' Puccini '... lovely apartment in the Historical Centre of Lucca

The apartment is located in the Historic Center of Lucca inside the City Walls.
It is very spacious and the rooms of this beautiful 'period' apartment open like a flower: the noble 'Tessieri' pavements act as a union between the connecting rooms: the Kitchen, the dining room and the living room for the time shared together; three bedrooms and two bathrooms where you can relax.
There is 120 sqm filled with light, and a beautiful view towards the gardens of the internal courtyard. It's spectacular to open the windows in the springtime and enjoy the pink colours of the tree in bloom.... to walk downstairs on the walls of the city shaded by the 'century old ' trees of which the colours change season after season .... will be a true pleasure! The walls of Lucca, our special and unique garden surrounding the town for 4.5km, are at 100m. Shopping facilities, museums, bars and restaurants are within 2-3min walking.

Apartment description: the apartment consists of an entrance hall, a dining room with a table seating up to 6 persons, a fully equipped kitchen with window, a salon, 2 double bedrooms, one twin bedroom, one bathroom with double sink, wc, bidet, tub and shower and one bathroom with sink, wc, and shower enclosure.
"Puccini" apartment is equipped with double-glass windows, air conditioning, Wi-Fi, washing machine, dishwasher, microwave, hair dryers and many other small appliances. The heating system is independent.

Further details: Lucca is an ideal location for a winter break. The climate is often dry and cold in the winter which makes it a pleasant time for sight-seeing ,and the popular sights in Florence and Pisa are far less crowded than in the summer. Lucca is lovely before Christmas and good for shopping, both in town and at the various designer outlets 40 - 60 minutes from Lucca. Viareggio, only 20 minutes by train or car from Lucca, plays host to the second largest carnival celebrations in Italy. This is usually in February/March over four weekends and well worth seeing.

Visit the markets: antique and arts and crafts, the 3rd and 4th weekend of every month, the traveling market every Wednesday and Saturday
“La Strada del Vino” (the “wine tasting” road): the road for food and wine tasting connoisseurship for agricultural businesses of Lucca’s hills, local wine and oil tasting.

Further activities:: Opera: Giacomo Puccini was born right here! There are many opportunities and occasions during the year to listen to the masterpieces of the famous musician.
Summer Festival: A summer release of live concerts of international artists in the historic Napoleon Square.
The” Lucca” September: a month of cultural events, both religious and folklore. The 13th of September is not be missed: the entire city accompanies the “Saint Volto” in an atmospheric and charming procession along the streets of the historic centre.
Murabilia: a market/exhibition of mostly rare plants and flowers, held annually in the month of September on one of the most beautiful bulwark of the cities walls. Enriched by presentations, closer examinations and competitions regarding interesting themes in this sector.
Comics: the 2008 edition of the Internal release of the comic, of animated films and illustrations and games marked more than 100 000 passionate fans: not to be missed! Held in October/November.

Lucca Trip
Location was superb. The apartment had absolutely everything you could possibly need including maps, recommendations, etc. Kitchen was lovely. Since we four happen to be in our 70's, the only negative for us were the 42 steps. However, Giovanna was there to help us when we initially arrived.

Perfect Place for Us!
The location is wonderful! I wanted to make some meals ""at home"". The grocery store was within walking distance and the kitchen had everything we needed. In addition the regional train station was within walking distance which made a day trip to Pisa very easy. Giovanna our host answered every email prior to our arrival. She met us at the apartment to review the property and suggestions for activities. Lucca and Giovanna, thank you for making Lucca a city we want to visit again!

Special family stay
We loved our stay at this apartment in Lucca. Conveniently located to train station, bus stops, Supermarket , shops and restaurants. We had hoped for an Italian home away from home and that’s exactly what we got. The kitchen and all rooms were stocked to make our stay comfortable and had everything we needed to make us feel at home. We enjoyed day trips to Pisa, Cinque Terre and Tuscan towns. At night we enjoyed strolling and exploring inside the walls. Bike riding on the walls was a highlight for the family. Giovanna was a fabulous friendly host, who gave us lots of information.

