica, Australia and the United States and this one rates among the best.

The apartment is fantastic! Everything one needs to have to spend time in this beautiful city. An elegant, spacious and sparkling clean apartment in a central area, perfect for sightseeing and to reach the railway station. We were 12 ladies celebrating my sisters Birthday {a special one}. I arranged with the owners to have a cake and wine etc. ready for us as a surprise. It was wonderfully set out on the table. We just walked into a party!!! We had a party in the charming garden of one of the apartments which was perfectly maintained and it was the perfect frame for our celebration. We rented three apartments from Lucca Apartment and Villas, all in the same building and we felt so lucky to have been able to stay in this amazing accommodation. Everything was perfectly kept and maintained and management was so attentive to our needs. Thank you all the Lucca Apartments and Villas Staff!

The apartment is eveything that is promised in the listing, and very much as the photos show. We found it ideal for four. The location was great, far enough away from the masses of tourists but close enough to walk to the 'hot spots' Amphiteatre square', 'antique market' and the new Luc.ca museum of contemporary art which was a lovely walk from the apartment. We loved wandering the narrow streets close to the apartment, dicovering the small eateries and enjoying the quieter side of Lucca. Beautiful violin player outside magnificant church and just the four of us.... magical. The bus terminal is aprox 5 mins walk away, great for daily trips. We found the apartment impeccably clean and all appliances worked including satellite tv with international channels and the high speed wi-fi. The added bonus with Lucca Apartments and Villas apartment is Chiara's welcome and true Italian hospitality. She and her cousin Benedetta are great comunicators, emaiing us to let us know there was a train and bus strike. Our train made it through and Sonia and her cousin met us at the train station and walked us to the apartment! Sonia, having shown us everthing about the apartment, took us to the open markets and around Lucca on her way to home, she really treated us like family. Our memories of lucca will always include their very warm welcome. It is often people that make difference between a holiday and a great holiday experience.
