IL GLICINE DI LUCCA very close to the center, private parking, garden, bicycles, free Wi-Fi

The apartment modern and tastefully is located in a quiet residential area and within walking distance from the historic center of Lucca; its main feature is the easy access to the historical centre and the surrounding areas of Lucca.
The accommodation is studied in details and consists of a large kitchen, a comfortable living room with a double sofa bed, one double bedroom with a large wardrobe and a spacious bathroom with shower. This apartment has independent heating system, a private garden with outdoor space for eating, a private gated parking, two bicycles, free wi-fi and satellite led TV with international channel.
Guest Access
The apartment is on the ground floor of a villa and is accessed by Via delle Fornacette; it is situated in a quiet area only 500 metres from the historical walls of the medieval city.
Interaction with Guests
We will meet you on arrival to provide you with a short description of Lucca, its local facilities and places of interest and answer any queries you may have.
The Neighborhood
Located just a short walk from the walls of the historical centre, all the attractions of the centre are easily accessible on foot; you will be able to explore the many wonderful restaurants, bars and shops of the centre that are within 10-15 minutes walk, you could have breakfast in a local bar just 50m from the apartment and dine in any of the excellent restaurants of the historic centre or the surrounding area..
Getting Around
The historical centre of Lucca has restricted vehicle access. If you will arrive by car, there is no problem because the apartment has a private gated parking. The train station and the bus station are just 15 minutes walk away from the apartment. It is traditional in Lucca to explore the city on bicycle and the apartment has two bicycles which you can use.

We would politely request that all guests treat the apartment with respect. Recycling is considered an important part of life in Lucca, so we would ask all guests to participate in the daily recycling scheme. No smoking permitted in the apartment.

Great End to Tuscan Vacation
It was a very spacious apt. in a very convenient location for someone needing a place to keep car. We were walking distance to super market, Catholic Church and the walled city of Lucca. At Anna’s recommendation we went to a Puccini concert at San Giovanni and an organ concert at San Martín Cathedral. The bikes were great for circumambulating the walls. We used the area to access Pisa, Livorno and Siena . It is convenient to Autostrada. We loved Telos the red golden retriever. We would use the apt again without question.

Wonderful time in Lucca
The location was perfect. We had a hire car so staying just outside the city walls was great especially as we could park behind the secure gates of the property. There was a huge supermarket within a 5 minute walk and ample bakeries etc. Lots of space, comfy bed and powerful shower made it a great holiday. The owner responded extremely quickly when we needed advice.

Il Glicine Stay 26 May to 5 June 2019
The apartment is very comfortable, it is as seen and described on the website, spacious, modern and well equipped with a pleasant outdoor seating area. It is in a great location - a quiet residential area yet only a ten minute walk to the historical centre of Lucca. Anna's administration is efficient and you feel very welcome. We found Anna's restaurant recommendations very helpful, particularly enjoying the traditional 'Trattoria Da Giulio', though that is just one of the many restaurants to enjoy as you are spoilt for choice. For a pasta lunch we would suggest trying 'In Pasta' on Corso Garibaldi and on the night that you just fancy a pizza try 'Pizzeria Dal Ciaccia' just a few blocks away on San Concordio. (For those who are not enthusiastic about animals, you may just find yourself converted by the occasional company of Telos the remarkable family dog.) Lucca itself has a lot to offer as does the surrounding area, we had a car and once you have mastered the one-way system around Lucca you are well positioned for getting about. For drivers - one word of caution concerning the 'aeroplane' roundabout near McDonald's. It is not a roundabout! When returning to the apartment from the north be sure to take the second exit otherwise you will find yourself on the toll road. If visiting Pisa we suggest using the SS12, just by the Esselunga supermarket, go straight on and under the bridge, it takes you directly to the north gate which leads to Piazza dei Miracoli. We parked in a residential area outside the walls and walked. We would definitely recommend Lucca as a holiday destination and Anna's apartment as the place to stay. Liz and Mervyn UK

We stayed at Anna and Gabriele's apartment for 6 weeks and it was perfetto. Anna made our life easy with great information and local knowledge, and we enjoyed every minute. The apartment is well appointed, close to the old town and the community of San Concordia. We hope to return.

Perfect location to Lucca
There are far too many positives to write about. The location couldn’t get any better. It’s a short walk to the walls of Lucca. The apartment was spacious and clean, and provided all the necessary kitchen items one needs. It’s quiet and private, and a great place to rest after many hours being a tourist. The golden retriever “Telos”, is an added bonus. He stops by once in awhile for a scratch and then leaves. Not sure if the 3 plug adapter is standard, but my 2 plug European hair dryer wouldn’t fit the outlets. They had an adapter on a hair dryer and was able to utilize for my own dryer. As an American this is first time I’ve seen 3 plugs. This isn’t a negative, just an fyi should you travel from someplace other than Europe. This rental really fit our needs to a t, and the owners were very pleasant to deal with. Highly recommend.