Great place to stay!
We loved the Giovanna's apartment - it was very clean and brilliantly well equipped. We arrived a little early in the middle of a thunderstorm and Giovanna's graciously let us in and welcomed us to her apartment. We had a lovely week, the location is excellent for sight seeing, shopping and relaxing, there are great little bars, cafes and restaurants right outside the door, its an easy walk to the supermarket and there was even a roundabout/ carousel nearby which our 7 year old twins loved. The apartment has a warm welcoming feel and I loved cooking in the well equipped kitchen with the beautiful garden view. The weather was very wet the week we stayed but knowing we could come back and get warm, dry and comfortable was great. Giovanna was the perfect host.

beautiful, gracious apartment
I have stayed in several apartments in Lucca and Puccini has an unusual amount of natural light and windows, and is very nicely furnished and appointed. We enjoyed a lovely cross-breeze through the open windows on warm June days and had views of a beautiful, large garden. Everything we needed for cooking and serving meals was available and the bathrooms were well stocked. Giovanna could not have been a more welcoming, positive and warm host -- whenever we needed anything she arrived with it almost immediately, and with a smile.

Great apartment in very good location
This is the second time we've rented this property. Liked it so much that we came back. Giovanna is lovely and helpful. The apartment is perfect. Good layout and has everything you might need. It's a climb to the apartment (3rd floor by American standards) - if you have mobility issues, i suggest trying elsewhere. Window screens aren't really a thing in Europe, so respect the occasional mosquito. AC is extra, but respect only a couple $ or € per day unless you really crank it. Parking is at the train station, if you want it. Most of the walled city of a ZTL, which makes it nice for pedestrians. Location is great, close to Porto san Pietro, within the walls. Train station is a quick walk. Small grocery store is an easy walk, but a big supermarket will require a car. I would happily come back again. Lucca is a delight and this is a lovely place to stay while you're there.

Just about perfect.
The property is as exactly described, but that doesn't really do it justice. The location is just about perfect, very close to Porta San Pietro but pretty well shielded from random street noise. There are several good bakeries (Dolce e Pane has great bread in the morning) and gelato shops within a couple blocks and you can't walk 5 minutes without finding a good cafe. If you're coming with kids, the carousel is pretty close. The apartment was clean, nicely furnished, and lovely. You could reasonably fit six people here. Two double beds, two twins. It's on the third floor (by American counting) and they are tall floors - this might be difficult for those with issues climbing stairs. Assuming that's not an issue for you, you will love it. Giovanna was efficient and pleasant and very helpful. Everything worked out really well. Though it's not really part of the property listing or my review, the downstairs neighbors are very nice, too. Lucca itself is just a wonderful town. Not too big, not too small, not too touristy. We'll be back to Lucca and I sincerely hope to stay right here again.

Light and airy in Lucca!
We we horrified that the place we had originally reserved in Lucca (B&B Anfiteatro) canceled on us 2 days before we were going to arrive. We were already in Italy, and had no where to stay. I rushed back to get online so we could look for alternate arrangements. We found this place and took a chance. What a delight! We are so happy things worked out the way they did. Giovanna met us at the gate to Lucca, to walk us to the apartment. It is large (the entire top floor). It has many windows that you can open up and let a nice breeze blow through. It's in a great location, just a few blocks inside the walls. Lucca is pretty small, so walking everywhere, within the walls, is not a problem. Just make sure you have a map so you're not walking in circles (like we did, at first). After showing us around the 3 bedroom apartment, Giovanna showed me where we could park. It was only a short walk from the apartment, so it was very convenient. We drove to Pisa (15 minutes) one day and to the coast (Varriego, 20 minutes) another day, so it was also a great hub for venturing out. We wanted to go to Cinque Terre (about 80 minutes) but ran out of time. The only downside we experienced was not being able to stay longer. We really enjoyed the apartment. We're now glad that our original plans fell through. Thank you so much, Giovanna (and Francesco), we had a wonderful time!

Perfect
I hesitate to tell anyone about this place because then everyone will want to stay at this property. It was absolutely perfect in all respects. I have never stayed at a cleaner or well equipped property. I am missing not being there. Even on a rainy day it is a great place to be looking out over the roofs of Lucca and listening to the rain, sitting in the comfortable lounge and plotting our next outing There are stairs to climb so a note of caution to those with difficulties.
