It was perfect: quiet, friendly staff, spotless, great breakfast daily, not too far from the train station, downtown Lucca for shopping, sightseeing, dining. I'm sorry I didn't stay longer, honestly. But I will return.

This is an excellent place. Near the train station and easy access to the town. The room is spacious and very clean. AC worked great. The breakfast is very healthy. The only negative was the check in. When I arrived the building was locked and nobody answered the bell. I waited almost 20 minutes before being let in.

STAY HERE!

Highest rating. This B&B had such friendly and helpful staff, CLEAN rooms and comfy beds. The room we stayed in had SO MUCH room! We had two queen beds and the largest bathroom I’ve seen in Italy. And everything was very clean, as well as cleaned daily when you left. The breakfast in the morning had fresh fruit, pastries, yogurt, and a coffee machine. The coffee wasn’t amazing but that’s the only thing I can say that wasn’t great about this spot. Highly recommend staying here. The WiFi is great, smart tv and the AC worked perfectly. Everywhere we wanted to go was close, be that bike rentals, food, sight seeing, etc. you should stay here!

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort

Not the best.

We paid over $300 for the room. Well over twice amount for a hotel room outside of the walls. We expected a lot better facilities. We now wish we would have stayed outside the walls of Lucca. The room was rather plain and the flooring was standard generic house tile. The size of the room felt small. The room was not fully furnished with towels. We thought that the towels were behind the door. We did get a shower floor mat which we used so we could get dressed. I would not pay over 100 euros per night here. The breakfast was a standard Italian breakfast, but I caution about the freshness of the items. I don’t like posting bad reviews. But this place needs improvements and a price reduction.
