We enjoyed our stay at Inside the Wall . The room was comfortable, clean and very walkable to everywhere in Lucca . One small setback was on the weekend evening we were there , there was a substantial amount of noise outside, quite late in the evening from young people leaving adjacent piazzas . Certainly not the fault of the property managers .

What an unexpected gem! We recently stayed at Inside the Wall and would absolutely recommend this to anyone travelling to Lucca. We received welcome messages prior to our arrival. Our hostess met us on arrival and the room was both beautifully decorated and immaculately clean. We had a small issue with the AC, but this was immediately rectified with above and beyond service. This was definitely one of the highlights of our recent trip and we sincerely hope we'll have the opportunity to return one day.

Perfect Place To Stay In Lucca

We had an amazing stay in Luca. Our room at “Inside the wall” was perfect! Easy to walk to everything in side the wall of Old city of Lucca. We can’t wait to come back.

Amazing room!

This is such a hidden gem! We stayed in a first floor room and it was decorated so cute! Super clean and loved the decor. Loved the location. It is a 20 min walk from the train station but we took a taxi. Unfortunately we weren’t able to use the air conditioning because there is an Italian law that hotel A/C units cannot run until May 1st (energy conservation and something to do with where Italy gets its electricity and the ongoing conflicts). Not the hotels fault, though! Absolutely lovely place and we’ll be back! (Would love an iron in the room)
