8 Bedrooms Historical Masterpiece in the Heart of Lucca

Welcome to Casa Penelope, where enchanting rooms adorned with 500-year-old paintings beautifully evoke the city's profound antiquity. This luxurious apartment seamlessly blends original elements discovered during the building's restoration with contemporary décor, luminous furniture, state-of-the-art appliances, and abundant natural light.

Situated in the heart of Lucca, a short stroll from the San Michele Romanesque Church and the charming Via San Paolino, Casa Penelope offers an ideal home base for exploring the city's many attractions. Museums, restaurants, groceries, wine shops, and cafes are all within walking distance. This eight-bedroom noble floor apartment is perfect for a family vacation or a retreat with friends and colleagues, accommodating large groups with ease.

Stepping out of the apartment, you'll find yourself immersed in the very essence of Lucca. Embark on a delightful walk to Piazza San Michele, the Anfiteatro, the Guinigi Tower, Piazza Napoleone, and the designer shopping paradise of Via Fillungo and Via del Battistero. Spend the day in the nearby bohemian enclave of Piazza San Francesco. Both the train station and bus terminal are within a 5 to 12-minute walk, and a secure car parking lot is conveniently close, making Casa Penelope an excellent choice for sightseeing tours and easy weekend retreats.

Casa Penelope is housed on the second floor of a noble building dating back to the 1200s. On the main floor, a cozy salon is cradled in a rounded vault of stunning 1600s wall paintings, creating the perfect setting for enjoying a bottle of wine together in the evening. The fully equipped kitchen and a dining room for 16 guests complete this floor, along with four master bedrooms and four bathrooms (one ensuite).

The upper floor features three more bedrooms, each with an ensuite bathroom, plus an additional bedroom in the loft.

Excellent location
Perfect for a family stay. We've never had an apartment with such a good supply of plates, cups, cutlery etc. although larger glasses for long drinks would have been appreciated. The location could not have been better, right at the centre but still quiet. Any disadvantages we found were far outweighed by the wonderful surroundings and location.

Great Location
The location of Casa Penelope is perfect. We stayed for a month with friends and family. Proximity to great restaurants, the Wall, the bus station, churches and shops was ideal. Overall, it was a good experience, but we had a number of issues with the property. The apartment was on the second floor, not the first as advertised when we booked it, and when we inquired how many steps up to the apartment prior to booking, we were told there were 5. In fact there were 34. We probably would not have rented it if we had been told the truth, since several of us are "older". The WIFI did not work in all the rooms, the AC was not working, the stove and oven in one of the upstairs kitchens did not work nor did the TVS, and we weren't given keys to the doors to either of the separate upstairs wings. (The doors locked automatically when closed). The owner was able to get the WIFI working everywhere after a week and two visits, and the AC working after three visits. We had two days of super hot weather with no AC. And he eventually gave us his keys to the upstairs doors, with the admonition that they were the only set. All of these things should have been checked out and in working order before we arrived. The check-in process was poor. Sonja expressed that it was an inconvenience for her, showed us around the apartment only at our request. We were not shown how to operate the air conditioner, washers, TVs, or where the glasses and dishes were located (not in the kitchen!). And as she left from her hurried visit wit us, indicated that if we had problems, not to call her. We should address them to someone else in her office. We felt like we were an inconvenience to her. Communication with the management company was poor from the beginning. We made our reservation in Spring of 2021. While most of my emails regarding our stay were eventually answered, often the information I was trying to obtain was ignored. It is a great property AND really should be better managed.