Beautiful design and very comfortable
We enjoyed our stay at Il Glicine di Lucca very much. The apartment had everything that you could need, including a beautiful, friendly dog. The location of the property is outside the walls of Lucca, but we enjoyed the 15 minute walk to the centre. Anna and Gabriel were extremely helpful and accommodating, discreetly on hand if we needed anything. I would recommend staying here!

This is a great appartment - 1 km outside the walls which is great if you have a rental car
The appartment is really easy to get on and off the motorway to get around Tuscanny if you have a rental car and save the hassle of parking in Lucca. We used the bikes to get quickly into Lucca - under 5 mins There is a great local restaraunt for the nights you dont want to go into the center and the supermarket is really close. The only slight downside is no air conditioning and although fairly cool as it is in the basement it was pretty warm to sleep - dont bring your pajamas :)

The property offered eveything that we needed and was furnished to a very high standard. Although there is no air-conditioning, the apartment's situation on the lower ground floor keeps it cool, without restricting sunlight and our ability to dine outside. Being 72 & 70 respectively, we were slighty daunted at first by the walk into Lucca but after a couple of days this morphed into a very pleasant stroll, and ,we're sure, kept us fit. The presence of Esse Lunga Supermarket 10 minutes walk away makes self -catering easy and pleasurable. The old town of Lucca is an absolute delight, and would take more space than is available to describe it. We took trains to Florence and Viareggio, and found travel arrangements easy. All in all a great experience, and it's pleasure to recommend it .

An Excellent Rental
This excellent rental provided an exceptional home base for us to explore Northern Tuscany. Its convenient location, close to the train station, to a great grocery store, to the major highway and to the beautiful old town of Lucca is its best feature. Inside it is modern and clean; outside are two comfortable sitting areas. Anna is a gracious owner. We hope to return.

Exceeded our expectations!
We had a wonderful stay at this apartment on a gated property within walking distance to the old city. Our host, Anna, was a lovely and accommodating host! The apartment was larger than the photos represent. It was not only very clean, it was quiet, and she clearly was very thoughtful in the small details of providing the necessary equipment/supplies needed if you were inclined to cook. Their golden retriever, Telos, was an added bonus! I wholeheartedly recommend staying in the apartment while enjoying Lucca and nearby areas. We can't wait to return! Ciao!

Excellent location for enjoying Lucca and day tripping
Modern, well maintained rental unit on beautiful gated property. We found the rental as described on VRBO, spacious and well equipped. It was a short walk to the walled city as well as all services including supermarket, cafes, shops etc. Anna was a most accommodating host and responded to our requests and questions in a very helpful manner. Lucca is well worth exploring in detail and we especially recommend experiencing one of the daily Puccini concerts held in the historic Church of San Giovanni. In summary, excellent accommodation in a beautiful area of Tuscany.

Private, secure and peaceful location
This apartment is set at the rear of the owners home in a very peaceful setting with a garden area available and also parking, just outside the walls of Lucca. The rooms of the apartment are very spacious, everything you could possibly need in the kitchen, a large lounge room and a very well appointed modern bathroom. Access to the old town was only a short walk, or if you wanted, bikes were available to use. There was a supermarket close by along with several restaurants and the train station was within walking distance too. This is a great place to base youself with easy access to Pisa, Florence and many other towns in the area. Anna was friendly and helpful both in person and with all correspondence and provided plenty of helpful information. We would definitely recommend it.

Schöner Urlaub
Die Wohnung ist sehr schön und mit allem ausgestattet, was man braucht. Die Vermieter sind total nett, bieten ihre Hilfe an, drängen sich aber nicht auf. Man hat seine Ruhe, obwohl Sie im gleichen Haus wohnen. Von der Wohnung sind es zu Fuß nur 15 Minuten bis in die Stadt. Einziges Manko: Da es sich um eine Kellerwohnung handelt, hat man im Herbst kaum Sonne zum Draußensitzen.

Sehr nette Vermieter. haben uns immer geholfen wenn wir Fragen hatten. Die Ferienwohnung liegt sehr günstig. 10-15 Minuten zu Fuß ins Historische Stadtzentrum. Das Auto konnte auf dem Gelände geparkt werden. Die Ferienwohnung hat nur ein Schlafzimmer und ist daher nur für zwei Personen zu empfehlen. Weitere Personen müssten auf dem Schlafsofa im Wohnzimmer schlafen. Petra und Martin
